Glamorous Art Deco

November 20, 2009 | 5 comments

Jill & Andrew knew they wanted an Art Deco style wedding as soon as they got engaged. Jill in particular really looked the part in her Priscilla of Boston dress, gorgeous custom birdcage veil from Unveiled Bridal Designs, stunning necklace by Ranjana Khan and customised J Crew shoes.

Jill told me all about their day:
Andrew and I both love the Art Deco period of art, fashion and music. From the first moment he proposed with an estate amethyst rose gold ring from the 1940s (Louisiana), we knew our wedding would be vintage inspired. We love black and ivory and used these colors to create our classic wedding story. Peacock feathers, swing music, and birdcage veils for the belles of the bride all set the stage for our soiree. We fell in love with Savannah because of the ornate iron work, stunning mansions, Southern & European charm and historic standing. Savannah itself represents both of our roots, myself being from Georgia, and Andrew from England. The Mansion provided the perfect backdrop. Both being foodies, we chose tiers of artisan cheese to create our wedding cake from Murray’s in New York City.

An Eco Friendly Family Wedding

November 17, 2009 | 4 comments

Fern & Ben organised their eco wedding themselves with the help of their families. Fern’s uncle even made the gorgeous cake. Everything from the invitations (recycled paper with hand-pressed flowers) to the ring bearer’s pillow (Fern sewed it herself) was a DIY job. Ben even designed Fern’s engagement ring from eco-friendly jewelers (rose gold with a single chocolate diamond.)

They chose to get married on the land where Fern was born. The material for the gorgeous napkins were all different patterns and colours and every table had a sharpie at it so the napkins could act as a guestbook, each piece will now be turned into a quilt with which they will always remember their wedding day.

A couple of other unique aspects from this wedding were the slideshow (they pinned old pictures of themselves on a clothesline in the trees) and the fact that Fern’s oldest sister married them. The dress that Fern wore was a designer dress that she borrowed (she’s a model). It was an original, one of a kind Melissa Sweet sample.

The flowers were different assortments of wildflowers and no table or bridesmaid had the same arrangement. The ENTIRE bridal party even went barefoot! They had a bagpipe player before the ceremony which was very, very cool and beautiful. Their reception was super fun with a bluegrass band, good-luck sparkler dance and plenty of dancing.

Billy & Rachel’s wedding is sweet (as in sah-weet!) and reason numero uno has got to be Billy and his boys + their awesome H&M attire, closely followed by their tattoos (one of them has a tat that says ‘rock n roll’ for crying out loud!) Quite apart from their killer Groom styling, they all look like they had an absolutle blast and I love that…

Wonderland Wedding

April 24, 2009 | 4 comments

This wedding is so cute I can’t get over it! It is such a magical mystical ‘midsummer night’s dream’ type affair. I want to pretty much let the amazing photographs speak for themselves..but here are a few details I think you’ll like….
The Ring was made with Yellow Diamonds.
The Baby rabbit (in the ring photograph – so sweeeeet!) was someones pet that they had just got from the Ranch where the wedding was held.
Her dress was an amazing vintage style that mimicked the Albino Peacocks that roamed the Ranch.
They had two dogs that they included in the ceremony as ring bearers.

Cute cute cute cute cute…that is all!

A Birthday Treat – From Me To You!

April 7, 2009 | 4 comments

I shouldn’t really be all bloggy on my birthday but I just love you all too much…and I love this wedding too much to wait until tomorrow..I have to get it out there right now!

I found this wedding via Offbeat Bride’s Flickr pool (it’s an amazing resource for finding wicked weddings, but I’m assuming most of you already know that!) Anyway, as soon as I saw this wedding I emailed the Bride, Kelly straight away demanding to be allowed to feature it on here…and she was more than happy for me too…wooohooo!

I’m going to hand right over to Kelly at this point, because in her own words she loves talking about her wedding!
We started planning a very traditional wedding but it never seemed
“right” for us. So my man gave me full control and said “make it feel
like us”. I changed the location to New York City (that’s were we
live) and decided the day would be family only. (Later, we had a
party for friends in New York and both our hometowns)

The day started by taking a black limo to Brooklyn Bridge, to take
pictures. After that, we headed to the court house, downtown
Manhattan to have the civil ceremony. Another black limo took all of
the guests to meet us at the court house. We got married about 1:00
pm on Friday, March 20 in a very short little ceremony. Then we all
headed to Alice’s Tea Cup on 64th where we had rented a room upstairs.
It was so darling!! We had different types of finger sandwiches,
crazy scones, tons of little deserts and unlimited tea. Our cake was
a one-layered yellow cake with buttercream frosting and the grooms
“cake” was really a red velvet cupcake (his favorite). My cake topper
was a vintage 1950’s wedding couple. My favors were vintage tea cups
with little gold bags of loose tea (Wedding Chai) wrapped in pink
tulle and ivory ribbons. By 7:00 pm, my new husband and I were at the
airport to leave on our honeymoon. It was a perfect day!

A highlight: When we stood in front of the court house, right after
the ceremony to take pictures, a NYPD traffic cop took our picture
with her cell phone. Then she looked at it, smiled and said it was
the best wedding she had ever seen!

Now here is good stuff:

Bride: Dress, Betsey Johnson
Headpiece, veil, earrings: ReVamp
Shoes and purse: Prada
Make up: All MAC Cosmetics. (Lip color: Alta Moda and All Nighter
Prolong Wear by MAC–I get asked that a lot)
Rings: Peachtree on Fifth Ave

Maid of Honor: Dress, Betsey Johnson
Hat, bracelets, earrings: ReVamp
Shoes: Christian Dior
Make up: All MAC Cosmetics. (Lip color: Melrose Mood)

Groom: Suit, Tie: Gucci
Cufflinks: Vintage
Ring: Heirloom (Great grandfathers’ ring)

Reception, cake and favors: Alice’s Tea Cup

Flowers: ReVamp

Thank you for letting me share this with you! I am very excited that
people liked what I did, because I was getting a bit of flack from
some friends about not being “traditional”. I only did and wore what
I loved; that is what made my wedding authentic. I would hope to
inspire other brides to ignore the critics and go with their own sense
of style.

Thanks so much for sharing Kelly. You all simply must head over here to check out the rest of her ridiculously gorgeous wedding! (and here for her Vintage, Remade, Re-inspired and Occasionally Sparkly etsy shop!)
