From Runway to Wedding Day (#2)

February 8th, 2010 @ 5:19 pm by Mrs. Rainbow

While our wedding plans are still up in the air (yes, you heard that right, more on that later) it’s time for our second installment of RW2WD. Catch up on the first here.

The Glam Bride- Her wedding is nothing if not gilded. She’s getting married in a swank ballroom that’s dripping with sparkle. Her colors are mixed metals—bronze, gold, and silver. Her reception is a huge soiree for her 300 closest family and friends, and if someone ends up swinging from the chandeliers, it’ll most certainly be her, though she’s careful not to ruin her Vera Wang.

The Beach Bride- Shoes? Who needs shoes? She’ll be walking barefoot in the sand, wearing a flowing J.Crew gown while carrying deliciously peach hued flowers. Her dusty aqua bridesmaid’s dresses perfectly match the sea and sky backdrop. Her guests are treated to a clam bake at dusk, and when the stars come out, the bride and groom will make their getaway in a perfectly rustic sailboat.

The Eclectic Bride- Convinced that she was born in the wrong decade, she embraces everything fun, funky, and a little off-kilter. She’s getting married outdoors at the height of summer, carrying a lush, colorful bouquet that’s wrapped in madras, to match her groom’s bow tie. For her reception, she’s throwing a huge BBQ bash with a note to “pack your swimsuits”. She’ll be surprising her guests with a slip ’n’ slide and kiddie pools. Tradition has never been her thing, so why start now?

What’s your bride style?

Fun post! If I had to pick, I guess I’m a Glam bride, but I’m way too clumsy/awkward to really pull that off ;). Which one would you be?

This was fun! I guess I’m glam mixed with eclectic? We’re mixing elegant details with a quirky setting. :)

Rainbow, you are too cute with your “What Bride are You?” posts! I would say I am trying to be Glam Bride with a little Eclectic Bride thrown in (as much as my very traditional mother will allow!)

Oh I love this. I’m definitely the glam bride. I take traditional to a whole new level. And with the help of my fun loving fiance with a little eclectic thrown in, just bring on the party lights because that man in a kilt is gonna get down like there is no tomorrow.

Haa! I’m the Beach Bride completely, minus the beach. From the J.Crew dress, to the peach bouquet, & the aqua bridesmaids. Love it!

Oh that tie is fantastic!! I think I’m a smush between your Classic Bride from before and the Eclectic Bride.

These are so fun, madam. :)

I’d like to say I’m a bit eclectic and glam. A good balance of both.

I thought I liked the first one the best, until I saw the second…and then I liked that one until I saw the third. : P I’m either indecisive or in need of three weddings (all to Mr. Parfait, o’ course)!

I love all of these — even the ones from your first post! The beachy tones in the second one are gorgeous.
