I thought I was a details person…then I met Erika. This woman blows us all away! She came to us with a “woodland soiree meets Fantastic Mr. Fox theme” and we loved it. From finding an up-and-coming artist to custom design the invitations (and the table numbers), to collecting unique whiskey bottles for the cocktail tables, to the playful photo booth that fit the theme, and much, much more, every aspect of Erika and Bill’s wedding was thoughtfully planned and executed to a “t”. Style Me Pretty thought so too. This wedding was all about texture, rich jewel tones, vintage items and whimsical accents.
thanks to Tyra Bleek for all the great photos!
Erika’s requirement for her bouquet was that in be alive with different textures. Seasonal dahlias were combined with ferns, pops of orange ranunculus, various greens and botanicals, as well as curly willow looped throughout. We securely fastened her grandmother’s rings to the wrap with a length of twine for an extra special touch.
Her maids carried gathered bouquets with similar ingredients, as well as one unique element: sunflower centers.
Bill’s bout had a trio of acorns (real, for the record!) and botanicals for a very rustic and textured look.
The littlest attendants were decked out as well. The dapper ring bearer carried a burlap pillow (made by the bride) with a cluster of flowers on top. How adorable are the flower girls with their floral hair wreaths?
Deep red petals blanketed the aisle.
Pomanders of purple mums and trailing wine-colored ribbon marked the ceremony seating.
Following the ceremony, Erika traded her stunning veil in for a whimsical floral hair wreath. Design to sit off-center, a burst of mums and freesia was entwined on a headband of green ivy and delicate pearls strung on gold wire.
A sample of Erika’s collected glassware. Each high top featured a different trio, wood slices and seasonal blooms.
The long dining tables featured a total of nine completely unique centerpieces comprised of vintage rentals from our stores. Each sat on a moss mat as a way to invite the forest into the celebration.
More of our unique rental items could be spotted throughout the event.
Fresh flowers were added to the cake by yours truly. This was one of the amazing table markers I mentioned.
Boston Uplights strung flickering votives above each table and we popped blooms in every other one to bring the color from the table up.
Such a wonderful couple and a unique wedding!
