This Agua Linda Farm Wedding is a Dream Come True for Flower Obsessed Brides

June 22, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

We really, really love flowers here at Junebug Weddings, so you can imagine our excitement when we found Ashley and Laura’s floral-forward wedding! Not only did Atelier de LaFleur do an amazing job with this wedding’s floral design, but Agua Linda Farm set the stage for Ashley and Laura’s wedding with its seriously breathtaking gardens. The couple applied their floral theme to as many DIY details as possible, including their flower seed escort display doubling as guest favors that instructed their guests to “Be Seeded.” We are so in love with Suzy Goodrick Photography‘s documentation of Ashley and Laura’s day, including their gorgeous couple portraits in Agua Linda Farm‘s surreal gardens!

The Couple:

Ashley and Laura

The Wedding:

Agua Linda Farm, Amado, Arizona

We wanted to make sure we took the most time picking the most genuine and talented vendors! We wanted our wedding to be romantic, laid back, and covered in flowers. I’m obsessed with flowers, so picking a quaint garden wedding vibe was easy. We chose unique colorful flowers and garden themed decorations.

I wanted to be vintage, elegant with lots of lace! Laura, being the tomboy, surprised me with her glamorous strapless dress with beautiful beading and a long train. I loved how simple our looks were, I wore no jewelry besides a gold hair piece. Our wedding party wore either a dress or suspenders and a bow tie depending on what they felt comfortable wearing.

Our wedding advice: First of all get a coordinator, she took all the stress away and we couldn’t have done it without her! Also if you are doing DIY, get a label making printer.. we saved so much on decor by making all of our own signs.

In a wheel barrel filled with soil we made wildflower seed packets with the names of our guests and their table numbers. We wanted our guests to be able to plant beautiful flowers at home, let love grow!

Candlelit Columbia Gorge Elopement

June 21, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Danielle and Ernie’s gorgeous Columbia Gorge elopement proves that all you need for a magical forest wedding are candles, some ceremonial wine, and a gorgeous historic spot to say “I do”! This couple’s intimate elopement included a hike to Skamania Old Stone House for their ceremony (in the middle of a surprise hailstorm!), smudging and wine-drinking ceremonies to reflect the bride’s Cherokee heritage, and a stunning trek through the great Oregon outdoors to celebrate their union. Jamie Jones Photography captured every detail of this inspiring elopement, including the bride’s lovely style that featured a marigold shawl and suede cranberry booties.

The Couple:

Danielle and Ernie

The Wedding:

Skamania Old Stone House, Columbia Gorge, Oregon

The most important part of planning was us. :) Doing what we wanted to do, making ourselves happy. We wanted a simple, private, romantic ceremony.

The suede cranberry booties and the maroon velvet tie decided the color theme. The flowers were beautiful. Sarah from SELVA did an amazing job with each floral piece we used!

To be honest, the HAILSTORM was the most memorable part! At the time the storm came through, Danielle was in the car on her way to the ceremony site, a old abandoned stone house in the woods. While Ernie was at the stone house lighting candles for the wedding! Ernie was out in the rain and hail in the woods, taking cover under a fallen tree! The storm passed quickly, the ceremony began, and the sun even shined through the trees.

Danielle has Cherokee in her blood. So, we used an Indian wedding vase to drink wine from, to celebrate and respect that Cherokee heritage. We also did a smudging ceremony to purify and bless the body, aura, and ritual space at the start of the wedding.
