Brandon and I met on the first day of our freshman year of high school. Our friendship grew into a dating relationship during junior year. We have happily been “Brandon and Bri” ever since, and by the time July 10, 2010 rolled around, it was surreal to believe that we had finally made it! When Brandon proposed to me in 2008, he gave me gifts representing faith, hope, and love. Since we committed to building our marriage around these core values, we wanted to also plan our wedding with these things in mind. Our wedding was a total labor of love. Brandon and I, along with my mom, and the rest of our families, poured our hearts and energy into all of the details. It was such a blessing to us to see our wonderful vendors become passionate about our wedding and pour their hearts into it as well.
Our first wedding-related decision was to get married at Brandon’s grandparents’ house on California’s beautiful Central Coast. Once we had a venue, our families went to work creating an elegant English garden atmosphere for us. Seriously, we have pictures of our parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all on their hands and knees in the dirt, weeding, planting flowers, and building stone paths. This made our wedding day feel so much more personal!
For the centerpieces, my mom and I collected milk glass and antique silver containers to hold flowers in my favorite color: pink! We scoured antique stores, flea markets, and eBay to find all the perfect pieces! Some of the other DIY projects I took on were designing all of the paper products, including our letterpress invitations, painting and altering our vintage cake topper, and even baking French macarons for our candy table! My mom and I designed the candy table together. She’d bought me my first sewing machine for my bridal shower, so making the striped candy table tablecloth was our first project! Even Brandon found ways to help. He collected all of our vintage style photo booth props at local antique stores. They ended up being a huge hit! Our day of coordinator, Danae, with Danae Grace Events, did the most wonderful job bringing together all of our details and making our wedding even better than I had envisioned!
The wonderful ladies at Down the Aisle in Arroyo Grande helped me find my Casablanca dress, and Jennifer at Something Blue helped me make it my own with her fabulous alteration skills. I hired Holly Stalder to design my lace shrug, which she made from my mom’s wedding dress. This ended up being my favorite part of my wedding day ensemble! I customized my Stuart Weitzman shoes by having them dyed bright pink, and adding shoe clips I purchased from Absolutely Audrey on Etsy. The designer of my veil was Jennifer Leigh. I found my jewelry at an antique store in Solvang, California.
My very first wedding inspiration came from Style Me Pretty! I found SMP through a non-wedding related design blog when I was doing some research for a project. This was shortly before Brandon proposed, and as ungirly as it sounds, I’d never given a thought to weddings. Style Me Pretty opened me up to the world of weddings and showed me how personal and meaningful a thoughtfully-planned wedding can be. Once I started planning our wedding, I also found inspiration through fashion and interior design magazines, Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette,” the weddings of past generations, and vintage French packaging.
Brandon and I will always look back on our wedding day as the warmest, most beautiful celebration of love and everything that is good in life. We were thankful that we chose only to invite our closest family and friends. We felt close to every guest that attended, and were overwhelmed by the love and generosity they showed us. The entire day felt like a wonderful, stylish dinner party, an absolute dream!

Love the pink! And you can't help adore the simple elegance that this wedding pulled off beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
Such a gorgeous wedding!!!! I lover her dress - I know it's Casablanca, but what is the style? Merci!
Wow--all this pink just pops! I love it, but I am especially partial to peonies!
The details of this wedding are wonderful. Absolutely love this post!
Love the "pretty in pink" theme! It's so sweet, soft and gorgeous for a wedding! Great job Panacea team!!!
Thanks so much for your sweet compliments!
Adrienne: My dress was Casablanca 1900. (It looks a little different because I had my seamstress customize it with a sweetheart neckline!)
Abby: I so appreciate this beautiful feature and your kind words. Being on SMP is totally an OMG moment for me! :)
I also wanted to add that I forgot to recognize one of our vendors, Eclair Bakery! (Thank you Jeremy for the best wedding cake/cupcakes we've ever tasted! And for being the coolest baker ever!)
Sincerely,
Brianne
OMG! It's Miss (now Mrs.) Turtle! ;-)
The wedding turned out lovely! I am so happy to see the result after the months I followed your progress! Congrats!
Love love the pink details! gorgeous wedding, beautiful bride and groom.
xoxo,
Fen
Where are the grooms men suits from? What is the fabric type and color name of the suits? Love it!
Beautiful wedding - love all the DIY details. Can you please please share your french macaron recipe? I've been unsuccessful at them TWICE now! (and I'm normally a pretty good baker!) Would love to be able to make them for favors.
Thanks!
I love me a pink wedding! This one's perfection!
I was so excited when I saw my favorite Bee's wedding! It turned out beautiful and I can't wait to read the recaps.
Awesome job everyone! Beautiful wedding. Make sure to check out Danae Grace Events' website at www.danaegrace.com!
I love, love, love the "tent" and you can always count on Corrine @ panacea to be amazing!
Pretty, Love it!
Really lovely... the contrast of the pink prettiness against some of the more rustic backgrounds is amazing.
TURTLE! Ahh it is gorgeous!! I cannot wait for your recaps on WB now!
I love the cake and bridal bouquet..The wedding table looks out of a dream
Very Beautiful color palette
Love the bridesmaid dresses!! Where are they from?
Mrs. Turtle your wedding was absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations :) Looking forward to the recaps.
This wedding has done things just right. So many pink weddings run the risk of being overdone and too much, but this has dashes of white and silver grey and it works together so beautifully. I wouldn't know of anyone that wouldn't adore a wedding like this!
Now, this is pink done right - soft and pretty, but not overkill (altho men in pink shirts is still a stretch for me), but all the other details balance the color palette so well!
Simply Extravagant: The groomsmen suits are from Banana Republic. They are a cotton/linen blend, but I'm not sure what the color is called!
Kristin: Totally! Here's the link to the recipe I use on my blog. http://www.weddingbee.com/2010/04/07/french-macarons-taking-inspiration-too-far/ (It's the last comment on the post.) Don't feel bad though, I think macarons are a serious confidence blow to anyone who considers herself a "good baker." You'll get there!
Stefanie: The bridesmaid dresses are by Watters and Watters.
Love the pink theme. Third picture with the grooms men and brides maids is amazing. Colour of the suits and dresses really complements the background and the vibrant pink. Beautiful wedding.
I love the bridesmaid's dresses! So chic and beautiful. The whole wedding is fabulous!
I have the softest spot in my heart for this wedding, I love that she really indulged in pink--it's gorgeous.
Congrats Turtle, looks like you and your family pulled it off! Can't wait for your recaps over on the Bee!
Thanks for the macaron recipe Brianne! And since I failed to mention it before, Congratulations!
