Kimba’s Perfectly Preppy Wedding

As many of you know, one of our favorite bloggers, Miss All Things Kimba is getting married next summer in Cap Cod. Here to be exact.

She’s been posting lots of ideas on her site, so I put together a small storyboard of ideas for her perfectly preppy wedding.

Kimba is thinking navy with light blue as her accent. I went heavy on the navy and white, just because I love the contrast between those colors.

The invitation sets the tone for a circular themed, very clean concept. The invites are from wedding paper divas and the circular monogram can be re-created in the packaging of the favors, the wedding program, and even koozies for the after party (Kimba, I’m just ASSUMING there WILL be an afterparty).

The wedding dress is oh so beautiful Oscar de la Renta from brides.com. The bridesmaids dresses are from J Crew, the Lindsey style and are very flattering for all shapes.

To keep with the circular, clean theme, the cake is very simple, except for the beautiful detailing that lends texture to the overall look (Cake via brides.com)

I chose stark white peonies for the flowers. I love the way they look in bunches and they would be lovely pared together in multiples (of smaller vases) for table arrangements. (Flowers via theknot.com)

Now, because this is a beach wedding, we must have some nautical themed elements. I am just not super crazy about shells, so I found these cool sea urchin votives (they come in large and small sizes). They would lend some beautiful candlelight to round tables covered in stark white linens. Also, to integrate a little cheekiness into the table settings, how about this beautiful crane's place card that reads "live & learn, laugh & play, sit & eat at table number one."

I also love the idea of using a vintage Cape Cod postcard (this one is from ebay) as your save the date. A printer could scan the design and create a save the date postcard that would be oh so preppy.

As guests enter your reception, why not greet them will champagne with chilled blueberries as a great blue accent. And as the leave for the night, send them off with a beautifully wrapped whale truffle - the perfectly preppy way to say goodnight!
