Swooning something serious for all of the fabulous Galentine's Day inspired soirées you're starting to see pop up? We sure do hope so! Because today we're just bursting at the seams to show you more! And we have Jack & Grace Events, Kate & Co. Events, and Fani Flowers to thank!

Because seriously? Why not take a little time to celebrate all the ladies in your life? And why not do it over a fabulously festive Galentine’s Day Brunch like this one? Captured beautifully by Shaina Lee Photography, get ready for gorgeous m'dears, because this sweet shoot is that and then some!

From the Jack & Grace Events, "For this styled shoot, we teamed up with some of our industry favorites to help bring our vision to reality. For colors, we chose the prettiest of shades fo pink to highlight Valentine’s Day in a feminine way and accented it with touches of gold."

"Our goal was to create something bright, bold, and playful with a little sparkle thrown in."

"A few highlights from the table included gold polka dot napkins, vintage candlestick holders, and custom belly band place cards designed by Crafted by Anamarie."

"In addition to our beautiful table setting, we created a dessert bar with all the sweets a girl could dream of."

"The high top bar was set with tasty pink macarons, freshly glazed donuts and a beautiful ombre pink cake filled with raspberry cream. Dessert? Yes, please!" "In addition to all of that, we added touches of whimsy with bright, beautiful balloons." "And for place settings, we incorporated gold flatware and a mix of floral arrangements." We told you guys this shoot was a beauty. Are we right? Or are we right? Taper candles added so much ambiance.... and we're simply smitten with this festive setup. Whoever said you couldn't use bold color in a gorgeous way was seriously mistaken! ...and who could resist a menu like this one? These vivid colors were perfectly balanced with lots of clean white objects. Macaron, anyone? We'll take three. Okay, maybe four!

Now we hope you'll excuse us, because we just have to pin all of this pretty! Because what's not to love about this fun, whimsy-filled approach to event design? Plus anything that involves brunch is always a huge plus in our book.

Oh, and can we just pause for a second to appreciate these bold, beautiful colors? Make no mistake about it — we're in love!

Perfectly Pink Galentine's Brides Date

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 13:15:00 +0000

In season 4 of the hit show Friends, Monica, Phoebe and Rachel dress up in wedding dresses to help cheer Rachel up after a bad day. The best thing about a best friend? That's the fact that they will always make you laugh, and lift you up when you are feeling down.

They are there for you always, including on your wedding day to spoil you, dance with you, fix your dress. But who says that a wedding is the only time a bride should wear their wedding dress? And who says that Valentines Day is only about two people in love? This idea sparked an idea for a 'Perfectly Pink Galentine's Brides Date!' Three best friends, three weddings gown and a day full of fun!

From stylist and photographer Ryann Lindsey Photography, "The ladies work three beautiful gowns from J Bridal Boutique, complimented with stunning floral including peonies, ranunculus and roses to name a few from the talented Hoot & Holler."

"The day began with some pampering including makeup, rose and some delicious cake from Amour De Sucre."

"The next stop was to the stylish Ruze Cakehouse. What galentine’s date would be complete without Strawberry boba lemonades, boba chai and cookies and macarons. The ladies stole the show as they walked down the streets of old town Scottsdale."

Emerald Green Inspired Bridal Inspo

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 14:35:00 +0000

Inspired by the vision for a monochromatic color palette, Casey Crowe Taylor and Elizabeth Carberry dreamt up this bold and elegant bridal shoot featuring the rich and regal color of emerald green.

The idea was to mix a more simple, white, contemporary backdrop and bring the outdoors in with lush greens. Fathom Gallery proved to be the perfect backdrop for this concept with its original, painted, white brick and hardwood flooring to compliment the palette.

Every detail down to the invitation suite by Alchemy Calligraphy, was to include the emerald rock and regal green and gold palette. Plus the stone of her finger from Shah & Shah Jewelers was a show stopper.

The vision for the bridal gown was a more unique silhouette with a traditional lace fabric from the Bridal Room that just melted off the shoulders of this bride to show off her floral hair pin from Rocking Bird Flower Co. and gorgeous flowing locks from Tamar C. Makeup. The tablescape was that perfect balance of contemporary and traditional elements with rentals from White Glove Rentals and the elements of Fathom Gallery.

And bringing it all to life was the flowing bouquet and tables cape details by Rocking Bird Flower Co. to compliment Elizabeth Carberry's greenery wall.

Boho Wedding Vibes at Magnolia Estate in Dayton Ohio

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 03:10:00 +0000

Hosted by Cassidy Alane Photography and Kourtney Fossaluzza Photography, today's styled wedding shoot is filled to the brim with all the best bohemian vibes. From the warm colors seen in the floral design to the stunning stationery, make no mistake about it — we are full blown swooning over here.

From the photographer Cassidy Alane Photography, "Inspired by the beautiful Autumn colors surrounding us in Ohio, we wanted to show off a little of its beauty at Magnolia Estate. The time of day that we shot these photos was golden hour — which means we shot these portraits right at sunset to achieve that dreamy golden glow."

"With a palette consisting of a beautiful terra-cotta orange, mustard yellow, and green, I had a vision in mind for the arbor: a triangle. In our area, it's not something we see often. Lost and Found Rentals worked their magic and came up with a beautiful triangular arbor."

"Floral V Designs simply added to the beauty of it with their drop dead gorgeous floral addition! In addition, they absolutely knocked the bouquet and table centerpiece out of the park."

"It was more than we had and mind, and fit our vision perfectly! Ivory House Creative went off our color palette and blew our minds with her talent."

Her stationery designs went along with our florals marvelously! Our flat lay styling mat was created by Elysian Market, who works intimately with all of her clients to create the most inspiring piece to pair with our stationery."

"The sofa was provided by Lost and Found Rentals with the tablescape and fabric by Kosins. Two of my favorite rental places!"

"The venue itself is gorgeous all year around. In the summertime there's beautiful greens and in the fall the trees turn all sorts of colors! They recently renovated their reception hall with elegant white draping and a magnolia brick wall to pair with it."

"Bochic Bridal Boutique provided the most breathtaking dress for Shelby to wear."

"Carla from Alea Beauty had us dreamland with Shelby's hair and makeup. Her husband David was amazing with going along with the flow and anyone could tell how in love they are."

A Celebration of Romance and Floral Splendor

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 21:42:00 +0000

Happy Tuesday, m'dears! Today we're excited to share with you a love story that was made for the story books! With florals from Tanarah Luxe Floral and planning by Shingleur Events, photographer Lela & Lyla captured so many magical moments from Grace and Tyler's beautiful wedding day.

From the team, "Love stories that begin in high school often have a special kind of magic, and Grace and Tyler's journey from rivals to soulmates is no exception. We had the pleasure of chatting with Grace, the beautiful bride, as she shared the details of their wedding day at the stunning Venue at Oakdale in Arkansas."

How They Met

Grace and Tyler's paths crossed during their junior year of high school. Despite attending rival schools, fate intervened when Grace's cousin introduced them. From that moment, their connection blossomed, leading them on an incredible journey together.

The Proposal

Tyler planned a surprise proposal for Grace while she was unknowingly planning a surprise birthday trip for him. Their families collaborated to keep the secret, and when the day arrived, Tyler proposed at Klyde Warren Park in Dallas, Texas. The "Marry Me" light-up letters added a magical touch to the already unforgettable moment. Having their parents present made the occasion even more special.

The Wedding Day

Grace envisioned a wedding day filled with vibrant florals as the centerpiece of the design. She wanted a combination of bright white, bright citrus/summer colors, and a romantic candlelight ambiance. The decor featured fabulous floral print napkins and a vinyl dance floor mirroring the floral design. The couple created a romantic mood with candlelight and a magnificent hanging floral installation.

Floral Design Inspiration

The floral design played a central role in Grace's vision for her wedding day. Her talented wedding planners, Kathryn and Lance Shingleur of Shingleur Events, introduced a curved aisle during the planning process, adding a unique touch to the ceremony.

Bursting with vibrant blooms along the floor, the Tanarah Luxe Floral team created a curved aisle transformed the chapel into a luxurious garden. The disappearing arch piece on the stage, complete with cascading flowers, provided a breathtaking focal point.

A Stunning Wedding Cake

Grace's vision for her wedding cake was simplicity, complemented by an ombre cascade of flowers flowing from top to bottom and cake designer Michelle Mayer delivered and then some.

The size of the cake was kept relatively small, but there was plenty of cake in the kitchen for the catering service to cut and serve to the guests. The result was a gorgeous masterpiece that perfectly matched the overall design aesthetic.

Delightful Cuisine

Embracing a Mexican flavor vibe, Grace and Tyler treated their guests to a mouthwatering culinary experience from Vibrant Occasions Catering. Hors d’Oeuvres included Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms, Saucy Asian Meatballs, Honey Chipotle BBQ Chicken Picks, and Spinach Artichoke Crostini.

For the main course, they offered Pork Carnitas Tacos, Shredded Brisket Tacos, Pollo Asado Tacos, Mexican Street Corn, Cilantro Lime Rice, Salsa, and the ever-popular Cheese Dip with chips.

Unforgettable Moments

One of the most memorable highlights of the day was the fun and choreographed daddy-daughter dance that Grace and her father had been practicing for months. Their laughter-filled rehearsals created an intimate bond and became one of the couple's favorite parts of the wedding. It was a moment that touched the hearts of everyone present.

A Dreamy Honeymoon

Grace and Tyler embarked on a romantic honeymoon at the Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Resort in Cabo, a special gift from Grace's grandfather. They enjoyed relaxation, indulged in delicious food, and cherished each other's company after the whirlwind of wedding preparations. The highlight of their trip was a breathtaking sunset cruise on a catamaran, creating memories to last a lifetime.

Grace and Tyler's wedding day was a true reflection of their love story. From their high school beginnings to a dreamy wedding celebration surrounded by vibrant florals, their journey is a testament to the power of young love. May their life together be filled with endless joy, laughter, and many more unforgettable adventures.

Bridal Inspiration with a Must-See Pink Bouquet

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 03:26:00 +0000

Right off the bat, we were instantly floored by the crisp, romantic, dreaminess of this shoot. (Perfect for Valentine's Day, right?) This is what bridal session dreams are made of, thanks to so many lovely elements blending together as one.

To start, you have Kate Elizabeth Photography capturing all of the fantastic details like that garland of greenery draped on the wall from Blush and Vine. Or how about that bouquet! It is a pink rainbow with shades ranging from the daintiest blush to a more bold, bright pink. Paired with the jade green table settings and that drop-dead gorgeous dress, this bridal session inspo has us giving two thumbs up. We wish we had more thumbs, you guys!

From the photographer, "We wanted to create something very pink and romantic! Blush and Vine designed a rope like affect with the greenery, which we thought was so unique with the all white setting. We also added a touch of jade with the place settings from World Market that complimented the pinks so nicely!"

A Southern Swoonfest at Serenbe

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 15:54:00 +0000

Oh my goodness, you guys! I can't tell you how excited I am to be sharing this sweet little styled shoot that I designed in collaboration with some of my favorite Georgia wedding pros. It's a Southern Swoonfest like none other with floral design by Forage and Flower and event design, concept and styling by yours truly.

Picture a romantic farm setting, texture galore and a dreamy palette of berry tones mixed in with personalized touches that we created in collaboration with The Paper Perfectionist and our amazing Cricut Explore Air™. Prepare to be swept off your feet, y'all! Because these stunning captures by Alexis June Weddings are sure to make you swoon. So without further ado, let's take a look. Shall we?

The Inn at Serenbe proved to be the loveliest locale to bring our vision to life.

...and it was made even lovelier with gorgeous rental furniture by Crush Event Design.

We got creative and designed some sweet signage for the back of the chairs using our Cricut... One of the signs said "I belong with you," and the other said, "you belong with me." Bridal beauty was so on point thanks to Elizabeth Sloan Beauty... ...and we had the best time crafting these custom details with Valerie over at The Paper Perfectionist! We used our Cricut Explore Air™ to cut out details like this elegant meets rustic table number... And how pretty are these detail shots featuring vintage china from Vintage English Teacup? One of my favorite details were the pears that we personalized using vinyl and the Cricut. They made the prettiest place cards, wouldn't you agree? And of course we made sure to craft a custom invitation suite to compliment the entire palette complete with response card and a custom envelope liner. Favors were peach preserves (very fitting for this Georgia farm setting) and we attached a custom "thank you" tag with a little bit of twine. Another great detail were these 'his and her' vow books that we dreamt up with The Paper Perfectionist. Oh, and can we just pause for a second to take in all of this beauty? And this wedding gown by Celia Grace? So perfectly Southern and romantic in every way. A gorgeous engagement ring and drops earrings by Susie Saltzman Jewelry completed our bride's look. And how picturesque is this dreamy scene? Forage and Flower did an amazing job with the florals that were sent to us by Fifty Flowers and we just love the fact that they incorporated so many of our favorites! Succulents, garden roses, protea and air plants. Oh my! And these bridal beauties? Swoon. We set up a decadent dessert bar which featured all kinds of yummies by Sweet Creations by Candi... ...and how gorgeous is she? Also we're absolutely smitten with the way that our bridesmaid rocked this blush Celia Grace gown with its ruffled train. Oh, and did someone mention dessert? Don't mind if I do! The menu consisted of mini baked donuts, french macarons, and chocolate mousse cups. ...and we just love this darling little "sweet treats" signage. The cake designed by Sweet Creations by Candi was an absolute showstopper! And we just love the protea that we're seeing here in the florals and the way that its working so nicely with this hydrangea. Always one to embrace color, I can't go without mentioning my absolute obsession with the collection over at Vintage English Teacup! We even whipped up a cute little "love" cake topper with the Cricut! Macaron, anyone? Yes, please! We'll take two. The Inn at Serenbe was idyllic, serene, and so absolutely charming. And we had the loveliest time with these two! We also created this custom, "and so the adventure beings," welcome bag with our Cricut which ended up being a really sweet touch.... Wouldn't you agree? Beauty could be discovered around each and every corner. And these bouquets? Hello, gorgeous! Because how lovely are the confetti details and the marbling on this cake? I'm telling you! This cake was a little masterpiece of its own. Vintage china and darling desserts? Yes, please! Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe it all. In addition to the reception table and the dessert cart... ... we also designed a cocktail lounge area that was set up in the Oak Room. ...its stunning hardwood florals, white walls, and dramatic chandelier made it the perfect place to celebrate!

We had Mixologist Lyght House Cocktails pop on by to craft us some sweet sips.... And Forage and Flower worked their magic with this greenery inspired chandelier install. To add a touch of festive goodness, we created this "cheers" sign using acrylic and vinyl (with our Cricut of course!) And we had so much fun with this Charcuterie that the Farmhouse at Serenbe helped us whip up. Using our Cricut Explore Air™, we created custom signage and "cheers" decals for our champagne glasses.... There was a mix of delicious cheeses, olives, smoked meats, peppers, and grapes. And I'd be lying if I said that we didn't take a nibble after our shoot was over. A custom "Sip, Sip Hooray" sign displayed the three signature drinks that we dreamt up for the day... The Palemetto (featured above) was named after Palmetto Georgia, the town our venue was in. ...while the Citrine Swizzle was named after it's yellowish hue. We had so much fun setting up this room, you guys! ... and vintage rentals by Crush Event Design truly made this space come to life... ... that's because with their beautiful pieces we were able to create an inviting lounge area complete with a gorgeous bar and seating that encouraged conversation.
I also thought it would be fun to create these modern doilies using the Cricut and we're loving how they turned out. So textural and fun, if you ask me!

So there you have it, m'dears! We had so much fun designing and crafting so many of the details for this Southern, 'on the farm,' wedding inspiration. And lucky for us Alexis June Weddings was there to capture all of the pretty.

Eclectic Amethyst Shoot with Subtle Spanish Details

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 12:52:00 +0000

Brace yourselves, m'dears! Because with stunning captures by Kristen Weaver Photography, and event planning and design by Covington Designs and Events — today's eclectic, amethyst inspired shoot is colorful, creative, and all kinds of pretty!

Watch out for show-stopping florals by Shea Hopely Flowers Inc., and this delicious looking dessert bar with this artsy, marbled wedding cake designed by Ady's Cakes Galore and specialty treats by Chic Sweets.

From Kristen Weaver Photography "I was brought on to photograph an urban-inspired styled shoot at Haus 820 by Julie from Covington Designs and Events. Initially, the inspiration was jewel-toned, but we saw it gradually evolve to a more eclectic and whimsical style."

"Some of my favorite details can actually be found in the attire — I selected 2 different tassel earrings from ASOS to accent the Latin-inspired gown designed by Ines di Santo. We also chose a soft mauve-colored suit jacket and floral tie (also from ASOS) for the groom."

"Our models are really married and brought their daughter along for a few shots, too! Our ceremony space was accented with gold floral hoops in this old supermarket-turned-event venue, an oriental rug and greenery."

Invitations from A&P Design Co. had hints of modern and touches of vintage. And these envelope liners? Yes, please! Not to mention these cool fonts. Hair and makeup was absolutely on point thanks to Hair and Makeup by Ivelisse. We love how the eye shadow was done to compliment the accessories. And what's not to love about this golden ring ceremony installation? Such an easy way to make a bold statement. Add in ferns on each side with candlelight? And we've got the makings of the perfect ceremony setup.
The reception table was so full of beauty with these smokey blue-gray velvet linens from Kate Ryan Linens and these exquisite, boho-inspired florals from Shea Hopely Flowers Inc. All the heart eyes for these modern place settings from Treasury Rentals. Because what's not to love about a place setting that packs so much style and color? "And the dessert table and lounge included glittered donuts, rock candy and specially designed sweets. Shea Hopely Flowers Inc. chose arrangements based around king Proteas and we accented the bouquets with silk ribbon." Rentals from Treasury Rentals and The Reserve Vintage Rentals helped set the scene for romance.

Wow, wow, wow! This shoot is definitely on our top 5 favorites for 2018! So excited to share the pretty! Now, you'll have to excuse us because we have some serious pinning to do! Over on Pinterest that is! Care to join us?

Records and Whiskey at the Speakeasy on State

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 14:06:00 +0000

With moody captures by Lovely Light Imagery and amazing florals by Posh Peony, this styled soirée has it all! It's got hipster written all over it and we just can't get enough of this chic event design that was dreamt up on this day at the Speakeasy on State.

From the floral designer, "We set out to capture the essence of summer and bring together all kinds of fun vibes! In addition to warm gold and orange tones that mimic summer, we incorporated some darker moody shades like burgundy and plum to create and baroque contrast."

The colors together evoked a rich palette that paired perfectly with greenery, metallics, and wood tones to give a boho rustic look. Things to be on the lookout for: Amazing wall murals at the Speakeasy on State, specialty drinks mixed up Bottles and Blooms featuring whiskey and vodka and speciality gin from Pomp and Whimsy.

From the team, "Our bartender created custom drinks with specialty gin and herbal garnishes to provide a fresh summer twist." "We thought why not invite all of our favorite industry professionals to come out and celebrate with ice cream and custom libations?" Heart Sound Entertainment was in the house as DJ and they kept the mood feeling fun and celebratory. Plus we simply can't get over our love for these round menus designed by Details Beyond Design. And how fabulous is this black wedding cake with these floral prints by Mix Bake Decorate Cake Shop? A gorgeous menu with hand lettering by Chalk N' Ink added so much personality to the bar presentation. So much to love about this moody and celebratory scene. Are we right? Or are we right?

A Luxe Greenery-Filled Texas Fête with Beautiful Blooms Galore

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 20:19:00 +0000

With stunning captures from The Lockharts, today's luxe editorial has us feeling some type of way. Gathered Events kicked off the pretty off with a tablescape full of lush blooms designed by Haute Floral, place settings with chargers that can only be describe as wow-worthy, and a greenery-filled color palette featuring rich teal and glitzy gold.

From the team, "This day was inspired by the love of snowcapped mountains and lush evergreen trees in the winter time. We sought to create a space that felt like winter, while still remaining cozy and inviting with candle light and rich greens."

"Davis + Grey Farms was so full of natural light. We loved layering the different textures of white florals and greens to enhance the space and showcase a romantic, winter garden. Bringing in gold with the candles, place settings, and accessories pulled in elegant, warm touches."

"The bride's high neck dress from Essense of Australia and Bluebonnet Bridal Boutique was absolutely dreamy with the perfectly placed lace details, all while the groom remained classic with his black tux and emerald bow tie to pay homage to those evergreens."

"The entire day was full of rich velvet, candlelight, and green hues that reminded us of a beautiful winter afternoon filled with joy and love"

Rowan Beauty gave the bride a beautiful, natural look. All. the. heart. eyes!

A stationery suite from LaneLove Paper Co was so perfectly exquisite with its script style font, wax seals, and specialty stamps.

Rentals from Posh Couture helped set the scene for romance on this day.

Leafy chargers made each place setting feel so very special. These really upped the elegance factor and took the tabletops to the next level.

A classic three tier cake was exquisitely designed by Butterfly Cakery. It features clean linens, velvet accents, and a stunning floral finish.

Centerpieces consisted of a beautiful mix of florals, taper candles, and votives. We love the script style table numbers, the textured linens, and the colored glassware we're also seeing here.

A beautiful wall of greenery from Alive & Wall was the perfect backdrop of this creative display.

These modern chairs feature a gold metal frame and teal velvet cushions. What a fantastic way to incorporate your wedding day color palette. Wouldn't you agree?

All the Heart Eyes for this Epic Elopement

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 16:14:00 +0000

Designed to showcase the growing elopement trend, this Scottsdale Arizona editorial features creativity that pushes the envelope. From the team, "we're hearing frequently with the popularity of sites like Pinterest and Instagram that it's difficult to decide which elements of your wedding to focus on and where to place the bulk of your budget."

"Our answer? Sit down and really think about the top 2-3 items that are most important to you and let your vendor team grow them into ideas that are reflective of you as a couple." Mandy Marie Creative and Lesley Bodwell selected The Brexley as the venue because of its modern influence and architectural elements. And oh. my. goodness. Get ready for gorgeous!

From the team, "we wanted to create an inspired shoot that evoked the feeling of refined romance and minimalism, while using a warm color story that popped against The Brexley's cool and modern backdrops."

From Mandy Marie Creative, "Vendors who consistently provide high-end service and design graciously jumped on board to bring this romantic and minimalist design to life."

"This design was initially inspired from the statement entryway of The Brexley. Immediately, MMC knew this could be transformed into an epic space for a ceremony."

"The oversized cage front door was used as a ceremony backdrop, while the aisle played off the bronze color tones by installing a stunning, mirrored, rose-gold aisle lined with soft roses and pampas grass."

"Cleo & Clementine is known for creating one of a kind, handmade gowns and accessories with ethereal fabrics and brilliant colors like the stunning rose gold gown and veil created for this shoot."

"Bloom + BloomPrint represents everything artistic and floral. Their team knocked it out of the park with this ceremony floral installation adhered to a 12ft iron entryway."
"They styled the bouquet and centerpieces to perfection providing the ultimate wow factor. Their creativity and ability to adapt is truly one of a kind."

"MaeFlour Cakes is always an over and above experience. We asked her to design 1 cake for this shoot and she showed up with 3! She has a true talent to craft and design her pieces of art, Cakes!"

"Glamour and Woods is a rental company that believes in design first! They helped create an elegant and sophisticated ceremony setting with their Sofia Oval Back Chairs. In the reception space, The Ritz Cocktail Tier held flutes of rose and was an instant show-stopper."

"Maude Press created one of the most unique stationery suites we’ve ever seen! The distinctive cutouts and rose gold string tying it all together was the perfect complement to this shoot. They never fail to deliver a handmade product that is custom, quality and most of all beautiful."

"Bright Event Rentals provided us with newly stocked inventory for the entire tablescape and Parker flutes for the champagne tower. They are innovative and constantly updating their unique products and collections to provide a distinctive and fresh look."

"ED Marshall Jewelers in Scottsdale is our favorite place to send couples for high-quality engagement rings and accessories. They provided us with a 1.6 carat, emerald-cut diamond engagement ring, paired with a stunning wedding band to complete the bride’s look."

"Chantelle Mertes styled our model's hair a total of 3 times throughout this shoot. We started with a full up-do, then half-up half-down and the final look was all down tousled curls. Chantelle’s talent, demeanor and confidence is definitely someone you want on your glam squad for any event."

"Pearls Beauty by Pearl Espinoza provided our model with perfect bridal makeup giving her that bridal glow! Pearl is a pro, who works in multiple parts of the MUA industry from editorial, bridal and commercial."

"At the end of the day, our bride made a gown switch into a white, strapless, sweetheart-neckline gown. This allowed her to move more freely, inevitably creating a leisurely and effortless aesthetic that paired well with The Brexley's modern and architectural elements."

"All these vendors came together to push design boundaries and to create new trends for future weddings; using a blend of contemporary and classic elements for a refreshing and unique look."

Luxury Romance to Bold and Sexy

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Sun, 06 Jul 2025 13:26:00 +0000

Bold, beautiful, and all kinds of chic — today's styled editorial has it all! It's sexy and sweet and has luxury written all over it. But what more would we expect what with a dream team like this at the helm?

Sara Pudlo was behind the lens snapping up all the pretty that Infinite Events created on this day. And the florals by Laura Jean Floral? Holy swoon. Queen Annne's loft quickly proved to be the perfect spot to bring these modern and edgy ideas to life. And these colors? Wow! Brace yourselves, m'dears — because this shoot is absolutely inspiring!

From Infinite Events, "We have been seeing a lot of blush and golds and I wanted to show brides the endless possibility that you could do with silver, a bold color and a very soft hue to get that stunning yet romantic feel."

"To do that, we choose to work with a triadic color scheme, emerald green being our dominate color, Pantone's Color of the year, Ultra Violet as our non-dominate color and silver as our accent color."

"One thing I love most when designing is adding in texture. I love the look it brings to any setting, and the awe of looking at the table to only see something new that you didn't see before is what I strive for."

"During this shoot, we did two table looks, taking it from soft to bold just by changing out a couple of pieces."

"The napkins where hand cut by Infinite Events, as I wanted to incorporate something unique, so I opted for velvet napkins with frayed ends."

Stationery designed by Paper Perfectionist tied the entire look together.

More from the team, "We tied them in a knot for the first look and then we had them in a napkin holder for second look."

"Place cards are a great way to get creative as well, we decided on slate place cards for our table settings. It's something interesting that your guest will keep after."

"... Just like our table top, the bride and groom had two looks as well, a formal affair then a fun and flirty look to compliment our bold to soft theme we were striving to achieve."

Place settings from Borrowed Blu added so much visual interest.

...while rental furniture from AFR helped set the scene for the day.

Beauty including hair and makeup was so natural and pretty thanks to Ali lomazzo Beauty!

"This shoot was all about incorporating bold colors and mixing them with soft hues..."

"...whether you are a luxury romance or a bold and sexy bride, this inspirational shoot has the best of both worlds. As evidenced by this creative cake design by Confectionery Design.

This wedding gown from Hayley Page was sleek, sophisticated, and oh-so sweet!

Groovy Flower Festival Style Shoot

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 19:02:00 +0000

What happens when golden hour gorgeousness meets a Palm Spring-esque locale with plenty of eye-popping, citrus-hued blooms? A colorful kaleidoscope of inspiration, m'dears! That's what. With stunning captures from Katherine Rose Photography, florals from Hey Clementine Floral Design and event design, coordination, and rentals from Fruitvale Designs — there's no mistaking that this shoot has all the good stuff.

From the team, "The inspiration behind this elopement shoot came from our gorgeous venue located in Northern San Diego county. The venue, French in Firs, is a unique historical midcentury house with a breathtaking dome rooftop and midcentury design elements."

"The original owner was a botanist and planted dozens of unique tropical plants all around the house and grounds. The house really looks like Palm Springs but with gorgeous lush tropical botanicals all around it. Inspiration for our shoot is a 1960’s flower festival."

"We used pinks, oranges and yellow for florals with a ceremony arch shaped like a peace-symbol and a groovy styled cake."

"Our bride had the classic beehive hair and boots while our groom rocked a mustache and boots. It was the perfect mix of playful and groovy with a touch of whimsy!"

We are loving this two-tier retro wedding cake cutie designed by Hey There Cupcake.

Romantic retro hair from Beauty by Katie paired perfectly with makeup from Danielle Robeson.

Paper pretties and calligraphy from Spilled Ink Calligraphy truly tied in the subtle flower power theme. Love, love, love!

Hand-crafted cocktails from Rosewater Cocktail Co added a fun, celebratory vibe to this shoot. Because who isn't down for a bar cart stocked and styled to perfection with plenty of pretty liqueurs?

We're loving the disco ball addition and the textured rug choice!

This peace-sign looks like it was a labor of love! Total 70s vibes complete with peace, love, and happiness. Bravo, Hey Clementine Floral Design.

This twirl-worthy gown from D'Angelo Couture was such a lovely one.

Holy Swoon. So excited to share the pretty! Now, you'll have to excuse us because we have some serious pinning to do! Over on Pinterest that is! Care to join us?

Bold and Buzz-Worthy Wedding Inspo

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Sun, 30 Mar 2025 13:50:00 +0000

Well, hello there, color-lovers! Time to get excited for all that's to come! Because today we've got a shoot that will surely keep people buzzing for days. And by people, we mean you! From the intricate attention to detail to the perfect pops of color throughout — everything about this shoot screams spring! And lucky for us The Hendricks were there to capture it all!

The mastermind behind this buzz-worthy shoot was Katie Jimenez with Big Day Celebrations! Here's what she had to say about how it all came together, "We started with a concept that originally stemmed from gardening (pun totally intended), specifically the idea of planting flowers to attract butterflies. But then as time went by, it was all about the bees! Bee keeping to be specific."

"More specifically, it was inspired by my mom who began with one little hive in the back yard and now has three larger ones! And do you know what that means? Tens of thousands of bees...all over the yard."

"I always get a big smile and a little laugh watching her in her bee suit, with her smoker checking the hives and talking to her "girls" as if they understand her. She absolutely loves this new hobby of hers and even became the treasurer of the local bee club."

"I wanted to take her passion for bees and gardening and turn it into an inspiration shoot, fit for a queen (bee that is). First I had to find the perfect venue."

"I immediately thought of Mission Inn Resort's, Plaza de la Fontana because of it's beautiful garden-like feel, green grass and fountain."

"It was the perfect spot for an outdoor shoot! After the venue was locked in, it was time to pull together a rockstar team of vendors to make the ideas I had in my head come to life."

"Because we were going for a garden vibe, I knew floral was going to be one of the most important things. In Bloom Florist is one of Orlando's top florists and I knew they would be a perfect fit. I was so happy when they said "yes!" I went into my meeting with Rochelle with all kinds of bee decor."

"Some I had purchased and some my mom had given to me. After a great brainstorming session, I walked out on cloud nine because I knew it was going to be beautiful! We decided on bright colors including: pinks, yellows and oranges with pops of purples and blues."

"Everything came together and meshed so well together. It was the perfect color palette for a spring/summer shoot for sure."

"I found these awesome hexagon wine racks on Amazon. They were very versatile and you could stack them on top of each other. I decided to paint them gold and we would use them as part of the centerpiece for the reception table."

"In Bloom knocked it out of the park and transformed such a simple wine rack into a stunning centerpiece. They had flowers cascading out of the racks and gathered together on top. It was beautiful!"

"We paired the wine racks with a mixture of milk glass, gold vases and of course, my mom's glass beehive jars. To complete the look, we incorporated a white farm table and ghost chairs from A Chair Affair and beautiful tableware from The Vintage Dish - Timely Tableware."

"The invitation suite was also created by Two Peas Designs as was the welcome sign and seating chart. She did such an amazing job bringing all of the bee details to life and I will say that invitation suite, with it's hand ripped, hand-made paper and perfectly written script was one of my favorites of all times!"

"For the ceremony, we kept it simple because the plaza was so pretty on its own already! A simple set up of white French country chairs facing the beautiful fountain and that was it!"

"Probably one of my most favorite pieces of furniture from the whole shoot was the adorable little yellow love seat from A Chair Affair. I wanted to take it home with me!"

"We paired that piece with two French country chairs and a white farm coffee table, a couple throw pillows and one of the wine rack arrangements."

"To complete the look, we hung wooden hexagons adorned with greenery and floral in the trees behind the loveseat and it made for such a romantic little spot for our bride and groom to snuggle up at."

"TwoPeas Designs created a beautiful bee-inspired table number and each setting had a little jar of honey, from my mom's hive of course."

"That little jar also acted as a place card. Yellow lamour napkins from Over the Top Rental Linens added another pop of color to the table and tied in so perfectly!"

"It even had a hand-made hexagon cake topper! We accented the cake with cupcakes, frosted to look like beehives, hexagon shaped bee cookies, cake pops and macarons with hand painted hexagons on them! Yum!"

"All of the deliciousness was plated on a white farm table and an adorable sign created by TwoPeas Designs brought a little extra sugar to the table."

"Now let's talk about some of the smaller details. My favorite small detail were the rings! I had found these amazing rings on Pinterest. They were bee-inspired and perfect for the shoot!"

"I was able to find the company that hand makes them and they were generous enough to make a set for us and let us borrow them! Blazer Arts is amazing and those rings were such a perfect detail for the shoot! I was able to pick up a few pieces of jewelry and my mom also added to that part by letting us borrow one of her bee necklaces."

"From day one I wanted a high-low wedding dress and One & Only Bridal delivered just that! The dress was a two piece with the skirt being simple and elegant, in high-low fashion and the top being sweet and simple with a beautiful lace overlay."

"It was beautiful and it showed off her shoes perfectly. Now about the shoes - I found them at Marshalls and made by Rampage and the moment I saw them I knew I had to have them! I mean...they had a bee on them!

"Her dress went perfectly with his tan suit from The Black Tux. We kept it simple with just a boutonniere and beehive pin, from my mom of course."

"Laura Reynolds Artistry did an amazing job with our model's hair and makeup as well! We kept it simple and added a cute hexagon hair clip and some flowers to her hair just for a little something special." "The Hendricks did an "bee-autiful" job capturing every detail. Their work is so light and airy and is exactly what I was looking for for the shoot! Love and Lustre Weddings captured the shoot in cinematic form and I cannot wait to see the finished product!" "The shoot turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined! It was so fun to collaborate with such a wonderful team of vendors and see everything come together as well as it did!" "The last part (and the sweetest) was the dessert display. Le Petit Sweet did such a wonderful job! A beautiful three tier buttercream drip cake centered the display."

A Blush and Blue Swoonfest at Agritopia Farms in Gilbert Arizona

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 17:24:00 +0000

What's blush and blue and filled to the brim with beautiful details galore? Say hello to this exquisite Arizona shoot that took place in Gilbert Arizona at Agritopia Farms. Looking for inspiration perfect for spring? Lucky for us Nathanael Tenney Photography was behind the lens on this day.

Dash Event Company teamed up with Arizona Styled Shoots to create a little wedding magic on this day. And the result? Pure prettiness. Just one glance and there's no denying that Cloud 9 Blooms went over the top with the flowers. The floral installations, the wedding bouquets — it was all just so good!

The details were plentiful on this day with a sweet and romantic wedding invitation suite and menus designed by Lauren Yvonne Design as well as signage from Winslow and Co.

From the team, "For this shoot, we wanted to pay homage to the consistent Arizona blue skies. We matched the crisp Arizona skies with the tablescape linens, goblets, and candlesticks. The floral arrangements and invitation suite all shared accents of the cloudless blue sky."

"Highlighting what the desert can offer, the shoot took place at Agritopia Farms, a lush green garden, only yards away from the suburban desert."

The invitation suite from Lauren Yvonne Design were so perfectly coordinated with the color palette seen here on this day. Dusty blues, soft pinks, and light greens really did make the perfect palette.

Rentals from Event Rents AZ helped to set the scene for romance featuring this artfully designed tabletop with place settings styled to the nines.

As for the bridal style? Talk about a beautiful bride! Bella Lily Bridal provided the wedding dress on this day with hair and makeup by Ashley Grant.

More from the team, "Keeping with the Arizona color scheme, the bride carried a blush and sandy bouquet complementing her gown, the maid of honor’s dress, and the groom’s suit."

Such a swoonfest, wouldn't you agree? Now, you'll have to excuse us because we have a date with Pinterest right about now. Time to pin all the pretty. Care to join us?

Fun and Colorful Springtime Fiesta Inspo

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 21 Mar 2025 13:12:00 +0000

Get your fiesta on with this vibrant color explosion that's just ideal for spring. Kelly Anne Photography let us in on this shoot with her exceptional photos and it just puts us in the mood for anything to do with warm weather and springtime (hello, backyard barbecues!).

Lemiga Events dressed up the stark white space with shades of yellow, coral, and green and Bold Events followed right behind with some of the most darling ranunculus and tulip creations. Bonus points for the vases that make their brilliant colors pop out even more. We wouldn't mind getting an invite to this shindig!

From the planner, "Spring is almost here! What better way to celebrate than with an afternoon of fun, food, and cocktails with your friends? This Spring Fiesta concept is perfect for a bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party, or any excuse to get together with friends and share a memorable afternoon."

"A great party always begins with the invitation. We encouraged guests to bring a creative project to share at the party. The vibrant party design incorporated shades of yellow, coral, and green."

Fun and festive stationery from Tiger Lily Invitations really set the tone for this chic fiesta.

And what's a party without cake and libations, we say? Sweet Details ATL created a really fun, boho inspired cake design. And just look at all the yummy sips and bites from Simply Catering.

"Lunch included Tequila Lime Shrimp Parfaits and the most delicious Guava Lime Cocktail. The great thing about the parfaits is having the ability for guests to layer their own ingredients - super easy on the host and alleviates concerns about dietary restrictions."

"Guests dined at a white modern table with a desert chic centerpiece. Beautiful floral plates from Anthropologie, coordinating menu cards, and special surprise ball place cards finished the place settings."

"After lunch, everyone had the opportunity to choose their beads and were led in a jewelry making instruction. It was a fun activity and a beautiful favor to take home."

"A decadent dessert bar displayed yummy treats along with a churro bar with an assortment of toppings. We hung out while enjoying desserts in beautifully styled lounges."

Love By the Numbers with Sophisticated Garden Style

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 02:29:00 +0000

Love by the Numbers

When this couple celebrated their union at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, they transformed the presidential library into an ethereal spring garden party that beautifully bridged cultures, traditions, and modern romance.

With cascading florals by Anthousai Florals in soft, romantic hues of blush, peach, coral, and lavender setting the scene, their day unfolded as an elegant celebration planned by Caroline Ply that honored both their Korean heritage and their shared American roots.

Capturing the Love

Artist Jarah Jacks captured the celebration in a live painting, while videographer Brian Weaver with Weaver Films and photographer Erin Wilson documented every precious moment. The bride stunned in not one but two meaningful looks – first in a classic WToo by Watters gown, then in a custom hanbok from South Korea's Gwangjang Market that paid tribute to her mother's own wedding day.

But before we dive into the details of this sophisticated soirée, we should mention that this love story began, quite fittingly for these two academics, with a failed attempt at studying calculus...

The Calculus of Love

Sometimes, the most beautiful love stories begin with the most unexpected study sessions. For S.W. and Martin, their romance blossomed over multivariable calculus at Vanderbilt University's Stevenson Library.

"We arrived prepared to study hyperbolic and elliptic paraboloids, but instead met the love of our lives," the bride recalls. "We talked through the night until the early hours of the morning. No studying was done that night."

From Campus to Forever

Their journey from that first meeting to the altar was filled with memorable moments, from S.W. gripping Martin's hand during a showing of "It," to a nervous first kiss at a university hackathon, and even weathering a year apart while S.W. studied abroad in Scotland.

After graduation and a cross-country move together, Martin proposed in Chicago's Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool, setting the stage for their enchanting celebration at the iconic Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Honoring Heritage

One of the day's most meaningful moments came when the bride changed into a custom wedding hanbok from MyeongMoon JooDan in South Korea's Gwangjang Market. "As a Korean-American, it was deeply important to me to honor my heritage," she shares.

"My mother helped me put on the hanbok she had gifted me, just like she wore at her own wedding reception. It symbolized a bridge between my past and my future." The celebration of culture extended to their guests, with Korean family members wearing their own colorful hanboks, creating a stunning display of tradition and unity.

Fashion and Style

The bridesmaids embodied spring's vibrant spirit in mismatched dresses that complemented the wedding's color palette, while the groom and groomsmen looked dapper in classic suits from The Black Tux. The bride began the day in an elegant WToo by Watters gown from Inverness Bridal before changing into her meaningful hanbok.

A Garden Party Vision

The couple enlisted event planner Caroline Ply to bring their vision to life, transforming the presidential venue into an ethereal spring garden. Anthousai Florals created breathtaking arrangements that combined lush greenery with vibrant blooms in soft, romantic hues of blush, peach, coral, and lavender.

The ceremony backdrop featured garden-inspired floral pillars with cascading greenery, while reception tables showcased delicate centerpieces that appeared freshly gathered from a meadow.

Culinary Delights

Culinary DelightsThe Clinton Presidential Center's culinary team crafted a menu that honored both families and friends, featuring Southern comfort food alongside Asian and vegetarian options.

Mickey’s Cakes & Sweets created a showstopping two-flavor masterpiece, Italian wedding cake and a rich, delicious chocolate, adorned with fresh flowers that echoed the wedding's garden theme.

Dancing the Night Away

DJ Chad from Central Arkansas Entertainment kept the dance floor alive, and Pastor Aubrietta Jones officiated the ceremony - which included an unexpectedly memorable a cappella hymn performance.

The Next Chapter

The newlyweds later honeymooned in Portugal, exploring Porto, Lisbon, and the Algarve - a trip made possible by their savvy use of credit card points earned while planning their wedding. It was the perfect beginning to their next chapter, which started years ago with a calculus exam that turned into so much more.

An Elegant Mansion Wedding in Shades of Pink and Ivory

noreply@blogger.com (The Perfect Palette) — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 23:00:00 +0000

Sarah and Mike Held’s wedding at The Mansion at Natirar was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the rolling hills of New Jersey, the historic mansion provided the perfect backdrop for their big day. Known for its sprawling estate and blend of classic and modern elements, The Mansion at Natirar set the scene for a romantic celebration filled with shades of pink and ivory, spring florals, and timeless elegance.

With Rebecca Grace Events at the helm, every detail of their day was thoughtfully curated to reflect their love story. Let's all just stop for a moment and appreciate the beauty that wedding photographer Sara Grace Photography captured on this day. Shall we?

A Serendipitous Beginning

Sarah and Mike first met at Vanderbilt University during their undergrad years, sparking a connection that would carry them from their college days in Nashville to a stunning celebration of their love. The proposal brought them back to their roots at Vanderbilt, where Mike surprised Sarah with a heartfelt engagement on campus, flying in their families for the occasion, a perfect nod to where their journey began.

A Dream Setting

Set on 500 acres of scenic landscape, The Mansion at Natirar provided a breathtaking setting for both their ceremony and reception. With its stately architecture, grand ballroom, and panoramic views of the countryside, the venue offered a timeless charm that perfectly complemented the couple’s aesthetic.

A Floral Dream

Sarah and Mike’s floral design, created by Denise Fasanello, was a vision of pink hues that beautifully balanced elegance and fun. From lush pink peonies to delicate ivory roses, every arrangement brought the couple’s spring-inspired aesthetic to life.

The floral designs were carried through from the outdoor ceremony, where soft petals lined the aisle, to the reception’s chic tablescapes, where blooms were paired with understated greenery for a clean and modern look.

Custom Gowns & Sleek Suits

Sarah looked breathtaking in her custom Mira Zwillinger gown, a delicate masterpiece of lace and intricate beading that shimmered in the natural light.

For the after-party, she changed into a custom mini dress adorned with sparkly beading, perfect for dancing the night away. Mike kept his look classic with a sleek tux from Knot Standard, adding a timeless touch to the day’s style.

The ceremony took place in the mansion’s lush outdoor space, with soft sunlight filtering through towering trees. The reception inside the mansion’s ballroom featured elegant details with romantic candlelight and blush accents, creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere for their guests to dance the night away.

A Culinary Experience

Known for its culinary excellence, The Mansion at Natirar didn’t disappoint. Cocktail hour featured a variety of stations, including a Southern table and a sushi station, alongside passed appetizers that were a hit with guests.

The reception continued the culinary journey with gourmet dishes crafted by the mansion’s team, incorporating ingredients sourced from the estate’s nearby restaurant, 90 Acres.

The cake, from The Mansion at Natirar, was a mix of chocolate and vanilla with smooth vanilla buttercream, was a sweet finale to the evening’s feast.

A Country Twist

As a nod to their Nashville roots, Sarah and Mike incorporated their love of country music into their wedding day. 45 Riots, their DJ, kept the energy high with a mix of classic hits, country tunes, and party anthems that had guests filling the dance floor from the first song to the last. Their love for country music added a personal touch to the celebration, blending their shared history with their vibrant wedding day.

A Honeymoon to Remember

After their unforgettable day, Sarah and Mike embarked on the honeymoon of a lifetime in Tanzania, planned by ROANE Travel. Their journey included stays at luxurious lodges and resorts like Gibbs Farm, Four Seasons Serengeti, TAASA Lodge, and Zuri Zanzibar.

From exciting adventures to serene beach days, their honeymoon was the perfect way to begin their new chapter together.

Advice for Future Couples

Sarah’s advice for couples planning their wedding? “Pick the areas you want to invest in, and then the other vendors and details can be de-prioritized from a budget perspective.” This smart approach allowed them to focus on what mattered most to them which created a beautiful, memorable experience for themselves and their guests.

With shades of pink, elegant florals, and a blend of country charm and classic elegance, Sarah and Mike’s wedding at The Mansion at Natirar was truly a day to remember.

From the gorgeous setting to the culinary delights, every detail came together to create a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Now excuse us for a moment while we hop over to Pinterest to pin all. the. details! Care to join us?

When Ally first met Cole during their freshman year at the University of Arkansas, she didn't know that November 3, 2018, would become a date she'd wear around her neck forever. The two crossed paths during Ski Lodge weekend – she, a Kappa, and he, a Sigma Chi – marking the beginning of their love story. That meaningful date now hangs as a delicate necklace Cole gifted her in the summer of 2019, a constant reminder of their serendipitous meeting.

The Proposal

The proposal unfolded on the pristine shores of Rosemary Beach, where Cole and his family orchestrated an unforgettable moment. "My family came and surprised me at the proposal on the beach!" Ally recalls. The evening continued with an intimate celebration featuring a private chef-prepared dinner, allowing both families to share in their joy.

The Vision

For their December 30th wedding at Cold Springs Events, the couple prioritized creating a joyful atmosphere for their wedding party while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. The day began with the groomsmen enjoying breakfast at the groom's parents' house before settling into a rental property on the venue grounds for a relaxed afternoon of cornhole. Meanwhile, the bridesmaids embraced the celebratory atmosphere during their hair and makeup preparations.

The ceremony design focused on spiritual significance, with the Arkansas Symphony quartet performing a carefully curated selection of old and new hymns as guests arrived. "The timing was chosen to take advantage of afternoon light coming in the chapel," Ally explains. The focal point was a stunning full floral cross, which served as the ceremony centerpiece, creating an ethereal backdrop for their vows.

The Reception

The celebration transformed from an elegant ceremony into a high-energy reception. A sophisticated cocktail hour featuring live jazz set the tone before transitioning to the Memphis Soul Revue, who kept the dance floor packed throughout the evening. The design incorporated modern elements with white parsons tables, acrylic stools, and strategic lounge areas surrounding a dramatic 40-foot black dance floor, creating what Ally describes as a "club feel."

The Menu

Working with Vibrant Occasions Catering, the couple opted for an innovative alternative to traditional wedding fare. "We didn't want a sit-down dinner but wanted something different than the normal buffet style food at weddings," Ally shares. "Mary suggested pasta stations and it ended up being a huge hit!"

The culinary experience began during cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres including cheese-stuffed mushrooms, spinach artichoke crostini, and mini Italian meatballs served over cheesy polenta. The pasta stations featured chefs preparing fresh dishes to order, offering guests their choice of grilled chicken alfredo or a rich pasta ragu with cabernet-braised beef and Italian sausage. In a playful late-night twist, Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches made an appearance at 9 PM, providing the perfect fuel for the final hour of dancing.

The Details

The floral design maintained a clean, modern aesthetic with all-white blooms accented by lush greenery. This pristine palette carried through to the cake – a towering creation of white tiers adorned with fresh flowers at the base, featuring alternating layers of chocolate, strawberry, and lemon filling.

Words of Wisdom

When asked about budget-saving advice, Ally offers a practical tip: "Coordinate flowers with the groom's family so the flowers can be used for both rehearsal dinner and ceremony." But perhaps her most valuable insight came from her own experience: "Because of a lot of planning and a wonderful wedding planner, the day went off without a hitch. It was just perfect and a lot of fun!"

After dancing the night away surrounded by loved ones, Ally and Cole jetted off to Cabo San Lucas for a week of newlywed bliss at Zadun, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve. With its pristine beaches, world-class amenities, and stunning ocean views, it was the perfect destination for the college sweethearts to begin their next chapter – one that started on a November night at the University of Arkansas and led them to their perfect December evening under the twinkling lights of Cold Springs Events.

Mary Kate and Perry's wedding day, held at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church and the Inn at Carnall Hall, was a dream come true for the couple. Despite initial fears of rain, the weather smiled upon them, providing a perfect backdrop for their heartfelt celebration. Captured beautifully by Courtney Garrett Photography, this real wedding is so full of heartfelt goodness.

Stunning florals, curated by Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio, adorned the ceremony and reception spaces with exquisite arrangements of white and green hydrangeas, tulips, and lush foliage, evoking an ambiance of timeless southern elegance.

As the celebration continued at the Inn at Carnall, the reception florals seamlessly carried on the theme of southern refinement. White and green hydrangea arrangements nestled in glass vessels and silver champagne bowls graced the tables, radiating an air of understated luxury.

The addition of white tulips in silver Mint Julep cups added a whimsical touch, nodding to classic southern traditions with a contemporary twist.

Throughout the reception space, delicate white ranunculus, Boston ferns, and light foliage accents lent an ethereal quality to the decor, infusing the atmosphere with a sense of natural splendor.

This remarkable day could not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of their wonderful vendors, including the guidance of wedding planner Reilly Batdorf with Wed by Meg and the soul-stirring melodies of the Memphis Soul Revue.

From the captivating floral arrangements to the delectable creations by Shelby Lynn's Cake Shoppe, each vendor played a pivotal role in bringing Mary Kate and Perry's vision to life.

The couple's love for the University of Arkansas was beautifully reflected in every detail of their special day, from themed signature drinks honoring their beloved Razorbacks to an unforgettable Rehearsal Dinner held in the North End Zone 64 Club of the Football Stadium.

The evening turned even more magical when unexpected guests in the form of football recruits and coaches joined them on the field for a spirited rendition of "Calling the Hogs."

Amidst the love and laughter, Mary Kate and Perry's wedding day showcased their deep connection, celebrated by all who were fortunate enough to share in their joy. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and an undeniable sense of magic, leaving an indelible impression on all who were lucky enough to witness it.

Following their joyful nuptials, Mary Kate and Perry embarked on a romantic honeymoon in Italy, indulging in the rich history of Rome and savoring the breathtaking vistas of Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.
