STYLE SPARK • INSPIRATION ON LOCATION
THE INVITATIONS
It goes without saying that a 25 year marriage yields more memories than a picture album could hold. We wanted to capture the very first moment though, and showcase it throughout such a happy evening. Shot as the new Mr. and Mrs. made their getaway, the sweet photo (opposite) became the inspiration for the night’s invitation suite. Part picture frame, part memory lane and part invitation, SANDI SpELLS DESIGN knocked this nostalgic number out of the park!
WHAT TO WEAR
Inspired by the EE Cumming’s poem “I carry your heart with me,” we cleverly created a boutonniere that exemplified the sentiment. First, we shrunk two of the couple’s most treasured photos to fit the dainty lockets -which we spray painted rose gold to go along with our color scheme. Navy blue ribbon fastened the two together (in an eternity knot) and kept our miniature bouquet intact. In the language of flowers, a bouquet of ranunculus means “I’m dazzled by your charms.” In our case, both literally and figuratively. Nothing says party like sequins, are we right? This navy blue dazzler from BLOOMINGDALES was the perfect party frock for the big night. And how about that corsage? There’s much more where that came from, flip the page for the dish on that pretty little thing. We couldn’t think of a more classic and contemporary brand than BURBERRY to outfit our guy for this oh so special occasion. Sterling silver cufflinks and a crisp navy tie were the icing on the cake.
