Pretty Little Turquoise Reception Details

If you're ever in need of some wedding invitation inspiration, head on over to my other blog Penned & Pretty. I try to feature everything from down home DIY invitations to the most luxurious invitations that should be hand delivered on a platter. One of my favorite invitation suites that I featured was this one with envelope liners resembling map paper and the envelopes themselves adorned with vintage stamps. Today, here at tying the knot, I'm going to share with you the stunning photos from the gorgeous reception that the guests that received the invitation had the pleasure to attend. Let's start with the darling bride and groom, shall we!? And, it never hurts that this little montage include a sock and shoe shot as well as the pleasant little chapel by the sea where they tied the knot! This wedding is bursting at the seams with the most beautiful details. I am loving her bouquet, and the locket that adorns it. And how incredible is this vintage car?! These are just a few of the details from the wedding. You must see the feature by Abby of Style Me Pretty on this wedding with the scoop on all the details. See the feature here, here, here, and here.


The reception details, my friends, are so perfectly coordinated without being overly matchy matchy. I love the escort card display adorned by the sign asking "where in the world are you sitting?" Incorporating the map details repeatedly the perfect way to gather that cohesive look.

I used to love messing around with my parents type writer back in the day. I think that there is something so nostalgic and sweet about the typewriter...a reminder of simpler days, perhaps, when people could {somehow} function without a blackberry or iphone tethered to their hands. Both the vintage typewriter {love that color} and postcards were scattered throughout the reception just begging to be used to deliver a sweet note to the bride and groom.
The last picture for this post is of the gorgeous reception setting. I have a feeling brides would give their left arm for a venue like this. Talk about stunning.

That's all for now, friends. There are so many beautiful details from this wedding that it was hard to only pick a few to share. You must check out the rest of the the stunning photos and take special note of her earrings...they are a gorgeous turquoise and provide the perfect pop of color and compliment her shoes.
Have a great weekend!
