I Had To: Taylor Wedding (Erin’s Version)

I know, I have to let this go- but I just cannot help but feel like this all makes no sense and I need to work through all my feelings. If I was worth over a billion dollars, I would have had SUCH a different wedding. I know, I know- money cannot buy taste and maybe she’s a little developmentally arrested in her teen years as that’s what phase of life made her so famous- but STILL.

If security and not being outside was the concern, may I present VERSAILLES? LOL. I checked and you CAN rent it for a private event but you have to be very special and very rich (is anyone more those two things than T Swift?) Big enough for a bajillion people (although, I would prefer less…) I mean, if we’re gonna go all out with our dollars on a wedding, let’s do it UP, right?

I was picturing something more Marie Antoinette meets Folklore, although that really doesn’t jive aesthetically- bear with me. Over the top florals, but in a wild english garden way- shades of red, pink, plum and chartreuse. Red is her signature color anyways- why ignore it (I sound like Elle Woods). Amazing layering patterned china, sumptuous linens and TONS of candlelight. This Elie Saab Couture gown would have been SO perfect on her- with a signature red lip of course, and then this cute Oscar de la Renta short lace number for dancing with some Louboutins.

A vision board quickly rendered….

Using some hints from her actual wedding, the invites could have used a hand painted landscape- but as envelope liners closed with wax seals. Favor boxes could have been embroidered linen, guest could be given fans for the heat (maybe embroidered lace instead of these paper ones I show here, referencing her handkerchief favors….)

Kinda this vibe by Blossom Events– elegant and fancy but then transforms into a dance club in an unexpected way? Just a thought… :)
