You could tell she was a pageant girl through and through, and I LOVED it!! 👑💐 She made a grand entrance in a horse-drawn carriage, giving us all major Cinderella vibes. And the theme didn’t stop there — each table had the most adorable horse-drawn carriage centerpieces, tying the entire royal aesthetic together perfectly.

Her bridesmaids wore stunning lavender purple silk dresses, which flowed so beautifully in the summer breeze. Combined with elegant purple floral arrangements, the entire celebration felt like it belonged in a storybook. The colors, the setting, and the little personal touches made everything just right.
