What’s Trending – Dark Lips for Fall

October 10, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

One of the best parts about planning a fall wedding is the color scheme: emerald green, burnt orange, fiery red, and burgundy. Fortunately, these colors don’t have to stop at your centerpieces and floral design. Using a fall color palette for your wedding day makeup is a unique way to incorporate autumnal shades into your personal look. Plus, how stunning is the contrast between the dramatic lip and a white dress?

Today we’re bringing you inspiration on how to rock dark lips for fall. Whether your bridal style is vintage, bohemian, eclectic, or classic, a dark lip color can take your wedding day look to the next level.

Pretty Kitchen Chicago Wedding

October 10, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

ChristopherF-Julia-Mike-4

Christopher F Photography shared with us a beautiful couple and a truly unique venue in this Kitchen Chicago wedding. Though Julia and Mike tied the knot in a traditional church, they went industrial for their reception by holding the event at Kitchen Chicago, a shared kitchen space in the city. Julia enlisted the talents of Chicago Vintage Weddings and Merci Beaucoup Floral to bring in soft, romantic elements to the reception space. Julia’s vision paid off, because their wedding is simply stunning.

The Couple: Julia and Mike

The Wedding: Kitchen Chicago, Chicago, IL

The Moments:The ceremony ended up being our favorite part of the day because we both felt as if we were the only two people there and all the guests and wedding planning stress leading up to the moment just seemed to disappear while we pledge our vows.

The Inspiration:I knew our wedding would be an urban affair when we found our industrial loft space in downtown Chicago, but I wanted to soften it up a bit. After I fell in love with a vintage-inspired lace dress, I decided to incorporate a lot of vintage style with a warm romantic color palette of mint, peach, and rose gold. My vision was brought to life by the antique vintage rentals from Chicago Vintage Weddings and the stunning floral arrangements from Merci Beaucoup Floral. Both were able to bring my Pinterest boards to life!

The Couple Recommends:Our photographer, Christopher Foltz, went above and beyond his role as a photographer and was an integral part in making our wedding day a success. His presence felt like a friend helping us out on our wedding day rather than a professional. Chris is an extremely talented photographer with an eye for light and capturing raw emotions. We also appreciated his calm demeanor, his sense of humor, and even his surprising expertise in bustling my dress with a pair of pliers!

Junebug Love Story – Kim & Travis’ Christmas Proposal

October 9, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Earlier today, we featured a gorgeous wedding in British Columbia. Not only was the landscape absolutely striking, but bride and groom Kim and Travis struck us too. Their day was intimate and the details throughout the wedding were focused on their relationship. The couple created much of the decor for their reception together, and Nordica Photography brilliantly captured the bond Kim and Travis share. Because we just couldn’t get enough of the couple, we asked to hear about their love story. Spoiler alert: there’s a Christmas proposal! Here’s how Kim tells it.

How They Met:

Kim: Love at first sight at the only dance club in town. (Shotgun Willy’s, Cranbrook BC)

The Moment They Knew:

Kim: For me it was love at first sight. When I saw Travis at the bar, I turned to my friend and said ‘that’s exactly the kind of man I want to marry.’ For Travis, it took a whole week – he took his time. We were inseparable from the first night we met.

The Proposal:

Kim: We had our own mini Christmas, just the two of us, before we left to spend Christmas with my family. Travis had wrapped the ring and hid it in the very bottom of my stocking. As I unwrapped it, he went down on one knee and proposed. Woohoo!

I Always Think of My Partner When:

Kim: Honestly, he’s always on my mind. Couldn’t think of a better person to think about or spend the day with.

That look they are sharing has got us melting faster than a s’more over a campfire. When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. In case you missed it, here is Kim and Travis’ quirky British Columbia mountain wedding.
