A Bright Citrus Color Palette Shines In This Classical Elopement Inspiration Shoot

April 6, 2021 | Junebug Weddings

Three words: citrus color palette! This fairytale-esque elopement inspiration shoot at this historial French manor transformed it into a bright, whimsical space, with the help from wedding planner Best Events Co. From colorful floral arrangements paired with citrus fruits to an elegant reception for two, we feel like jetting to France immediately. And let’s talk about the couple’s wardrobe, shall we? The bride looked stunning in her strapless wedding gown paired with her shoulder cape veil and her tulle ruffled gloves. And we love the groom in his plum-colored suit—we’re suckers for a colorful suit.

We won’t spoil the surprises sprinkled through the whole elopement shoot. Scroll down to see the photos captured by Junebug member Through the Glass Paris

We wanted the focus to be on creating a classic luxurious feel with a modern colorful twist. The focus was on the details.

An In-Depth Look At The Instagram Wedding Awards

April 5, 2021 | riley

Spring has arrived and many couples are ready to kick their wedding planning journey into high gear. Besides working with a wedding planning checklist, many couples turn to Instagram accounts for inspiration on their wedding vibes, the vendors they’ll hire, and even places they never dreamed of hosting their weddings. We’re wedding experts—inspiration is kind of our thing. With 2021 couples in mind, we’re announcing The Wedding Instagram Awards. 

How It Works

We have a list of ten categories that wedding vendors can be nominated for. Anyone can nominate their wedding vendors or a vendor they admire. Wedding professionals can also nominate their own professional accounts or other vendors they admire. Unlike some contests, nominations to The Wedding Instagram Awards are free. 

Once nominations close, The Junebug Weddings team will narrow down thousands of nominations to the top five Instagram accounts in each category. Then, the public—that’s you—will vote for their favorites in each category. Once voting closes, we’ll announce the winners! 

The Wedding Instagram Awards Categories

There are ten different categories that we consider most helpful for couples planning their weddings. We’ll tell you a little more about each category below so you can start nominating your favorite accounts—and following new ones soon.

Gorgeous Skamania Lodge Elopement

April 5, 2021 | kailey

A lakefront ceremony, towering mountain top views, and miles from the nearest city—adventure lovers Bri and Derek traded a traditional over-the-top wedding for a secluded, gorgeous Skamania Lodge elopement deep in Stevensville, Washington mountains. The couple prioritized their loved ones’ involvement in their elopement—live-streaming their ceremony and chatting with family and friends after tying the knot. Nothing was stopping this motivated couple, not even a poor wifi connection. 

Photographer Lukas Korynta captured every detail that made this stunning outdoorsy elopement an adventurous couple’s dream wedding. If you’re looking to take your love to new heights, keep scrolling for inspo-worthy details that are sure to have you swooning. 

The Couple:

Briana and Derek

The Wedding:

Thunder Island at Cascade Locks, Oregon

Involving Loved Ones In This Skamania Lodge Elopement

We prioritized the involvement of our loved ones in our elopement. After the ceremony, we set aside time to chat with family on zoom. We also chose to hold our own private reception with just ourselves in a nearby modern and semi-luxurious “treehouse” at Skamania Lodge. We spent the night eating, drinking, and dancing late into the night. Secluded from the world, we kept the music loud, drinks flowing, and the party going. 

Hiring Top-Notch Wedding Vendors 

We can’t stress the importance of hiring trusted wedding professionals, like our photographer. We loved working with our Lukas. After quite a bit of research, we chose to work with him because of his aesthetic and unique ability to bring out the moody colors of the Pacific Northwest. His ability to show a personal connection with couples in his work was also a selling point for us. He made our photo session easy, seamless, and he engaged with us—which made it seem like he was an old friend. 

The Wedding Team:

Photography – Lukas Korynta
Ceremony Venue – Thunder Island at Cascade Locks, Oregon
Reception Venue – Skamania Lodge 

 

Congratulations Bri and Derek, and big thanks to photographer Lukas Korynta for capturing these love-filled images—bringing out the adventure in us all. If you’re feeling inspired to ditch the traditional wedding ceremony for an elopement-styled wedding, check out this ultimate elopement planning checklist to get started.
