Retro Rockabilly Wedding

This playful wedding comes to Red Shoes Bridal courtesy of Sarah Kathleen Photography, based in San Luis Obispo County, California.  The colors of this wedding feature that classic retro palette of red, black, and white.  There are so many adorable, personal touches in this wedding, including the polka dot sash on the bride's dress.  I absolutely adore the bride's black birdcage veil.  The Portola Inn in Atascadero, California, was a beautiful rustic, vintage-y setting.  Enjoy!

A Whimsical Summer Wedding

This adorable, whimsical summer wedding comes to Red Shoes Bridal courtesy of Sarah Kathleen Photography, based in San Luis Obispo County, California.  Sarah is an amazingly talented, creative photographer with an eye for catching all those special moments.  You can check out her blog here: Sarah Kathleen Photography.

The bride, Kelly, and groom, Stephen, were married in Arroyo Grande, California.  Their wedding featured many vintage-inspired elements, including the old glass jars and containers used as vases for the reception, the framed photos of previous family weddings, and the old red Ford as the get-away car.  The couple added touches of whimsy with the over-sized white balloons tied to the ceremony gazebo, and cut-out white chandeliers used both at the ceremony and reception.  Enjoy!
