A year before the wedding, our next bride Keri blogged about her wedding on Engaged & Inspired and also on her wedding site, The East Coast Bride. With all that planning and blogging, she knew that she wanted to create a “Garden Party” affair with classic details that was whimsical and chic. As you will soon see, she more than succeed in creating a more than memorable event for herself and Daniel. Read on to hear more from Keri and see more of this pink and white garden party in the full gallery. All photographed by Cassi Claire Photography.
From The Bride
I knew I could not DIY the entire wedding myself, but still wanted to achieve that handmade look, so I scoured Etsy for the perfect heartfelt gifts. I found the embroidered handkerchief for my mom, father of the bride cufflinks, hand painted hangers for my bridesmaids and even the groomsmen ties were ordered from various Etsy shops.
Each of the programs were bound with a different cover and sewed with a flap of burlap on top. My mom and I also sewed and stenciled burlap wine sacks to display as table numbers and I used the leftover burlap to create the ‘cards’ sign that hung from the vintage suitcase a friend found at a flea market. You can purchase the programs here from East Coast Bride’s Etsy Store.
Our reception took place in an oh-so-gorgeous conservatory complete with glass walls and overflowing with plants. The conservatory is attached to an old and stately hotel and this beautiful venue offered everything we wanted to create our garden chic affair.
You can also buy these thank-you cards at East Coast Bride Event Design.

So pretty! Where were the lanterns from? I’m looking for something similar!
Hey Sarah! I’m pretty sure Keri told me that they are from Pier 1! Aren’t they awesome!? :)
Yes, Sarah! And thanks, Cassi! The lanterns are from pier one! Last I checked they were still there…

Did you see Keri’s wedding on Wedding Chicks? http://t.co/6jGWDIgS
The photographs paint a portrait of a day filled with love, elegance, class, grace and style. This was truly one of the most incredible weddings I have ever attended, and I have been to many “top dollar” wedding ceremonies and receptions! In many cases, the photos do not do justice to the occasion. Cassi truly captured it here! A wonderful job done by a tremendously talented photographer! Great job Cas!!!
