Inspired by Preston Bailey : Wedding Inspiration where Urban Glam Meets Modern City

Get ready to be inspired with stunning pops of color and the ultimate in classy style.

This styled wedding was designed to inspire all brides, in particular curvy brides, and to provide styles that can be worn at the wedding and the celebration afterwards. It features the spectacular floral designs from Maribel of EightTreeStreet and gorgeous snapshots from Photography by Amy Nicole. Renown plus size model Jessica Likas showcases two gorgeous gowns from Fabulous Frocks of Alexandria {the St. Patrick Bridal collection and Enzoani collection}. The groom model added a slick modern touch with the monochrome navy suit and shirt accented by a pop of cerise on his tie. The styling in the loft venue was inspired by Preston Bailey and features linens from the Preston Bailey Collection at Nuage Designs Inc to style the luxe tablescape with a urban node.

The first gown showcases a delicate illusion back gown from the St. Patrick Bridal collection with a drop waist accentuated by gorgeous beading. The second gown was more frilly and modern with a delicate razor back from the Enzoani collection, perfect for a glam urban bride. The bright pops of color included a cheery mix of navy blues, pinks, cerise, yellow and touches of lavender, with touches of gold and champagne. The flowery bridal bouquet included long and luxurious French ribbon. The overall setting for this styled wedding features a lavish tablescape and a sweet modern ceremony space. And, lastly, what city girl doesn't love getting around town by bicycle? Aren't the flowers on the bride's bike the perfect extra decor accent?

How to Create an Urban Glam Wedding {Styled Shoot} in Red and Dusty Blue

With the 4th of July holiday coming, this styled shoot for an Urban Glam Wedding in red and dusty blue is the perfect showcase. It was photographed beautifully by Misha of Lavishly Lux Studio and I'm in LOVE with all the sparkle! Just check out these great ideas to bring the Urban Glam into your wedding.

Unique Ideas to Create an Urban Glam Styled Wedding

1. Think outside the box when it comes to a wedding dress - consider a bold color with LOTS of sparkle and glam
2. Bring in unexpected elements and texture into your wedding bouquet {like dusty miller, thistle and the ever romantic roses}
3. Go sparkly with the garter too
4. Display the monogram of the wedding couple with metal letters for the perfect Urban touch

Glam Floral Chic Wedding Ideas in Pink, Black and White

Bird's Party Magazine has released their Spring issue and it's filled with so many wonderful ideas for the spring season. In this new issue, there's a wonderful styled wedding table setting in hot pink with black and white stripes {makes me think of Kate Spade}. The design for this tablescape was inspired by seasonal blooms and boasts stunning ideas for both the eyes and tastebuds. PS: Be sure to check out all of the Bird's Party Printables and Party Supplies - you can save 20% right now with code LUCKY.

My favorite ideas from this glam wedding + dessert table include:

1. The large "Best Day Ever" poster behind the dessert display
2. The single bloom on the top of the cake with the striped ribbon along the bottom. Prefer to place an everlasting bloom on your cake? You may like this clay peony cake topper.
3. The white milk glass bowls for the dessert display - they match the white ruffled cake stands
4. The glitter bows instead of ribbon around the "spread the love" favor jars
5. The black pom-pom topped drink stirrers
