Wedding Inspiration | Inspired by This Blog

I adore beach weddings and this mod Destination I Do wedding shoot is no exception! The images do a perfect job of showcasing the playful dynamic between the couple and Desiree Spinner planned and designed the shoot flawlessly! How gorgeous is the bride’s lace dress? And the details on the back of it are to die for! I love that she incorporates two dresses into the wedding day with that cute shorter, vintage dress on the beach! It’s a great solution if you’re having trouble choosing between a semi-formal, vintage dress and a more formal gown. Keeping with the 60′s glam, the circular motif shines through from the table linens and ghost chairs, to the gorgeous pink and silver cake. The o mbre centerpieces and bouquets are such a stunning touch and I love the stationery by Cherish Paperie as well! Oh, and who doesn’t love a dapper James Bond style groom drinking a martini? This couple was so stylish and adorable that Destination I Do magazine even decided to use it for their cover shot on the newest issue!
