Our centerpieces...

We will be using square and round tables with two types of centerpieces. One tall pave' arrangement of mostly roses accented with hydrangea. The other will be tall mini arrangements of the same floral family.
Tall rose and hydrangea pave' centerpiece on trumpet vase with hanging crystal.



3 pomander balls placed on top of vases at different heights. Pillar candles or floating candles placed at the base. Bed of rose petals and candles. These will be on the square tables.

Ambiance, ambiance, ambiance

Amber uplights and spotlighted white flower centerpieces

We will have rose pattern gobos and ambers all over the walls.

I love amber lighting, white flowers, and candlelight. It's so warm and romantic without it reading as overly trendy.

My bridal bouquet

I would like a combination of the below bouquets...

Totally love Jessica Simpson's bouquet. It was the inspiration for mine as well.

Okay so this is the bouquet I'm going for. Ivory and very pale pink roses, stephanotis, and orchid blossoms.


Diamond band, bow, and crystal brooch

This stephanotis bouquet is gorgeous. I wouldn't want a bouquet completely out of this flower though. I love the strands and ribbon though.

Simple, yet pretty and dramatic cakes

The cakes below are proof that a cake can be simple and dramatic. Clean lines with fresh or gumpaste flowers make these cakes stunning!

Donald Trump vs. Jessica Simpson (Ivory, Gold, Diamonds, and Flowers)

We've chosen our theme..."Ivory, Gold, Diamonds, and Flowers". We love the Trump wedding (the 3rd one, lol) and Jessica Simpson's wedding (her 1st one, lol). So we've decided to combine the two to inspire what we want for our dream wedding. We want a very elegant, sophisticated, and opulent feel...without it feeling like we are going "bling-bling" all over the place resulting in it feeling gaudy. We want the opulence to be somewhat understated. We are also going for a very romantic yet ritzy look as well. Below are a few pics from the Trump wedding. These photos have definitely inspired us for our wedding as well.
Floral master-mind Preston Bailey designed their flowers and decor. 10,000 roses were flown in from around the world for the event.

And you wondered what a $250,000 gown looked like...
