Vintage Inspired, Elegant Wedding

August 6th. 2009 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 25 comments

Today’s wedding is magic. There really is no other way to say it. It’s positively beautiful, filled with charming DIY touches that would make any bride swoon, a style that is as elegant as it is real, a bride and groom that are literally glowing. Photographed by the forever talented Meg Baisden, this wedding is one that you will fall completely and madly in love with…

From the absolutely lovely bride, Laurin…

Kenny and I began dating in high school when we were 16.  We dated throughout college and got engaged during Kenny’s third year of medical school.  Given our history, it seemed like an obvious to get married in our hometown.  After talking about it, we opted to do something we had never talked about – a destination wedding!  We felt like it would be a smaller, more relaxed affair – something that was important to us.

We decided upon Rosemary Beach, a beautiful and tiny beach town in Florida with European inspired architecture.  It has the most charming main street- all kinds of quaint, little shops and restaurants.  We also chose it because it’s close to a beach we have visited on family vacations.  (Little did we know when planning our wedding, we would be moving to Florida a month after we would be married there!)  Rosemary Beach lent the perfect atmosphere for the kind of wedding we wanted – chic, yet relaxed, sophisticated, yet inviting.  It was important that the wedding felt like “us.”

    All so beautiful, but that flower girl dress takes the cake.

    Whoever decided that bridesmaids could start wearing fancy flipflops hit the nail on the head! The 'maids more than earn a day without heels for all they do and bless any bride who sees that casual footwear can fit with their wedding theme. Gorgeous wedding!

    Where did the bride find her bracelet? I am looking for something similar and it just works so perfectly with her dress--it does not detract at all! Such a shear, simple elegance to the whole look.

  17. Sidney says:

    I am in LOVE with the bride's dress! It is absolutely fabulous. Please let us know who the designer is!!!

  18. Laurin says:

    thanks! The flower girl dress and my bracelet are from J.Crew (they make the best jewelry and the website always has tons on sale!) The wedding dress is by Nicole Miller.

  19. Sheila says:

    I LOVE the bridesmiad dresses too....Are they from J.Crew as well.....???

  20. Laurin says:

    Sheila- the bridesmaids dresses were from Anthropologie!

  21. Sarah says:

    Absolutely adore the decor! Fantastically done. Simple, elegant, and sweet. My fiance and I also have been dating though high school & college. Looks like we have similar tendencies, Meg! ;)

  22. I adore the Laurin's dress. My favourite pic is the one of her walking down the aisle with her veil in the wind.

  23. Melanie Hobert says:

    Yes without a doubt lovely and romantic. But you could say that about so many weddings. What stood out about this one were all the elements and precious details... flowers, dresses, photos, etc. wrapped up together to produce a beautiful tapestry. There was balance and variety, a deftness of hand in all the designs! Everyone looks truly joyful in the photographs.

  24. Jess says:

    Laurin ~ What is the style number for your wedding gown? I have tried to locate it, but am not having luck finding it. Thanks! You looked stunning!!
