In the spirit of our newly anointed President Obama and the 12 inaugural balls he and First Lady Michelle are visiting tonight, I wanted to create a patriotic inaugural ball wedding. Using our flag's beautiful colors but in a polished way, let's look at the wedding I've put together for our bride and groom.
Starting the day, the invitations our couple sent. This set I found on Bellis Blog is very chic, very simple, but really nicely portrays the red, white, and blue. It's really lovely.
As our bride gets ready, she dons her lovely ballgown wedding dress by Alita Graham. Next, her jewelry. She slips on her lovely bracelet by Chanel and earrings by Brian Danielle. Next, her engagement ring (by Jewelex New York), soon to be joined by the matching wedding band. *Sigh*.
Last, our bride slips on her blue and red Christian Louboutin pumps. So cute!
Now that the bride's dressed, our bridesmaids are at a flutter! On go their red satin evening gowns and matching Valentino pumps. As the bride's gift to them, red ruby flower earrings.
Meanwhile, our groom and groomsmen are getting ready in their black tuxes with royal blue vest and matching tie. Everybody's ready to go, and off to the ceremony. Along the aisles, beautiful arrangments of blue flowers with white ribbons. Down the aisle comes the bride with her red, white, and blue bouquet. *Fun fact! In late 1986, the rose was named the "national floral emblem" of the United States!
Congrats to the bride and groom! Off to the reception! The tables are beautifully set with a dominate red and accent blue. The ceremony was full of blue, so the reception is pulling in the other bright color of the flag. Beautiful bright red carnations make a mound of red to brighten the white linens.
Time for cake! This beautiful cake (from Martha), is a dream of white, with the tops making a 'basket' for red and blue fresh berries. What a fun way to use the red, white, and blue colors!
Our guests have had an amazing time, and in parting thanks, the bride and groom have supplied a variety of red, white, and blue bound journals for their thoughts as the county and the couple step into a bright new future in America!
