This Game of Thrones Wedding Inspiration is the Cure to Your Westeros Withdrawals

September 7, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Game of Thrones is easily one of the most prolific pop culture touchstones of the moment, so it’s no wonder the Nordic-inspired elements of Westeros have seeped into the world of weddings! A talented team of wedding professionals in England were especially inspired by the HBO show and organized this shoot full of Scandinavian vibes and fashion worthy of the queen of dragons herself. Whether you’re a fan of the show or simply can’t get enough of natural, whimsical, bohemian styling, this Game of Thrones wedding inspiration will make your jaw drop!

From the Event Stylist, Redamancy: Whether or not you watch Game Of Thrones, it’s effect on the styling and creative hemispheres has been undeniable. It’s a band-wagon that everyone has jumped on for all of the right reasons. Not only is the storyline riveting, but the cinematography and overall wonder of Westeros is captivating. It’s the reason why Game Of Thrones-esque weddings have been so popular this year, with brides and grooms choosing to include select details as nods to the series that has inspired the Nordic wedding vibe to come back with unstoppable force. And so to coincide with the series 7 finale of Game Of Thrones, we wanted to create a styled shoot to convince couples that they’re totally able to theme their wedding around their favourite tv programme, without any of the gimmicks.

Despite being filmed in locations all over the world, Game Of Thrones is undeniably Scandinavian in its execution. The team of suppliers involved all came together to interpret this theme in a way that is subtle and yet definitely a firm nod to the Emmy-award winning show. From the Stark Direwolf detail on the bow-tie to the era-appropriate desserts, this shoot would fit right into a wedding in Winterfell, as well as encapsulating some of the key trends for 2018.

A scroll by Gray Starling Designs, declaring the beautiful exchange that fans will recognise as between Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen on their wedding day, cascades over the table summing up what this shoot is really about. In a world that is far from simple; love conquers all.

We were lucky enough to have Louise from Starr Gazing Ceremonies to demonstrate a hand-tying ceremony which is used in the weddings in Game of Thrones. With alternative ceremonies becoming more and more popular for weddings this year and next, it provided a real sense of authenticity and sent shivers down our spines as we watched from the shore as Louisa fastened ribbon around the hands of the bride and groom.

This Greenfield Farm Estate Wedding Brings the Botanical Wow Factor

September 7, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Jess and Ben’s outdoor wedding at Greenfield Farm Estate has all of the botanical beauty. With florals being one of the main focuses for their wedding day, these two killed it in dreaming up what they wanted, and The Fernery Co executed it all flawlessly. As if the blooms weren’t perfect enough, the scenery at Greenfield Farm Estate just added to the dreaminess of it all. With their photographer, Jason Corroto Photo, Jess and Ben took a moment to relax with their wedding party and had a quick picnic in the woods topped off with champagne.

The Couple:

Jess and Ben

The Wedding:

Greenfield Farm Estate, Sydney, Australia

I didn’t have style that I had in mind for my dress, I just wanted a dress that reflected me. I ended up designing a custom dress with the amazing Mariam Seddiq. I absolutely loved the pattern of beads that were hand sewn on my bodice and sleeves, the design Mariam created was perfect! I wanted to pair this back with simplistic bridesmaid dresses that had just a hint of colour. The boys were looking bold in their navy suits with burgundy accents.

We wanted a venue where the ceremony and reception could be held at the same location, and being a creative couple, one that also gave us the freedom to truly express ourselves with the styling. Greenfield Farm Estate allowed us to do both. Being surrounded by the most gorgeous scenery, we were able to draw upon this by surrounding our guests with as much floral goodness as possible. A relaxed venue we really tried to add a touch of magic to.

We have two favourite moments, the first being the morning of the wedding. After having spent the previous day styling and setting up the venue ourselves (with the help of our amazing family and friends), coming back to the venue the morning of the wedding was bliss – seeing everything ready and saying, yes this is where we’re getting married today! The second was giving ourselves some time out just after our photo session with the amazing Jason. We had a picnic set up in the rainforest for the bridal party and ourselves, decked out with canapés and wine. This allowed us to actually sit there and take it all in, whilst sipping on a champagne of course!

Having recently launched our own floristry business, The Fernery Co, flowers were the most important thing. Choosing a venue that allowed us to be able to express ourselves without any restrictions, in regards to flowers and styling was the main focus. Luckily we found a venue that allowed just that!

We both wrote down three things each we wanted as ‘must haves’ for our wedding day. We then showed each other, if we had the same thing we made sure it was a focal point of our day, the others we would try and work in. It’s a good way to make sure you are limiting yourselves to the things you want most. Otherwise you can get really carried away with wanting everything.

Lovely Vintage Wedding at the Houston Heights Fire Station

September 6, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Influenced by Kinfolk and Geraldine Magazines, Kathrine and Jeff’s vintage wedding at the Houston Heights Fire Station had a modern twist – they fell in love with the venue’s ability to encompass their own aesthetic and vibe. By adding simple decor with a lot of greenery and some blooms, Kathrine and Jeff wanted the venue to shine on its own. There were many personal touches to their day that included Kathrine and Jeff’s vintage wedding rings being their grandparents’ old rings. Joseph West Photography was there as a friend to the couple, but also to photograph one of the most important days of their lives.

The Couple:

Kathrine and Jeff

The Wedding:

Houston Heights Fire Station, Houston, Texas

Hire a wedding planner, even if you do most of the planning yourself. We have no doubt that the smoothness and overall enjoyment of the day was thanks to Maya. She works for Two Be Wed, but we really want to single her out, because she was so wonderful. Easy to work with, responsive, organized. We would definitely recommend working with her. If you can find room in your budget, please don’t put that stress on a family member or friend.

Jeff wore a black tux and paired it with a solid black bow tie from my line, Kathrine Zeren, and styled a vintage white handkerchief as the pocket square.

When it came to choosing a wedding dress, I wanted something that had a vintage feel without being too fussy. It also needed to feel comfortable. I knew that I’d probably be feeling a whole range of emotions the day of, and I wanted the least of my worries to be about my dress.

The whole day was so wonderful, but both our first look and the ceremony were really special. It was nice to have that moment alone with each other before the ceremony, a chance to pause and be quiet amidst all of the madness of the day.

The groomsmen wore dark navy suits with black neckties (also from my line) and vintage white handkerchiefs, each one unique, that we gave to them as part of their wedding party gifts.

My bridesmaids all wore blush-tone dresses of their choice. I’m not a fan of matching bridesmaid dresses, so this was a way for me to create a look that would complement both what I would be wearing as well as the flowers that they would be holding.

The ceremony itself was also just so…beautiful. The rain outside combined with Madeline and Micah’s voices and the flowers all around created such an etherial effect that it was almost breathtaking.

Joseph West, our wedding photographer, was really great. He’s not only one of Jeff’s best friends, but also super talented. Being a wedding photographer himself, Jeff wanted to choose someone he knew he could trust. Joseph did not disappoint.

We wanted something that would be fun and memorable not only for us, but also for our guests. Wanting it to also be reflective of our aesthetic, we chose an older building that would serve as the perfect backdrop and help to create the desired mood without having to add too many decorations. It was also an added bonus that we were able to have both the ceremony and reception in the same place.

Our favors were Jordan almonds & homemade chocolate chip cookies. Kathrine is half Turkish, and it’s somewhat of a tradition to have Jordan almonds at Turkish weddings. Jeff makes the BEST chocolate chip cookies (seriously – the best), and we thought it would be a fun late night snack to give out as the guests left the reception. (It was by far the largest batch of cookies that Jeff has ever made.)
