Untraditional and Intimate Bruny Island Wedding

May 26, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Untraditional-Intimate-Bruny-Island-Wedding-Eric-Ronald (19 of 36)

A patterned maxi dress is a showstopping fashion choice for a wedding, but nothing could have distracted from Sally and Tim’s love during their positively romantic intimate celebration on Bruny Island. The couple were surrounded by their closest loved ones as they said “I do” in a waterfront ceremony with the Pacific Ocean rolling in at their feet. The reception was held at the groom’s family’s home, which made for truly sentimental moments the couple will cherish forever thanks to the brilliant photography of Eric Ronald.

The Couple:

Sally and Tim

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Bruny Island, Tasmania

The Inspiration:

As we were getting married on Tim‘s family’s stunning property on Bruny Island, we felt like we didn’t need to add too much. The surroundings are so naturally beautiful and the whole feeling about the place is calm and tranquil. We didn’t feel the need to interfere too much with what was already there. Tim‘s family already have a beautifully decorated home and we really wanted the day to reflect that comfort and homeliness. As for fashion: fun, colourful and not too formal!

The Moments:

So many! The ceremony was magical, we couldn’t believe it. The weather was perfect for us that day, and it was completely still on the water. That was really special as the particular spot meant so much to us as we have spent a lot of time there over the years. We were also only surrounded by our closest family and friends so that added to the magic. Also, the dancing!

The Couple Recommends:

Eric was absolutely amazing! I knew even before we saw his photos that they would be wonderful. He is such a talented photographer who is so passionate about his work. Plus he’s just an awesome guy to hang out with on our wedding day!

The Wedding Team:

Photography – Eric Ronald
Venue – Private Residence
Floral Design – Lisa Kingston Flowers
Wedding Dress – Mister Zimi
Groom’s Apparel – ASOS

Congrats to Sally and Tim on their wedding at Bruny Island and thanks to Eric Ronald for sharing their amazing day! For more nontraditional wedding fashion, be sure to check out Carine and Chris’ geometric inspired Irish wedding.

Arabian Wedding Inspiration from Yas Island

May 26, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Arabia-Wedding-Inspiration-Yas-Island-Maria-Sundin (9 of 19)

As summer is officially in full swing, we are excited for the epic beach destination weddings happening all over the world. This bohemian beach inspiration comes from Abu Dhabi where photographer Maria Sundin captured the natural beauty of the rocky shore, wild breeze, and the neutral, pastel colors of Yas Island.

Here’s what Maria Sundin had to say about capturing the Arabian wedding inspiration:

This styled shoot was a simple styled shoot that we did together as we really wanted to make use of the wind and the earth at this gorgeous rocky beach location in Abu Dhabi. We wanted the shoot to have an organic and earthy feel to it and we loved the simplicity and lightness of the silky HOM dress combined with the rustic flowers that came partly from Issa’s flower shop and partly from his back garden. Since we are in the Arab world, we of course wanted a touch of Arabia which we got from the handmade Morroccan pouffs and the cotton pom pom blankets, courtesy of The People of Sand online concept store.

Casual Backyard Wedding in Massachusetts

May 26, 2015 | Junebug Weddings

Casual-Backyard-Wedding-Massachutts-Meg-Haley (31 of 31)

With the help of a few talented local professionals, the casual backyard wedding Emily and Caleb had dreamed of came to fruition. Held at Caleb’s family’s home, the pair were married in a community-oriented ceremony with their loved ones circled around them. This led to some absolutely touching images by photographer Meg Haley, who captured the love and emotion on Emily and Caleb’s most special day.

The Couple:

Emily and Caleb

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Massachusetts

The Inspiration:

We wanted an outdoor, rustic, and very community-oriented wedding on Caleb‘s family’s land in western Massachusetts. I was inspired by a photograph I’d seen on another blog of a circular ceremony: all of the guests surrounding the couple in a wide ring. I thought that was the perfect way to symbolize the importance of the family and friends surrounding us and supporting us — not only at our wedding, but in life.

The Moments:

There are so many moments. The dance party is something I’ll never forget – we had our east coast and west coast family and friends do a dance-off that got everyone onto the floor. The ceremony itself was spectacular – my dad sang a 7 verse, humorous song and had everyone doubled over in laughter throughout the entire ceremony. I’ve never laughed so much at a wedding. The maid of honor and best man speeches were incredibly meaningful and sweet – we have some wonderful photos of them that Meg our photographer took. I’m getting very nostalgic remembering it all!

The Couple Recommends:

Meg Haley (photographer) and Daisy Stone Studio (flowers and decor) completely understood the language we were speaking. They knew exactly the type of wedding we were looking for, and both accommodated our needs perfectly. It was a joy to work with these companies.

The Wedding Team:

Photography – Meg Haley
Venue – Private Residence
Floral Design – Daisy Stone Studio
Catering – Heirloom Catering
Wedding Dress – J.Crew
Rentals – Paul Rekeder Tents & Events
