Elegant Backyard Brunch Wedding
I think brunch weddings are the best idea since sliced bread. Seriously, morning vows followed by mimosas is about as good as it gets, and this backyard affair from WINK! Weddings and onelove photography is all the proof we need. From the bride's pale blue Oscar De La Renta to the waffle and bacon-filled menu, this is one wedding I would die to attend.
From onelove photography...This no-fuss bride has great taste. Keeping a Grace Kelly vibe for her daytime wedding, she opted for waffles and bacon for brunch at her wedding! Topping off the warm summer afternoon with a gelato truck as guests departed! Coordinated by the amazingly talented WINK! Weddings team.
From The Bride...Jimmy and I aren't stuffy people. Having a nighttime extravagant affair just wasn't us. We are fun-loving and casual...and love to spend our weekends being social together with friends and family. That's how we landed on the idea of doing an elegant brunch. Rather than spending the entire day apart, having our ceremony at 10 am allowed us to spend the most important day of our lives together and with the ones we love.
Being that our reception was held in early afternoon in a family friend's backyard, I decided to go for a short dress. I searched and searched both bridal salons and off the rack and found only reception dresses (short, beaded, fancy frocks...not what I was looking for). I realized I may need to think outside the box a bit and when I saw the pale blue Oscar de la Renta, I knew that would be perfect. It really became the backdrop for the entire theme of the wedding. We stuck to various shades of blue, pink, and orange from our invitations and signage to our flowers. One of my favorite finds was the cobalt blue cake stands that we found at Archive Vintage. They elevated the floral centerpieces and added a bold pop of color to every table!
