Real Wedding: A Beach Affair

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

It’s been a while since we’ve published a wedding related post here at BonBon Rose Girls. The hubs and I are celebrating our fourth anniversary tomorrow, so thoughts of weddings have definitely crossed my mind once or twice lately.

I thought it would be fun to give you a glimpse of a gorgeous real life wedding. The couple in question are our friends Lauren and Jim. They had a lovely, intimate affair at the Postcard Inn on St. Pete Beach. Some of the beautiful details from their special day included pale pink and cream roses, bunting, a vintage valise and flickering lanterns hanging from the trees. Their enchanting nuptials simply spelled romance! Get ready to swoon lovelies!

Oh gracious, i love that veil she’s wearing & that gorgeous brooch in her hair. Would love to know if those cakes are homemade too. Such a pretty wedding!

Happy 4th Anniversary to you & your hubby, Kristin! Many blessings for so many more years of love & joy to your sweet family.

@Ally Garner,
Thanks for the compliment. I loved the veil and the brooch was from an antique store I found. The cakes were not homemade but were from one of the best bakeries in Tampa, Wright’s Gourmet, and we found it was cheaper to do them that way, plus they looked more vintage.

Oh my! Love the brides veil and hair clip – it definitely stood out to me. And the dress, I’m drooling, love it! I really like the 3 individual cakes rather than one. Looks like a fabulous wedding reception. Congrats to your friends.
