Classic Feminine Romance Weddings
it's hard not to be a hopeless romantic when planning a lavish and feminine wedding straight out of a classic fairytale dream. Whether you picture girly pearls with pastels accented in gold or giving a modern and sophisticated touch to timeless themes, a love story can't begin without the perfect setting!
From adorable storybook details to nuptials by the sea, these classic romantic Casablanca brides share the very best details of their wedding days.
Combining navy blue with adorable peach and romantic gold, Casablanca Bride Marcy added her own modern touch to her wedding details.
To further add even more of her dazzling personality by adding a mermaid petticoat to Style #2140 to create more drama and body to the skirt of the wedding gown.
Handpicked bunches of roses and hydrangea accented the table settings of Marcy's reception, giving a timeless and whimsical feel. The details of the venue, Black Rock Country Club, tied the whole look together with white wood panel details.
Casablanca bride Lindsay also chose peach pastels for her nautical inspired wedding! To match the glistening seaside scenery, Marcy added glittery and glamorous details, giving a dash of glitz to the soft and sensible pastel tones of her wedding day.
Lindsay wore ball gown Style #2143, detailed with an exquisite beaded bodice and tulle skirt, giving the bride an appearance of a fairytale princess.
The venue helped enhance the romance in the air with the warm and welcoming wooden tones in the architecture, making the white table settings and seats pop with sophistication. Lastly-- is there anything more classically romantic than blush pink roses?
Speaking of blush pink-- Mina's bridesmaids looked breathtaking in their floor length sheath gowns. This soft pastel color photographs wonderfully when put beside the hues of green pasture and a blue sky with a sleepy, setting sun.
Under the old, aged branches of acacia trees, Mina exchanged vows with her beloved in Casablanca Bridal gown Style #2168 from the Verdant Visions collection. Accented in adorable lace appliques this strapless wedding gown was the perfect match for an romantically intimate outdoor wedding.
Achieving a look and feel of classic romance is easy-- whether your idea of a romantic setting is an intimately picturesque ceremony in nature, or a venue that exudes historic elegance in the details of its architecture. Try approaching the specifics of your wedding colors and reception space as complimentary elements to the bigger picture of your personalized love story. You'll be surprised by how much adding minor ornate details in any shade of gold can tie the whole look together with a special storybook feel.
With an eye for luxury, Casablanca bride Rebecca chose Style #1975 from our Exotic Escape Collection for her classic romance wedding. Detailed with genuine Swarovski Crystals, pearls, beads and silver backed sequins, the lace appliques on delicate Point d'esprit gave her the perfect look of romance.
Many brides have also incorporated nostalgic details from their favorite storybook romances to their wedding details. Take Casablanca bride Ashley for instance-- her Disney inspired wedding details will have you recalling a tale as old as time.
In fact, Ashley took a thematic idea from each of her favorite Disney love stories throughout her wedding:
The groom got ready in a library (Beauty and the Beast), the ring bearer carried the rings in a shell trinket box (The Little Mermaid). the bride wore Cinderella perfume and diamond slippers (Cinderella), the flower girls carried wands (Fairy God mothers from Sleeping Beauty), the guest book table featured Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts (Beauty and the Beast) Our Reception theme was “Be our guest…” (Beauty and the Beast) the seating chart was in disarray, and the wedding cake included painted roses with a hidden fondant paint brush and Mickey ears (Alice in Wonderland).
Taking a modern romantic approach, Ashley chose Style #2169 from our Verdant Visions collection as an elegant juxtaposition to her classic romance wedding.
"The gentle light lace zipped up enchantedly. As I turned and looked into the mirror, I knew in that very moment...that it was the one. It was the one Joe would love, the one that he would tell me- "...you have to get that one". I felt so beautiful. It was effortless and stunning. It was elegant, unique, modest yet sexy, and most importantly for me, realistically comfortable."
