Lindsey & John Wedding, III

Well, before we wrap up our vintage glam wedding post of the day, I'd like to take a moment and focus on some final details that speak volumes to the style of the entire event!

Carnations, carnations, carnations! Yep, that's right, gorgeous, stunning, enormous carnation arrangements. When trying to cut back on floral, try to focus on flowers that go a long way. Carnations and roses are both perfect examples of floral blooms that give you a lot of bang for your buck. I know you have probably long dreamed of having fabulous peonies and hydrangeas at your affair, however there are still many ways of achieving beautiful arrangements on a scaled back budget.

Tip of the day: If you love the lush, romantic, full look of peonies, try to incorporate large open-bloom roses in place of pricey peonies. You'll have a comparable look that's friendlier on your pocket.



If floral is not in your budget at all, try to come up with creative elements that still create a romantic ambiance for your affair. At the end of the day, your guests will be moved and inspired by the overall personal details that encompass your special day, not the floral alone. Lindsey & John created a whimsical touch to their affair on a minimal budget by bringing in large white balloons and white feather boas.

To keep things classy yet playful when incorporating balloons, be sure to use very large balloons (3 ft) as opposed to the standard sizes.



Thanks Lindsey & John for inspiring us with your über glamorous wedding!

Lindsey & John Wedding, II

In the words of Rachel Zoe, "This is bananas!" I am just head over heels in love with the gorgeousness just oozing from this wedding and the beautiful fashion elements incorporated. I first stumbled across this wedding from the blog of the super talented photographer Kristin Vining (Charlotte NC). I think it's so great that there are so many stunning details to Lindsey & John's event, however they achieved them all in a rather simplistic way. It definitely goes to show you just how far a bit of creativity can take you!

I adore these vintage bridesmaids necklaces, they look as if they were borrowed from Jackie-O herself. What's not to love about them when they were purchased from Forever 21!




Where was this flower girl dress when I needed it? Simply adorable! I just love the vintage vibe of all of the fashion pieces and accessories. When planning a memorable event, remember that vintage finds are like little treasures, they will help to create a sense of "old romance" to your affair.

If I were to do it all over again...

Well, I guess it would be somewhat of a faux-pas to say, "If I were to do it all over again...," considering my very own wedding of my dreams was just less than 3 months ago! However, our upcoming post is so drool-worthy and full of old Hollywood glamour I can not help but envision what my very own wedding could have been like had I infused the charming editorial details that Lindsey & John brought to life in their Happily Ever After moment. Brace yourselves, this one is simply amazing...

Stay tuned for more information on the many details that went into the making of this gorgeous wedding!
