A Real Wedding: Heather and Kevin
Since the number one request that we have here on SMP is for Real Weddings, I thought that we could really treat ourselves to a solid week of the prettiest, most stylish weddings that I could find. Yesterday’s colorful affair was a huge hit and I know that today’s vintage chic wedding will be just as loved…
I am going to let the bride, Heather, give you a bit of detail…
From the time we were engaged, Kevin and I envisioned a casual, yet stylish, FUN backyard wedding. Being extremely family oriented, we wanted a day not only to celebrate our love, but also our relationships with those closest to us. The ceremony was held in a quaint, little old church just outside of Kevin’s hometown, and the reception followed at his family residence, in Pleasanton, California.
My cocktail length dress, embellished with raw-edged fabric and tulle flower appliqués (BCBG Maxazria), together with yellow & white polka dot peep toes (Delicious) and old-fashioned birdcage veil (www.myweddingveil.com) completed the stylish vintage feel I was going for. Our wedding party, made up of only our siblings, wore J.Crew, Banana Republic, and Vans.
So much more to come!
I think backyard weddings are SO beautiful and this is definitely no exception. Love the short dress!
Her dress is so pretty and I loved it even more when she said it was BCBG.
Absolutely gorgeous! It makes me want to have a short dress! Love the veil and hair too!
Thanks ladies! FYI the dress was under $400 at Nordstrom.
I Love that dress and cannot believe the price. I plan to get my dress from a non-tradtional source like Nordtrom too. So much cheaper than going to bridal salon and the quality per price is so much better. Thanks for sharing the info about the dress
Your dress was BEAUTIFUL! I saw it on Nordstrom's website... question though... did you add extra embellishments to it? Yours looks fuller than on the website, or was yours just fluffed up more? Thanks!
I already anwered Erin via email, but for anyone else wondering, no I didn't add embellishments, but I had Nordstrom "fluff" it the week of the wedding.
Gorgeous veil! I'm getting mine from the same spot but am curious which style & length you went with? Thanks!
I had the veil custom sized to my head. Melody is very helpful in finding what works best for you! :)
