Real Wedding: Erin and Mark, II
Love, love, love Erin and Mark’s featured affair. The glowy bride, the intimate vibe, the overall elegance. There is just something really inviting about this affair, as if it were a family dinner complete with a band and some really beautiful decorations.
And the details…oh the details.
From the lovely bride…Ooh, I love Style Me Pretty! I POURED over it when I was planning our big day. Here are a few details. My friend and bridesamaid Anna Olive of Anna Stuart Floral and Event Design, did the flowers. Our cake was crafted by Fiona Booth, another friend and interior designer. Our catering was done by Terri Colello Catering along with some of our friends Tracy, Spicer, Scott and Roy who did the Pig Roast. Our fabulous band was Hot Club Sandwich.
LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOVE! Thank you so much to Julie Mikos for entertaining us and providing constant inspiration and to Erin and Mark for letting us have a window into their special day!
I love the flowers on the centerpiece! what type are they?
I would love to know about the flowers too!! I have a wedding coming up that they would be prefect for! Are they available in the winter?
I was seriously considering a pig roast for my reception but feared it would clash with the classical romanticness of the day. I'm glad to hear someone else pulled it off!
Yeah! I am so glad to see Erin and Mark's wedding featured here because it really was as amazing as it looks in the photos. They did such a great job with all the details, and it was a blast, and the crazy weather just made the day so unique and everyone rolled with it.
The prehistoric looking flowers are called Pincushion Protea - I think. I've no idea if they're readily available in the winter, but I'm sure you could get them any time of year for a price!
The pig roast was the groom's idea, and really the only thing he really wanted. It turned out great, but takes some planning so you don't end up with smoke drifting through your ceremony! Also, I think they started cooking it around 3 o'clock in the morning and our dinner wasn't until 7 pm. Some of our guests even pitched in to cut it up for serving!
i love how the bridesmaid dresses are all the same fabric but different silhouettes... can you share who made them? or another place where I could find something similar? thanks!
i love the colors of this wedding. so unique and refreshing. congratulations on your wedding!
I think this may be my favorite wedding on SMP (and that's saying a lot!). Thanks so much for sharing this. I was thinking of a similar color scheme, aand look, so I'm happy to see it come to life with so much elegance and beauty!
I'm planning on using Pincushion Proteas at our wedding in September (if the wholesaler still has any available). I found a WONDERFUL company that will ship them for free and they have been super helpful.
