Real Wedding: Doug + Paige's Fun Carnival Wedding

I'm so excited to share this fun vintage carnival wedding of Doug + Paige. Their ceremony was at the LDS Newport Temple in Newport Beach CA. After the ceremony, they went to the beach for some fun photos. Then, it was time for their vintage carnival themed reception! How sweet is this!?

The wedding was designed by the very creative Heather and her team at Amorology and the photography is by the talented Jamie Hammond. This looked like such a fun wedding! They had a a ferris wheel, balloon artist, photo booth, carnival games, you name it!

Thanks so much to Heather and Jamie for letting me share this fun wedding with you guys and congrats to Doug + Paige on your wedding!

The color palette was aqua, red and soft cotton candy pink. The bridesmaids dresses were custom made by Paige's sister (as well as the red feather headbands). I love Paige's hair. Oh, and the flower girl - so adorable!

The invitation was created by Details by Ramey and it was a perfect introduction to the fun that was to come. Included in the invitation was a large ticket that was redeemable at the ticket booth for tickets to be used throughout the night. Each guest was handed enough tickets to visit each vendor at the carnival.

The tables were placed with various shades of rolls of tickets that raised up the centerpieces and gave height to the gorgeous arrangements of dusty miller, peonies, roses, stock and gerbera daises created by Twigg Botanicals. Mason jars tied with red grosgrain ribbon also found their way to the table to serve as candle votives.

I love this candy booth filled with all types of candy. The custom pennants were made by Jenn of Pincushion Princess and hung against the striped booth backdrops that Armorology created. All of the vintage style ticket signs were designed by Courtney Scowby Designs. The cake was done by Heidleburg Bakery in Orange County.

It's so cute, but it's a little too theme-y for me for a wedding. The bride and groom are darling though. I love the color palette too. I would kill for that ferris wheel to use for a birthday party for my daughter. We had a carnival for her 3rd birthday , but could only find a small carousel.

WOW. Just wow. The whole things is amazing, all of the thought that went into the details - I'd love to be able to be that creative someday.

I've been drooling over the idea of a ferris wheel for awhile now and now you show it to me, and in my neck of the woods too! Does anyone happen to know where it was rented from??? I WANT ONE!!!

I have to know where they got the giant lollipops. I've been looking for some for my wedding, and I can find is the standard rainbow-colored ones. Any idea?
