What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day?<\/b> From the time I was a little girl, I knew I wanted a Father of the Bride wedding. I was very fortunate in that my parents have a beautiful country home with a huge front lawn to put up a big white tent. Dining tables were set with a variety of flowers in pink, blue, ivory, and pops of yellow in antique silver vases and compotes. The white tablecloths were overlaid with a soft floral print of pinks, smokey blue and sea green. The tables glowed with white taper candles in antique silver candle sticks along with mercury glass votive holders. For the bar, my dad built a beautiful white pergola in which we draped white linen sheers adorned with large floral arrangements attached to the sides. With stone steps leading up from the tent, the pergola was the focal point of the reception. Next to the bar was a terrace, surrounded by a newly landscaped floral garden, for cocktail tables clothed in the same linens as the dining tables with smaller floral arrangements in silver julep cups. One of my favorite moments during the reception was going up to the homes white balcony to toss my bouquet.<\/i><\/p>\n

Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding?<\/b> Family is very important to Alex and I, and thus, we had many of them play different roles in the wedding; from groomsmen and bridesmaids, to altar servers and readers, to ceremony and cocktail musicians. In addition, having my grandmother there to watch me walk down the aisle was one of the highlights. She just passed away last week, but it meant the world to me that she had been there to share in the joyful celebration.<\/i><\/p>\n

What piece of advice would you give to a bride planning her wedding today?<\/b> The guest list is the hardest but most important task to manage. If youre on a budget (arent we all?), keeping the guest list to a minimum is the best way to keep costs down. Also, try not to let the little things stress you out, like last minute RSVP changes, wedding day weather, finding the perfect dress, family drama, etc. This is going to be the best day of your life – you get to marry your best friend, and thats all that really matters.<\/i><\/p>\n
