The “Nod to Cinderella” concept came together when Kortney and I were fawning over the newest Cinderella movie. We both loved the beautiful architecture, romance, European influence, and the ethereal feel. With a modern twist to this classic fairytale, we pulled together a new design of a Cinderella story that could inspire our brides today!
While taking inspiration from heavy, vintage fabrics, blue and cream color palettes, and the warm glow of candlelight, we were able to create this dreamy wedding design. Historic Shady Lane was an easy choice when we were looking for a old European styled venue. The crumbling, stone staircase, glass house, and wild ivy were elements that we definitely wanted to take advantage of.
The wedding dress is, of course, the centerpiece of any special day.
