Regencycore Meets Contemporary Color Blocking In This Pastel Garden Party Wedding

Attention all Bridgerton fans!! We have a wedding photo shoot to share with you that is a Bridgerton-inspired bride’s dream come true.

Event designers + planners from Mack & Main led the team of team of talented Pittsburgh, PA-based vendors that brought this timeless + luxurious garden party editorial to life in The Walled Garden at Mellon Park. 

The aesthetic goal of the shoot was “old-world elegance with a modern twist.” There were empire waist floral wedding gowns. There were bows + butterflies + parasols. There were ornate blush pink, baby blue, and sunny yellow floral arrangements that coordinated seamlessly with the pastel velvet + brocade decor.

“The color-blocked palette of mauve pink, golden yellow, and dusty blue transformed the traditional garden party into a strikingly contemporary scene,” says Mackenzie of Mack & Main, and we could not agree more.

So, get ready for some serious Regencycore romance. Lady Whistledown would love these pics from Palermo Photography.

With Love Daily Designs created the shoot’s ornate pastel paper goods. Those die cut edges! 😍

This curly bridal updo was created by Jenna Degol, and the soft peachy bridal makeup look was the work of Shannon Cole.

Those pearly, sheer bridal gloves were one of the shoot’s creative style choices that put a modern spin on a historic bridal silhouette.

We seriously love puff sleeve wedding dresses and floral wedding dresses, so we have fallen hard for this Madeline Couture gown from Bridal Beginning.
