The Bride Amanda O'Brien, 28, makes jewelry from home The Groom Justin Jaffe, 31, executive vice president at Jetran International The Date May 14 When you only have a few months to put together a wedding, you need to make decisions fast. Luckily, that wasn't a problem for Amanda, who knew exactly what she wanted: a scene straight out of the film Marie Antoinette, with every lush floral arrangement and tablescape doused in pink.

Airplane-shaped Cake
To help the piped frosting decorations stand out, the cake was sprinkled all over with a pale-pink edible shimmer powder.
At the after-party on the beach, guests enjoyed hand-rolled cigars, tacos and cotton candy.
Small white carnations tucked into glittery goblets added a glam touch to the waterfront after-party.
Varying shades of pink in the centerpieces and linens gave the tables visual depth.
The couple shared their first dance to The Best Is Yet to Come by Michael Bublé. It's a classic, Amanda says.
Evoking the extravagant visuals from the favorite movie, live white doves were placed around the property in gold cages.
Gold boxes fastened with ribbon and paper doves transformed Jordan almonds into fancy favors.
Gold bird nests filled with roses topped some of the cocktail tables.
The head table got major VIP treatment: its own gazebo overlooking the lake. Flowy pink draping and a banner with the couple's names finished the look.
As the reception came to a close, a fireworks show kicked off the after-party held on the beach.
At Horseshoe Bay, the couple could treat guests to a tropical-like destination that was only 45 minutes away from Austin.
Shimmering tablecloths and hot-pink centerpieces gave the cocktail hour a lively, party-like atmosphere.
Even their drink, a sparkling berry cocktail, matched the wedding color scheme.
The path to the ceremony site was lined with vases of pink flowers hanging from shepherd's hooks.
With the expansive bay as a backdrop, Amanda and Justin exchanged vows beneath a romantic gazebo draped in pink fabric, flowers and greenery.
Dressing everyone in the same white and blush outfits gave the bridal party a chic, cohesive look.
For a totally traditional arrangement, the bride chose white roses, peonies and stephanotis, accented with a vintage brooch.
A fan tied with custom-printed pink ribbon greeted each guest at their ceremony seat.
Amanda's artful yet light and flowy ball gown and Justin's crisp white linen suit exuded a relaxed style.
