My very best friend is getting married next June! Laken is one of the most poised, elegant, and stylish people I know, so today’s inspiration pays homage to her affection for all things simply shabby chic. Her style is laid-back but polished; for example, she decorates her room with floral hankies and antique postcards and the fabulous teacups she inherited from her grandmother’s collection. Her June wedding will be held at Spring Haven Mansion, which is practically the Father of the Bride house (amazing), and her colors are aqua and green with pale pink flourishes.

With no further ado…

From top left, clockwise:  paperdolls, mason jar suite, florals in jars, B&W shot, green-hued ties, jewels, SP bowtie, Spring Haven, pink lemonade, peonies, stripy straw, bouquet, cake, shabby chic party.

Inspiringly,

This is definitely one of the most popular Monique Lhuillier gowns, but boy, is it gorgeous!! Love love love. Thanks to The Bride Room for supplying Nashville with such beauties! {And happy Trunk Show season!}
