I know it’s supposedly a non color, but white might be my favorite color palette of all. It screams clean, crisp elegance, and when it plays out like this wedding at the W Hotel? Perfection. Every perfectly placed detail (including the bouquets made by the Bride herself) was captured beautifully by Erika Delgado, and it’s all sitting pretty right here.
From the Bride… Elan and I were friends since we were thirteen, but the romance didn’t begin until our freshman summer at the University of Central Florida. After six amazing years of dating Elan proposed and I was finally able to start planning the wedding of our dreams! The W Fort Lauderdale was the key inspiration for our modern white wedding. Lounging on Florida’s sugar-sand coastline, this Fort Lauderdale luxury hotel was the perfect combination of modern glam with a relaxed feel. We went with a white color palette with hints of pink, silver and black. Everything was elegant and shiny!
I am also a crafty lady so I tried to incorporate as many D.I.Y. projects that I could. My biggest project was making all of our bouquets. I made them each from fabric. It took some time, but it was worth it to see the beautiful end result! A couple of other hand-made pieces were the “Here Comes The Bride” sign that my little brother held before I walked down the aisle and the glitter “Mr. & Mrs.” signs at our sweetheart table.
Our wedding day was perfect. Filled with amazing people, vendors and love. Surrounded by our closest friends and family it truly was a magical day. It was beyond our dreams.
