This Nashville Camp Wedding is Full of Fall Tones

November 5, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Lara and Chase’s dreamy autumnal wedding took place at Whispering Pines Christian Camp, an unexpectedly perfect spot for a cozy celebration and stunning photo opportunities. Moody dark tones like maroons, plums, and black set the romantic vibes that echoed the romantic floral and reception décor and the groom’s fashionable tie and pinecone boutonniere. All of these DIY’d details are on point: from the chalkboard ceremony signage to the fun taco bar. We love this alternative bride’s ethereal floral headband, deep berry lip, and simply elegant gown from David’s Bridal. Swak Photography captured the couple truly in their element exploring the campground and taking a canoe out for a quick spin with a stunning backdrop of changing leaves.

The Couple:

Lara and Chase

The Wedding:

Whispering Pines Christian Camp, Nashville, Tennessee

Being a photographer, our number one priority was choosing a photographer.

Just breathe. Don’t over stress because I promise you the day of none of it matters because you are marrying your true love. Everything you stressed about you will forget.

Swak Photography was outstanding. She is so professional and so much fun. She knew exactly what we wanted and exceeded all our expectations.

Our venue was actually my church camp growing up. Honestly had no desire to get married there at first and then I started imaging it in my head and it was absolutely perfect.

The most memorable part of the day was dancing for sure. My husband and I are huge dancers.

Honestly the whole ceremony space was DIY. My mom andaunt put in such hard work to make it as amazing as it was!

Earthy Elegant Wedding at Perth City Farm

November 5, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Perth City Farm, a green garden oasis in the middle of downtown, was perfect for Kayla and Jared’s indoor-outdoor celebration full of family and fun, featuring food trucks, lawn games, and hundreds of guests. The perfect venue for a magical and beautiful wedding day featuring a rustic barn and lush courtyards, the couple customized the space from the ground up. Most of the details were DIY, like the hundreds of folded paper cranes made into a creative and beautiful hanging backdrop and the gorgeous grey drapes and green garlands that made the minimal, white barn look lush and inviting. We love how Kate Drennan Photography captured all in attendance having an amazing time celebrating this couple and the abundance of candid photos of this incredibly happy bridal party.

The Couple:

Kayla and Jared

The Wedding:

Perth City Farm, Perth, Australia

Perth City Farm was the perfect venue for our style. We wanted somewhere with garden and greenery and indoor space that offered BYO food and drinks. The large barn and outdoors areas were perfect to host food trucks, lawn games and hundreds of guests.

Remember to take a night off once in a while. It can turn into a full time job and that’s when it gets stressful. And remember that not everything needs to be perfect – it should be about you marrying the person you love most, not what others might think of the decor!

Processional: Paper Kites – “Bloom”
Recessional: Blue Swede – “Hooked On A Feeling”

We hand folded hundreds of paper cranes for the hanging backdrop, made the grey drapes, garland and all the bits and pieces for the table decorations.

All of the amazing candid photos! We didn’t want a formal, staged style and Kate got this to a tee.

Kate was amazing! she was easy going andfit right in with our guests. My brothers even asked how long we had been friends with the photographer for.

We wanted a day that reflected us – it wouldn’t have made sense to have a formal 3 course dinner. We wanted it to be a celebration and to have fun with family and friends.

This DIY Georgia Wedding at Gascoigne Bluff was Catered by Waffle House

November 4, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Summer and Tanner wanted their large, southern wedding to be different and refused to stick to outdated traditions, which is why they chose to wed at Gascoigne Bluff, a stunning venue featuring ancient live oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Waffle House catered their outdoor reception and was a huge highlight of the day: a decadent brunch buffet of cheesy eggs, grits and bacon, made-to-order waffle and hash brown station, and an espresso bar with baristas from the couple’s favorite coffee shop, Wake Up Coffee Co. This creative wedding featured plenty of elegant DIY details, like the dance floor made up of thrifted vintage rugs that are now spread around the couple’s house as a romantic wedding day reminder and the décor and bridal party greenery that was grown in the bride’s grandmother’s backyard. Yellow Bird Visuals and AHP Videos did an amazing job of capturing everything heartfelt and emotional about this wedding, from the couple being married by the bride’s father and grandfather, to their incredibly emotional first look while walking down the aisle.

The Couple:

Summer and Tanner

The Wedding:

Gascoigne Bluff, St. Simons Island, Georgia

I feel like every girl says this, but I really wanted our wedding to be different. Trying to plan a 300+ person wedding on an under $10,000 budget made it really easy to make our day different, mainly because I refused to pay $1,000 to rent a dance floor, $60 per person for the same old same old wedding food, etc.

 

My dad walking me down the aisle was a huge highlight,both of us couldn’t stop crying, and then seeing Tanner‘s reaction to seeing me was better than I could have ever dreamed or imagined.

My dad is also a pastor of a church in Brunswick Georgia, The Chapel, and so after he walked me down the aisle,he married me alongside my grandfather, a retired pastor.

Our dance floor was all vintage rugs I found at different thrift stores. And now they are all in our house, and reminds us of our wedding day. Also all of the greenery decor and bridal party floral was grown in my grandmas yard, and she arranged the bouquets. She was my MVP and hero.

We had Waffle House cater the reception and it was such a hit! We had a buffet line of cheesy eggs, grits, bacon and eggs. Then we had made to order waffle and hash browns stations and our favorite coffee shop from St. Simons set up an espresso bar with baristas serving cappuccinos, lattes, and cold brews. Tree House Macarons did the desserts, hundreds of macarons and a creme Brule macaron wedding cake.
