I think it’s safe to say that I am absolutely head over heels in love with this gold glitter and blush wedding from Concept Photography! Black and white stripes paired with blush and glitter, plus floral crowns and amazingly personal details… these things are most definitely the way to my heart. And when you add in romance, an ethereal feel, and a bit of modern style, you have what I think might be one of the most fabulous weddings ever…

From the bride, Ali:

What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day?

Planning: My Planner, Brittany. Ryan and I live in San Francisco, so planning a Florida wedding came with it’s own set of challenges. Brittany was really helpful in guiding me with vendors, keeping me on a timeline and organizing all of the day-of details. 

Day-of: My Bridesmaids…they allowed me to feel present. We just had so much fun that day that I forgot about all the nerves!

What was the most important thing to you when deciding who to work with for your wedding?

Knowing that they understood what our vision was. I feel very lucky because all of our vendors were AMAZING! I cannot say enough great things about them.

What was your inspiration for your wedding details and/or design?

Romantic and ethereal, but also modern and fun! We wanted to own a lot of the details as opposed hiring someone to create every aspect for us. I was a crafting machine, but I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Ryan might have! ;)

What was your favorite thing about your wedding?

Having all of our family and friends in one room. There is a good chance that it will never happen again, which made it all the more special. (We also really loved our flowers. They were incorporated everywhere… from the floral crowns that the bridal party wore and the unique large table arrangements to the surprises of air plants + succulents and the fun small arrangements in eclectic containers.)

What is your best piece of advice for other brides?

Don’t get caught up in the trends or gimmicks, but rather celebrate what will be looked back on as a representation of the couple that you are. Stay true to who you are and what you love!

Best advice ever! I love that Ali and Ryan made sure to stay true to themselves and their own style. It’s great to be inspired by other weddings, but when it comes down to it, it’s important to make sure your wedding is truly going to be yours. 

Ali and Ryan used stripes, gold glitter, and fun starbursts in their wedding decor… are you planning on using any particular design elements for your own wedding? I would love to hear!

What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day?

My wedding planner, Ngoc Nguyen Lay, was the one person who really helped me throughout the whole entire process. Without her I wouldn’t even know where to begin on planning a wedding. You really dont realize how much goes into planning a wedding.

What was the most important thing to you when deciding who to work with for your wedding?

The most important part in choosing a wedding planner for me was – do we work well together, does she understand what we want? It is easy to say price point matters, but it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t understand what we want and we cant get along. I have heard some horror stories so I am very thankful Ngoc was so easy to work with. She really listened to our wants and needs and helped us make the right decision for us.

What was your inspiration for your wedding details and/or design?

My inspiration- I wanted something clean, simple and classic. I always knew I wanted the classic color theme- black, red and white with a modern twist to it. With a November wedding, the colors were just right!

What was your favorite thing about your wedding?

My favorite part of the wedding was my father daughter dance. It was so much fun planning and practicing it with my dad. I loved everyones reaction when they realized it wasn’t your typical father daughter dance.

What is your best piece of advice for other brides?

My advice to all brides is to really enjoy the process. It may be stressful but its so much fun at the same time. Most girls dream of their wedding day, so take time to enjoy it. It only happens once. I missed the planning as soon as it was over.

I love the whole design of the sweetheart table… that paper flower backdrop is absolutely amazing!

Will you be having a sweetheart table, or are you going the route of a head table? What are your plans?

Okay, that cake looks AMAZING, don’t you think?! My anniversary is coming up soon, and if I can’t have a fabulous photo shoot like this to celebrate, I’ll at least settle for some of the cake! But really, I just love everything about this romantic wedding inspiration. This look would be perfect for a wedding taking place anywhere, at any time of the year! It’s just pure gorgeousness.

How about you- what do you think of this inspiration? Could you see this design fitting in with a particular season?

What was the most important thing to you when deciding who to work with for your wedding?

Eye for detail and creativity.  We selected vendors that matched the style and elegance that we were trying to capture.

What was your inspiration for your wedding details and/or design?

The inspiration started with the centerpieces, which actually was an idea that came from my mother.  The two of us were shopping one day and we came across these gorgeous and simple driftwood pieces with succulents wrapped around the edges. From that point, I knew the theme would be rustic elegant garden party, if that makes any sense :)

What was your favorite thing about your wedding?

Having my family plan and participate in Afghan wedding traditions during the reception for all the guests to observe and enjoy, like placing henna on our hands and the aina musaf ceremony (mirror ceremony).  It was such a special and fulfilling moment to see the blend of our families and cultures.

What is your best piece of advice for other brides?

With the advent of Pinterest and other websites, it is so easy to get carried away with planning decor and other details to the very last minute.  Try your best to pick out your theme and design early and then stick to your decisions. Making last minute changes will drive you crazier than you need to be. 

Oh I love Sophia’s advice to stick to your decisions! I know it’s always so tempting to change things when you find something new you like, but I definitely agree that last minute changes will just be too much work in the end.

I love how peach is subtly incorporated into all of the decor. How will you be incorporating your wedding color? In a subtle way like this wedding, or in a more bold manner?
