Jillian & Michael’s Pink & White Beach Wedding

One word – wow! Jillian and Michael’s big beach day just blew me away. It’s got style, romance, class and a bit of bling. Pure genius.

This fabulous wedding is a bride on a budget’s dream come true! It looks a trillion dollars but you can definitely get the look for less.

You couldn’t ask for a more spectacular setting. Guests watched this super stylish couple exchange vows against a beautiful ocean backdrop. Blue skies, lush green lawns and sandy shores. What more could a bride possibly want?

Well, a traffic-stopping color theme doesn’t hurt! And Jillian certainly chose a stunner. Hot pink and crisp white is the way forward if you want outstanding pics

Get those wedding parasols out, ladies! These white, blue and pink beauties made a big statement. And they keep a gal from getting sunburn in the soaring summer temperatures.

Also loving Jillian’s work on the bridesmaid’s dresses. She’s coordinated them with her own wedding dress perfectly. This girl’s got more style than SJP!

The pics from the reception were amazing. You can tell this couple were having tons of fun. Get those hands in the air girls! Groomsmen – unleash some devastating dance moves.

I’m absolutely mad about those indoor sparklers! It’s a smart and inexpensive way to add some sparkle to the evening’s antics. A bit of razzle dazzle gets all your guests in the party mood.

How To Make This Wedding Yours…

Who wouldn’t want a slice of this gorgeous wedding action? I’m seething with envy at the picture perfect images!

Here’s how to channel their style without blowing your budget…

Use seasonal wedding flowers. Going with bridal blooms that are in season is a smart way to save dollars. Check those super pretty bridesmaid’s bouquets! Romantic or what?

Go seasonal with your wedding breakfast too. Jillian and Michael went for seasonal fruits dipped in chocolate. Bet their guests scoffed those strawberries in double quick time!

Look at those simple but totally classy table centres. Proves that less is more! Use tall vases and make an impression with simple but striking floral arrangements. You save money and it looks amazing too.

Team a bold shade with white - it makes a massive statement! Also, see how Jillian used pale pinks and creams in the wedding decor? You don’t have to stick to a color theme like superglue. Choose secondary shades that complement the primary colors and you’re onto a wedding winner.

I adore those girly place markers! Any crafty bride could whip these little beauties up. Make a template, source some ribbon and you’re sorted!
