We just love finding all sorts of wedding decor goodies from our Real Weddings Library, where we have hundreds of gorgeous weddings for you to browse. Today, we have some lovely bride and groom chair decor to share! Enjoy!
With a southwestern chic bohemian style, Amanda and Kyle tied the knot at the Spirit Ranch in Lubbock, Texas surrounded by loved ones. Photographed by Geoff Duncan, this wedding is full of unique touches and such personality! There’s so much to love, from the bride’s beaded Anthropologie belt and whimsical floral crown, to the colorful custom invitations and eclectic southwestern inspired decor. Not to mention the groom’s sweet serenade to his bride as her father walked her down the aisle!
The Couple: Amanda and Kyle
The Wedding: 10.26.2014 – Spirit Ranch, Lubbock, Texas
The Goals: Our main priority was to have a wedding that we wanted allowing our personalities to shine through, and for it to be enjoyable for our families and friends. We made sure that when people were at the wedding there was no question that it was our wedding. We wanted each detail to be reflective of us.
The Design: Our wedding style concept was a Southwest, New Mexico wedding with lots of bohemian touches.
The Look: I purchased by dress at a sample sale at Unbridaled in Austin. I can get overwhelmed rather easily so going to a sample sale to try and find your wedding dress is pretty scary! The girls at the store were amazing and my oldest sister actually saw another bride wearing the dress that she knew would be mine. Once she heard the other girl say, “It’s pretty but not for me,” my sister stalked the dress until I could try it on! Once I had it on I felt beautiful and lost my breath. My dad was with all of us, and when he cried and told me I looked pretty, I knew it was the one! My shoes were all about something comfortable and pretty so that was all I was going for there! They were rose gold and went with my amazing belt I found at Anthropologie. I actually purchased two of the belts and had my amazing seamstress sew them together so that it would appear to be seamless!
The Moments: One of my favorite moments of the day was when Kyle and his groomsmen (who are all musicians) played “I Will Wait” by Mumford & Sons while everyone walked down the aisle. Having Kyle stand at the end of the aisle singing as I walked down with my dad was a moment that I will cherish and love forever. It was beautifully perfect!
The Advice: I think the best advice that I can give is don’t get stressed out with all the little details and forget to enjoy where you and your fiancé are. You will never get this period of time back so enjoy your engagement and don’t let the planning take over. For the wedding day just remember to be present and enjoy every bit of it! Also, remember that this day is just the beginning of the adventure not the whole story.
Congratulations! You’re engaged and you’re discovering the many ways to creatively express your love and celebrate your marriage. Finding your own way can be one of the most rewarding things about wedding planning, and one of the most challenging. You want to hang on to the euphoria you felt when you first got engaged without having it turn into worries about planning an event. So, before you begin to make the many decisions that will make your big day unique, stop to spend some quality time with your partner focusing on these simple steps to stress-free wedding planning.
Step One: Begin by sharing your dreams and expectations. Talk about what having a wedding means to you, and think about the people and traditions that you want to honor, and the things you’re looking most forward to. Imagine the place you’ll be married, the time of year, and the overall atmosphere. Chances are you both hold some preconceived ideas and desires about your wedding day, and the best time to examine them is when your both ecstatic about getting married.
Step Two: Create a list of the most important things you’ve shared. Then, take turns prioritizing the list so its a reflection of what you both want from your wedding. Understanding your partners dreams will help you make decisions you’ll feel good about when you get married and throughout the years to come.
Step Three: Have fun brainstorming creative ways to celebrate your preferences, your backgrounds, and your differences, both now and in the future. Use your love and imagination to find ways that you can both get what you’re looking for, and remember that the partnering skills you’re learning today will be a gift you’ll both be grateful for in the years to come.
Step Four: Once you have your priorities set, decide on your wedding date and which people you want to tell about your engagement, and when. Consider making your announcement extra special by hosting an engagement party, sharing it at a family event, or putting it in the paper or on your own website. Chances are your parents (and a few of your very closest friends) would rather hear the news directly from you and not through the grapevine, so if it feels right, tell them first.
Step Five: Keep your list of priorities posted and close at hand throughout your wedding planning process. Use it as a foundation to return to if you’re feeling overwhelmed, it will help you remember whats most important to you when too many details vie for your attention, and when well meaning friends and family members let you know what they think you should do.
