THEIR STORY
BRIDE Kristen Aldridge, 34, a correspondent for omg! Insider GROOM Seth
Mattison, 32, a keynote speaker HOW THEY MET At a restaurant that Kristen was
covering for a reporting gig WEDDING STYLE For their glamorous, celerbrity-worthy
wedding, Kristen and Seth chose a color palette of silver, charcoal and white.
“I just love the clean, romantic feel of all-white flowers,” Kristen says. They
used a soft mix of white hydrangeas, peonies and roses throughout the day.

“It was light, airy, romantic, unique and, most importantly, super-comfortable,” Kristen says of her corset-top tulle gown.
“It was almost too beautiful to try on! When I saw that the price was actually less expensive than my budget, I was floored.
I really wanted that wow factor, and the Pronovias Barbate had everything I was looking for,” she recalls.

For half of the round
tables, the couple’s florist
created tall statement
arrangements—puffs of
hydrangeas over a clear
cylinder vase, surrounded
by mini mercury glass vases
and votives. The other half
were topped with smaller
hydrangea arrangements
and plenty of candles.
