Rustic DIY Sodo Park Wedding in Seattle, WA

September 30, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Ngoc and Ron’s Sodo Park wedding in an urban loft in downtown Seattle blended rustic details with modern day elegance. The vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and reclaimed lighting combined with artistic DIY accents from the centerpieces to the floral designs created a romantic, natural feel with bohemian and rustic vibes that were beautifully captured by In Frames Photography. The groom, an artist and graphic designer, created the invitations and wedding favors, adding a fully customized touch to the entire day. We love how the bride’s stunning bohemian off-the-shoulder flutter sleeve wedding gown by Daughter of Simone carried beautifully from their casual park ceremony full of greenery to the rustic-industrial reception.

Soho Park, Seattle, Washington

The most important thing for us while planning our wedding was to stay true to who we are, and not get carried away with all the extras that were not that important. We knew we wanted a beautiful laid back wedding, surrounded by our close friends and family, and thats what we focused on.

The most memorable part of our day was our wedding ceremony and first look. It was full of emotion, happy tears, and laughter. Our first look was definitely a favorite memory. Morgan was able to capture our raw emotion and reaction so perfectly. We could just look back at those photos any given time and remember exactly how we felt at that exact moment. It was nothing short of a dream.

My main advice to couples is to not stress too much and just enjoy the process. There will always be something that doesn’t go exactly as planned, but you’ve just got to remind yourself the real reason why you’re here. You are lucky enough to have found the one human you can’t live without and that is the most beautiful thing!

We wanted our wedding vibe to really reflect our style, who we are, and our love. We aren’t the glitz and glam type, so the overall theme we went for was romantic, natural, with a touch of boho and a rustic feel.

My talented husband is an artist and thankfully is great with graphic design as well, so he completely designed and made our wedding invitations. My mom did all the floral arrangements at the reception. Everything at our wedding ceremony and reception tables were made, designed, and put together by us and the help from our bridal party and family. We also made our own wedding favors for our guest. It was a lot of work, but we had fun doing it, and got to add our custom touch to it all.

September 29, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Photographer Rachel Wakefield captured this truly free spirited and adventurous sweetheart session in the Arizona desert, with iconic viewpoint Horseshoe Bend offering a breathtakingly beautiful background. Rolling sand dunes, layers of brightly covered cliffs and dramatic skies were only able to garnish the love and happiness Sarah and Jorge clearly have for each other. The scenery is no match for their unbridled joy and passion. We love the complete fearlessness of this couples shoot, taking their love to new heights and bright horizons!

High Fashion Inspired Northern Ireland Wedding at Drenagh House

September 29, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Tanice and Jon-Paul’s dreamy and elegant wedding was inspired by the lush fairytale Drenagh Estate and rococo collections by Gucci and Dolce and Gabbana. The bride wore silver Gucci mules, a gorgeously modern Elizabeth Fillmore gown with perfect draping, and a stunning D&G inspired crown she DIY’d in the weeks before the wedding. This emotional and intimate takeover of the Georgian manor and acres of private gardens and wooded forest was the perfect setting for a relaxed wedding full of high fashion glamour and style and Chris Copeland Photography captured it beautifully.

The Couple:

Tanice and Jon-Paul

The Wedding:

Drenagh Estate, Northern Ireland

We decided that for something so special, the most important thing for us was to have an intimate weekend full of those who fully supported us.

I really wanted to wear a crown, but they were all so pricey so I spent a night a couple of weeks before making my own. I was inspired by D&G and Ashish and neither my bank balance or husband-to-be were up for forking out for one, so I went to a local craft shop, bought wire and beads and got to work. I needed tiny pliers and my hands were cut to pieces, but it turned out well.

I walked in to an acoustic version of ‘She’s Royal’ by Taurus Riley and our first dance was to ‘I Feel Good’ by Beres Hammond.

I was totally inspired by the Gucci Garden campaign; florals, clashing colours, beautiful fabrics, feminine. My wedding dress was my dream! Many years ago I saw some Elizabeth Fillmore pieces on the runway and fell in love. I really didn’t think I would actually get to wear one – but dreams do come true! I loved that my dress was comfortable (enough to hike a 3yo around on my hip), figure hugging, simple yet ornate. I’ll certainly get my wear out of it (watch this space). I accessorized it with some Gucci mules, diamanté earrings and my DIY crown.

We chose our music the day before and just went with it. I think it’s the most memorable part of our day because without any planning we had the most natural and meaningful dance ever.

Our groomsmen wore tux and the little ones just about wore what they were supposed to. We couldn’t find our flower girls shoes and tights on the morning of the wedding – so they wore beautiful, ivory satin dresses with their own socks and trainers. Our sons (aged 9 & 3) wore matching tux which they kept on for around half an hour after the ceremony.
