Stylish Modern Wedding in Washington, D.C.

September 5, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

urban couple's portrait

Gold, glamour, and bright flowers all came together beautifully for Nicole and Fernando’s stylish modern wedding, captured by Sarah Culver Photography. The Mead Center for American Theater venue was amazing to begin with, but with the addition of their sparkling black and gold color scheme and gorgeous floral design, the couple’s special day took chic to whole new level.

The Couple: Nicole and Fernando

The Wedding: Mead Center for American Theater

The Inspiration: What we were really looking for was a contemporary venue and we were so happy when we discovered the Mead Center for American Theater. The gorgeous windows with natural wood beams and the Fichlander Stage as backdrop helped inspire our contemporary yet glam wedding. Our main colors were black and gold but we included pops of color with our vibrant flowers and some sparkles to brighten everything up.

Junebug Fall 2014 Bridal Fashion Forecast

September 4, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

Fall Bridal Fashion

As summer comes to a close, the excitement for the fabulous fall bridal fashion to come is only just beginning! For those brides planning an autumn wedding, we’ve picked out this upcoming season’s biggest trends from the beautiful collections that have graced the wedding runways. From short dresses to illusion necklines, we can’t wait to share the fresh bridal fashion you’re going to fall for.

Less is More

Short dresses were a big hit in this season’s collections, and we love the youthful energy they bring. Pair any of these dresses with a lace or silk cape for colder fall months.
