ELEVATED PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MODERN WOMEN BY WOMEN

Kohl Mansion is the perfect backdrop for this preppy, colorful summer wedding that is already making waves on Style Me Pretty!

Jen and Adam’s wedding is just the dose of happy we needed with a drizzly Monday behind us! Instead of romantic pastels or creamy neutrals, their wedding wasn’t afraid to showcase bold patterns and even bolder colors. Orange, light and navy blue, bright pink, crisp green, and even a little pop of yellow made up this fun palate.

Adrianna Thorne from Dream a Little Dream Events put together this fabulous fete, complete with punchy flowers and Johnathan Adler inspired accents.

The boutineers are the perfect punch of color to the guys’ grey suits! And the bright pink pairs well with the light and dark blues in their ties.  Adorable takeaways! The chevron theme runs through most of their decor, and we can’t get enough of it! Bridal beauty at it’s best! This girl knows how to keep her makeup updated and clean. Photo tip: Don’t do sparkles! They can catch the light at odd angles and you won’t achieve the right effect. The more matte all your makeup is, the better!
Can you dig those fabulous Jimmy Choos? What a stylish “something blue”!  A vintage-style brooch, some fabulous earrings, and a dreamy ‘do complete Jen’s transformation into a romantic, stylish bride. The details are flawless! We’re digging the extra fluff on her dress strap.  What an enchanting couple Jen and Adam make! I love that for this summer wedding, Adam chose to abandon the usual black and go for a grey suit, paired with a white button down and a bow tie – formal done in informal colors!  Can’t get enough of these two. They look like they stepped out of a magazine!  A closer look at more of the wonderful details that pull together Jen and Adam’s look. Natalie of Natalie Bowen Designs did the floral arrangements for this event, and that bridal bouquet is drool-worthy!  Even though grooms’ socks have become a trendy staple at weddings, we couldn’t resist snapping a photo of these color-palate-savvy blue and orange socks! Groom tradition that never goes out of style: liquid courage before the main event!
The ultimate support team: the wedding party! What a fabulously dressed and styled bunch!  Jen and Adam had their ceremony on the Kohl Mansion grounds and made it completely their own. Crystal chandeliers dangled from the trees, and pops of pink flowers lined the aisle. Guests kept cool with color-coordinated parasols provided by the bride and groom! We love what a gorgeous backdrop Kohl mansion makes for these two – such a timeless place!  So many gorgeous flowers enclose this patio space where Jen and Adam had their reception. Fortunately their color palate didn’t clash!  A bartender mixed up some enticing cocktails for the wedding guests. Fabulous flowers pop up everywhere you look!  All the reception decor has that summer fun infused in it – such happy colors!  First dances are always our favorite.  Jen’s Dad had quite the moves!  We had a blast at their colorful Kohl mansion wedding! Best of luck you two!
