June 19, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

A rural Southern lawn, winding paths, and elaborate landscapes lend this wedding a rustic charm that you can only find in Texas! Brynne and Logan tied the knot at Austin’s Antebellum Oaks, and their friends and family were treated to a day full of stunning vintage details. The wedding colors of orange and navy (the groom’s a huge Chicago Bears fan!) was gorgeously reflected through vibrant jewel tones in the florals, decor, and even the groom’s and groomsmen’s attire. Sophie Epton Photography captured Brynne and Logan’s amazing day with the rustic spirit that the Texas Hill Country is known for.

The Couple:

Brynne and Logan

The Wedding:

Antebellum Oaks, Austin, Texas

We wanted the whole day to be filled with things that were representative of us as a couple. From the food and music, to the family style tables and table settings. Everything we chose told a story about who we are and the things we value most in life.

I always wanted to feel elegant in my wedding dress. It was important for me to feel like myself while wearing the dress, but I also wanted something that was unique and “not just another lace wedding dress.” The illusion neckline, unique lace, and detailing on the back was everything I ever wanted.

The most memorable moments were when I turned the corner to walk down the aisle and…
1.) Saw our flower girl dancing in circles as she tossed flower petals, and
2.) Felt Logan squeeze my hand and grin as he placed my wedding band onto my finger.

Sophie and Jordan are the best it gets when it comes to wedding photography. I can’t even begin to describe how talented they are as a couple, and how relaxed they make you feel when taking pictures. The entire photography experience was pure bliss with them.

To be completely honest…Logan got to pick the colors! I didn’t have my heart set on a specific color scheme and he is a huge Chicago Bears fan. Hence the navy and orange. We accented those colors with burgundy, soft pinks, and tons of greenery.

My Mom and I DIY’d some of the candles that were used in the centerpieces. We cut to tops off of empty wine bottles and then painted the tips gold. The dark green and gold contrasted beautifully against the colorful floral arrangements.

Fairy Tale Cabin Wedding in Northern Michigan

June 18, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

fairy-tale-cabin-wedding-in-northern-michigan-27

This fairy tale cabin wedding is so enchanting, even the Grimm Brothers would have to agree! Guests were transported into Tana and Cody’s real-life fantasy when they arrived at Tana’s family’s cabin in the woods of Northern Michigan for the couple’s special day. Every corner of Tana and Cody’s wedding was decked out in stunning DIY details like floral terrarium centerpieces, a cascading wall of books, and vintage-styled vignettes. We love how Chelsea Seekell Photography captured the whole day through a fairy tale lens with totally dreamy lighting, tons of romance, and even a happily ever after!

The Couple:

Tana and Cody

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Michigan

The most important part of planning our wedding was creating a celebration of love that really embraced who we are as a couple. We wanted our special day to be intimate, fun, and straight out of a fairytale!

fairy-tale-cabin-wedding-in-northern-michigan-25

We knew we wanted a fairytale wedding in the woods so we decided to have it at my family’s cabin in the woods in northern Michigan. Unfortunately, the cabin burned down right after we had decided to get married there. Everything was destroyed and we were heartbroken. Luckily, our amazing friends and family joined us and we spent the next year rebuilding everything from scratch. It took serious hard work and dedication but it turned out better than we could have ever imagined.

There were so many wonderful moments throughout our day but both of us agree that our first look was our favorite. Seeing each other for the first time privately in the middle of the woods before our ceremony, we were so excited and as soon as we saw each other we couldn’t help but cry tears of happiness, it was perfect.

For our ceremony, my grandpa got ordained and married us. It was so much more special having a family member marry us rather than someone we hardly knew. Also, our dogs were our flower girls.

Basically everything was DIY or vintage. We made table runners out of book pages and centerpieces with flowers and succulents. We also made a backdrop for photos out of old books, which was one of my favorite DIY projects.
