Thank you so much, Kacie, for sharing your gorgeous day with us! The vintage charm is just about as pretty as it gets, and I am sure that your vision has inspired many others to create a similar look for their own weddding!

I wanted to share a few more images and details from today’s featured wedding…

From Kacie…

My husband Brandon and I were married on July 12,2008 in the garden of my parents’ beautiful wine country home, standing right where they stood during their wedding ceremony 27 years ago, surrounded by 100 of our dearest friends and family. We wanted to create an intimate, hand-made, elegant, free-flowing, graceful, and vintage-inspired wedding…kind of like a modern-day Gatsby garden party. My childhood home, which is full of family history since my dad actually purchased it from my grandparents when I was a little girl, was the perfect setting.

Without question, my favorite days on Style Me Pretty are those where readers send in Real Weddings based on inspiration boards that we’ve featured in the past. So, when Kacie sent me pictures of her own recent wedding and the board that started it all, I changed the direction of today’s post!!

Kacie designed an inspiration board for on of our contests a while back. Here it is…

And here is how her insanely gorgeous wedding turned out…

photographs are all taken by Kacie’s childhood friend, Dawn Heumann, and her sister in law Lisa Dick

When I was swooning over the Stephanie James dress from earlier today, I decided to check out her blog. Needless to say, I spent WAY too long drooling over her incredible, 50’s inspired creations….

How beautiful are these dresses!?!? Stephanie’s blog is filled with amazing creations, you absolutely have to check out. Even more exciting, she features tons of pretty awesome head pieces and accessories…

Here are a couple more wedding dress pics from the oh-so-talented girls at Anna Be in denver…

Christina by Junko Yoshioka

Layer upon layer of French lace – it literally made us cry when we saw it for the first time it’s so beautiful! There’s a touch of velvet at the empire line, a small detail that just pulls the entire look together.

I am so excited that the girls from one of our favorite Little Black Book shops, Anna and Breanna of the beautiful bridal boutique Anne Be in Denver, is offering up her ideas and inspirations in wedding dress trends! Let’s get right to it!

From Anna and Breanna…

As owners of a bridal boutique in Denver, we are lucky enough to spend our days poring over magazines, meeting with designers, and attending fashion shows. The three trends that we are just loving in bridal gowns right now are texture, fabrics, and details. They are a modern way to infuse a little sophisticated style without going too trendy. After all, no one wants to look back on their pictures and have the equivalent of the 80’s pouf!

Stephanie Land, the photographer behind these beautiful photographs, is working on getting me some more images that haven’t already been published…but, in the meantime, I wanted to share a few more that I did have!

More details…

*Jelsen is a designer and designed our invites himself. My only request was that he would use the Kraft paper, because I love the organic look of it. Our RSVP cards where postcards that guests returned with messages written to us. It was great because every day we would receive postcards from around the world. (Norway, Germany, Italy, U.S etc). The envelopes where handmade by a stationer in Chicago, Amber Favorite.

Words can’t describe just how much I love this wedding. Sent to me by Stephanie Land, the whole day just seems so dreamy! The couple, Jelsen and Bahareh, have some seriously great taste…throwing a party that anyone would be lucky to attend in Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan…

Some Details From Bahareh

*The theme was cherries and honey and we tried to carry that over the entire wedding. (Jelsen proposed to me in the Cherry garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden).

I loooooove what Sarah Perlis is doing. Her jewelry is absolutely breathtaking. What I love even more though, is that she is now offering clients a chance to design their own custom wedding rings…

Couples can come into her studio and work with Sarah from concept on, to design a ring that is completely unique and one of a kind. How great is that! If you aren’t in the NY area, she also has an absolutely gorgeous array of jewelry on her website…

One of our readers sent me the heads-up on this great jewelry designer out of Austin, Ornamental Things…

I am a sucker for anything gold, and anything handmade so these little gems were a no brainer…especially because they pair vintage recycled jewelry with new closures and such. I think the lockets and the charm necklaces would make such beautiful bridesmaids gift. They would also be the perfect sentimental gift for your mother or grandmother.
