Stylish Outdoor Lake Tahoe Wedding

August 19, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

With a vibrant color scheme and multiple DIY elements, Matt and Kyle’s stylish outdoor Lake Tahoe wedding was beautifully photographed by Bogdan Condor. The couple decided to let their love for the outdoors and each other shine on their wedding day, and the tall trees and water surrounding the venue make for some stunning portraits!

The Couple: Matt and Kyle

The Wedding: Aspen Grove, Lake Tahoe, CA

The Inspiration: When we think about how much fun we have together, it typically includes hiking, action, and enjoying the outdoors. Keeping this in mind, we chose Lake Tahoe for our location and an outdoor venue to have a BBQ wedding with a dance party. Many aspects of our wedding were DIY projects, and we looked for colors that kept with our personality and the fall season.

The Wedding Team:

Photographer: Bogdan Condor
Event Planner: Melissa Weir of Blue Sky Events
Ceremony & Reception Venue: Aspen Grove
Catering: Aspen Grove
Cake: Flour Girl Wedding Cakes
Groom’s Apparel & Accessories: Kenneth Cole Reaction and Bar III via Macy’s

Thank you, Matt and Kyle for sharing your amazing wedding!

Vintage Southern Garden Wedding in Nashville, TN

August 18, 2014 | Junebug Weddings

With gorgeous wildflowers and a collection of heartfelt family heirlooms, Elizabeth and James’ vintage Southern garden wedding was a stylish and sentimental celebration. Streetlight Republic beautifully captured both the charming location of Belle Meade Plantation and the couple’s eminent love for one another.

The Couple: Elizabeth and James

The Wedding: Belle Meade Plantation, Nashville, TN

The Inspiration: We wanted our wedding to be a balance of vintage elegance and Southern comfort. We found a gorgeous historical location with a garden for the ceremony and a carriage house for the reception. While the location itself was a beautiful backdrop, the garden theme was continued throughout the venue by the incredibly talented florist, who arranged bouquets of various wildflowers and centerpieces of lanterns surrounded by honeysuckle. The decor involved sentiments and heirlooms, such as lockets, a memorial table of loved ones, and picture frames of ourselves growing up and together.
