If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, you should consider a camp wedding theme. From s’mores and boots to rustic design and teepees, a camp inspired wedding beckons a casual and carefree event, perfect for those planning an intimate celebration. As with most unique themes, designing your camp wedding is easier said than done; you don’t want your wedding decor to perfectly match the set of Moonrise Kingdom (unless you do, then that’s totally fine– I too love Wes Anderson). In order to maintain a stylish wedding that still pays homage to the warmth and personal feel of your summer camp, we’ve pulled together some of our favorite camp wedding inspired photos.
Happy Friday, Junebugs! To start the best day of the week off right, we’ve got an exceptional Midwest wedding complete with green pastures, a rustic barn, and of course, breathtaking photography. Keeping their love of the outdoors in mind, Allison & Michael decided to celebrate their wedding at a lovely farm just outside of Madison, Wisconsin. Captured by Woodnote Photography, their elegant and fun wedding was full of adorable details and thoughtful touches. From their beautiful couple portraits to Allison’s gorgeous gown, this Wisconsin farm wedding is simply stunning and is sure to make your heart skip a beat or two. Enjoy!
The Inspiration:“I would classify it as vintage-chic. I wanted to capture a timeless look and remain true to our city-style. I think having our wedding outdoors/in a barn was a great way to incorporate our love for the outdoors, but we were also able to bring in our vintage/chic style so that it didn’t appear casual or country. It turned out exactly as we dreamed it would!”
The Moments:“Our favorite moment was after dinner when our photographers grabbed us for a few moments away from it all to take some pictures. We drove pretty far away into a field and michael and I just spent some time together (alone) chatting about the day and walking around in the fields. It started to slightly sprinkle and it was just a perfect moment to wrap up the chaos of the day. It was peaceful and romantic and Woodnote was able to capture it on camera.”

The Couple Recommends:“Corrine Van Arsdale (Canvas Weddings) was a fabulous day-of wedding planner. She put up with all of our demands and made our wedding day an absolute dream for us. She made my “vision” into an actual reality (but better).
Woodnote Photography – Not only are they talented photographers, they help you stop and take it all in. Without them, I don’t think we would have stopped to take time together as husband and wife, or just to take it all in. Overall, all of our vendors were very well received and we would recommend!”
Forget the long, flowing gown and show off your legs with a short number on your wedding day. Long dresses are heavy, confining, and can be difficult to dance in if you’re a mover and a shaker (like me). Here are some of our favorite styles to help you decide which short dress to rock on your wedding day. Remember, whatever dress you choose should make you feel both beautiful AND comfortable.
1. Sweet Lace Overlay
Simple and feminine, a lace overlay adds grace and refinement to any short dress.
Looking for a spunkier feel? Long sleeves always add a bit of mischief to any short dress. You can add more personality with embellishments, fringe, etc.
