It’s Classic Friday! But, What Makes a Wedding Classic, Anyway?

Friday, February 19th, 2010

Fridays are now classic Friday, on my Kate Parker Wedding! For our first classic Friday, we thought it would be a good idea to show examples of what exactly classic is. Sometimes is hard to know what each style looks like, so we are here to show you! We will give examples of everything, from wedding cakes to paper products. Check out the photos below to see which vendors are featured and see our classic tutorial!

Since my Kate Parker Wedding is all about finding the best wedding vendors in our industry, we get so excited for our my KPW family members when they’re featured in other publications, both online and in print.  After we originally posted this story, Style Me Pretty asked to feature this incredible bride and groom in an all day post-a-thon! We wanted to show you more of this beautiful wedding experience and we also wanted to throw a shout out to the fabulous vendors who were involved in such a selfless act of kindness.  To go to Style Me Pretty and read the many stories, click on one of the links below:
