Naturally Glam Wedding at The Water Conservation Garden

September 18, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Naturally-Glam-Wedding-at-The-Water-Conservation-Garden (16 of 31)

Joanna and Jared’s outdoor wedding at The Water Conservation Garden in San Diego, California was filled with beautiful bright-red, pink, and ivory florals. Wishing to design the ultimate romantic garden reception, the couple covered the tables in lush greenery and strung cafe lights to dimly light the enchanting evening. Talented photographer Jasmine of Let’s Frolic Together captured the gorgeous, naturally glamorous day perfectly!

The Couple:

Joanna and Jared

The Wedding:

The Water Conservation Garden, San Diego, California

The Inspiration:

We wanted something simple and fun. We both enjoy the outdoors so an outdoor wedding was a given. We just wanted to create a relaxed environment not only for our guests but for us too. We got married at the Water Conservation garden in San Diego and had our reception, cocktail hour, and ceremony in different parts of the garden. I think that added to the fun and adventure of the day.

The Moments:

My favorite parts were anything that my friends and family were involved in. It meant a lot to us to have our community of friends and family participate in different parts of our wedding. My dad made our wedding arch and floral chandelier, my mom and aunt made the bouquets, my friends each brought a different part of communion (a different friend brought the table cloth, the wine and baked the bread, selected the song that played), our friends dj’d, my sister made the cakes, and my friends brought the different desserts.

The Couple Recommends:

Have fun and don’t worry so much about the details. We did the wedding on a budget and it was perfect. I hear brides all the time tell me that it’s all about the details. Well, I didn’t notice the details on the day. What meant the most was all the people that showed up and helped make it the best day ever. 

Jasmine was one of our few vendors. She was the best! I would definitely recommend her. She was so much fun and made us feel like rock stars on our special day!

Garden Wedding in Napa Valley

September 18, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Garden-Wedding-in-Napa-Valley (24 of 29)

Choosing a venue close to their hearts, Brendan and Jena hosted their rustic wedding at the bride’s family home and business, Forni-Brown-Welsh Gardens in California. Bright florals and rustic décor came together perfectly to create their garden party wedding. Adding another sentimental touch to this sweet wedding, the couple gave away homemade olive oil as favors. Clarkie Photography captured all the meaningful moments at this outdoor wedding in Napa Valley.

The Couple:

Brendan and Jena

The Wedding:

Forni-Brown-Welsh Gardens, Napa Valley, California

The Inspiration:

It was mostly taken from the location. We we’re extraordinarily lucky to have Forni-Brown-Welsh Gardens as our family home; and the family and friends that put so many years into cultivating the land also put so much love and care into our wedding.

The Moments:

Brendan: My favorite moment was when the entire party was just getting their seats for dinner; the sun was just setting on the Palisade mountains and the light was hitting all of our family and friends perfectly.

Jena: I think my favorite moment was immediately after the wedding, as we were walking down the aisle. In the pictures, you can really see the pure joy on both of our faces. Joy — mixed with love and relief!

The Couple Recommends:

We were very lucky in that everyone we worked with was wonderful! Everyone was extremely professional, timely and made the whole experience pleasant. 5 stars all around!

Adventurous Big Sur Elopement

September 18, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Adventurous-Big-Sur-Elopement (40 of 42)

After falling in love while watching the sun set and moon rise one night at Big Sur in California, Trevor and Michaela felt there was no place more perfect to have their wedding. Choosing to elope at the gorgeous cliffside, the couple stepped into a breathtaking backdrop for their wedding photos. We love how talented photographer Elicia Bryan takes the viewer on an adventure as she captures the excitement of the big day.

The Couple:

Trevor and Michaela

The Wedding:

Big Sur, California

The Inspiration:

The beauty of Big Sur. Michaela‘s dress was completely handmade for her by her mother, Kathleen Seward and close family friend Maureen Wiley, using lace from Kathleen’s wedding gown and other handpicked fabrics.Trevor gathered vintage and custom tailored pieces to compliment the natural colors of the Big Sur wilderness.

The Moments:

The excitement and treachery of scaling the cliff to get to the spot where we were to be wed. We chose a cliff side along Highway 1 about 50 ft below a turnout.

The Couple Recommends:

Joanna used the gold from Trevor‘s father’s college ring to create our rings. She even sent us back the remaining gold after the process. Elicia Bryan captured the beauty of our wedding effortlessly. Each moment she shot was genuine and natural. We felt like our day was being artfully documented rather than staged. We had a blast working with her.

Reception Venue – Argosy
Cake – Nadia Marie Belvanson
Officiant – Ronnie Johnson-Lopez
