Between Erica and Jeffrey’s thrilling first look on a cliff, the open air chapel of Camp Mitchell, and the endless rustic elegance throughout their wedding decor, our hearts are all a flutter this afternoon. Erica’s romantic lace mermaid gown and the cascading pink ribbon from her bouquet made for insanely jaw-dropping portraits as the soon-to-be husband and wife embraced on a rocky overlook with Arkansas in the background. Post-ceremony, the newlyweds and guests indulged in three delicious cakes, displayed beautifully upon a vintage dresser.

The Couple:

Erica and Jeffrey

The Wedding:

Camp Mitchell, Morrilton, Arkansas

The most memorable part of the day was when we saw each other at our first look. He looked so handsome standing there waiting for me, and the view was breathtaking. Truly, that moment felt like a fairytale! Not to mention I had been a ball of nerves all morning, worrying about wedding details, but being able to hug him and speak to him before the ceremony made it all come into perspective.

From the moment we got engaged, I knew that finding an amazing photographer was going to be my most important task. I wanted to be confident that every moment of the day was documented perfectly and that whoever we hired had some incredible talent. It took me six months to find what I was looking for! We are so lucky to have found Connor & Danielle!

For our ceremony, we wanted something different. Camp Mitchell is not a place where weddings are held every weekend. In fact, they only do a few a year during their off season. It was a pretty original place! I hunted for months and when we walked into that open air chapel on the cliff, we knew that was where we would get married.

In three words, I would describe our wedding to be elegant, vintage, and rustic. I chose to use mainly mercury glass centerpieces, a few milk glass and antique silver, along with vintage wooden pieces. We even hung string lights over the dance floor. Jordan’s Vintage Rentals did a great job doing our set up and it looked exactly as I would have hoped!

With delicate flowers tucked into her soft blonde hair, Emily said “I do” to Mark in a traditional church ceremony in Portugal. Pedro Vilela so beautifully captured the couple’s quiet excitement as they met at the altar and prepared to exchange vows in front of their loving community. The celebration continued at Penha Longa, where Portugal Wedding Planners created a romantic scene of fairy lights and pink ambiance.

The Couple:

Emily and Mark

The Wedding:

Penha Longa, Sintra, Portugal

Seeing Mark and the whole ceremony, I was so nervous to walk down the aisle but as soon as the doors opened I felt totally relaxed. When I saw him standing at the altar I was ridiculously happy.

My dress was by Emma Hunt and was beautiful. I was lucky enough to be able to customise the dress specifically for me. I knew I wanted lace and I wanted something fitted but that was also soft and flowing. My favourite thing about it was the scalloped edging round the neck and the train. I also had a floor length veil, it was amazing! I had flowers and braids in my hair to keep with the romantic look.

We wanted a really intimate wedding with a romantic and informal vibe. The venue is was built in the 13th century and the building is pink so that informed a lot of style choices! We kept everything soft and romantic with a lot of candles, fairy lights and flowers and had pink lighting inside.

Blush California Wedding at Manka’s Inverness Lodge

February 14, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Blush-California-Wedding-at-Manka-Inverness-Lodge (32 of 35)

Wishing to have an intimate wedding that felt more like a dinner party with the people they love than anything else, Laura and Eric chose Manka’s Inverness Lodge in Inverness, California for its small space that kept the size down to around 50 guests. It didn’t require mics or emcees, so the reception was filled with wonderful conversations. Laura, with the help of planner Christy Matthews Events, created a day that couldn’t have been more special. Soft-blush florals and elegant décor perfectly complemented the romantic venue. Photographer Edyta Szyszlo captured breathtaking images of the couple as they enjoyed their big day!

From the bride: Buying the dress was actually the very first wedding decision that was made and it really set the tone because it was blush pink. Having the dress actually helped make the venue decision – it had the same ridiculously romantic vibe as the dress. The grey weathered wood at the boat house was really striking with pale pink. From there, the wedding party dressed in grey and the florals picked up some of the blush tones although they were predominantly green succulents. Most fun were the pink hobnail water glasses.

From the couple: The most memorable part of the day was when we snuck away during dinner and strolled down the end of the pier over the Tomales Bay. It was dark with candles along the pier and the moonlight. It was just the two of us, but the music from the band and the sound of our closest friends and family talking and laughing floated out from the boat house. We danced on the pier with no audience, pausing to appreciate each other and the day. It was our real first dance.
