Dreaming of a fairy tale wedding? This gorgeous event design inspiration by The Editorial Series and Drops of Honey Designs brings a sexy and sophisticated twist to princess bridal dreams, thanks to a ruffled purple wedding dress, gorgeous still life florals, and the fine art portraits of Esther Makau Photography! This beautiful concept draws from the sensuality and style of the historical Bridgerton phenomenon, adding in a modern twist thanks to the white wedding dress alternative and still-life inspired flower arrangements!
A purple wedding dress adds romance to this Bridgerton-inspired event design filled with color
To bring the romance of Regency era England (or at least the sumptuous pastel version seen in Netflix’s Bridgerton series) to Texas Hill Country, this talented team of wedding pros envisioned a gorgeous purple wedding dress, made with the signature light as air ruffled layers of the Millia London couture gowns. The Violetta dress is a stunning white wedding dress alternative, with a full skirt of ombre purple ruffles over a daringly sheer bodice with an open back and ethereal shoulder bows. How perfect is this fine art dress to make your wedding fairy tale dreams come true!
To play off the charm of a purple wedding dress, this event design team embraced color in every detail. The wedding invitation design by Beautifully Noted added pops of mauve, pink, peach, and sunny yellow to the beautifully styled stationery flatlay. Silk tassels, wax seals with pressed flower petals, and raw-edged ribbons added gorgeous texture to the colorful yet minimal stationery design.
This purple wedding dress is magic from every angle! Whether standing at the altar with the open back facing the guests, or twirling to make the full skirt dance, the layered princess gown added a gorgeous pop of lavender color.
Lovelily Flowers created still-life flower arrangements for the ceremony backdrop, adding peach and yellow roses and flowering branches in a breathtaking arrangement behind the ceremony altar. The purple bridal bouquet picked up the ombre hues in the bride’s colored wedding dress with lilac, passionflower, and sweet peas.
Proving he is not afraid of color, the groom embraced the pastel spring palette with a pale yellow bow tie and a combination of yellow and purple for his boutonniere! The black double breasted vest added a very posh vintage look to this classic shawl collar tuxedo!
How magical are these portraits! To enhance the extremely feminine colors and silhouette of the purple wedding dress, hair stylist and makeup artist Keziah gave the bride a soft updo to show off the open back of the gown, with delicate blush touches to her lips, cheeks, and smoky eye.
The tablescape for this enchanting villa wedding was all about the romance of spring! Even rental specialists Moontower set the scene with garden chairs, perfect for the centerpieces of bud vases filled with spring flowers.
The table combined a rainbow of pastel colors, with yellow napkins, peach silk tassels, purple flower buds, and coral candles, all set on a luxurious white table linen.
To cap off the vintage sweet table and bar, Feathers and Frosting created a textured white wedding cake topped with sugar sails and fresh sweet peas. La Pera Catering from Austin, TX, served sparkling rosé in cut crystal champagne coupes to set the elegant high society scene!
