An Eclectic And Moody Summer Wedding For Jewel Tone Loving Brides

For all of you brides dreaming of a moody summer wedding, Annie Dowling and Trey Shanks’ wedding day is definitely for you! Full of eclectic style and bold jewel tones, the couple’s big day was captured perfectly by Caroline Fontenot. Annie and her bridesmaids had their hair and makeup done flawlessly by the wonderful Hey Lovely, and can we talk about those clips in Annie’s hair? Absolutely iconic! With bold florals and elegant decor pieces, Flora & Eventi totally stole the show. Not a detail of the Shanks’ day was missed thanks to Mallory of Two Be Wed, and we’re totally here for it. And speaking of details, you’ve got to see this stunning cake from Cakes by Gina! With five tiers of tastiness and geometric shapes galore, it’s an absolute stunner. Check out all of this prettiness below!
