Designer: Kitty Chen

Why We Love Her:

Any bride looking for a fun and flirty little a-line gown will fall in love with Hermosa by Kitty Chen! Hermosa has a deep v-neck plunge and an unlined bodice topped with large, gorgeous floral lace. Delicate beaded spaghetti straps rest gently on the bride’s shoulders and drape down to the lace, scooped illusion back. The lace pattern is arranged to create a subtle keyhole back look with the illusion of floating buttons! Sequins hidden in the lace draw all eyes to this gorgeous bodice and catch the light with each movement.

The beautiful floral, leafy lace pattern trickles down through the skirt and train. A round cathedral length train trails romantically behind the bride during her walk down the aisle, and the lightweight nature of the gown makes for an extremely easy bustle. The best part about Hermosa is her fun peek-a-boo slit! When standing still, the slit looks like just another pleat in the dress but once the bride starts moving, she gets to show off a little bit of leg and those gorgeous shoes.

She’s Great For:

Hermosa is a great dress for the bride who wants a romantic and modern dress! The floral lace, fun back, and the hidden slit combine to make this gown the perfect amount of class and fun. The sparkle in Hermosa also make her an incredible choice for the bride who wants to shine all night long! 

Hermosa is the perfect gown for any venue. Her elegant shape and gorgeous sparkle would fit right in at a country club wedding while her slit and lightweight nature would be perfect outdoors in a garden, or even at a beach! The unlined illusion bodice allows for airflow so the bride will not overheat, so a Spring or Summer time wedding would be an ideal choice for a gown as perfect as Hermosa.

What Makes Her Special:

Hermosa is a special gown due to the way she is able to seamlessly combine elements of the traditional a-line gown shape with more modern details like the slit and floral lace. She also has a layer of horsehair in the hem that will allow the bride to walk effortlessly as the skirt will be pushed outward by her shoes. Speaking of shoes, the slit in the gown allows the bride to really show them off! Whether they are your something blue or some sparkly sneaks, Hermosa will make sure they have their time to shine, too!

The beading on Hermosa also allows her to be paired with a variety of jewelry. The straps are covered in a clear bead with some pearl detail scattered throughout. The incorporation of these pearls give brides the flexibility to choose between standard diamond jewelry or pearls. This can also be extended to hair accessories like beaded combs or veils with bead, pearl, or both.

Why We Love Her:

Bethany is a knockout fit and flare with all the right details! Her sheer bodice has a slight peek of exposed boning. Plus a plunge that is disguised with lace overlay to add modesty. Her v-neckline is supported with crystal spaghetti straps that gently rest on the shoulder.

This gorgeous gown topped with two gorgeous layers of lace. The top layer is a floral and leaf appliqué with clear sequins adding a touch of shimmer, and the bottom lace layer is a leafy sequin embroidery that adds extra sparkle with every move.

This unique lace pattern continues down the dress to the flared, tulle skirt, where it tapers off but falls into the perfect placements. The back of Bethany is a show-stopper, with a soft v-neckline leading into a row of buttons that cover the zipper and add just the right finishing touch to a gown so pretty. The train is ornamented with the same lace from the bodice and emphasized with glitter tulle that continues to make the dress shine! 

She’s Perfect For:

This gown is perfect for the bride who wants a little bit of everything in her wedding day look! The blend of laces and sparkle complement each other perfectly to give an all over detailed gown without being over the top. The soft blush underlay makes the detail pop a bit more and accents certain color palettes nicely. For the brides who want a more subdued look, Bethany can be ordered in ivory.

The florals in the lace pattern make Bethany the perfect gown for weddings with ceremonies outdoors. This can include gardens, vineyards, barns, and more! These florals will effortlessly blend with a venue that is pristinely landscaped, and will look every better paired with the bride’s bouquet.

What Makes Her Special:

You can tell that Bethany is special just by looking at her! No other gown can combine so much detail while still allowing the gown to be soft and pretty. This dress is also constructed with a stretch material, making her equally as comfortable as she is stunning. Rather than having a structured fit, the gown will softly hug the bride’s shape to enhance her a figure! This is a gown that will flatter brides of all shapes and sizes.

Bethany is also a gown that you can accessorize to your heart’s content. Her chapel length train lends her to be the perfect gown to pair with a cathedral, lace veil! The veil will frame the train as the bride walks down the aisle, and will look beautiful in pictures when styled by the photographer. In lieu of a veil, a floral clip or flower crown would further complement the lace and vine patterns found in the gown itself! There is so much you can do to complete the look with Sophia Tolli‘s Bethany dress!

Why We Love Her:

Zuri is a vision of elegance and glam! This dress seamlessly blends together timeless simplicity with modern, beaded and lace flare. This fit and flare has an incredible and ornate, sheer bodice featuring a vine lace pattern adorned with beads. These shimmery appliques sit atop a layer of Chantilly lace that provides a touch of modesty and dimension to the unlined top. This lace pattern continues up to the shoulder for a fun, asymmetrical spaghetti strap and leads into a low, scooped back.

The lace from the bodice also falls down the sides of the Zuri dress to the the knee in a pattern that helps emphasize the bride’s shape! The simple mikado skirt perfectly balances the ornate detail to ensure that the dress does not overwhelm the bride. A row of buttons begin at the top of the scoop back and trail down to the top of the lace appliqué on the skirt. A stunning, sheer lace train adds the best finishing touch to a gown that has a little bit of everything!

She’s Perfect For: 

Firstly, Zuri is the perfect dress for the bride who is torn between modern and elegant gowns. Not to mention, we often have brides who like styles that seem to contradict each other, but Zuri has the perfect blend of elements to appeal to brides who might want a little bit of everything! Provided that, there are enough details to make her WOW your guests, but not too much that you feel like the dress is wearing you.

It’s safe to say that this dress is the perfect choice for brides with receptions in venues like ballrooms and country clubs! Furthermore, the back of this gown would be a photographer’s dream to pose underneath big chandeliers or on grand staircases. With a bodice that has so much detail and sparkle, she is best seen underneath big lights like those in indoor reception spaces! Ultimately, Zuri is a dream wherever you decide to wear her.

What Makes Her Special:

A unique feature of this gown is the fitted mikado skirt. Typcally, most dresses of this shape are made of crepe, which is a thinner and stretchier fabric. Having a thicker material like mikado can be beneficial for brides who love the look of crepe gowns but do not like the way it clings to the body. Overall, mikado is a fabric that has a bit more structure to it and holds its shape better than crepe can!

Additional Features:

One other fun part about Zuri is that you can order its detachable train! Essentially, this train hooks into the sides of the gown and gives a two-in-one look. Brides looking for a dress that can give them two separate looks will love the idea of being able to have essentially a ballgown for the ceremony and then taking it off to reveal the fit and flare style for their reception.

Overall, having the option to customize the look appeals to many brides, but some opt to keep Zuri the way she is without the train. Whatever your vision is, Zuri by Sophia Tolli can achieve it!

This charming, modernly rustic venue is tucked away on a quiet road surrounded by acres of picturesque landscape. The Farm is owned by Chris and Becca Lynde, who also got married and reside on the property. 

The Seed Barn was built in the 1820’s, and was rebuilt by an Amish Crew in 2016. It is 2000 square feet and can host up to 200 guests. That same year, they opened up The Farm Bakery and began selling delicious treats made with locally sourced ingredients! 

While weddings are a huge part of their business, The Farm also hosts rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, baby showers, concerts, workshops, and more. There is ample parking and the entire venue is handicap accessible. Not to mention, the owners and staff at The Farm Bakery & Events are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

The Tour:

Upon turning into the large parking lot, you are immediately greeted with the sweetest and most inviting details – the welcome sign, the outdoor seating areas, and The Flour Cart (that some couples choose to serve welcome drinks from). 

Harvest Barn

We began our tour in the Harvest Barn. This gorgeous, rustic chic space has a high ceiling with walls of French doors that overlook their pristinely landscaped fields. Natural light fills the room and makes this the perfect space for smaller events! The second floor of this space holds freshly upgraded guest bathrooms, and hidden around the corner is the bridal suite.

This space is immaculate and has everything a bride and her crew could ever need to get ready. A wall of mirrors and vanities (with plenty of outlets) for hair and make up, a large bathroom, hooks to hang dresses, multiple seating areas, and even a coffee bar! The room also has a row of large windows to provide natural light and gives the bride a sneak peek of her guests arriving.

Outdoor Ceremony Space

Outside of the French doors, you are led down a path toward the Seed Barn and the outdoor ceremony space. Following that, a wooden arch stands at the end of the aisle surrounded by trees with Edison string lights strewn above. This dreamy ceremony space can be decorated as desired, but remains perfect as is!

After the ceremony, guests are seamlessly transitioned over to cocktail hour underneath the deck of the Seed Barn! Finally, guests can relax in the shade or explore the offerings of the property without having to trek far at all.

The Groom’s Suite

In this area under the deck, you find an unsuspecting barn door, but what lies behind that door is the groom’s suite! This space has a spacious seating area, a bathroom, a pool table, a tv, bar seating, a mini fridge, and a Keurig to help keep all the anxious jitters away before the ceremony. This suite keeps all of your guys close by so that there is no scrambling to find everyone before showtime!

After we toured the groom’s suite, we were taken to the main event: The Seed Barn. We walked up the stone path toward the large barn doors, and once they slid open, we walked into the most intimate and cozy reception space! Straight ahead sat the sweetheart table and rows of long tables were set up on both sides, leaving the perfect space for dancing in the center of the barn. More Edison lights are draped across the rafters that work to enhance the romantic ambiance!

The Seed Barn at Farm Bakery

Behind the sweetheart table is another set of doors that lead out to the deck that overlooks the ceremony space, the optional fire pit (with s’mores!), and the rest of the idyllic property. Tents can be put on the deck to accommodate a higher guest count, or this space can be used for guests to relax by heaters in the Fall or cool off in the Summer! 

Wedding Customizations

One aspect of The Farm that couples will love is their ability to customize their event to their own tastes! You are free to decorate however you wish, choose vendors that best align with your vision, and even choose add ons from the Farm like the fire pit, s’mores bar, and tractor rides. The venue even provides tables, chairs, set-up and breakdown, and day of coordination as part of the package booking your wedding with them! All in all, The Farm will check all of the boxes.

Lastly, for more information on availability or to schedule a tour of the Farm Bakery & Events venue, contact Becca here!

Designer: Kitty Chen Couture

Why We Love Her:

When it comes to detail, Kitty Chen never misses! To say the least, Jeanette truly has it all. From the illusion lace in the bodice to the petaled train, she is fabulous head to toe. Starting at the top, she has a modest, traditional, rounded sweetheart neckline, featuring a slight modern plunge that is the perfect transition into her unlined bodice. This bodice shows the corset boning, and makes the bodice a stunning focal point of the dress.

Dress Detailing

Jeanette’s detail is like a gift that keeps on giving! In her airy a-line skirt, Jeanette has a sexy thigh high slit. This feature allows the bride to get creative with her choice of footwear and show them off all day long. Within her skirt, her floral appliques from the bodice cascades down the top half of the skirt; meanwhile, those same appliques line the hem at the bottom. Beneath that glamorous applique and beadwork, she has a layer of large flowered tulle that is outlined in glitter. This adds to the spontaneous glam of this dress while also creating a glorious dimension of detail and sparkle.

Moving to the back, Jeanette has an illusion mesh back with zipper closure and button additions! While these buttons may stop at the waistline, her train extends downward into a magnificent cathedral length train that is cut into a fun petal shape! Her train is a STATEMENT by herself! It will flow perfectly behind the bride as she walks down the aisle, and due to her lightweight material, her bustle will be perfect for a bride that loves to dance!

This gorgeous wedding dress is available in two gorgeous colors: all ivory and ivory/khaki/toffee. This variation will change the underlayer liner from a bright ivory to a muted nude color, allowing the lace and sparkle to POP!!!

She’s Great For:

Jeanette is great for a spring or summer wedding when the weather is sunny and hot! Jeanette’s sparkle will glow in pictures! And the best part is that the bride will not have to worry about getting overheated due to the lightweight material and sexy slit that is in the skirt. The large floral underlay and floral appliques on top are the perfect finishing touch in any rustic barn or outside garden venue. Bride’s will fall in love with her versatile features.

What Makes Her Special:

What makes her special is her alter ego Jeanette Gwen! With the addition of flowy puffed sleeves (named Gwen), the look gets transformed into a whimsical fairy tale vibe. These sleeves are flirty, romantic, and fun. They are detachable wrap around sleeves with a ruched tulle layer that lays seamlessly across the front bodice. Just when you think it cannot get any better, each sleeve is covered with the same lace appliques as the dress, emphasizing and accentuating the detail even more!

Let’s talk about favors. Whether it’s bridal or baby showers, engagement or wedding party favors, a favor is how we thank guests for sharing their time with us. This tradition goes back to the 17th century where guests would receive small boxes filled with sugary treats and candies. Some cultures consider favors as a symbol of good luck, fertility, wealth, and happiness. Today, the tradition continues and the options are almost limitless.

In this blog, we offer some of the most unique and best wedding favor ideas tour guests will love to receive at your wedding reception.

Are wedding favors still in? Absolutely!

Wedding favors are a fun way to show your guests appreciation for their attendance on your special day. Some are absolutely Pinterest-worthy. When it comes to your favors, do not simply give generic, small items that will be placed unused in a drawer, or worse, left on the tables at the end of the night.

There are some fabulous wedding favors now that will be very much appreciated. Those with a special meaning, with thought and intention given to them, are the perfect favors.

If you are a gift giver and want to lavish your guests with a favor they will love, we have some useful gifts (and affordable) wedding favor ideas that will not simply be left on the table at the end of the night.

Welcome Bags

Welcome wedding favor bags are a great idea and a very personal touch for your guests, especially if you are having a destination wedding. If you have guests that are coming from a distance, and or staying overnight, this is a very nice gesture. 

Included are essentials like water bottles, hand sanitizers with custom labels, ibuprofen, and mints. If your wedding is on an island, think tote bags with coconut water, sunblock, aloe, hand fans, beach towel, or a hat. Hotels will provide toiletry essentials, however who doesn’t love some pampering with luxe products?!

Consider offering destination wedding favors like a pretty basket with hand towels (your colors, of course!), soothing shower steamers, lotions and oils, lip balm, face masks, and artisanal soaps. These are practical wedding favors that your guests will love and appreciate.

If you are having a local outdoor wedding, consider offering umbrellas as a sunshade (or the perfect gift if it’s raining). This is a practical favor that can be used over and over again! Useful wedding favors are always appreciated.

Personalized Gifts

Personalized items are unique and fun! Trending now are personalized matchboxes, wildflower seed packets, and soaps, but let’s not forget options like mini champagne bottles, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate with your own custom label message.

Other ideas include a deck of playing cards, puzzle, luggage tags, or even temporary tattoos! These can be personalized with your wedding theme, initials, or even customized for each guest for the ultimate personalized touch.

Another great way to have personal favors is to have a photo booth. Guests can take pictures all night and capture the memories of the good time had by all! This is an easy way to give your guests some extra fun and less stress on you making sure to have a gift for each individual attendee.

Succulents or Mini Potted Plants

Succulents or mini potted plants are a unique and eco-friendly wedding favor idea that your guests will love. These plants are easy to care for and make for great decorations for any home or office. You can tie in your wedding colors in the pots, containers, ribbon, or tags. Be creative with your theme, for instance a rustic burlap container for a rustic country wedding or a clear container with small shells for a beach wedding. Also consider a packet of seeds they can plant and grow at home; a sweet way remember your day!

Customized Candles

Customized candles are very elegant wedding favors. You can choose from a variety of scents, like one from your wedding bouquet or wedding month flower, and have them customized with names and wedding date. Candles are also a practical gift and a great idea for those who don’t want to break the wedding budget yet make a lasting impression.

Candles are that special touch to incorporate your a little part of your special day into a lasting memory for your guests.

Local or Artisanal Edible Gifts

Some of our favorite wedding favor ideas are when you shop local! If you want to showcase the best of your local area or hometown, local or artisanal food items are the perfect way to do it! Popular choices are gourmet popcorn, artisanal cheeses, olive oil, honey or maple syrup, and small-batch jams and jellies. Local bakers can make custom cookies with your favorite flavors, individually wrapped which is a very unique touch. 

What is your state or city known for? Show it off! Maybe some Philly soft pretzels when it’s a Philly thing!  Edible wedding favors and sweet treats are not only delicious but also support local businesses. Sports themed favors can be very popular wedding favors! Think of what your city or hometown is known for and wow everyone.

Beverage Wedding Favors

For guests who love to indulge in their favorite libations, miniature bottles of alcohol make for fun and unique small keepsakes. You can choose from a variety of spirits and have them customized with your names and wedding date. If you are having a signature drink, offer mini bottles with the alcohol ingredients and recipe to make one at home (see DIY below!). 

For a modern affair or more intimate wedding, a bottle of wine (to include a custom label with a special message of course!) with wine glasses would be a great option. A bottle of your favorite spirit paired with personalized shot glasses, stemless wine glasses, or bottle openers can be used long after the bottle is empty.

DIY Kit Wedding Favor Ideas

If you’re feeling crafty, consider putting together DIY kits as wedding favors. This could include things like a DIY cocktail kit (like mentioned above!), a make-your-own-s’mores kit, or even a soap-making kit. If your big day is near or on a holiday, holiday gifts like a DIY Christmas ornament, Halloween cookie cutters with a dough recipe, Fourth of July sparkler packs, ceramic lucky 4-leaf clover coasters to paint near St. Patrick’s Day, etc.! Unique gifts like these give your guests a fun activity to enjoy after the wedding.

Unique wedding favors are a great way to provide your guests with a small token of appreciation for sharing your wedding day with you. The best wedding favors are the ones you put thought into! There are many creative ways to offer a small gift to top off your memorable wedding. Start by thinking about the theme of your wedding and stay consistent with that. If you can’t think of anything, ChatGPT is always there to help you! Don’t forget about AI wedding planning tools!

Originally constructed in 1820, it was redesigned and expanded by Margaret Spencer, one of the first female architects in the United States, in 1927.

In 2000, the barn was reconstructed into six luxury suites with amenities including gas fireplaces, modern bathrooms and kitchenettes, while maintaining the historic charm of a centuries-old property.

This B&B is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. The first thing I noticed was the peaceful feeling on 8.5 acres of beautiful landscaping, mature trees, and stone walkways. It immediately felt like a calming retreat.

The Tour: Chimney Hill Estate

Firstly, this venue started with the barn suites. Fully renovated and each as beautifully appointed as the next. Some even have spiral staircases! Bright, welcoming, and calming, it certainly would be difficult to choose which room!

Moving to the main house rooms, the choice is just as difficult! From the first floor to the third, there will be a room that calls to you. I love historic properties and the quirkiness of their design, including all of the nooks and crannies, lean-tos, wood beams and floors, but coupled with modern upgrades like the stainless appliances, brand new bathrooms, and granite countertops it becomes the best of both worlds.

Ultimately, this is the perfect room to relax and unwind with an afternoon cocktail or a pre-dinner drink in any season, but I picture myself here with a hot chocolate in the snowfall. That would be nothing short of magical:

Chimney Hill Estate Bed & Breakfast

Of course, we cannot forget the breakfast part of a Bed and Breakfast! After a fitful night sleep, continue your relaxing weekend by starting your day with a delicious morning meal here:

This property offers so much more than just a bed-and-breakfast. They have anniversary packages, specials for Mother’s Day, even a sweet area for a marriage proposal or vow renewal and picnic after.

The best part is that they are now able to host weddings up to 100 people! Have the best day ever speaking your vows outside in any season with a reception celebration either indoor, outdoor, or both!

Overall, there are always events being held (like wine and cheese parties, a favorite!) and so many nearby attractions, Chimney Hill Estate is a venue with many lovely and unexpected surprises. This is a great idea as a gift for a couple, a weekend getaway, a birthday, anniversary, or graduation celebration, and can now even host weddings! Definitely worth checking out for yourself. For more information, visit their website!

Designer: Morilee 

Why We Love Her:

Jennifer is a dress that everyone will fall in love with! She’s cute, flirty, and romantic. She has an airy natural A-line silhouette that will perfectly flatter and flow with the bride as she moves. Her bodice consists of a unlined illusion lace with slight boning for structure and support. She has a V shaped neckline with a small keyhole cutout in the neckline where the lace stops, making the dress slightly scandalous.

On top of the bodice, Jennifer has a beautiful floral and vine lace that gradually cascades down into her skirt and up slightly into the beaded strap. This strap is the perfect transition into the low cut scoop back, and the beads are the perfect touch for emphasizing the beading that is on top of the lace as well. 

Jennifer’s back is a showstopping feature of this dress for sure! The beaded straps lead to a gorgeous illusion scoop back with a flirtatious low back keyhole. The detail never stops. Similarly to the front, the lace appliques cascade midway down the skirt. Her train is every bride’s dream. It is light, airy, and the tulle perfectly flows as the bride walks. When bustled, the bottom lace will line up with the bodice lacing, creating a seamless blend.

She is available in two different color options: ivory/porcelain and ivory/champagne/honey. Although there is a slight difference between the two, the champagne dress will show off the lace better and blend with a bride’s skin tone more! This gives the bride some flexibility when matching her bridal party colors as well as steering away from the traditional white bridal look.

She’s Great For:

Morilee‘s Jennifer is great for spring and summer weddings that are filled with lots of greenery and blooming flowers. Her earthy vibes will flourish in an outdoor garden venue or country clubs with lots of open space and sunshine. And the best part is that she is lightweight, so the bride can stay comfortable despite the hottest heat that the summer may bring! 

What Makes Her Special:

Jennifer’s keyhole feature in the front and back of the dress is what sets her apart from every other dress. It is a modern twist on a classic style dress that brides will LOVE! The double keyhole makes the dress cohesive, unique, and fun. Guests will be stunned and everyone will without a doubt fall in love!

The Beginning: 

As Mrs. Potts says “Love doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be true.” I’ve always lived dreaming of a Disney fairy tale. 

Jeremy and I met and it was very easy to love him. So caring, genuine, loving and a true fairy tale. When we first met, he ended up taking a job offer and moving 3 hours away. We did long distance for a while, and within the year of meeting him I took a risk and moved to be with him. Two months after I moved, we went on a spontaneous weekend trip to New Orleans. And that weekend, he proposed! With my dream ring! Complete shock! 

The Pre-Planning Details:

After a few weeks of getting engaged, I called my parents and asked them the bigger question. Are we really going to do this? Their answer: Lets do it! All I could think of was “wow I’m going to get married in Disney!” I grew up going to Disney multiple times a year and since I was 8 years old, I said I was going to get married in Disney one day. And now this day is finally in the works! 

The Dress:

When it was time to start looking at dresses, I knew I wanted a tight mermaid style dress. Darianna Bridal & Tuxedo was the very first store we went to and my mom kept telling me, “You are getting married in Disney, you need a ballgown!” Just to please her, I tried on a ballgown first to get it out of the way. However, that very first dress I tried on I compared to every other dress at every other bridal store we went to. I knew that was the one and we went back to Darianna and I said Yes to my dress, a big ballgown by Kitty Chen with a gorgeous long train and a lot of glitter and sparkle! 

The Pre-Wedding Parties: 

In the middle of planning, my mom and bridal party threw me the most fabulous bridal shower and of course it was Disney themed! 

We did a bachelorette party in the Finger Lakes and it was an amazing weekend with my girls. Wine, shopping, food and lots of pictures and laughter!

The wedding was a full weekend event! First, I had my welcome party as an Epcot dessert party. We rented out Germany in Epcot and had food, drinks, dancing and fireworks!

I did end up wearing a second wedding gown that night specifically for the pictures! And it was a tight straight dress I also got at Darianna! So I got the best of both worlds when it comes to dresses! We ended the Epcot party with a private group ride on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. 

The next day we had ceremony rehearsal and we did a monorail bar crawl. We hopped on and off the monorail at the resort bars. More of a low key night!

The Day Of:

The next day was wedding day. My ceremony was at Disney’s Wedding Pavilion. It’s been my dream since 8 years old. Classic, timeless and Cinderella’s castle in the background.

We used all Disney songs during the ceremony and even had the Fairy Godmother as the officiant! We had the ceremony live streamed, because my grandmother was not well enough to make the trip from PA to FL. As we walked out of our ceremony, Cinderella’s carriage was waiting to take us to the cocktail hour and reception. The cocktail hour was under the fireworks, with unlimited food and drinks. 

The reception was a dream come true. We had our reception at Disney’s Grand Floridian resort. Disney movie themed tables, storybook seating chart, and a Photo Booth were some of my reception elements. Mickey and Minnie showed up the reception and surprised all of our guests on the dance floor for pictures and dancing.

Jeremy and my parents surprised me with the Beast showing up for a private dance. That was the highlight of my reception and the only time I cried the entire weekend! My reception was a dream come true. 

The next morning we did a Farewell Brunch for all of our guests at Disney’s Boardwalk resort. On the boardwalk and overlooking the lake, we had a buffet brunch, complete with mickey waffles. My fave!

The whole weekend was so magical, an absolute dream come true. But more importantly than having my dream wedding, I found my true soulmate.

Blush and Ivory

This color combination creates a soft and timeless look. Blush and and ivory are gorgeous together and create one of the dreamiest and romantic combinations there is, and paired with some natural floral greens, it doesn’t get much prettier. This warm pallet is breath taking against an ivory wedding dress.

Pale Pink and Gold

This color palette adds a touch of opulence and luxury to a blush and pink wedding pallet. When paired with gold accents, such as gold foil invitations and thick gold candle holders and center pieces, the effect is stunning. This is a perfect choice for a vintage Victorian flair.

Blush and Rose Gold

Rose gold is a trendy metallic color that pairs beautifully with blush tones and adds a touch of modernity and sophistication to the palette, making it a perfect choice for a chic and contemporary wedding. Use these pinks in your wedding cake and glass wear.

Blush and Mint

This color palette combines the sweetness of blush and pink with he freshness of mint. It’s a lovely choice for a spring or summer wedding and can be incorporated into various elements, such as jewelry and your signature cocktail.

Pink and Coral

This color combination adds vibrancy! Coral is a brighter shade that creates a cheerful and playful ambiance when paired with pinks, perfect for an Alice In Wonderland themed reception against black or a tropical beach celebration. Flowers and fruits (think tangerine and pink grapefruit!) are the perfect pops for these colors against pale hues.

Blush and Lilac

This color palette creates a dreamy and romantic atmosphere with its soft and muted tones. Lilacs and lavenders complement blush beautifully, and together, they create a serene and ethereal ambiance. Combine beautifully in wedding cake details and don’t forget your guys – let them look sharp and coordinate, too!

Remember to experiment with different shades and tones of blushes and pinks to find the perfect combination that matches your wedding theme and personal style. Consider using these colors in your floral arrangements, bridesmaid dresses, accessories, table scapes, invitations, desserts and favors to create a cohesive and stunning pink wedding color palette.
