There are two awesome reasons for having a brunch wedding: bloody marys & donuts. Right? Maybe that’s why Sarah + Jake decided on a brunch wedding. Or maybe it had something to do with the three months they had to plan. Either way these two had fun with their celebration, adding pretty pink details wherever possible. And Abbey Moore definitely had a sweet time capturing their lively personalities and all the details Sarah designed herself, from the ombre escort cards to jars of herbs on the table.
We just love this idea. They had a “pin a vacation on the map” guestbook so guests could recommend places for them to visit and why.
A bit of advice from Sarah:
You may have heard this advice before, but I think it deserves to be repeated: relax and enjoy it! I planned our wedding in 3 months time, bought my dress without trying it on (prepaid & non-refundable) and allowed our bridal party to basically wear whatever they wanted. In the end, it couldn’t have worked out better. I didn’t dwell on these things and, in turn, planning was a breeze!

Love this wedding – and the way bride and groom just took things as they came.

And they got some great advice as well: Relax and enjoy.

Brunch is probably my favorite meal, so this looks really great for guests too!
really love and enjoyed everything about this wedding! great details and loved the pink.
YAY! LOVE seeing Sarah & Jake’s precious day on 100LC! So adorable…just like them.
Really love everything about this wedding! The brunch idea is really awesome. Love the pink theme!
Pure gorgeousness!!
I would never have thought of the colours and theme myself – but my God how good does it look. The bride and her bridesmaids remind me of being very Sex in the City. Love the pink – and love the wedding venue.
Beautiful wedding.. What a great theme. Awesome job and what a great attitude.. 3 months but you just went with the flow. I loved the ombre place cards and the font.. would you mind letting me know how you did those or where you ordered those… I’m planning a wedding on a budget.. only 3 months away and would love ombre place cards!
