18 Mar Chelsea & Russell {Rose Hill Mansion}
Speaking as one who was captivated by every last detail of Chelsea and Russell’s reverie of a wedding, I couldn’t imagine a celebration more perfect for you to wake up to this Wednesday morning! Chelsea’s cornflower-blue pumps, her bridesmaids’ Amsale frocks in romantic hues of purple and blue, and the crimson dahlias peeking out of the bouquets all provided a sprinkling of confetti color to complement the couple’s rustic outdoor reception. Subtle influences of Southern charm popped up at the soirée, too, from cotton bolls atop dinner menus to guests clinking together Mason jar cocktails while relaxing under Rose Hill Mansion’s moss canopy, and more. And I can’t skip over that beauty of a cake—an attraction all on its own. Chelsea and Russell’s choice of a three-tiered “naked” wedding cake had me longing for a fork, napkin, and a slice! For a wedding that truly dazzled, it’s more-than-appropriate that Chelsea and Russell’s last embrace of the night was amidst a wave of congratulatory attendees brandishing sparklers. There’s no denying it—this fête left me with stars in my eyes. Enjoy this Virgil Bunao gem!
