Faux Wedding: Late Winter Romance

18 comments posted SEE MORE: Faux Weddings

For the first day of March, nothing seemed more fitting than this romantic, elegant, pretty-in-pink photo shoot. The palette of pink and gold is so perfect for this time of year, standing right on the edge of winter peeking over into spring.

I always love some pretty paper by Rifle Paper Co., don’t you? This invitation seems particularly sweet to me.

Is that dress not one of the most gorgeous things you’ve ever seen? It’s almost like gold confetti!

Gold candlesticks, gold utensils, and gold rimmed china accent the sweet pink and cream table. And who doesn’t appreciate macarons at their seat?

Tea parties are one of my favorite things ever! Today’s photo shoot, designed by Easton Events and photographed by Eric Kelley, is full of soft, sweet, feminine details. It reminds me a little of my Tiffany Blue and Tangerine inspiration board!

I love a lady in a top hat!

Southern Weddings Sneak Peek

I’m so sorry for disappearing on Friday – I had a raging headache that was more interested in a dark, quiet room than in a link round-up. Which just means that this week’s Friday post will have more fun links than usual! But first, we have a week of beautiful posts, starting with this sneak peek from the latest issue of Southern Weddings…
