Alex and Daniel envisioned a classy, industrial wedding with soft simple colors, and we absolutely love how the King Plow Arts Center was the perfect place for them. The gorgeous brick walls throughout the venue created an urban twist to this romantic candle-lit wedding. Harper Noel Photography made sure not to let any breathtaking moment pass by without capturing its intimate detail.
We wanted to have an industrial but classy wedding with soft muted colors and gold accents.
The Moments:
Walking down the aisle, father tearing up by my side, and beaming husband standing ahead looking as happy as I felt.
The Couple Recommends:
Finding a good photographer was the most important thing to us when planning our wedding and Harper went above and beyond our expectations! We would definitely recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for a professional photographer. My makeup artist and hair stylist were also phenomenal and not only did an amazing job, but were such a pleasure to have around on my wedding day. All in all, we would say everyone we worked with was great and we would work with them again in a heartbeat.
We’re dreaming of warm weather and sandy beaches this week, which makes Carissa and Robert’s Cancun wedding a sight for sore eyes. The celebration took place at Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, where the couple and their closest friends and family gathered for a sentimental waterfront ceremony. No time was wasted before the party got started, beginning with the bride and groom’s first dance and ending with the groom and his men running into the ocean in their skivvies. Luckily Jason Q Tran was there to capture every moment and range of emotion.
The inspiration for my overall decor theme was effortless and fun. Generally, when people say they want “effortless,” it involves millions of minute details that somehow harmonize to feel effortless. When I say effortless, I literally mean effortless. I’ve found that when one doesn’t have expectations, it is impossible to be disappointed. Being in graduate school, we both didn’t have any time to truly plan a event, which is why having this destination wedding was such a pleasant experience. The resort’s planner gave us a few table options, organized everything, and all we had to do was show up! Our only wish was that we had an intimate party, where our guests could really let loose and enjoy this new chapter with us.
The Moments:
Our favorite moment from the wedding had to be the “grand exit” that happened when a large group of guests and the groom decided to run into the ocean. It really captured the spirit of the entire day – perfectly imperfect.
The Couple Recommends:
Working with Jason has been a dream. He has such creative vision and makes you feel completely at ease, which only makes his end product that much better.
We love a venue that lends itself to personalized décor by the bride and groom on their big day. Carly and Dan’s golf course wedding was looking a little sparse before Carly took on the project of crafting over 100 coral pompoms to hang around their ceremony and above their reception. The soft peach decorations perfectly matched the bridesmaids’ dresses, and looked lovely with the bride’s style for her wedding day. Blair Gable Photography masterfully captured the carefully arranged details, as well as the sweetest moments shared between the newlyweds as they said I Do.
We decided to get married in my hometown, Sault Ste. Marie, even though we live in Toronto. A big reason was that “the Sault,” as locals know it, has a much slower pace and has a lot of natural beauty. We wanted to take advantage of that in a big way, so we chose to get married outside on a golf course on the edge of town. That beautiful outdoor setting really drove much of the inspiration for the rest of the day. We wanted the setting to speak for itself, so we tried to keep things relatively simple — white tablecloths, no sky-high centerpieces and a lot of greenery.
It seemed like the tent was missing something until I came up with the idea to dress it up with hundreds of peach coloured pom poms, which were draped all around the room. I had to make nearly 500 peach pom poms to ensure we had enough! There were a few moments where I wanted to kick myself for embarking on such a massive project — the suitcase I took when I traveled from Toronto to the Sault was filled ENTIRELY with pompoms — but it was worth it!
The Moments:
Having our wedding in Sault Ste. Marie meant that a lot of our friends and family traveled to be with us for the whole weekend. So we were extremely lucky because our wedding day really turned into an entire four-day weekend of memories and fun. We rented a hospitality suite in the host hotel and stocked it with food and drinks. It became the hub of activity over the weekend and meant that a lot of the guests who started out as strangers were friends by the time the wedding day rolled around. That made the day so much more special and memorable for our guests too.
During our wedding reception dinner, when the room was buzzing with chatter and everyone was enjoying food and wine, Dan and I couldn’t help but look around and be struck by how many of our loved ones were there, and how special it was to have all of those people in one place to celebrate and make such great memories. My mom passed away a few years ago and her absence loomed large at the wedding. So we do not take for granted how special it was to have the love and support from everyone under the tent that night.
The Couple Recommends:
It is really hard to single anyone out, since pretty much everyone we worked with exceeded our expectations. But Annelise and Sarah, the venue coordinator and the decor/day-of coordinator did so much to make sure every detail was taken care of so that we had nothing to worry about and could truly enjoy ourselves on our wedding day.
And Blair, our photographer, captured the wedding day better than anyone else could have. I must have looked up dozens of wedding photographers, but when I saw his work, I was really impressed. Not only did he deliver really amazing photos, but he also worked around a fairly rigid and tight post-ceremony schedule and had all of our edited photos back to us the week we returned from our honeymoon.
A special thanks to Blair Gable Photography for allowing Junebug to share Carly and Dan’s sweet golf course wedding! For more coral wedding inspiration, be sure to check out Charlotte and Anders’ blue and peach wedding in Stockholm.
