Real Weddings: Darcy Miller

{All photos via Martha Stewart Weddings}

I'm a huge fan of Darcy Miller who is the Editorial Director at Martha Stewart Weddings. She has given inspiration to so many brides that I thought I would do a little excerpt on this weddings icon. Many a bride waited in breathless anticipation for the day "The Editor" would get married and she didn't disappoint. The elegant and sophisticated affair was held at the Four Seasons in NYC and managed to convey a sense of fun and whimsy with unique and lovely details. I love how she carries these thoughtful details throughout the event- in this case a nod to french culinary tradition and touches of gardenia and cherry blossoms throughout the entire floral design.

I think Darcy's bouquet is perfect for her petite frame. I love how the lily of the valley is cuffed by gardenias- a unique touch I don't see too often. Darcy's maid of honor bouquet mirrors her own, but on a smaller scale with beautiful hard to find pink lily of the valley. Perfect for a spring wedding.

A thoughtful touch for guests. At left handkerchiefs for "les femmes" and stephanotis and bay leaf boutonnieres for "les hommes". To the right the ketuba whose design inspiration is the famed Laduree boxes.

The beautiful 9 tier cake whose design, along with ketuba, was inspired by Laduree
Details, Details, Details!!! A plethora of candy was served. To the right individual sized wedding cakes for guests.

The happy bride and groom.
