Jessica's Friendly Inspiration:

The Colour Scheme: This wedding will be surrounded by shades of purples and pinks with hints of white.

The Invitations: Romantic invitations in the wedding colours will start off the festivities.

The Venue: Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery

Ceremony Location: The ceremony will take place in the Amber Room in front of a beautiful, old, 12-foot fireplace. 

Reception Location: The reception will take place inside the Grand Salon, complete with high ceilings, porcelain tile, and large windows overlooking the garden and vineyards.

The Bride:

The Dress: Jessica will wear a tulle ballgown with a beaded corset by Tara Keely.

The Look: To accessorize her beautiful gown, Jessica wants to sparkle! She requested wearing blingy jewelry, including earrings, a necklace, and a pink diamond bracelet. She also requested a complete up-do with a tiara and veil, adding to the princess feel of her look. To complete the ensemble, Jessica will wear pink shoes with some added sparkle and a beautiful pink rose bouquet.

The Bridesmaids: The bridesmaids will wear light pink Occasions gowns, while carrying white and pink rose bouquets. To give them some added sparkle, Jessica's ladies will wear necklaces and bracelets full of bling.

The Groom & Groomsmen: The men will wear black tuxes and light pink ties, accessorized by pink rose boutonnieres. The groom will have a special boutonniere with added purple flowers.

The Ceremony: The ceremony aisle will be lined with pink and white petals and glowing candles. The chairs will add romance by having ribbon and roses hanging from the aisle seats. The mantle will be decorated with candles and an enchanted floral wreath.

The Cocktail Hour: In between the ceremony and reception will be a purple cocktail hour. The tables will  be covered in lavish purple tablecloths and light pink centrepieces. The guests will sip on signature cocktails in shades of pinks and purples.

The Escort Cards: Guests will be led to their seats with romantic escort cards done up with pink flowers and crystal spheres.

The Reception: To create an enchanting reception space, the circular tables will have light pink tablecloths and the rectanglular ones will have white tablecloths with pink tulle runners. The centrepieces will feature flowers in pinks, purples, and white along with glowing candles. Each place setting will have a purple napkin and menu card in purple watercolour.

The Food: The guests will be served a variety of tasty, gourmet foods.

The Cake & Dessert: The uniquely layered rose cake will sit in the middle of a pink dessert table, with an "Endless Love" cake topper.

The Favours: For favours, Jessica wanted to give chocolates, along with incorporate her love of movies into the gifts. To accomplish both, guests will receive a beautifully decorated purple box full of assorted truffles and a RedBox gift card.
