{Wedding Inspiration} A Patriotically Perfect Day!

If you’re proud to be an American and you love a holiday that celebrates blowing things up while simultaneously stuffing your face with barbecued food, this wedding inspiration is for you. I love me some red white and blue, and even variations on those colors like aqua and red, or fuchsia and blue… and there’s nothing better in my book than a wedding that ends with fireworks!

You can’t go wrong with stars and stripes prints and casual bridesmaids dresses. I also think a bride could totally rock this Catherine Malandrino dress I found via Pinterest….you know, if you’re reeeeally feeling the patriotism.


Don’t you love it?! I can’t get enough of that pose either. Amaze-balls.

For color inspiration think a twist on all-american with bold aqua and cranberry like these photos from Martha Stewart.


And while I do love the berry and basketweave cake my girl Martha has on her website, I can’t help but think that this rice crispy cake would really be the perfect solution for a hot summer day. We’ve posted this cake before, but I love it so much I had to share it with you again. Better yet, its DIY-friendly. And seriously, who doesn’t love rice krispie treats?!


Are you a bold enough bride to rock the red white and blue on your big day? What do you think of using a holiday as inspiration? Let us know by leaving a comment!

    Love this! It's hard to do patriotic without going over the top and looking cheesy. The blue dress with the belts is perfect!

    I was at a Catherine Malandrino event earlier this year and took a few photos of that flag dress in the showroom… it's quite amazing!
