We have a crush on this orange Y2K wedding inspiration!
Y2K meets zesty, tropical orange design in this playful wedding inspiration! The modern, color block shoot dazzled in the summery hue while bringing all the late 90's nostalgia; the brides were fabulously styled by Abbie Leigh Events & Styling in rad mini dresses, butterfly clips, and orange accessories to transport us back in time.
You'll have to keep reading to see their citrus themed reception that subbed a champagne tower for Aperol spritzes! All photography by Marilyn Denise Photography.
This vibrant modern invitation suite was designed by Harriett & Joel.
An Y2K bridal makeover
To fit the "fetch" style of the millennium, brides Annie and Gracey were dressed in rhinestones, 90's sunglasses, short dresses, and chunky platform heels. Ivory White Bridal blended elegance and chic fashion with their modern dress selection, while accessories from Favoured London popped!
The Y2K vibes were elevated by amazing hair and makeup design! Molly's Hair & Beauty kept the hair fun, adding orange feathers into the braids in Grace's hair, and creating a big bouncy updo for Annie that was giving 90's.
Their makeup by Jodie Sheehan Makeup had a clean base, with peachy gloss & blushes to compliment the orange winged liner on Annie, and the orange blow out shadow on Grace.
Vibrant tropical florals filled the space
Bloom Street Florals infused the modern wood paneled Rhyse Farm venue with iconically vibrant bouquets and centerpieces, brimming with tropical blooms. The floral designer added real oranges into the eye-grabbing arrangements, including a modern floral curtain that framed the lush reception table and brides!
