Move over blush pink, this bright shade’s got something to say. Bright, fun and bold, hot pink wedding flowers make an eye-catching statement. Look to flowers such as bougainvillea, roses, orchids and dahlias for the perfect pink and look here for some serious bouquet inspiration.

This pretty wedding will definitely make you smile. Kamani and Jim treated their guests to a memorable destination wedding in beautiful Nice, France. The indulgent and amazing week was capped with their intimate ceremony at a gorgeous chateau. Completing the fairy tale story is Kamani’s dress search which is as romantic and perfect as the entire event. Enjoy!
Kamani + Jim | June 23, 2016 | Nice, France
The Ceremony Our ceremony was officiated by a local Scottish pastor dressed in authentic Scottish kilt attire. It took place on the terrace of a French chateau turned winery and is inspiration to Coco Chanel’s renowned logo. Perched atop a French mountainside, our 50 guests had sweeping views of the French Riviera. Guests who traveled from all over the US and UK were spoiled to a weeklong schedule of events that included coastal day trips to Monaco in a champagne laced limo bus and Champagne brunch in a private garden in the famous Villa de Ephrussi de Rothschild. The event has since been dubbed by our guests as “The Best Wedding Ever”.
The Reception Our garden cocktail reception featured a live cooking show of foie gras and fresh sushi, paired with local French Rose champagne and a buffet of French cheeses. Our guests toured the wine cellars and vineyards while being served hors d’oeuvres and overlooking the pink & gold sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. Our dinner reception in the Salon Antoine Mari was fitting of the ‘Marie Antoinette’ vintage theme and featured local Nicoise infused aperitifs and cuisine. The vineyard’s recent production of Chateau de Cremat red, white and rose wines decorated the candlelit tables. The lavender laced wedding cake and French pastries complimented the entire French Riviera wedding experience where I danced in my red bottoms until 3am.
Kamani’s Wedding Dress Search I traveled to Washington DC with my bridesmaid to attend a trunk show for Hayley Paige. I tried on 6 different designs and although they were beautiful and within my budget, it just didn’t feel perfect. Then I made an appointment for a local bridal store in Fort Lauderdale where I tried on 3 Sophia Tolli dresses and was very keen on 1 particular design but I was stuck on Hayley Paige. So I made another appointment for another bridal store in Boca Raton and tried on 3 more Hayley Paige designs, not completely pleased with any. There happened to be a rose champagne color dress featured on mannequin that my bridesmaids and I complimented every time we walked past, but it was not the whimsical look I was going for. It was more of a ball gown and my maid of honor reminded me that I was getting married in a French castle so why shouldn’t I look like a princess. So I tried on the Romona Keveza Spring 2016 design it felt so much lighter and fit perfectly. When I came out of the fitting room, it brought my guests to tears and I looked in the mirror and knew at the moment, I found THE dress! I didn’t choose the dress. It chose me! It was waiting for me the whole time and it absolutely made me feel like royalty.
How She Felt In Her Romona Keveza Regal, Glamorous and Skinny LOL
Why She’s Selling Her Wedding Gown I looked for a used wedding dress for this design and because it’s from her Spring 2016 collection, I couldn’t find any. I know someone looking to feel like a skinny princess on her wedding day will appreciate a newly released design that was well altered and enjoyed! (That and we need to pay off a huge wedding & honeymoon debt!)
Your wedding day will always be about you and your groom. But as any bride will tell you, her girls are also an incredibly important and meaningful part of the day. After all, bridesmaids are the girlfriends who have always been there for you. And who always will be.
Be sure to ask your photographer to capture some special moments with your most special girlfriends. They’re likely to be among your most favorite wedding pictures and memories of the day.
