Diane L Wedding Ensemble Sneak Peek

Something old - something new - something borrowed - something blue - and we all know how little time there will be to acquire everything!

With her permission, here are the ensemble items recommended for Diane L's upcoming wedding ceremony.

Please note: If we put together an ensemble showcase for your wedding, we will only publish a sneak peek for you with your written permission. Please read The Wedding Lass' privacy policy at the base of this lens for further details.

Update: We should be receiving photos from her reception and a note in about a week, she says!

Setting the Scene 

Diane describes herself as a traditional 'lacy' girl, but likes the occasional bold color statement. She expressed a desire for a dress without 'too much flair' - simple classic lines. She enjoys just a hint of glitter and wanted crystal jewelry and hints of lace.

Although she enjoys cut flowers, several in her family have allergy issues, and she wants to make sure that her florals don't cause difficulties (we've proposed several silk floral alternatives and smokeless candles for the reception).

Her color palette is shown to the right - a medley of ivory, orchid and wine. She settled on that palette after determining that her personal color season is Spring (shown below), perfect when we consider her red hair, green eyes and pale skin.

She is planning a late Spring wedding in a temperate climate, with a chapel ceremony and an 'indoor-outdoor' reception.

Her flowers of choice are orchids, and we've proposed a series of silk flower alternatives. We'll go live flowers for corsage and boutonnieres, rose petals for flower girl, and silk for the ceremony and reception arrangements and centerpieces.

A stunning silk floral arrangement pairs milky white magnolia with exotic lavender pink orchids. The result is an expo in modern style. Nestled in a shallow pool of hardened acrylic water and black beach pebbles, these silks provide high fashion amid minimalist décor, and high fusion in traditional.

A footed glass dish of clear acrylic and gravel hosts two peaceful stalks of lush silks. This silk floral accent of mini orchids in sugary white and cream is a poignant piece for complementing any contemporary décor.

Ensemble Jewelry 

the gems that spotlight and enhance


Delicate Austrian crystals nestle at the throat and gently upon each ear, winking demurely from beneath a softly draping veil. Whatever jewels you choose must not be allowed to overshadow your gown.

Her Hair Accessories 

combs, pins, tiaras, wreaths and much more


Combs, pins, tiaras, wreaths - accessories that enhance your style beneath a veil or in place of it.

Dainty clusters of pearls and crystals are a feminine way to dress your modern hair. Grouped together or scattered throughout your hair, each is designed to catch the light and give just the right amount of shine. The three prong pins ensure they'll stay put even after a night of dancing. Each set includes three hair pins.

Her Veil 


Choose a veil that augments the gown you've chosen, your body type, facial features and, of course, your dream.

Their Wedding Cake Topper 

We proposed two choices, each with an elegant porcelain look


Doves are a classic wedding day symbol because they mate for life and this traditionally styled topper is meant to symbolize love, peace, unity and fidelity. At just 4" tall this is an understated way to decorate your cake and looks great on its own, or surrounded by flowers or icing. Base measures 2.25".






Our two doves perched atop a heart are an elegant symbol of love and peace for your cake top. The subtle matte white porcelain is beautiful on its own or surrounded by fresh flowers or icing. Each topper measures 7.25" tall. Base is 3.75 wide.

Their Reception Favor Bags 

A touch of Victorian ivory lace in the theme


When presenting gifts and goodies to guests, the presentation is often as important as what's inside! This "lacy" little bag makes a great first impression for giving candies, nuts, bath salts, wildflower seeds and more. Each bag measures 3.5" tall, 2.5" wide and 1.75" deep.

For the Toast
