We adore the bridesmaid dresses by Adrianna Papell from Nordstrom. The champagne color goes beautifully with the soft pink and peach color palette, and intricate lace overlay gives the dresses a vintage touch. They go perfectly with the wedding … don’t you think?

Ethan and Myca had an intimate tent reception in the backyard with 50 guests. Ethan’s mom is a former florist and designed all the wedding florals. She actually designed the entire wedding from florals to favors and kept it under 2,000 dollars for all of the look and feel of the wedding! Super impressive.

For dessert they had a gorgeous cake but they also brought out home made goodies. This is a terrific idea if you are trying to keep under a budget. Ask friends and family members to contribute to the wedding by bringing their favorite treat.
