Wisconsin Farm Wedding

September 26, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Allison-and-Michael-Woodnote-Photography-Junebug-Weddings-42

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 Couple: Allison & Michael

The Wedding: Century Barn, Mt Horeb, Wisconsin

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!”

Bridal Fashion – How to Rock a Short Wedding Dress

September 25, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

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.

2. Sleeveless and Form Fitting

Show off those toned arms and beautiful figure with a dress that hugs your curves in all the right places.

3. Bohemian with Sleeves

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.

4. Preppy and Chic

Love pearls and bows? Choose a dress that pays homage to the 1950s with a wide bottom, cutesy details, and a fitted top.

5. Silky Smooth

For the adventurous type, a silk dress can add a sultry vibe to your short dress.

If you are dead set on wearing a long gown for your ceremony, perhaps changing to a short wedding dress for your reception is the way to go.

I am so excited to share Christina & Donna’s energy-filled wedding with you today. Celebrated with a hint of Texas flare, their pink and gold Austin inspired wedding was complete with smiles, tears, party, and of course, two beautiful gowns. Every moment, from the intimate first look to the dance floor festivities was creatively captured by Matthew Moore Photography. Please take a moment from your day to celebrate the beauty of love and the art of wedding photography. Enjoy!

The Couple: Christina and Donna

The Wedding: Barr Mansion

The Inspiration: We were inspired by rustic elegance. We used vintage vases and teacups as our centerpieces for our flowers. Mason jars filled with candles lined the tables. Festoon lights and chandeliers hung from the trees outside. It was beautiful!
