ROMANTIC, COLORFUL WEDDING IN SPAIN
It was such an honor to assist Jen, her bridesmaids and Mom with their wedding fashion for Jen and Jake’s romantic, colorful and elegant outdoor wedding in Toledo, Spain.
I originally met Jen when she was a bridesmaid in another of my wedding dressing service client’s weddings in Tampa, Florida. Jen was excited for a destination wedding, but needed assistance in selecting all of her bridal looks and also needed assistance in pulling together mix and match bridesmaid dresses in bright colors for her sisters. Jen’s Mom also needed a stylist’s eye in selecting her mother of the bride looks for both the welcome party and the wedding.
Color and romantic details were important to Jen in all aspects of the fashion! Jen ultimately chose a strapless wedding dress with 3 dimensional floral appliques and matching guantlet sleeves from Mira Zwillinger. She completed her look with a long romantic veil with a touch of floral that matched her wedding dress.
After a few color story changes, we settled on mix and match bridesmaid dresses in bright shades of pink and red. I worked with Jen’s sister to assist them in finding dresses that were best for their body type in colors that were flattering to their skin tone.
It was important to Jen’s Mom that her dress worked within the color story, but she wanted to be comfortable and for sleeves were a must. We worked with Monique Lhuillier to customize an evening wear dress that perfectly fit her vision. We paired her dress with the perfect accessories that were fun and festive, but not too formal.
The wedding ceremony overlooking the Toledo countryside in front of a sprawling tree and featured a stunning floral aisle lush greenery and flowers in every shade of pink and red. The open aire cocktail hour featured lush floral arrangements of pink and red blooms.
Some of our favorite photos are from the sunset stroll the newlyweds took through the resort’s gardens. I believe that every couple should take a few quiet moments alone on wedding day to soak it all it. We also adored the shots of Jen and Jake cutting their wedding cake with a giant sword!
For her disco themed reception, Jen changed in a white mini dress with silver sparkle detail to dance the night away in!
Every detail was perfectly planned and executed by Elegant Occasions by Joanne Grigoli (the queen of destination weddings) and expertly captured by Chris J. Evans.
Thank you so much to Jen and her family for allowing me to ensure that the fashion for this very special wedding weekend was exactly what you envisioned. It was my pleasure to ensure that you looked and felt beautiful!
