Renaissance inspired wedding invitations | photos by Annabella Charles Photography | 100 Layer Cake

The folks behind this minty goodness of a shoot are taking us back to a time when Renaissance masters used pears and flowers as their muse. Their inspiration is just as pretty with a romantic theme embroidered with fine lace, dainty tree blossoms, watercolors, and antique metals. The Southern team behind it all includes the coordination of Social Graces, the styling of Everbloom Designs, the flowers of Haute Horticulture and the photography of Annabella Charles. The cake (oh, the cake…), confections, invitations, and accessories are extra gorge!

This wedding has definitely made us fans of the circular ceremony. When you see and hear from Kendel how special it was to them, and how fun it looks to be completely enveloped by friends & family as you make such intimate vows, you’ll probably feel the same way too. Their unique wedding venue, The Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn was the perfect space for their ceremony and afternoon tea. All it needed was to feel a little warmer, so they brought in a few tissue pom poms, white Christmas lights and plenty of Confetti System garland.

Kendel’s bridal bouquet recipe (gorge, right?): cafe au lait dahlias, roses, juliet garden roses, clematis, blushing bride, andromeda, astilbe, astrantia, dusty miller russian olive, sedum, ranunculus, and jasmine.

Store based registries can be nice, but isn’t it such a bummer when you realize that you can only add gifts from that one store? Creating a wedding registry is the perfect time to shop for everything you want… that vintage glassware set you hearted on Etsy, those patterned dish towels from Anthropologie, the gold flatware you’ve been eyeing at West Elm, the list goes on. Well, say hello to Astoria Road: The perfect wedding registry that allows you to add gifts from any store!

A few sweet perks that come with creating a wedding registry with Astoria Road

* Create a registry that’s completely you. Add products from any store, add your favorite charities, or even create your own gifts… ahem… a honeymoon or grad school fund.

* Straight forward design. You can feel proud to share your registry with all of your guests (no matter their web skill level). Astoria Road is easy to use and navigate through.

* Check out process is easy peasy. Guests won’t have to go through the hassle of being redirected to other stores to complete the checkout like with other universal registries. On Astoria Road, the entire transaction takes place on the website (so helpful!).

* Running over budget with your wedding planning? Here’s a little secret tip… just discretely cash-out some of your gifts. Your guests will not find out about this. You can even do it after the guests purchased the gifts. Astoria Road will ping you to ask if you still want gifts or rather get cash.

* Astoria Road is the Pinterest of wedding registries. We know, that can be dangerous, right? It doesn’t just have the look & feel of Pinterest, but also curated sample registries from which you can find inspiration and can just “repin” gifts. Here, give it a shot with the 100 Layer Cake wedding registry we created. You can “repin” anything you like from ours onto yours!

Sounds pretty awesome, right? Dan, Muse, Miki and Jake, the two founding couples got so fed up with existing registries during their own weddings, so they created a registry they wish they had themselves. So glad they did, because now you get the pleasure of registering for anything your heart desires!

Pop over to Astoria Road and get started. Now that you know you can add any item from any store, we’re sure you’ll keep busy for the next few hours!

We love it when we can tell that the photographer had just as much fun at the wedding as the guests did. It’s evident in the photos, plus it’s always great when the photographer shares a few words on how much they loved capturing the wedding. Such is the case with Amber Vickery. Here’s what she had to say about this charming vintage inspired soiree…

Everything about Ashley and Josh’s beautiful wedding at Mercury Hall in Austin, Texas made me swoon. From Ashley’s beautiful 40′s style hair do and her vintage lace wedding gown, to the beautiful florals and succulents and home made desserts. Everything was so perfect. Denise Harlan of Thee Design Wedding and Events did such a superb job. Most of all, I just loved capturing the love between these two. Their happiness is pretty contagious – I couldn’t stop smiling while editing this wedding.

Ashley didn’t carry a bouquet because she knew that her aunt gives all the brides in the family a handkerchief before walking down the aisle, so she held that while her bridesmaids held bouquets with blush garden roses, dusty miller, seeded eucalyptus and baby finger succulents wrapped in burlap and twine.
