Keep on reading for some insider tips and head on over to the full gallery captured by Cassi Claire featuring the dreamiest blooms from Faye + Renee to get those creative juices flowing.
From Cassi Claire Photography... This European inspired wedding editorial is perfect for the travel-loving couple who adores a European romance but wants to keep their nuptials local. We wanted to show you how you can embrace the beauty of a venue in your own state, while still having your favorite trends from destination weddings across the world! Planned by Copper + Chloe, we wanted to strike the balance between romantic and soft but also play with lots of layers of texture to create a setting that wowed and transported guests to a different country.
Faye + Renee designed a breathtaking structure over the table that included billowing silky drapery, floating chandeliers, and lush florals in hues of pink with bleached pampas grass and cascading orchids for dimension. They also created an jaw-dropping lounge area from their collective line that was filled with velvet textures, chandeliers, the most beautiful furniture, and lush flowers everywhere.
Barely Blushink created an invitation suite that would be sure to set the tone and get guests excited to escape to another world for a day! For a new play on escort cards, Erica created custom calligraphy name sashes to adorn every chair.
The bride wore two different looks by Alexandra Grecco - an elegant lace long-sleeve gown for the first half of the day and then a subtly-sexy plunging neckline gown for the reception. Bella Belle Shoes made sure the look was romantic from head to toe! Having Cassi Claire capture all of the beautiful moments in her romantic and timeless photography style was the final touch to help us execute our vision!
