December 30, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

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.
