Real Wedding Inspiration: Veronica & Brian's Romantic Lavender Wedding

While eggplant purple was a popular color last Fall, the more subtle, lavender, tone this charming couple chose suited them very well & gave their wedding a nice, soft, elegant look.

This neat little box with inserts for photos of the couple was the perfect card box.

Also at the reception table, guests found their place cards which were delicately decorated with gem stones to add sparkle.


 For their glamorous ceremony, the couple also upgraded their aisle decor with these pedestals & sheer draped white fabric, designed by one of our preferred floral vendors, Pure Elegance. The flowers on top of the pedestal were later moved inside during cocktail hour for 6 of the tables as was the center spray on the arbor, which doubled as the sweetheart table arrangement. 
Insider tip: to save money, make your ceremony flowers do double duty! Ask your florist & venue for help in making the most out of your floral budget by helping you move pieces from the ceremony setup inside while you mingle with your guests after the ceremony.


The room looked very pretty when it was all set before the guests came in from cocktail hour. They chose lavender overlays & white napkins to incorporate their color scheme.


The head table with the center spray from the arbor was fit for a king & his queen.


As their favors, the couple chose mini customized bottles of olive oil & balsamic vinegar. I really appreciate when you get something at a wedding that you can actually use, or in this case eat!


And of course, the cake! This gorgeous one was designed by my personal favorite preferred bakery, La Creme, which means it also tasted great!
Insider tip: Remember when you go on your cake tasting appointment, that the taste of the cake really does matter. It'll be the last impression you leave on your guests & though a fondant & diamond decorated cake might look great for pictures, there's nothing like a tough, dry tasting cake to spoil the evening.
But obviously, this gorgeous, moist, buttercream frosted La Creme creation was to die for!


Congratulations again to our fun loving couple Veronica & Brian!
We hope you enjoyed your day & continue to celebrate your milestone moments with us.
