One thing I know to be true in my years of curating wedding features… pink and pups are two things you babes love. Without fail, our Instagram account blows up when we put little sweeties like this in the spotlight. But once you are able to come down from the cuteness high—I urge you to soak in this full editorial from Ashley Rae, Ashley Baumgartner and Bloom + Blueprint, doused in pink—because it’s the perfect blueprint on how to add a “pop of color” into your Big Day design.
“Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways”. ~Oscar Wilde
Hidden between the lush greens and desert tones of the Royal Palms Resort laid a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. The perfect mix of soft and vivid tones. A high end colorful yet classic experience for the bride, Brittany, to tie the knot with her beau, AJ. Designed by Ashley Rae Photography for our 1:1 mentorship, this styled wedding editorial featured a feminine, ombre effect to appeal to even the most elegant bride. The team wanted to create a design that took classic feminine elements and integrated a pop of color, to show brides that they can add color to their perfect wedding day. More than just an accent of blush here and there.
Bloom and Blueprint created a stunning floral display for the bride and groom’s ceremony and reception backdrop, not to mention the perfect ombre tabletop centerpiece sure to make any bride swoon. The lovely, classic table was adorned with white cross back chairs from Bright Event Rentals that needed a pop of color as well. Chiffon draped off the guests’ seating arrangement, adorned with with an ombre pallet of floating florals. Ombre florals also adorned a beautiful cake by Maeflour Cakes and their champagne flutes.
The bride wore a stunningly classic gown from Schaefer’s Bridal and opted for Hollywood glam, classic-chic look by Kensington Makeup. Combined with her groom’s classic look from The Black Tux and a glam pair of pink Christian Louboutin heels, the two were ready to tie the knot, and cuddle several adorable French Bulldog puppies from Frenchies and Flowers. The puppies, Gigi, Theo and Bri were adorned with blooms from Bloom and Blueprint as they escorted the bride and groom throughout their wedding day. Because the perfect day wouldn’t be complete without puppies!
