Wedding fashion guru Vera Wang can pretty much do no wrong in my book! Her wedding gowns and bridesmaids’ dresses are simply gorgeous, and her ready to wear collections are no different. Right now Bluefly.com has loads of her evening and cocktail dresses on sale for way below retail. How fantastic! Check them out for your bridesmaids, for any of your wedding related events, or, well, just because they’re so, so pretty!
Following in the footsteps of our last post about new Seattle area wedding venues, today brings us fabulous wedding location finds in Tenessee, Georgia and North Carolina from guest blogger Lara Casey. Lara is the Publisher of Southern Wedding Style Magazine, a long time event planner with Bliss Event Group and a recent bride herself, which makes her a true expert in all things wedding! We are thrilled to have her valuable insight into wedding possibilities in her area of the country and we just love reading what she has to say
A few of our recent favorites:
Blackberry Farm, in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. One of our favorite photographers, A Bryan Photography, recently shot a fabulous wedding we are about to feature there. They do very few weddings at Blackberry Farm each year (typically 1 or 2…sometimes 3) so although it has been around for awhile as a resort and hotel, they just finished their new reception hall and this wedding was the first to be hosted there.
Sea Island, Georgia, another location we love. They just finished an enormous renovation of the main hotel, The Cloister, which has created an incredible venue and setting. A Bryan Photography shot this wedding there in the fall.
My favorite, Claxton Farm in Weaverville, North Carolina. Converted into an event space in the last decade, this is one of my favorite wedding locations! The 100-year-old tobacco barn is so versatile. Ive seen several weddings here lately that show the versatility of the space. This wedding, shot by Woodward and Rick Photographers, used every element of the farm in a richly colorful modern way. Gorgeous! See our original Southern Wedding Style blog post here.
Choosing your wedding venue is a big decision, and depending on your preferences and personal style, the possibilities are pretty much endless! Every city has its gems for wedding ceremonies and receptions, and we’re going to explore a few of the country’s newest additions on What Junebug Loves, starting right here in Seattle.
Treehouse Point is a delightfully rustic and eco-friendly Northwest wedding venue that lies on the banks of the Raging River just 35 minutes from downtown Seattle. Lighted paths meander past whimsical tree-houses built among old growth fir trees, and for your wedding there’s a beautiful riverside ceremony site, a forest glen stage and dance floor, and a lovely lodge that can accommodate up to 50 guests. Outdoor tenting options for receptions of up to 125 are available as well. The staff here is warm and welcoming, and the food, flowers, and scenery offer a thoroughly organic, green wedding experience. What an unforgettable wedding celebration you could plan here!

Herban Feast Caterings amazing new SODO Park wedding and reception venue, just south of downtown Seattle, is in a historic building that boasts over 12,000 square feet of wide-open, light filled loft space and authentic urban-chic style. The soaring ceiling is filled with rustic exposed beams, and the fixtures have been repurposed from other architectural landmarks creating fabulous décor while allowing the buildings history and personality to shine through. We love the combination of the rough-hewn walls and old wood floors with the elegant, modern furnishings! Herban Feast Catering focuses on using the best local organic foods as well as sustainable and community resources, and their stunning event location carries on this tradition with the latest in eco-friendly practices for the ultimate modern wedding.
