This interpretation is a little softer and makes me envision an intimate garden gathering. The invitations were designed by Marijke Janssens of Enfin, La Voila!. I'm a huge fan of her designs and have gifted many friends with her stationery. Even if you're not in the market for wedding invitations, you should pop into her shop to see more of her work. The scroll work bordering the invites is mimicked in the peek-a-boo lace hem of the Alvina Valenta gown. The label is known for their feminine silhouettes and offers their gowns in shades of white, ivory, and pink. The mono-botanical bouquet of clematis adds texture without overshadowing the gown and resembles the blooms on the invitation. Realistic looking earrings of hydrangea buds complement the structure of the dress. As for the tux, brown doesn't have to mean autumn; it all depends on the colors in the rest of the wedding. Bridesmaids would look fresh in this perfect shade of green. Best of all, the dresses aren't "bridesmaid" dresses and they're less than $70. Finish their look with a simple necklace and matching earrings(not shown). If your ring bearer is young and wobbly on his feet, trade a traditional ring pillow for something with an easy-to-grip handle. This upholstered bird is sold as a favor, but it would make a perfect alternative. Finally, when you're holding an outdoor wedding, you need to be mindful of the wildlife. Rice and confetti are harmful for birds and rodents. Instead, provide your guests with beautiful sachets of birdseed to wish you well!
