Celebrity Wedding: Hilary Duff

Ok, so we've all seen a lot of celebrity weddings, and being in this business, I've seen a lot of weddings in general. But this wedding, of Hilary Duff, to me stands out above the rest.

Her dress was an original Vera Wang fit for a princess. 





Ok, so out of all the celebrity weddings I've seen, by far, my favorite decor of any celeb wedding is this one. I love all of the antique hanging lamps, swagged fabric draping, and the gardeny feel of many of today's weddings. It was over the top but not in a stuffy way, it was romantic, and warm & inviting.

 

And my fabulous friends over at Fantasy Frostings did this wedding cake, and I love that it's a unique spin on a traditional white cake. So unique.

Fun Fact: She was the same age I was when I got married.

Celebrity Wedding: Molly Sims

The photo I loved the most in this wedding is the photo of the bride with her bridesmaids, each in their own unique dress. I absolutely love this trend and if I got married all over again I would definitely let my girls pick their own dresses based on their own styles & budgets.

The bride's Marchesa gown was simple, elegant & romantic.

And who doesn't love nuptuals in wine country?

Real Wedding: Kelley & Rob, Part 2

 This wedding was inspired by an old southern mansion. The bride & her mother wanted it to feel as if the guests were invited to their home & were wined & dined with the best food, best entertainment, and best decor they could find.

 So we used a lot of vintage elements which were rented from Archive Vintage Rentals and filled with floral decor by Peony & Plum who knocked it out of the park, yet again.

 For the main table we used a natural wood table setup as a kings banquet table with a white runner, china plates in 4 different colorful patterns and auntique silverware from Classic Party Rentals.  

 The cake by Fantasty Frostings was covered in handmade sugar rosepetals and sat atop a fabulous linen from La Tavola. We accented the table with simple mercury glass votive holders, miniature pink spray roses in full heads & petals to give it a simple romantic look.

Trend: Ombre Wedding Cakes

I love using color to help express the style of a wedding and this is such a cool and unique way to do it. It's called Ombre, basically you have colors that look as if they fade into each other which creates a luxurious and unique effect. Here's some amazing Ombre cakes I found.

Vendor Pick: Flower Wild

Words can't really describe how gorgeous, whimsical, and ethereal Flower Wild's work is.

Honestly, every arrangement looks so effortless and it looks as if all of the flowers have been picked from a luscious backyard full of peonies, garden roses, and ranunculus.

I'm going to just let the flowers speak for themselves.

Accessory Wednesday: Pin Me Up Couture

I was browsing through Etsy and came across these gorgeous birdcage veils. In my opinion, the birdcage veil is classy and chic and reminiscent of days gone by. Plus they are also sassy and flirty and damn sexy. Pin Me Up Couture can custom make any birdcage veil for you or you can choose from their fabulous collection.
