Bride Wears Her Mother’s & Grandmother’s Wedding Dress

Share

Italian inspired wedding bouquet designed by Sharon Floral Design Studio

Juliet and Mathias were friends in high school but parted ways for college. They would visit with one another in the summers and began officially dating in 2012. Fast forward a few years to their wedding in Fayetteville, Arkansas. One of the stand-out elements of the day was Juliet’s vintage dress, given to her by her mother and grandmother for the ceremony.

The simple and airy wedding bouquet designed by Fayetteville, Arkansas wedding florist, Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio complimented the vintage vibes of  Juliet’s dress ohh so perfectly. 

Keep scrolling because Juliet kept the vintage theme going with a vintage dress given to her by her aunt for the reception. George’s Tailoring & Formal Wear in Los Angeles, California , made all the wedding dress alternations.

Juliet’s Bridal Style 

Juliet’s bridal style was sophisticated and playful, from the classic shape of her gowns to the delicate embellishments. Take in all the vintage details of Juliet’s dress – including that breathtaking train. It is absolute perfection.

Juliet’s bridal party wore blush pink bridesmaid dresses that coordinated with the groomsmen’s blush ties.

Wedding Decor and Details Details

The wedding reception was held in White River Landing. Their wedding donned a sweet pastel color palette contrasted with a bright pop of yellow. Lemons were a staple piece in the reception design as they accented dining tables and exuded a cheerful ambiance. The sea of candlelight throughout added a romantic element, especially when the sun went down.

Rose of Sharon Floral Design Studio took advantage of all the lightweight summer blooms in season and mixed them in with classic garden roses. Pastel candy-colored zinnias were sprinkled throughout the reception in milky white bud vases. All the floral menagerie paired perfectly with amber-colored vintage drinking glasses against beige tablecloths for a clean and crisp look. Juliet describes her day as follows, ” It was like being on the Italian coast at an Italian garden party.”

As you all know it is so important to find a great wedding planner . Juliet formed a special relationship with her wedding planner, Bartus Taylor, and says,”All wedding coordination was done by Buzz Events. We could not have done it without them! They were amazing and brought the whole vision to life. They did all the work behind the scenes as well as the day of the wedding. Guests noticed how flawless and beautiful the day was, and that was at the hands of Buzz Events.”
