A Whimsical Gold and Pink Wedding Day

From the moment I saw Briana and Garrett’s photos, I knew that their wedding day needed to be featured. I wasn’t just drawn to her gorgeous chiffon bridal gown, the soft, blush pink bridesmaid dresses, or the rustic-chic decor, but I was in awe of the fact that when I looked through their pictures I saw real love and passion for one another. Their romantic, gold and pink wedding was a perfect reflection of them as a couple. From the picturesque outdoor ceremony and the brick-covered, industrial reception venue, it was, as Briana puts it, “like something out of a movie.”

Stunning details from the gold and pink wedding day.

Q. How did he pop the question?
A. We were nearing the end of our amazing trip in St. Pete, Florida when Garrett gave me the surprise of my life. That night, he took me to a favorite restaurant of his, The Conch. After sharing a couple entrees, drinks, and laughs he absolutely insisted we go to the beach. I wasn't really up for a late night beach excursion, but upon his insistence I finally agreed because he "needed to take pictures of the moon." We ended up at one of our usual beaches in the area, right next to our favorite dining place, Caddy's. We walked around for a while "trying to find a good angle for pictures." After a few pictures and a few laughs I said my usual catchphrase, "this is the best day ever!" Being his ever-so-charming self, Garrett took this as his opening to say, "I think I can make it better." Letting go of my hands he proceeded to get down on one knee (with me asking "what are you doing!" more times than I can count) and asked me the question that made me happier than I ever knew I could be. After wiping away all my tears (I know, cheesy) I of course said yes!

Q. What's one fun fact about you and Garrett as a couple?

A. We like to leave each other notes. On the occasions where he leaves before me or I come home just as he’s left we leave each other notes; on our chalkboard, a sticky note on the steering wheel, the bathroom mirror, and any place we know the other will see.

Q. What was it like seeing Garett for the first time on the big day?
A. I couldn’t believe how handsome he looked in his suspenders! And I’ve always loved his sly, side-like smile he does and it was (of course) the first thing he did when seeing me. It gets me every time.

Q. Why did you choose Kennedy Blue for you and your 'maids?
A. I was looking for a more whimsical dress that fit with my dream of an outdoor wedding. The Kennedy Blue chiffon gown, Avery, was everything I’d been hoping for in a wedding dress; it hugged in all the right spots and the wonderful fabric and lines flowed perfectly down from my waist giving me that dreamy look I’d been hoping for. Same goes for my blush pink bridesmaids’ dresses; it wasn’t a conscious decision to choose Kennedy Blue, but the fit of the bust on all the ladies was amazingly well done and the weight of the chiffon gave the dress a beautifully tailored look. The way the fabric was folded and tugged in certain spots made all our different body types look equally beautiful in our gowns.

Q. What was the most challenging part of wedding planning and why?
A. Pinterest makes it seem like everything is possible with DIY (spoiler alert: it’s not!) so realizing you won’t have that perfect signature cocktail to go with that perfectly made table runner was difficult. However, I later decided to complete the projects I knew I absolutely wanted at our wedding and to let the little ones go. Learning to go with the flow tremendously helped make the whole experience better.

Q. What advice would you give to other brides?
A. As much as every detail seems so important at the time, in the end it’s about enjoying yourselves. At the end of the day, you don’t have a wedding, you have a marriage. That’s what really matters.
