Today’s styled inspiration shoot is a fun mix of color, creative re-purposing, and unique ideas. Put together by Junebug member Bella Signature Design and captured by Clane Gessel’s artistic eye, it is just the sort of inspiration we love at Junebug!
From Bella Signature Design: Our shoot was a combination of two lovely gents (Chris and Glen, who are a real couple and planning their upcoming wedding!) playing with us in a fun, eco-friendly wedding design. We used lots of recycled materials; our goal was to use what we had around. The ceremony backdrop was made out of Home Depot masking tape, recycled ribbon from past events and painted receipt tape. We used the same materials on the aisle chairs, where we let the tape spool out behind the chairs. The runner was hand painted by one of our staff on a natural-colored canvas that we already had. The fabric pomanders were made with fabric from left over projects, chuppah coverings, and ceremony backdrops. Our staff created a ton of pomanders out of them! For the table, we used the same materials plus a few roses and ranunculus to add that soft touch. Chris and Glen were magical to shoot – totally in love and oh-so-photogenic!
Thank you to all of the talented professionals that created this beautiful, eco-friendly wedding inspiration!

What three adjectives best describe your wedding?Fun, quirky and special
What was your wedding color palette?Brown, green and cream
What inspired your personal wedding style, and how did you incorporate your style and personalities into your big day?Our wedding style was inspired by our relationship, personalities and interests, along with the venue itself. The wedding was held at my farm, which really catered to interesting and fun decor. More importantly, it holds a lot of importance in our hearts and its where we always dreamt of getting married. We incorporated our personalities into our big day in pretty much every aspect of the wedding. Our dog, Luna, walked our rings down the aisle and the bridal party was made up of 22 people who meant the most to us. Also, I changed into Toms, and Anthony changed into converse after the ceremony! We wanted the wedding to have a laid-back, rustic feel to it.
Looking back, what are the moments, decisions or memories that you love the most about your wedding?Its hard to narrow it down and pick just a few! Our wedding felt like a fairytale to us. After a four and a half year engagement, walking down the aisle to meet the love of my life at the end felt so surreal and wonderful. Its a moment Ill always remember vividly. We waited a long time for that day and I can honestly say that it was just perfect. Also, I think one of our favorite moments had to have been our first dance. We danced to, In My Life by the Beatles and felt like we were the only ones in the tent. It was a really special moment and well remember it forever.
Choosing to go with our big bridal party was a great choice. We were hesitant at first because we had so many people we wanted up there with us, but were worried what guests might think about the huge bridal party. We finally decided that it was our big day and if we wanted to include all of our friends, we should! Looking back, we wouldnt have changed a thing. It felt great to have all our friends and family up there with us and we like that it was unique and different. Plus, we never once heard that we had too many people up there!
What piece of advice would you give to a bride planning her wedding today?Dont spend so much time stressing about planning that you forget to enjoy the planning process! It can be really stressful trying to plan everything to make sure it all turns out perfectly. But, take time to enjoy it all and have fun with it. Dont be afraid to incorporate quirky details that may seem to be non-traditional. Dont be worried about what guests will think or say. Everyone going is there to support you and will walk away thinking everything was perfect. Enjoy the wedding itself! It flies by! Taste the food, take time to sit down for cake, have a drink, and dance! Your wedding day only comes around once in your life – make it special!

What three adjectives best describe your wedding day?Intimate, fun and unforgettable
Was there a decor theme that ran through your wedding? What was the inspiration for that particular idea and how did it reflect you as a couple?I love all things Anthropologie, which inspired me to create a warm, natural and charming setting for our wedding. As a couple, we love to host people at our home and we always try to provide a warm and cozy environment for our guests. Thats how we wanted our wedding to feel at our wedding too.
What were some of the different ways you used decor elements to create the beautiful, cohesive event you were envisioning?I wanted my wedding to be both timeless and charming. My wedding dress was an elegant, yet fashion forward Carolina Herrera gown. I dressed my bridesmaids in bright, sunny dresses from Anthropologie. Also, I adored my florist, Susan from Peony and Plum, and her arrangements! I chose flowers and centerpieces that were soft and elegant, but still made a statement.
Where did you choose to hold your wedding, and how did the location influence your decor decisions?We chose Terranea Resort for its stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The location provided the perfect backdrop for a charming and rustic, yet elegant wedding, and we centered our decor decisions around that theme.
