Alternative Bohemian Wedding at Storybook Farm

October 29, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Alternative-Bohemian-Wedding-at-Storybook-Farm-Julia-Kinnunen-Photography-8501

The only thing Liz and Anthony love as much as each other is music, so it’s no wonder the couple were married in what they call a “psychedelic bohemian” wedding reminiscent of 1970s hippie rock and roll. Held on Storybook Farm, the couple enlisted the help of Events by Ellen to see their wedding vision come to fruition, complete with DIY dream catchers, colored glass goblets, and natural elements inspired by the Pacific Northwest. With so many intricate details, Julia Kuinnen Photography had a lot to work with when capturing the festive and romantic celebration, and every capture is filled with Liz and Anthony’s one-of-a-kind personality.

The Couple:

Liz and Anthony

The Wedding:

Storybook Farm, Redmond, Washington

The Inspiration:

Anthony is a musician and we’re huge music fans. Though I knew our wedding would be rustic and country, based on the idyllic barn/vineyard setting and Anthony‘s family farming roots, we definitely wanted to put our own hippie rock spin on it all. We called it psychedelic bohemian.

The Moments:

It’s a toss up between our ceremony and our family speeches. All were off beat and incredibly powerful, funny and so moving. All were heartfelt moments we will hold with us for the rest of our lives.

The Couple Recommends:

Having just moved to Seattle when we began wedding planning we knew no one. After finding Julia Kinnunen on Thumbtack we knew we had struck gold! She is an extreme talent and her jovial and laid back bedside manner was perfect for the vibe we were hoping our photographer would have!

Beth McGeachie, out of LA, stunned our guests with her 60’s psychedelic rock save the dates and invitations. Personally designed and described by many as, “The coolest wedding invitation ever!”

Also, special shout out to The Pretty Shady String Band who set the perfect tone for our festival wedding. Go check them out busking at Pike Place Market!

Elegant Earthy Hacienda del Sol Wedding

October 29, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Earthy-Elegant-Hacienda-del-Sol-Wedding-MC-Weddings-and-Events-1058

Proving that desert weddings can be incredibly elegant, Megan and Aaron tied the knot at Hacienda del Sol in Tuscon, Arizona. Megan looked unbelievably beautiful in her off-the-shoulder lace Romona Keveza gown as she stood beneath the natural ceremony arch exchanging vows with Aaron. The navy and blush wedding party fashion influenced the decor throughout, as designed by M.C. Weddings & Events, who incorporated tall candles, earthy elements, and a clean aesthetic to fulfill Megan and Aaron’s vision.

The Couple:

Megan and Aaron

The Wedding:

Hacienda del Sol, Tuscon, Arizona

The Inspiration:

I am drawn to earthy color tones and knew I wanted a mostly white color palette. I imagined all white flowers with pops of green, ensuring a desert feel with succulents and other plants that were native to Tucson. I wanted my bridesmaids to stand out, so she chose navy and dusty rose for the girls’ dresses from Reformation, which is far from your typical ‘bridesmaid’ dresses — they even refer to them as “Babesmaids” dresses! I chose stunning king proteas for all of her girls to carry, one stem to enhance the drama of this gorgeous flower. For the reception, We both wanted a look that stood out from the original white table-clothed round tables you typically see at a wedding. We were drawn to farm house tables with dark brown wood for a more “family” feel as we wanted to ensure all guests felt like they were an extension of our family.

The Moments:

The ceremony because Pastor Dave did such an amazing job of ensuring the ceremony was very personable and unique to Aaron and myself. He had the crowd in stitches from laughing and tears of joy. We both wrote our owns vows to each other which made the moment even more special.

The Couple Recommends:

All of our vendors were incredible to work with! Meagan Crain of MC Events was an amazing person to have by our side through this process. Our wedding was technically ‘destination’ so we couldn’t have done the same things without Meagan there to guide us through the process. She helped us put our visions into reality and we will always thank her for her support!
