Jenny and Kevin’s wedding in County Durham took place at the bride’s family home where a romantic garden set the scene for a relaxed and beautiful day. Simply Perfection Weddings transformed the yard into a stunning ceremony location with towering trees framing the couple as they said “I do.” Paul Santos Photography captured every charming detail and each sweet moment shared between Jenny and Kevin on their wedding day.

The Couple:

Jenny and Kevin

The Wedding:

County Durham, Northeast England

When it came to choosing my dress, I realised that I wanted something slightly different. I knew I wanted fitted but I didn’t want anything too structured. I’d tried on about 100 (not joking!!!!) and never thought I’d get “the one” moment, but with this one I really did! It had godets on the bottom which I hadn’t seen before and it just made me feel special and glamorous, but still a bit boho.
I kept the jewelry simple with pearl earnings borrowed from my mum and a diamond necklace that Kev had made from my mums wedding and engagement rings which were given to me on the morning of the wedding. I also wore a beautiful flower crown in my hair with a floor length veil.

The ceremony was amazing. I was so nervous the weeks leading up to it, but as soon as I heard the music I was so happy, and seeing Kev at the bottom of the aisle is something I’ll never forget.

The wedding was in my mum and stepdad’s back garden, so I suppose everything that we bought and made fit in with the surrounding countryside. We had lots of flowers, white bunting, Hessian table runners, wicker hearts, and candles. We also used a lot of our existing furniture and bits and bobs to make it a bit more personal.

Pacific Northwest Wedding Inspiration at Rattlesnake Ledge

November 16, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Pacific-Northwest-Wedding-Inspiration-at-Rattlesnake-Ledge-Sweet-Pea-Events-086

Are you so in love that you want to shout it from the mountaintops? This epic wedding inspiration is exactly what you’re looking for. This remote elopement with romantic details and the majestic views of the Pacific Northwest was designed by Sweet Pea Events, who were inspired by their first experience hiking up Rattlesnake Ledge. Allen Tsai Photography captured each and every pretty detail, from the Silk and Willow ribbon around a wildly beautiful bouquet by Studio 3 Floral Design to the watercolor macarons from Little Squirrel Bakery.

From the Designer: Who doesn’t love a good wedding on top of the world? The inspiration for this shoot came to us upon the first time hiking up Rattlesnake Ledge. The breathtaking views make you feel as if you are literally on top of the world. We designed an organic, natural and elopement wedding. Thinking about our Seattle brides, we incorporated trends and favorite companies seen around the city.

The Inspiration: We wanted the main focus of the inspiration shoot to be the stunning scenery and only add to that beauty. We kept the florals and decor very organic and natural with lots of greenery and dull colors. Starbucks, macarons and donuts are all key players for a Seattle brunch, so why not include them into your wedding? Finally, our couple finished off their elopement inspiration with a hike through the woods to start off their new lives together!

Chic-Maryland-Wedding-at-Aspen-Wye-River-Vesic-Photography-274

From their first date to the first look on their wedding day, Rebecca and Raymond have shared some of the most important moments of their lives at Aspen Wye River Marriott. The beautiful, lush grounds in Queenstown, Maryland was full of golden light and nostalgia as the couple said “I do” in an outdoor ceremony. Vesic Photography captured the romantic energy in every frame documenting Rebecca and Raymond’s extraordinary day.

We always knew we wanted to get married at Aspen Wye River. The property is special to us for many reasons: Raymond spent numerous teenage summers working around the property; Raymond‘s father managed the property for over 10 years; and, it was the site of our first date — a picnic on the dock of the Chesapeake Bay. The property has two large estates that are beautifully landscaped and our plan was to let the location speak for itself.

Hooman Bahrani at Vesic Photography was the best. Not only did he take the most amazing photos, but his energy and thoughtfulness is exactly what you want to be surrounded by on your wedding day.

Our favorite part of the day was having a private moment immediately after the ceremony to enjoy our first few moments of marriage just the two of us.

We highly recommend our venue! Aspen Wye River made planning easy — a built-in day-of planner to help with logistics, on-site accommodations to create the feel of a destination wedding, great food and unbelievable scenery. And last but not least: the most amazing staff that treats you like family.
