Gasp, gorgeous! These aren’t your grandmother’s silk flowers. Designer Marie Conrad of Emici Bridal is the artist behind these stunning handmade bridal accessories and I am a huge admirer of her work! Each piece is carefully made from silk dupioni, satin, rhinestones, crystals, pearls and ribbon and range from bouquets to floral sashes to ring bearer pillows and more. What a show-stopping addition to any wedding! Check out her website, blog and Etsy shop to see even more.
The couple: Alana and Nate (owners of the stylish LA boutique Number A)
The Wedding: 6.19.2010 – Evan Williams House, Lawrence, Kansas
What three adjectives that best describe your wedding? Fun, unique, memorable
What inspired your personal wedding style, and how were your personalities incorporated into your big day? We we’re inspired by The Great Gatsby and the roaring 20s. We chose a vintage gown, ring, and headwear to involve the 20s, and as for our style and personalities, we tried to customize as much as we could to show our creativity and unique tastes.
Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding? The photo booth pictures everyone left us, the food, our signature drink, laughing through our vows, our cake and cake topper, the color palette we chose, basically all of it!
