A Colorful, Vintage Wedding Inspired by the Bride’s Floral Dress

Get ready to be swept away by a wedding that’s all about vibrant colors, vintage vibes, and a stunning floral dress that started it all!

The Vision:

Jillian and Andrew wanted their wedding to be as unique as their love story. The bride’s gorgeous Monique Lhuillier dress – bursting with colorful flowers – became the inspiration for everything. They worked with their planner, Bird Dog Wedding, to create a magical day at Mattie’s, a historic venue in Austin, Texas. Think of romantic details like vintage glassware, custom stationery, and even floral napkins at each table setting.

A Love Story with a Special Ring:

Andrew popped the question in front of a beautiful fountain in Savannah, Georgia. But the real star of the show was the engagement ring: a vintage treasure with a Thai ruby, passed down from his great-grandmother. It was a perfect fit for Jillian’s love of colorful and romantic things.

Fashion Fit for a Fairytale:

Jillian’s dress was a showstopper! The flowing fabric, colorful floral print, and delicate organza layers were a dream. And the bridesmaids? They rocked shades of baby blue, perfectly complementing the groomsmen’s dapper blue suits.

Details That Wowed:

• Food & Drinks: Guests were treated to pastel macaroons, refreshing sweet tea, and a delicious Southern-inspired dinner.
• Flowers Galore: With the bride’s dress as inspiration, you can bet the flowers were out of this world! A stunning floral arch framed the ceremony, and the reception tent was overflowing with colorful blooms.
• Vintage Touches: Retro glassware and a vintage telephone for a unique guestbook added to the charm.
• Sweet Simplicity: The cake, displayed on an antique cart, was as pretty as a picture.

Making it Personal:

The couple’s family was at the heart of their special day:

• Jillian’s aunt officiated the ceremony with a heartfelt message.
• Her brother and sister-in-law provided the ceremony music.
• Family members from all over traveled to be part of the celebration.

A Venue with a Story:

Mattie’s, their chosen venue, was once a farmhouse and is known for the peacocks that roam the grounds. The couple embraced this unique feature by incorporating peacocks into their invitations, table numbers, and even the custom crest on their stationery!

And Let’s Not Forget the Dancing! Jillian and Andrew had a blast dancing the night away to an awesome live band.

Key Takeaways:

This wedding proves that you can create a truly magical day by letting one special detail (like a dress!) inspire all the others. It’s about combining your unique story, family traditions, and a whole lot of personality!
