Okay here it is…I’ve been waiting all week for this. I had the pleasure of meeting Belinda a couple of months ago when she styled a shoot I did with Kirstin Fox of Castle Bride Couture. I had recently received my own wedding video and I decided to play it for everyone. Belinda loved it so much that she decided to hire our videographers, Monachetti and even ended up getting some inspiration from my flower girl outfits as well. She had already booked a photographer and although I was a little bummed at the time, now I know that she made the best possible choice in the very talented Duke Khodaverdian who captured the style of the event flawlessly. I’m so in love with these images and believe me, I’m tough to impress.
How fabulous is the pink veil by Kirstin Fox?
And Scott looks pretty dapper himself.
I asked Belinda a few questions about her gorgeous wedding…
Did you have a theme for your wedding? What was your color palette?
Hollywood Glam, Vintage 1930’s
Chocolate, Champagne, Blush Pink & Green
What words would you use to describe the style of your wedding?
Glamour, vintage, organic, fun, unique, simple yet elegant.
Where did you find inspiration for your detail elements?
I think Union Station itself was an inspiration. We both loved the architecture of the building and the fact that it was a place where soooo many people, from different walks of life came through on a daily basis really inspired us to have our reception there. This represented culture & diversity which we both love and celebrate in our lives. The Union Station, built in the 1930’s had so much charm and elegance to it. All we had to do was pull from what was already there and add some of our style to it. Our invitations looked like old train tickets. The chocolate and champagne colors came from the reception room itself. Blush pink was the color of my wedding dress. The green is for the organic, raw feel which we love and wanted present in our wedding to represent nature. Old black & white films, Marilyn Monroe, and bringing back a classy era with a twist of modernism & simplicity. Later it dawned on us…it’s a “Union Station”…
Check out the adorable flower girl outfits complete with pettiskirts.
