For months I’ve been dying to share this charmingly detailed wedding with you… and now I finally can!! You may recognize the incredible wedding cake from TLC‘s Fabulous Cakes (try to catch a re-run if you can! :)), or the wedding itself from its feature earlier this week on Style Me Pretty (thanks, ladies!!). Now I wanted to take my turn in sharing all the gorgeousness with you! Make sure to visit the Style Me Pretty post for my full write-up. Since I did a summary recap there, I feel like it would be redundant to write a paraphrased version here. I will say, however, that this wedding was SO special to me because:
- The bride and groom were two of the sweetest people ever, and I consider Kristin (the bride) a dear new friend. 🙂 I also had the pleasure of working with Susan (Hi Susan!!), Kristin’s mother, and I loved getting to know her. It is always such a blessing to work with such wonderful people!!
- The vendors were dreamy. A big bunch of my favorites, all rolled into one ridiculously perfect day!
- The details were incredible! I have to give credit to Kristin for all of the amazing signage, stationery and tiny details like the lace napkin ties that made the wedding such a dream. It was an honor knowing that she was entrusting all of her plans to me on the big day, and I could not have been happier with how it all turned out!
Now on to the delightful photos courtesy of my friend and fellow sushi aficionado, Michael Norwood:
Kristin is arrestingly beautiful…
…And also such a joyful spirit! Love love love this pic!
Kristin with her aforementioned sweetheart-of-a-mom <3
Good-looking bridal party!! Notice the very special ringbearer…
Love, laughter, and a dog named Baxter!! (This was the motto of the day!)
Handwritten escort cards, stitched with yellow thread, and placed on a tiered platform (built by the groom!) covered with vintage doilies and a scattering of playful buttons.
THE cake. The details on each tier were incredible… Melody & her staff blow me away every.single.time.
And the cake you *didn’t* see on TLC — Baxter in cake form!! 🙂 Don’t worry, he wasn’t consumed (for the most part… LOL).
Twelve feet of dessert. Yes please!
Me the Mr. & Mrs.!! I adore this pic! You can get a glimpse of my wedding day style — I like to be formal and punchy at the same time… always integrating some of the inspiration behind the day in my outfit. 🙂 It’s my signature!
