If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram lately, there’s a good chance you’ll recognize today’s leading lady, Nikia. Otherwise known as Mad Maven Style, this gal KNOWS fashion. She + her love Mark Daoust, designed a day that captured their effervescent style, which they describe as: Victorian meets Marie Antoinette, with a Southwestern folk twist. Sounds super cool, right?! Their planner, Perfectly Poised Events, made everything come together in such a seamless manner.
Well, because there were SO many eye-catching elements—from the wedding party, to their TWO different wedding looks, all of the pampas grass, and a seriously regal cake, we’re sharing their fashionable day in two parts! Let’s take a peek at all the wild styles Sara K Byrne captured at The Ruby Street!
The Details
Yes, those are invites by Alexa Younger Vocke featuring drawings of the bride and groom. How fun is that?!
Hello, stylin’ kicks! Aren’t those Chinese Laundry heels adorable? The bride embellished them herself!
Their Ensembles
The Amaroq Design crown, the sleeves, his super sharp suit…it’s all just TOO GOOD!!
Let’s start with that killer dress from Galia Lahav. That deep V, the netted lace…and those sleeves! Who else is IN LOVE?!
Dig Mark’s suit as much as us? It was custom designed by the Maid of Honor, Alexa Younger, who also did the invites!
The Wedding Party
Now THAT’S a wedding party!
The ladies are ROCKIN’ IT! The bridesmaids all donned sweet gowns from Fame and Partners.
How adorable are the little ones?! The ring bearers are wearing River Island and the flower girl wore Tutu Du Monde.
As for the groomsmen, they all wore suits from The Black Tux. Isn’t that pop of pampas grass darling?
