The Moments:

Everything about our ceremony was beautiful: the venue, the guests, seeing each other and the vows.

The Couple Recommends:

Ann the wedding planner at the castle was fantastic. She took care of everything and as a result the wedding ran like a dream. She was incredible at her job.

Nick the photographer was such a professional. He knew the venue so well all the hidden gems and found the most beautiful natural light. As well as being a genius he is also a true gentleman.

Debbie, my friend who has never done flower arrangements or wedding flowers in her life, designed bouquets that were just stunning as were the flowers around the venue. A very talented lady and special friend.

Retro Missouri Wedding on the Family Farm

July 20, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

045

A sentimental gown was the source of inspiration for Maggie and Joseph’s retro wedding. The bride wore her grandmother’s gown from the 1950s, which was perfectly complemented by a set of custom printed fit-and-flare bridesmaid dresses. Keeping in line with the sentimental elements of their day, couple decided to hold their wedding the family farm in Missouri, which made for positively gorgeous portraits thanks to the talent of Aaron & Whitney Photography.

The Couple:

Maggie and Joseph

The Wedding:

Private Farm, Missouri

The Inspiration:

My inspiration was my wedding dress, which was my grandmother’s gown from the 1950s. The vintage look and the gold sash around the waist served as the perfect twist between vintage and glitz. There was gold glitter everywhere at the reception, and everything seemed to sparkle. The bridesmaids dresses were custom-made from vintage floral cotton fabric. I designed the stationary and invitations and embellished each one with gold glitter.

The Moments:

My favorite moment from the wedding was our entrance to the reception. There was a candle-lit pathway through the hay pasture for our limo to drive down, and all of the guests were waiting for us with gold sparklers. When we got out of the car everyone was cheering for us and I realized we had all our loved ones in one place. It was an awesome feeling.
