ADVICE FROM THE bride Shelby and Chad had a goal in mind the last seven days before their wedding: to relax and take it easy. Her advice is to get everything done a week prior to the wedding. “It was a great feeling not to be rushed and frantic the days leading up to the wedding. At that point, we just let the anticipation and excitement take over!”
THE FLOWERS To tie in with her romantic vision of blush and natural color choices, Shelby’s bouquet included a combination of soft ivory and pale peach garden roses, peach stock, with soft white ranunculus and blush astilbe with an accent of dusty miller. The stems of her bouquet, along with the bouquets of her maid and matron of honor—her two sisters, were adorned with lace fabric from their mother’s wedding dress. Guest tables featured low silver vases designed with similar flowers surrounded by silver mercury votive candles. Other tables featured translucent, tall glass vases with dark branches individually decorated with fluffy white hydrangeas.
