Each of these looks puts a special spin on your favorite trends, from tropical plants to desert vibes. Create a style all your own by taking in our tips and ideas to help you nail each look!

Tropical Gatsby

Tropical styling has been trending for a couple of years now, so we’re loving this shake-up of the popular look. Gatsby-inspired details not only elevate your tropical decor, but mix in touch of glamour, a bit of vintage charm, and a hint of Art Deco to contrast with the lush vibrancy.

Lush Industrial

Industrial venues are becoming more popular than ever and we love that couples are looking to bring a bit of the outside inside for their wedding. If you’re saying “I do” in an industrial venue like a warehouse or loft, going lush with your look can warm up a cold space.

Eclectic DIY Knoxville Wedding at The Standard with a Vintage Twist

March 13, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

With plenty of vintage and eclectic decor, Josh and Ryan’s Knoxville wedding is as charming as ever. Between coordinating to providing vintage rentals and sage greenery, Sisters’ Vintage Rentals pulled out all the stops. We are loving the vintage twist put on The Standard‘s industrial space for Josh and Ryan’s one-of-a-kind vibe. T&K Photography did an outstanding job photographing this special day with how they take a photojournalistic approach to shooting. It is so obvious that Josh and Ryan made this wedding uniquely their own and we couldn’t agree more with their wedding hashtag #southernbeausdoitbetter.

The Couple:

Josh and Ryan

The Wedding:

The Standard, Knoxville, Tenneessee

T&K were fantastic photographers! They really made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole day.

Our whole wedding was DIY! We did everything with the support of Sisters’ Vintage Rentals. We even built 16 8’ farmhouse tables for the reception, as we wanted a family feel. We stained telephone wire spools that housed all the food. The Wednesday before the wedding we loaded at 20’ U-Haul truck along with a trailer and carloads full of supplies included 13 antique doors, window frames, a ladder with Edison light bulbs, two couches, 6 large chairs, pews, a fireplace, coffee tables, 28 center pieces, greenery, and a bar. We had a blank canvas with our venue and it was like we were moving into our home. Ryan even made the bouquets and boutonnieres for our nephews and nieces in the wedding!

For us, the most memorable part of the day was being able to exchange our vows and weave our lives together as a legally married couple in the city of Knoxville, where Josh grew up. Growing up as closeted gay kids in Tennessee and Kentucky, we did not think this day would be possible. We had often wondered what the future held and are thrilled to live in a time of progress for the LGBTQ community. There is still work to be done, but we wanted our wedding day to be one of celebration, laughter, dancing, drinking, food, and most importantly, love. 

It’s your day! You should be able to set the stage for what you imagine your perfect day to be. There will be bumps along the way, but you just have to roll with them and laugh through them. Remember it is not just a wedding, but you are creating a marriage and lifetime together. Try to relax and enjoy every moment! You will be surrounded by those who love and support you, enjoy it.

Our wedding favors were succulents that our guests could take with them so they could remember to let love grow. We collected little containers from all over Kentucky and Tennessee for over a year so that each succulent was planted in its own unique container. We displayed them on a cart with crates, ladders, books, and an antique door to create a focal point to draw our guests into the ceremony space. We chose succulents because they fit our style and overall look of our greenery, as we did not want to use any flowers. Succulents are also something you can find in our NYC apartment, which helped add to our theme of creating a welcoming and homey feel for our wedding.

We wanted our friends and family to feel like they were coming to our New York City apartment to hang out with us. We tried to create an intimate feeling that was uniquely our style. Luckily, Josh’s mom and Aunts started Sisters’ Vintage Rentals a few years ago so we were able to create everything from the centerpieces to the tables to the backdrop and arrangements. At the end of the day we wanted our family and friends that attended to be entering into a space of love and warmth. We only wanted folks there that were going to support us fully and that included all the companies and vendors we worked with as well.

We invited folks to our wedding because they impacted our lives and we wanted them to celebrate with us. As we were looking out into the crowd during our first dance, it was so emotional because we had family and friends from New York City, Tennessee, Kentucky, Texas, California, Washington, Ohio, and North Carolina all in one space there to celebrate us. It was a bit overwhelming, but we sure felt the love.

Utterly Serene Olympic Mountains Elopement at Sunset

March 12, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Noelle and Braden’s Olympic Mountains elopement is as picture perfect as can be. Noelle’s classic and boho Rue De Seine wedding dress is an absolute dream, especially next to her bridesmaids wearing mismatched Free People and Anthropologie dresses. The care-free, simple vibe is so evident and it allows for Noelle and Braden’s fun love to shine through. These two invited Jordan Voth to join them in photographing their elopement, and we can see why! We are loving the images that Jordan photographed of these two lovebirds in the vibrant, orange sunset.

The Couple:

Noelle and Braden

The Wedding:

Olympic Mountains, Washington

All we wanted was to exchange our vows privately in a wild place that meant something to us surrounded by a handful of people that meant even more to us.

My biggest advice is to do what feels right to you as a couple. A wedding should be about celebrating your love and nothing more. Decide what’s really important to you and stick with it.

We both grew up on the Olympic Peninsula so the Olympic mountains feel like home to us. The specific spot we chose feels so wild but its also easily accessible and only one hour from our house. It’s the most perfect place to watch a sunset and experience almost complete silence.

Jordan is amazing to work with! One of our favorite things about him is how easy-going he is. He’s just an all around pleasant person and very comfortable to be around which is SO important when choosing a photographer. Obviously, he’s crazy talented, too!

The whole experience was so memorable but a few things stand out. I (Noelle) loved stopping on the side of the road and picking wildflowers for our bouquets! I also loved looking around during our ceremony and seeing tears in all of our friends’ eyes. So beautiful and special! We also were given the most breathtaking sunset. The light was a spectacular orange and everything was glowing. So perfect!

Our ceremony location was breathtaking on it’s own so we wanted out outfits to be very simple. We both love the natural beauty of nature so that was our inspiration for the overall feel.

The Wedding Team:

Photography – Jordan Voth
Venue – Olympic Mountains
Wedding Dress – Rue De Seine
Bridesmaids’ Apparel – Free People, Anthropologie
Groom’s Apparel – J. Crew
Rings – Alexis Russell

 

Congratulations to Noelle and Braden, and a big thanks to Junebug member Jordan Voth for sharing their elopement with us! If you can’t get enough of Jordan’s work, take a look at these photographers who exchanged vows in a passionate Iceland elopement!
