retro-lovin’ wedding ideas

Today’s retro-inspired wedding editorial from Angela Marie Events and Ashleigh Jayne Photography is absolutely darling. It’s full of fun surprises and impeccable styling details from decades past.

From Angela Marie Events – “The inspiration came from the old VW bug that was once Ashleigh’s grandfather’s car since she was dying to do a shoot around it. being that we are from the South, we also wanted country roads and natural settings. I took Ashleigh’s retro-artsy style and mixed it with my natural style plus a bit of glam.

The wedding cake is a Rice Krispy cake and the cute retro dress is a nice alternative to a traditional gown, especially with that red petticoat. I used old records for chargers and big heart balloons on the car. The floral designs by Poppy and Mint were outstanding and there are even cherries in the bridal bouquet!”
