A Modern, Traditional Wedding, II

This wedding is all about the chic. Being an SMP reader, the gorgeous bride pored herself into the details, making sure every element was thoughtfully designed and that there were unexpected touches all along the way. She designed a wedding that was as stylish as it was personal…fulfilling my every SMP dream to perfection!

Here are some little tidbits from the bride, Audra…

Songs for the processional were a little different and included The Luckiest by Ben Folds for the mothers/grandmothers, Explosions in the Sky’s “Your Hand in Mine” was for played for the wedding party march, and “Fix You” by Coldplay was the processional for myself.

The flowers were all DIY put together by the wedding party the night before the ceremony. The W in the rings picture was also the cake topper and was a vintage metal letter I purchased at Three Potato Four.

My mothers high school prom clutch was my something old along with my grandmothers pearl ring as my something borrowed, and I wore those flowers in my hair for the reception which I purchased from Nomsa.

The DIY bridesmaid gifts that included a screen printed bag for each of them, flip flops that matched their dresses for dancing at the reception. Anthropologie mugs and other little trinkets.

   You have inspired me to do my own flowers and ponder using that AWESOME shade of green in my own!

   Absolutely gorgeous affair! If anyone could tell me where the bride got her vail from I'd really appreciate it. I've been looking for a long vail like that and haven't been able to find one that i really like. Thanks!

   I love her belly bands. I have been pondering for a week or so now what to put on mine and I love the elegance of hers and the 3-D look it gives with three colors in different widths of stripes.

   Hello V:
   I actually purchased the totes at a local craft store and screen printed them myself. But an even cheaper alternative is to buy freezer paper and use an exacto knife/stencil to cut out the letter, iron them onto the bag(they will stick and you can peel them off once youve painted) and use them to paint on the bag.

   I think the link for the letter should be www.threepotatofourshop.com. The other one goes to a food delivery service (which is lovely I'm sure!).

   Beautiful wedding!

   I love your ideas. I actually just checked out the venue you had yours at and love it so when I jumped on this website I was pleasantly surprised. If you would not mind sharing other photos with me I would be very grateful. I love your style and we are going for the same feel! :)
