August 5, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Exquisitely photographed by Bradford Martens, Dorothy and Mac’s garden wedding is a breathtaking combination of earthly beauty, originality, and romance. Inspired by the themes of naturalism and sensuality, the bride and groom incorporated their passions into their ceremony and reception flawlessly.

The Couple: Dorothy and Mac

The Wedding: 4.12.2014Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum, Austin, Texas

The Inspiration: We were inspired by the themes of naturalism and sensuality, with a hint of avant-garde. Our approach to our marriage is the same: the world is changing, and we want to define what marriage is for us and allow it to evolve for a new generation. Along the same vein, I wanted to find a venue that felt sacred. We chose the Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum in Austin – a stunning place. Sculptures of lovers, angels and saints set among beautiful gardens, old oak trees and a stream running through it.

Bright and Colorful Destination Wedding in Riviera Maya, Mexico

August 4, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Nothing says paradise like a beautiful destination wedding bursting with color on the Mayan Riviera. Chezlie and Joey wanted to create a wedding that celebrated both their love for each other and their love for sandy shores and sunshine. With gorgeous lace and floral details and a wonderfully bright color palette, Chezlie and Joey’s vibrant wedding was photographed beautifully by Zasil Studio.

The Couple: Chezlie and Joey

The Wedding: 3.1.2014 – Zoetry Parasio de la Bonita, Riviera Maya, Mexico

The Inspiration: When we first began talking about the kind of wedding we wanted, we knew that it was important to us to be fun, classic, “easy like Sunday morning”, intimate, and beautiful. We wanted to create an event where we could celebrate our love for each other and the family we have created with a party filled with love, joy and laughter. I am obsessed with the ocean, and when I moved from Los Angeles back to Utah for gaduate school it was hard to leave the beach. I always miss that calming effect that sun, sand, a soft breeze and a drink with an umbrella in it can create. Getting married on the beach was my number one priority, plus with a destination wedding I knew that we could get all that time to spend with our loved ones and really have a wedding weekend celebration.

The best metaphor I came up with was the look was inspired by an old cathedral, where heavy, dark, rustic woods are accompanied with intricate metals, lots of color, lace and candlelight. The color palette included royal blue, terra cotta red, dark orange, gold, dark wood, and ivory. I wanted a lot of candlelight so the tables were filled with candles, candles in the pool and a lot of ambient lighting.
