Lavish Yet Laid-Back Tuscan Wedding at Villa Passerini

December 31, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

It’s hard to imagine a more romantic place to get married than Tuscany, and Kristina and Daniel’s gorgeous wedding at the grand Villa Passerini is yet another example why! We’re totally obsessed with the luxurious yet down-to-Earth dynamic the couple created with the expert help of event planner Hans Schuster. The couple focused on creating a rich, comfortable experience for their family and friends without overwhelming them with too many details, and we think they nailed it. On one hand, you have the bride who rocked not just one but two incredible custom gowns from the IamYours Signature Collection. On the other hand, you have minimal décor that centered around candles and olive branches, which created a romantic Italian boho vibe. Kreativ Wedding definitely pulled out all the stops to capture every beautiful moment of this lovely wedding!

The Couple:

Kristina and Daniel

The Wedding:

Villa Passerini, Cortona, Italy

Rather than give favors to all the guests, Kristina gave her bridesmaids, mother, and sisters wedding boxes with a handwritten letter, a Jenny Yoo robe for getting ready, and some smaller gifts.

Daniel kept it a little simpler and gave his groomsmen, who traveled a long way to celebrate this special day, individually engraved silver pocket flasks with personal notes thanking them for celebrating the best party of Daniel’s life with him.

When we started planning our wedding, it quickly became clear that we were looking for a laid-back place, something rustic yet beautiful, something where we could have a beautiful celebration in the garden without being too fancy or too formal. We wanted everyone to feel comfortable. When we walked through the gates of Villa Passerini, saw the beautiful nature, the vines on the small hills, the old fire water pond, the stables and the stunning villa with the amazing Limonaia and its frescos, we were just blown away. Villa Passerini was the perfect place for us, combining luxury and elegance with understatement and coziness.

From the groom: The most memorable part was seeing Kristina for the first time walking down the aisle with her sisters, her mum, and her bridesmaids right behind her. She was just breathtaking. I always thought I was going to be as cool as a cucumber standing in front of all of our guests with my best men next to me, but when I heard the first song, the violins playing, and Kristina in the most amazing dress I’ve ever seen, I had tears in my eyes.

From the bride: For me, it was the exact same moment: when I saw Daniel standing there in his beautiful tux, and when I saw how many of our dearest friends took on the long journey just to celebrate with us on this special day. I felt super nervous yet absolutely happy to marry the man of my dreams and the love of my life!

Kristina’s two wedding dresses were designed and hand-made at IamYours in Dusseldorf. The fashion designers and master tailors at IamYours did an amazing job transferring Kristina’s vision for two very unique and absolutely stunning wedding gowns into reality.

This Vibrant Fall Wedding Inspiration Gives Us The Warm Fuzzies

December 30, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

this-vibrant-fall-wedding-inspiration-gives-us-the-warm-fuzzies-weddings-by-alexandra-26

The romantic glow of candlelight, the rich autumnal hues, and an intimate setup by the fireside makes this vibrant fall wedding shoot one of the coziest we’ve ever seen! Weddings by Alexandra created this gorgeous shoot filled with lush florals from June Bloom Events and nature-inspired furniture from Sparks + Splinters. The way Gaetz Photography captured every detail with creativity and energy is visually captivating! Any of these unique details would be the perfect finishing touches for an outdoor fall wedding.

From the event planner: Despite the declining temperatures, for most, fall means coziness, comfort, and warmth. Perhaps it is nature’s warm color palette or the fact that wool sweaters are back in fashion. Maybe it’s the smell of pumpkin spice in the air, but something about fall is just so special. The inspiration behind this styled shoot was that special fall feeling: outdoor meets indoor, cool meets warm, crisp meets cozy.

The color palette for this shoot was inspired by the lush Canadian fall landscape. The bouquet and centerpieces were filled with rich oranges, dark reds, and vibrant greens. Dahlias, roses, berries, and leafy greenery were surrounded by the golden glow of candlelight and firelight. Together these details brought the comfort of the indoors outside for the coziest outdoor fall shoot.

Glitzy Rustic DIY Wedding in Oxnard, California

December 30, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

glitzy-rustic-diy-wedding-in-oxnard-california-hanna-photography-22

This gorgeous rustic DIY wedding has all the glitzy style and natural beauty we love about California weddings! With tons of help from their family and friends, Genna and Justin DIYed most of their wedding day décor, including the setup, dinner, and dessert. The couple decorated cozy vignettes to display favors and personal keepsakes, and mixed copper and silver metals with lace and wood textures for a simple yet lush feel. Rather than a traditional fall color palette, the couple chose dark grays, blues, and pinks – which was a refreshing twist that speaks to the effortlessly cool style of this adorable couple. The bride looked stunning in a lace Maggie Sottero gown and sweeping romantic half-up hairdo. The incredibly talented Hanna Photography captured every detail with such intention and creativity!

The Couple:

Genna and Justin

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Oxnard, California

Choosing the hair and make-up vendors was definitely the hardest part for me. I am a hairdresser, so finding someone for hair/makeup was very difficult as I am extremely picky. I do all of my bridesmaids’ hair regularly, so to trust someone with their hair for the wedding seemed almost impossible…until I found Blushing Beauty. They were SO TALENTED and professional! I wanted a very soft look – nothing too “bridal” – and they did exactly what we all wanted.

Our ceremony was personalized by my husband’s cousin marrying us. He did a fantastic job, and it made our ceremony even more special to have a family member marry us! We also wrote and said our own vows, which were so special to read in front of our closest family and friends. We did not do a “first look,” which really made our ceremony more emotional and made it feel so close and intimate.

I think the most memorable part of the whole day was walking down the aisle. Walking with my father was so special to me. He is my best friend and to have him give me to my future husband was so special.
