Today I’m so excited to be sharing one of my favorite parts of my wedding with you, my aisle style! In case you missed it I previously posted about our flowers and invitations.
I started thinking about my wedding look pretty much the moment we got engaged. I already had an idea of a style of dress I wanted, thanks to a picture I saw of a backless dress on Pinterest. That image stuck with me and luckily I was able to track down the designer and visit her showroom in downtown LA!
Happy Tuesday! Like I mentioned last week I’m excited to share more of our wedding here on the blog. It took me a few months to really go through the pictures (there are so many!) and decide where I wanted to share them. In the end I decided I wanted them here and will be breaking them up into several posts to help show more behind the whole day.
Today I’m going over some of my favorite details; the flowers and special touches. I worked with a florist to come up with the vision which included the ombre petal aisle, bouquets and boutonnieres, chuppah flowers, centerpieces and even floral garlands for my flower girl neices and Macallan (our ring beareress). We went with blush and white flowers to stick with the color pallet I was going for.
I’m exciting to start sharing pieces of our wedding with you all! First up I wanted to tackle stationary; invitations, place cards, etc. They’re such an important part of the big day and there are countless options. It can really be overwhelming.
Minted is one of my favorite resources if you’re looking for templates where you can still add personal touches. I ordered our escort and place cards from them and loved them. I scoured the site for wedding invites and loved several of the templates but ended up going a different way when it came time to make the decision.
This past weekend was a dream. We got married Saturday! It was absolutely perfect and I’ll share photos from that soon, but first I wanted to post about our rehearsal dinner. Jeff’s parents planned the most beautiful dinner for our family and wedding party the night before we said “I Do”. Complete with flower arrangements with live goldfish, personalized wine bottles with our baby pics and our yummy signature cocktail, the night was a blast. Of course it was only topped by the touching speeches by our close friends. We are so lucky!
In case you haven’t heard me mention it 322 times since getting engaged 10 months ago, I’m getting married – TOMORROW!
I hope you’ll excuse my absence for a bit while we enjoy celebrating. If you’d like to follow along make sure to follow me on instagram @ashnfashn and check out our wedding hashtag #thejackelwedding
Wish us luck!
I thought I had a handle on all the wedding planning and then we got to the one month mark. Suddenly all kinds of new details were creeping up and we had more decisions to make. I’m almost to the point, scratch that, I am to the point where if I have to make one more decision I will lose my mind.
BHLDN has been my savior for the last minute touches. I keep remembering something I’ve forgotten and gone to the site to purchase it. The last thing was a card holder – I found this one and love it. After the wedding I can use it as a jewelry box. Win win!
