100 Layer Cake

We know this is a bit late in the day but it’ll be a nice treat for you early risers tomorrow. Rebecca & Kreg’s autumn Alabama wedding is a nice departure from traditional wedding styling – it’s wickedly beautiful with some very enchanting seasonal colors – warm and lustrous orangey gold and ivory with just the right amount of black. The entire thing was brilliantly styled by Proper Measures, who did a phenomenal job of keeping the balance between soft and dark romance.

The bride is truly astonishing in this beauty of a dress from J.Crew. She looks like a Grecian goddess!  The hair piece and bouquets are beyond gorgeous and just perfect for the autumn theme.

White pumpkins with dark script – so elegant. Not to mention easy and useful for so many projects – you could carve them out and use them as tealight holders, poke holes in them and turn them into twinkling candle holders, or toss mini-pumpkins in a jar with river rocks like below. Beautiful.

It just wouldn’t be Halloween without the evil mini-candy bars, and that mouth-watering dessert table is seriously devilish. The lacy black cake with the Day of the Dead-ish cake toppers is definitely a favorite.

Congrats to the newlyweds, and kudos to everyone involved for a stunning and unique event.

Nicki & Roni are a cute as a button couple, and we can’t deny their wedding day was anything but. Organized by event planners (and bridesmaids!) Cait and Jules and photographed by the super duper talented Our Labor of Love, this is one event you guys are gonna love – if not for the rustic yet chic vibe, then for the irresistible personal touches brought in from their sweet love story. You see, Roni proposed to Nicki at the very same Manhattan Upper East Side post office where they first met three years earlier – hence the adorbs mail box table numbers and escort cards in airmail envelopes. Does it GET any cuter?

Let’s take a little look, shall we?

Flowers collected at the New York City wholesale market added to the whimsical feel of the day – don’t they look like freshly picked wildflowers? Simply beautiful.

Their cool invitations were a collaboration between Nicki and Roni. Roni did the design and production, while Nicki contributed the handwritten elements. Love the collaboration you too!

Oh this carriage is just perfect! Straight out of a fairytale.

Ronicki!  Love these little straw flags.

Jars were a simple but elegant theme throughout the entire event. The candlelit jars strung about the tent were planned by Cait and Jules, who reached out to family and friends to begin saving and collecting jars months before the big day. Nicki & Roni walked in on their wedding day and were completely surprised by the beautiful labor of love!

Nicki’s musician Dad gave a heart-melting performance of a song he wrote just for his daughter on her wedding day. Bonus – he enlisted the help of his 70s rock buddies to provide music for everyone to boogie down to the rest of the night.

What a fun and fabulous day! Thanks for letting us share it, Nicki & Roni, congrats and best wishes for a gorgeous life together!
