Time to introduce our next bride! Christina is currently living in and planning her wedding from Vienna, Austria but tying the knot in Arizona. This “destination” planning should be a fun one to follow along with. Let’s get right over to introducing her.

About Me:
I’m originally from a small town in Illinois but moved to Arizona at age 17 to attend Arizona State University.  I lived (and loved it) there until 2008 when I moved to Vienna, Austria to pursue my MBA.  In addition to Vienna, I studied in both Bangkok and Shanghai and managed to travel to over 20 countries during my two years abroad for school.  Fun fact: I met my fiancé in China but he just so happens to be from Vienna!  We’ve lived together here in Austria since August 2010 but are getting ready to make the move back to Arizona in the spring.

I love Mexican food, all things pink and sparkly, laying out by the pool, baking cupcakes, reading blogs, celebrity gossip, yoga, my dog Dallas, traveling, and my family, friends & fiancé very much :)

Wedding Style:
My fiancé laughs a little every time he hears me describe it.  I’d say the look and vibe we are going for is ”Rustic Glam, Cozy and Cute.”  We are planning a non-traditional wedding that blends both of our cultures into one big, fabulous party.

Our wedding is going to be outdoor + indoor.  The ceremony and cocktail hour will be held outside and the reception will be inside (but the ballroom has doors on all walls that will remain open to the outdoor cocktail area all night for a true indoor/outdoor vibe).  It’ll be a pretty, spring wedding with a playful and eclectic vibe.

To get a better idea of my style, take a peek below at some of my inspiration.  I’m looking forward to sharing more with you over the next few months!

The fantastic Kia Gregory sent over some images of a little DIY tablescape she did on a whim after picking some gorgeous wildflowers the other day. Now talk about inspiration central!

This whole vintage look is so simple, elegant and just all around amazing. Adding a touch of lace to the table and those chic mirrors (not those ugly ones that come with most venues) definitely sets the tone of the overall vintage centerpiece we’ve got on our hands.

Such a great addition, those teacups are fantastic!

Now that’s what I call table love right here!

I have been thinking a bit about my bridal party these days! I decided I want to think of something so different for the bridal party that you couldn’t even recognize it as a bridal party. I want to think of some attraction that would be the main attraction for the party and get people excited about coming to this super fun party!

My idea for decor is Pink and Green because years ago, those were going to be the color of my wedding. I decided against that pretty fast, but since it is just the bridal party, I could definitely get away with that color palette. Pink and green fruit, treats, and drinks! Only pink and green. Super fun little challenge to the party!

Still thinking of my really great attraction to the party though. Any ideas or anything you have done in the past that you thought was incredibly amazing and chic?? Do tell!
