A Modern Fairytale with Just A Hint of Dusty Blue Magic

By The Perfect Palette - March 11, 2019 -

With event planning by Danielle Roe Events, and beautiful captures from Ashley Baumgartner Photography, today's real wedding out of Northern California comes to us with nods to classic fairytales, a magical romantic dusty blue color palette, and elegant touches that feature classic Disney elements.

Magic was abounding throughout Kara and Drew's special day at Park Winters in Winters, California. Subtle touches of sparkle were perfectly paired with the couple's chosen palette of dove grey, dusty blue, soft greenery and fresh, modern neutrals.

While guests awaited their chance to take photos with the couple and the team at Ashley Baumgartner Photography, they enjoyed delicious farm to fork bites from the onsite catering team and bubbly sips from Marv’s Bar, appropriately named after the couple's sweet rescue pup.

Designed and styled by the team at Danielle Roe Events, the use of glass and mirrored vessels paid particular homage to some of Kara’s most treasured tales of true love.

From the white felted hidden Mickey's that graced the bridal bouquet, to the custom silhouetted table numbers revealing the couple’s favorite fairytale characters and the delicately handcrafted Mickey inspired macarons from Rose Quartz Cakery, special touches delighted guests at every turn.

Additionally, the thoughtfully curated use of lush velvets from La Tavola Linen and mixed metals throughout the reception space caught the evening light and provided the perfect glittering setting for guests to celebrate to the tunes of Function 45 DJ.

While the blustery winds and dry climate made the couple's wish for a sparkler first dance impossible, Kara and Drew didn't miss a beat and dazzled in their beautifully performed first dance under their custom monogram inside Park Winter's stunning modern barn.

After the sweet couple celebrated with toasts and cake, the groom, in true Prince Charming fashion, surprised his princess with a musical performance, singing her favorite Ben Rector song while playing the keyboard.

The bride, Kara, was completely surprised and overwhelmed with emotion, as were the guests, at this beautiful tribute of their love and devotion to each other. A Modern Fairytale with Just A Hint of Dusty Blue Magic
