Stylish British Columbian Wedding at Eagle Ranch

January 29, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Stylish couple Laura and Dallas married at Eagle Ranch in a festive, laid-back, and intimate British Columbian wedding. The resort boasts incredible views from every angle, with a gazebo that made for a picturesque ceremony spot. We would be remiss not to mention the quirky details that made us go giddy over this wedding, like the groom’s plaid Topman suit or the parrot that joined them for post-ceremony portraits. Photographer Carey Nash captured every unexpected and perfectly Laura and Dallas detail, and you’ve really got to see them all for yourself!

The Couple:

Laura and Dallas

The Wedding:

Eagle Ranch, Invermere, British Columbia

I remember feeling so calm and happy. We woke up so relaxed and had a slow, easy morning together before things got underway. Throughout the day there were so many times I noticed myself smiling and I felt so aware of how happy I was to feel the love from our family, friends, and Dallas.

In the planning process, our idea of the perfect day was one where we could be laid-back and enjoy the time with our family, friends, and each other. We didn’t want all of the extra bells and whistles. We just wanted a day where we felt like we were participating in it rather than on the sidelines orchestrating a large event.

We chose Eagle Ranch in Invermere because we have spent a lot of time in the area and the clubhouse is so beautiful that we didn’t really have to do anything to decorate. The view from the gazebo where we got married is unparalleled and it’s only a short five minute walk to the clubhouse where we had the reception. We really wanted an outdoor wedding but were worried about a potential for bad weather. At Eagle Ranch, they have a huge patio that overlooks the mountains and there was enough room for our guests to either be indoors or outdoors if they chose to.

During the speeches we were able to convey our gratitude and love for everyone that surrounded us, including each other.

Modern Classic Wedding at The Room on Main

January 28, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

We have a soft spot for modern classic weddings here at Junebug; we just can’t say no to a classic wedding that has been elevated with exciting and unique new elements to create something we’ve never seen before. Angela and Jack’s Dallas wedding at The Room on Main is a fabulous example of this pro styling in action. The Room on Main is a stylish downtown venue with big windows and mirrors throughout. Rather than taking things totally feminine with the decor, Events by Kristin incorporated antlers for a truly modern take on the elegant Texas wedding. Shaun Menary Photography captured the quiet magic between Angela and Jack on their big day, as well as these details that you’re going to want to keep in mind for your own wedding!

The Wedding:

The Room on Main, Dallas, Texas

I would love to be able take credit for the style and design of our wedding but my sister, the maid of honor, was really the driver behind the aesthetics of our big day. She has a strong sense of style, and growing up I pretty much just copied everything she wore, so it was not a big surprise that I let her handle the stylistic details of our wedding! The feel for the wedding was classic with a modern twist — we did a neutral color palette for the tables and used shades of blush and greenery as pops of color for the centerpieces. Additionally, since my colors were blush, gold, and ivory we didn’t want the space feeling too feminine so we had Stems, our floral team, scatter antlers throughout the center pieces. While the Room on Main has a very classic feel they have these great modern mirrors placed around the bar and entry way. I wanted to build off of that modern twist and ended up using mirrored picture frames as the table numbers. We loved how our vendors were able to create a space and vibe that felt elegant, yet warm and welcoming!

We knew we would be getting married in Dallas and wanted to find a venue that was classic but still felt modern. When Jack and I visited The Room on Main in Downtown Dallas, we immediately fell in love with the space. The floor to ceiling windows were breathtaking, and we knew our guests would fall in love with the views of downtown Dallas at night. Additionally, the dance floor was huge! We knew our family and friends were going to spend the majority of the night on the dance floor and the Room on Main could provide more than enough space to dance the night away.

Paper Dresses So Pretty You’ll Second Guess Your Traditional Gown

January 28, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

It’s hard to believe that anything could steal the show from the Fiji Highlands, but these paper dresses are so beautiful that we can hardly look away! Kama Catch Me arranged at photographed this naturally elegant shoot inspired by the unique gowns. Tabuadrau Designs crafted the three paper wedding gowns featured in this photo shoot, each dress with varying design elements perfect for a bride with earthy vibes in her day.

From the photographers: Captured in the Fijian Highlands, we felt it important to shine a spotlight on two import factors, the first being the connection to nature through the use of custom made paper dresses, and the location being the Fijian Highlands, as opposed to the cliche beach environment synonymous with Fiji.

The three dresses that feature throughout are made from the bark of the Mulberry Tree (Broussonetia Papyrifera), which means that they are paper dresses, or “Masi,” as is more commonly known here in Fiji. The process of stripping the bark off the Mulberry Tree to its finished product is both a lengthy and laborious task, but it is how the Pacific Islands once clothed themselves (though not as elaborate), before the introduction of cotton.

Event Planning – Gitte Ropate Kama
Floral Design – Grace Creations
Hair & Makeup Artist – Ash Phaneuf
Wedding Dresses – Tabuadrau Designs

A big thanks to Kama Catch Me for sharing this incredible bridal inspiration with Junebug! For more of their Fiji wedding photography, check out Yanna and Peter’s traditional Greek wedding in Fiji.
