Blue Ombre & Sage Advice

From Erica J Photography: Jacob and Ashley’s wedding was filled with classic elegance but with a modern ombre watercolor inspired twist. Keeping true to the ombre theme, the bridesmaids wore dresses in subtly varying shades of teal.From the Bride: The wedding planning process is just the beginning of merging your desires and wants with (your soon-to-be Husbands). Don’t forget to ask for his input and allow him to put his own special spin on your wedding day

DIY Watercolor Details

Ashley, the bride, handcrafted several of the details, including the ombre escort cards, table numbers, and guestbook table sign to add a personal element to the decor of the day. To give a touch of whimsical elegance, the bride chose to keep all of the florals white, but with a flowy construction.

Ombre Cake & Carriage Ride

Such a fabulous ombre cake to go with this gorgeous watercolor inspired day, but what dropped our jaws was what came after the cake cutting. Jacob and Ashley rode away from their beautiful reception in a horse drawn carriage that was straight out of a fairytale!
