Naturally Romantic Greenhouse Elopement Inspiration at Kingwood Center Gardens

August 6, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

We’ll be the first to admit we’re glad the greenhouse wedding trend is still going strong; otherwise, we wouldn’t have this stunning Kingwood Center Gardens elopement inspiration to gush over! Mann & Wife – Visual Storytellers teamed up with some of the most talented artists in the business to create this modern elopement shoot. The delicate pink and copper color palette set against the soft greenery of the succulents and cacti created the perfect balance of whimsical and feminine, and the raw wood details rounded out the natural feel. We’re hopelessly in love with every little detail in this shoot, from the subtle geometric patterned décor to pretty pops of pink to the brides’ perfectly coordinated ensembles (and gold shoes)!

From the photographer: This modern day elopement was brought to life after the photographer and stylist were inspired by the Kingwood Center Gardens greenhouse, which was comprised of muted green succulents and cacti as far as the eye could see! The ladies were fascinated by the idea of incorporating feminine pops of color with raw, natural elements and hoped to create a setting that would feel eclectic, whimsical, and moody. 

The plants’ muted green hues set the tone and foreground for the overall color palette of the shoot. Local artists custom-made most of the goods and also incorporated pink and copper with other organic elements to give it some flair. The uncut diamond in the ring, the unfinished wood altar, and the randomly placed geodes added to the charm of the overall shoot. 

When it came time to select a real-life couple, Aubrey and Aly were the first to come to mind. Aubrey is a personal chef and Aly is an on-air radio personality. They are both well-styled, twenty-somethings who will be married next October in true Cleveland style!

You’ll Love the Muted Color Palette in This Boho Chic Smoky Hollow Studios Wedding

August 6, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Between the industrial-meets-vintage Smoky Hollow Studios venue, the couple’s boho style, and the chic muted color palette, this California wedding was the perfect combination of elegant and down-to-earth. The venue, which featured exposed brick, café lights strung from the rafters, and a cozy outdoor patio, provided just the intimate setting Jalisah and Jake’s wanted to express their artsy personalities and create a memorable day for themselves and their loved ones. Every little detail was truly a reflection of this sweet couple, but we have a feeling their live performance at the end of their reception was the most magical moment for their guests. We love that Jalisah and Jake focused so much on creating an authentic and heartfelt day, and we love even more that they hired the talented Randi Kreckman to put her visual storytelling magic to work in capturing every moment!

Eclectic DIY North Carolina Wedding at Watershed Cabins Resort

August 5, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Emily and Evan’s wedding at Watershed Cabins Resort was as heartfelt as it was charming and eclectic! This creative couple and the groom’s handy father DIY-ed nearly every detail of the décor, from the signs to the table settings and even the lighting. They chose a rustic vibe to fit in with the mountain setting and added an eclectic twist by mixing simple wood accents with whimsical, free-form floral centerpieces created by Lady Luck Flower Farm. We love how this couple kept their reception menu fresh and relaxed by hiring a local pizza truck to cater the event. Anete Toming Photography captured every moment of this North Carolina wedding so beautifully, especially the couple’s romantic first look on a secluded bridge in the middle of the woods!

The Couple:

Emily and Evan

The Wedding:

Watershed Cabins Resort and Natahala Village, Bryson City, North Carolina

The most memorable part of the day for us was our first look! It was a relief to step away for a few moments to focus on each other. Our first look was set back on a bridge near a small waterfall. We read letters to each other and just enjoyed each other’s company. It was a moment that we will never forget.

We could not have asked for a better photographer! Anete and I met a couple of years ago while we were living in New York City for the summer (both with different reasons). The day we met, we hung out, grabbed some pizza, and went to a group hang out where people immediately thought we had been close friends for years. When, in reality, we only had known each other for a couple of hours! Since then we have stayed close and in contact. I knew her photography was my favorite, so when I got engaged it was a no brainer of who was going to be my photographer!

On the day of the wedding, Anete was more that just a photographer for me; she was my best friend who knew exactly what I needed at all times. Whether it was water or food — or just a hug and a laugh — Anete was more than I could have ever asked for! She guided Evan and I perfectly for the first look. She was sweet and calm, generous and humble. The photos that she got were phenomenal — it’s almost like she was two different people and in two different places at once! I myself have photographed weddings (mostly as a second shooter), so I was in awe of all the photos she got herself. She is an incredible human and an equally incredible photographer!

Our favorite photo would have to be the one of us jumping off of the picnic table in the air with the mountains in the background. It’s not just a photo; it is an image that explains Evan and I really well. We like to have fun and that was the moment that really captured the lightheartedness of the whole day.

We had the Amazing Pizza Co. pizza truck cater the wedding! They did 5 different varieties of pizza for the day: Italian Delight, Margherita, Cheese, Pepperoni, and BBQ Chicken. It was unorthodox and a ton of fun! The pizza was tasty and such a hit. Everyone loved it!

The cake was created by the coolest pastry chef ever, her name is Sarah Fagan, and we used to work in a kitchen together! She drove all the way from Charleston, SC to be there, and we could not have been more thankful! The flavors were coconut cake and a raspberry chocolate ganache.
