The inspiration for the ceremony was those paper chains we all made in kindergarten. Instead of paper, I used grosgrain ribbon which has a beautiful subtle sheen to it that I just love.
Cynthia and I made about 540 loops to achieve the effect I was going for.
I thought the effect was so pretty and magical!

I borrowed a dress from Alina Pizzano for my bride. It was a light, light, pink with a brocade texture to the fabric. I love the cut, with its sweet heart neckline and simple train.
For styling, I added a light blue grosgrain ribbon to the waist of the dress.
For her bouquet I used white ranunculus, paper whites, muscari, berzilla balls, and queen anne’s lace.
In her hair, a simple piece of aqua netting was tied into a headband.
I found this killer vintage necklace in Paso Robles after I finished a site visit with one of my brides. I love the slightly art deco feel it has and the aqua color is to die for!
