Weddings are often all about the bride, but we can’t forget about her handsome prince charming! By blending richer tones with masculine details like a Styled Bourbon Bar and Mini Cigar Station, Kari Rider Events created a Styled Shoot that was gent friendly at the Chesapeake Bay Beach Club earlier this year for the Bow Ties and Bubbly Event! Mix in luscious florals from Crimson & Clover and calligraphy by the ever-talented Laura Hooper and this shoot was one for the record books!
I especially loved our naked cake that complimented the barrel table so beautifully. And one of our favorite designers, Enaura Bridal, provided the gorgeous gown that was handmade in New York City! A classic white Rolls Royce made a perfect getaway car for our newlyweds who modeled as a bride and groom!
We are celebrating this feature on Style Me Pretty Today & I’m excited to finally be able to share it with you! Woohoo!
