From brideside and mStarr event styling + design: Our Italian garden party soiree was a new twist on the casual outdoor garden wedding. With inspiration from Mediterranean coastal towns and Italian wineries, we wanted to showcase how a bride can integrate some DIY projects, organic florals and simple details into her fashion and décor to express her style and experiences. The bridesmaids were an important part of the overall inspiration for us. We wanted our gorgeous gals to mimic the bride’s soft style, while still wearing gowns that made them feel beautiful and reflected their individuality. The neutral tones and whimsical flower crowns from petal floral design allowed us to maintain a sense of uniformity among the diverse dress styles. Casey from Hello Love couldn’t have captured all the pretty any better!
