This European Fall Wedding Blends Boho and Feminine Styles

October 9, 2020 | riley

What do you get when you have a photographer as a bride? Utter perfection. Liga and Eric’s European fall wedding was the perfect showcase of whimsical, cozy, and autumnal–perfect for these coming fall months. With the help of planner Svetlana Masala, the nuptials were complete with dusty pink and orange florals, pumpkin accents, and drapery galore. 

Eric’s rose-colored tux paired perfectly with Liga’s romantic polka-dotted Inta Grase a-line gown. And we can’t help but swoon over the perfectly fall chunky cardigan that the bride added for their beach portraits. Miks Sels Photography did a brilliant job capturing the dreamy day, so keep scrolling to swoon with us.

The Couple:

Liga and Eric

The Wedding:

Bulduri Horticultural Secondary School, Jūrmala, Latvija

Wedding Advice From the Bride

Take your time, don’t rush wedding planning, and enjoy being engaged! I highly recommend only doing things that you are both truly passionate and excited about. For example, don’t do the first dance if you don’t enjoy dancing. And, try on as many dresses as you can!

Working With Miks Sels

As a photographer myself–before the wedding–I thought I knew how to pose, smile, etc., in front of the camera, because I ask clients to do it all the time. But, on the wedding day, I just could not move, think, or breathe normally. I was so excited, stressed, and overwhelmed. I forgot everything that I know about posing. Thankfully, Miks Sels handled the situation perfectly and calmed me down. The pictures turned out great!

Sweet Wedding Favors

We gifted our guests’ little jars of honey since our overall theme was honey and autumn. We had honeycake–one of the national cakes of Latvia–and tea with honey.

Culturally and Colorfully Vibrant Indian-Mexican Fusion Wedding at Hacienda Uayamon

October 8, 2020 | riley

Incredible wedding day fashion–we’re talking three different outfit changes—a jaw-dropping colorful Hindu ceremony, and a Day of the Dead themed reception. We’re a little bit obsessed with Juan Pablo and Manhar’s Indian-Mexican fusion wedding at Hacienda Uayamon. The couple hired planner Adda Solis–who studied Indian weddings just for the pair–to help their multicultural dreams come true.

The grooms looked dashing in their Sabyasachi and Tarun Tahiliani outfits, which matched the bright red, pink, and blue Hindu ceremony. Not to mention the colored smoke bomb portraits that Junebug member Carlos Elizondo captured oh-so-perfectly. 

This is truly one of the most imaginative weddings we have ever seen. Keep scrolling to see intricate Papel Picado banners, traditional Indian dancers, and Mexican-inspired face paint.

The Couple:

Juan Pablo and Manhar

The Wedding:

Hacienda Uayamon, Uayamon, Campeche, Mexico

A Multicultural Weekend at Hacienda Uayamon

We wanted our wedding to be a multicultural experience (we are a Mexican-Hindu couple), not just one day. A weekend full of celebrations in which our cultural roots were present in a very significant way, full of colors and emotions.

Why Finding The Right Wedding Planner Is Important

The most important thing for us was finding the right wedding planner. We both live in Asia, and planning a wedding in Mexico without the right help would have been impossible. When we met Adda, we knew we were in good hands. She stood there with us even in my worst bridezilla moments. She was passionate, creative, and a fast learner. It was her first Indian wedding and she got certified on Indian weddings so that she could bring more ideas to the table. Her team is outstanding and our wedding was such a success because of her. Our one piece of advice is to find the right wedding planner–the one that gives you peace and comfort.

A Day of The Dead Inspired Reception

We decided to incorporate elements from one of the most well-known traditions of Mexican culture–the Day of the Dead. The reception was full of those iconic elements–centerpieces with marigold flowers, Mexican sweets, confetti, and skulls adorned the magical night. We even hired a makeup artist to paint our guests’ faces like “Catrinas,” kind of like the “Coco” movie.

Photography – Carlos Elizondo
Event Planning – Adda Solis
Venue – Hacienda Uayamon
DJ – Rafa Lara
Videography – Hector Buenfil
Outfit #1 – Tarun Tahiliani
Outfit #2 – Sabyasachi

Laid-Back Atlanta Alpaca Treehouse Wedding

October 7, 2020 | riley

Between the stellar bridal fashion—complete with star-covered boots—a ceremony in the thick of the forest, and live alpacas roaming the property, Ren and Ronnie’s laid-back Atlanta Alpaca Treehouse wedding was certainly one to remember. The cozy outdoor venue was the perfect spot for a non-traditional celebration full of love and laughs.

With the help of expert planner Harts and Petals, the couple created a day that spoke to their unique personalities. They kept decor and florals minimal, which allowed the magical treehouse to shine. While we could ramble on about how much we love these creative nuptials, we’ll let the photos taken by Junebug member Sophie Berard do all of the talking.

The Couple:

Ren and Ronnie

The Wedding:

Alpaca Treehouse, Atlanta, Georgia

Why an Atlanta Alpaca Treehouse Wedding

We wanted something memorable but cozy. The Atlanta Alpaca Treehouse was the first and only venue we toured. It was just unlike anything else on our list, and it felt really magical being there–as if we had been transported. It’s in the middle of the city but it feels secluded and private.

Wedding Day Advice From The Bride

The most important takeaway for us was that we were happy we gave ourselves permission to be selfish. Planning can be hard when you start to think about what others might want or be expecting. But if there’s one day in your life that revolves completely around you, it should be your wedding day.

An Unforgettable Wedding Favor From The Alpacas

The most memorable parts were probably the small speeches given by our friends and family before dinner, and maybe when one of the alpacas spit on Ren during photos. It was also supposed to rain all day–which we were dreading–but it didn’t actually start until we were safely in our treehouse for the night. We watched the storm from the skylight above our bed.
