This Couple Dressed to Kill for Their Amalfi Coast Elopement at Villa Cimbrone

November 22, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Mountains, the coast, and charming Italian streets – there’s nothing missing from this Amalfi Coast elopement. With their love of traveling and exploring the mountains and coasts, Bela and Daniel decided that there was no other place to get married but at Hotel Villa Cimbrone. They kicked off their wedding day with choosing to get ready together the morning of their elopement – cue the aw’s and swooning. We can’t think of a better way to start your day! After becoming husband and wife, they explored all around the Amalfi Coast and into the town, still rocking their sleek and modern wedding clothes. Hand-in-hand, they spent the entire day together and watched the sunset and moonrise over the water. Matt Lien Photography was there every moment and step of the way, capturing this sweet elopement with his unique use of framing and use of light.

The Couple:

Bela and Daniel

The Wedding:

Hotel Villa Cimbrone, Salerno, Italy

We didn’t want to lose sight of what was important about being married by getting too caught up in so many details. We distilled it down to what was important to us. We decided to elope in Italy, honeymoon then celebrate later back home with our friends and family.

Working with our photographer was a dream! So easy. Matt was professional, yet made the day so fun and care-free. Matt is a great photographer – super cool, so nice, really talented and we cannot recommend him more highly! We are so grateful to him for capturing the day so beautifully.

 

Elope! We can’t recommend it enough. It was the best day filled with so many laughs, so much love and happiness.

Villa Cimbrone is high up on the cliffs of the Amalfi with stunning views of the coast amongst the most beautiful gardens. We love traveling to mountains and to coastlines, so it was the perfect combination for us.

The most memorable moment of the day was watching the sunset and moonrise over the Amalfi Coast.

The Greenery in This Callanwolde Fine Arts Center Wedding is a Plant Lover’s Paradise

November 21, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

With all the greenery they could find, Carly and DJ’s wedding at the Callanwolde Fine Arts Center turned into the lush jungle of Carly’s dreams. Carly stayed true to her personal style and vibe with finding all the greenery and neutrals she could find to incorporate into her wedding day – the perfect palette for a timeless wedding look! Wearing a beautiful two-piece wedding dress from The Sentimentalist and an overgrown greenery crown from The Perfect Posey, Carly perfectly embodied a bohemian and classic look. Joining in on the celebration, Sarah Joy Photo shot for Melissa Prosser Photography to document the immense love and joy between these two sweethearts and their families.

The Couple:

Carly and DJ

The Wedding:

Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, Atlanta, Georgia

My girls and I stayed the entire weekend at the cutest boutique home in the Buckhead/Midtown neighborhood. My photographer, Sarah Joy, crashed our party of 11 and joined the fun to begin the day. The minute Sarah walked in to a house full of Cheetah Girl singing/fuzzy slipper wearing/mimosa drinking chaos, she filled the room with joy and laughter! Sarah and was personal and professional. She took note of the little details and made me feel like a queen! Throughout the day she catered to our every need and went above and beyond to make us feel special.

So many girls spend countless hours dreaming up a Pinterested wedding- and forget to include the details true to who they are. Your wedding is a day to reflect who you are as individuals and as a couple. Dream big and don’t forget to include the authentic details.

 

Dress shopping was hard. Dress after dress, I never felt convinced the dresses were ME. They were bedazzzled, sparkly, frilly, pearly white… and I didn’t feel like myself. After much searching, I found my dream dress at a vintage shop in Atlanta, The Sentamentalist. The staff at the Sentamentalist got to know me as a person– and helped me find the perfect summery, vintage, bohemian dress to complete my vision!

Though there are many favorite photos to choose from, I’d have to say my father daughter reveal pictures! My photographer captured the sweeter of moments between my daddy and I – an exchange with many tears of joys.

Dj and I were always sold on not seeing each other, but we definitely wanted to pray together before our vows. Best. Decision. EVER. Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of marriage. You were present and glorified.

We wanted a central location convenient for out of town guests. We got married at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center located in Atlanta’s Druid Hills neighborhood. The Callanwolde is a tudor revival style home that was originally owned by the Howard Candler family (founder of The Coca-Cola Company). Still day dreaming of this rainy day and reminiscing on the greatest of memories.

We wanted our ceremony to be centered in Christ— the foundation of marriage. DJ’s cousin, Sam, came ALL the way from Hawaii to marry us. Sam ALSO Facetimed us every single Sunday for a year to do marriage counseling all the way from Hawaii. A word of advice to all married/unmarried/single folk out there: marriage counseling was the absolute highlight of our relationship thus far. There were moments of truth, hurt, brokenness, sorrow, joy, triumph, peace, and comfort—- and every moment was worth the outcome. Our ceremony was the absolute favorite part of my day. We chose our favorite songs to be played throughout, included our parents and grandparents in moments of prayer, took communion with our best gals and men, exchanged personalized vows– and ended with an all inclusive selfie right before we walked off as husband and wife.

The food was my favorite part! We had a stationed wedding with tacos, sushi, Mediterranean food, shrimp and grits, and fondue – a combination of our favorite foods, because we couldn’t choose just one.

I’m a girl that melts for fresh greens. People used to ask me, “What is your color scheme?” I’d say, “I don’t have one! I just want all the greens + neutrals I can get. With a couple hints of vintage gold!” I wanted earthy, bohemian, and neutral.

Our favors were 2 Krispy Kreme donuts in a box. I mean, I donut know what else would’ve been better than 2 glazed donuts for the late night or dreadful morning.

Impossibly Romantic Mount Rainier National Park Elopement

November 20, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Grab the tissues, because this Mount Rainier National Park elopement is the sweetest thing! One of our very own Junebug members, Amber Phinisee, promised forever to her handsome groom, Tyler, in the forest with their three dogs as witnesses. These two were up for the ultimate adventure from driving across the country from Georgia and spending their entire wedding day outside – from getting ready to exploring Mount Rainier National Park until sunset. We are obsessed with Amber’s overgrown bouquet from Westerwisp and how whimsical and ethereal it is. Love Stories Co photographed and adventured alongside Amber and Tyler the entire day and we can’t get enough of the resulting images!

The Couple:

Amber and Tyler

The Wedding:

Mount Rainier National Park, Seattle, Washington

Patience of Intensify by Patience is my sister so it meant the most to have her in Washington with us and to be my makeup artist. We chose to go with a soft romantic look to compliment my bridal look and it was perfect. She made me look and feel like the most beautiful bride in the world. Also, my makeup remained flawless the entire day even after crying during my ceremony. She is truly the best!

When Tyler and I planned our elopement in Seattle we wanted it to be our greatest and most memorable adventure together of becoming one. It was a must to have our three sweet pups there with us so we decided to drive 40+ hours cross country from Georgia instead of flying just so that we could have Ellie, Summer, and Finn be a part of our day. Tyler and I wanted the location of our elopement to have stunning views and different than what we’re used to seeing in the south eastern coast. We had always talked about traveling to Seattle because of how beautiful it was so we decided to go for it even though we had never been!

We had never been to Washington, so the day before our elopement we traveled to Mount Rainier National Park with our closest family and friends to find the perfect location.

The most memorable part of our day was our ceremony in Mount Rainier National Park. The ceremony took place in an intimate setting in the woods with a serene breeze and golden sun peaking through the tall trees. God gave us the most perfect day. Tyler and I chose to write our own vows andwait until the ceremony to see each other. Our hearts were full of so much anticipation and joy as time lead to our ceremony. When the moment finally came, it was absolutely magical. Our joy was indescribable. Tyler was the first to read his vows and I will never forget the emotion that filled our eyes when he started with saying that he had a dream of this exact moment before. We shared so many tears and laughs together as we exchanged our vows. It was everything we could’ve possibly dreamed of and so much more.

Tyler surprised me a guitarist for our ceremony and first dance. He also surprised me tickets to Germany for our honeymoon!

It was incredible having Halie and Alec with us in Washington for our day! We could not have asked for more perfect photographers. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire day. We are forever grateful for their wonderful friendship and all the beautiful moments they captured for us.

 

The best advice that we can give to newly engaged couples is to have the wedding of your dreams and make the most of it. If you want to elope or have a small or big wedding in an epic location then do it! The wedding day should be about what you both want, not what everyone else wants.
