April 6, 2013 was a BEAUTIFUL day for a wedding. The sun was shining brightly, almost as if it were smiling down on Alli & Colin. The two of them couldn't have been more darling and they truly deserved the gorgeous day with which they were graced.

Alli had a vision of how she wanted her day to be - a combination of clean, modern design with sentimental, vintage elements. Her wedding colors were apple green, mustard yellow, white, and plum; however, she explained she doesn't even like the color purple....she just couldn't find any other shade for her bridesmaid dresses that she liked. So, plum it was!

To incorporate her color scheme into her reception, we opted for white table linens & mustard napkins complemented by green & white floral arrangements. For her wedding favors, Alli tapped into her culinary background and created jars of homemade vanilla sugar - delish! Bringing in some vintage & rustic touches was a dream come true. From creating a floating wall of window panes displaying the seating assignments to the family wedding photos spanning back two generations decorating the guestbook table, her wedding had a personalized flair. In addition, custom decor was created to highlight her theme - distressed wood block table numbers, mustard tulle pom poms that hung above the head table, gift tags strung on twine around the favors, and a gold glittered "LOVE" banner.

Missouri.com Vintage Styled Shoot

Back in April, I partnered with some fabulous local St. Louis vendors for Missouri.com. We were selected to showcase our talents in creating the vintage style that continues to gain popularity among current brides. I had such a great time collaborating with these women at the Lemp Mansion - not only are they hilarious and a joy to work with, their talents continually WOW me! I am amazed with the results and have been dying to share them!
