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?

Preston Bailey Wedding Invitations

Preston Bailey has recently teamed up with Invitation Consultants to create a line of exquisite invitations that "brings Preston Bailey's lavish and sophisticated designs to paper in an affordable way". Well, so the site says . . . but, to be honest, I'm not sure that $149/$199 for 25 invitations (excluding reply, response and thank you cards) can be called all that affordable for the average buyer. While I think there is a nice layout of the typography on the invitations {although nothing spectacular}, I'm not as fond of the floral graphics on them. These invitations seem a little too busy and bold for my tastes. But, I wanted to share them with you for your thoughts. What do you think of the few samples I showcase below?
