Inside Kendra Wilkinson’s Wedding!
We were lucky enough to be able to chat up Nicole Hirsty of Cobalt Events (cobaltevents.com) this afternoon. Nicole helped former Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson pull off her recent wedding at the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles and she was nice enough to share some of the incredible details. Here are some highlights…
The color palette…
Lavender and white. Kendra liked the way the colors looked together and they fit in perfectly with the classic, fairy-tale wedding she envisioned.
The bouquets…
The bouquets featured roses and orchids. To incorporate the purple, LA Premier (lapremier.com) added braided lavender and white ribbon into the base of the bridesmaid bouquets.
The ceremony locale…
Marrying in front of the wishing well at the mansion was very significant to Kendra. Nicole and her team decked it out with an all-white triple arch the featured a pave of roses, draped chiffon and a floral chandelier. Floral balls lined the aisle.
The reception…
The reception was also on the grounds of the mansion, in a gorgeously decorated tent draped on the top and sides with chiffon. Chandeliers adorned with ostrich feathers illuminated the space and projections of pictures of Kendra and Hank played throughout the night. The table were decorated with custom white tufted linens and beautiful tall centerpieces that included lavender, roses, hydrangea and orchids and were draped with crystals. The head table where the newlyweds sat was lined with white boxes filled with hydrangea, lavender, orchids and roses.
The favors…
At each setting, the couple gave guests almond-shaped chocolates from Gourmandise Paris (gourmandiseparis.com) that matched the lavender and white color scheme. At the end of the night, guests could also munch on monogrammed football-shaped cookies (provided by Weddingish.com), which were displayed on a bed of wheatgrass as an ode to the groom who is a professional football player.
