Style: Casual
Casual, Rustic, and Elegant
Yep, that title is so full of contradictions it almost didn’t make sense. But once you browse through the album, you’ll totally understand what I meant. Because one amazing thing about this wedding is that even though our bride only had a casual and rustic event in mind, they achieved these goals plus an elegant style too. It’s probably because all the details, decors, colors, ensembles, and the location came together so well that they ended up with such an awesome looking day. Congratulations Katie & Clark!
Glass Pavilion Bridal Shower
The origin of the custom of bridal showers is probably one of the most selfless thing I’ve ever read about friendship. This tradition is said to have started due to the dowry practices imminent before. For when a bride-to-be is poor and her family does not have enough money for a dowry or when a father refused to give a dowry because he did not approve of the marriage – that’s when the friends would swoop down and save the day coming with gifts that will allow the marriage to happen. Right now, bridal showers simply celebrates your relationships with your entourage with a simple meal (compared to bachelorette parties which means a whole night of partying). But given that opportunity I love how our bride, Katie, made sure that the girls in her life are treated specially with this amazing museum bridal shower in pink. The centerpieces, the table setting, and the favors are all so delectable and pretty that it might even be perfect for a wedding too.
New Orleans Engagement Shoot
New Orleans – dubbed as the most unique city in the United States, it’s no brainer why this couple chose this as their location for their engagement shoot and the place where they will reside. The culture, the history, and the festivals are what made NO infamous and although we didn’t actually see a huge chunk of it in this session, there are still some snippets of what this city has to offer. Besides, with this beautiful couple being the subject of the pictures, you can’t really help it but the background all becomes a blur. Still, it was such a charming and lovely day for an engagement session. Congratulations Elizabeth & Jason! And happy Valentine’s Day to you or Elegant Wedding readers…
