April 21, 2021 | kailey

A weekend full of color, culture, and pure joy—this elegant and meaningful outdoor wedding has us wishing we were invited. During these uncertain times, Arushi and Jaspreet were hit with tough wedding planning obstacles. With the help of their planner The Storybook Event, they were able to bring to life their dream wedding, without sacrificing the attendance or involvement of their loved ones. 

The stunning floral arrangements by Prashe Decor, were the main decor element—covering and draping the ceremony space in a jaw-dropping fashion. This couple prioritized the involvement of culture and their loved ones throughout every thoughtful detail. Photographer Bella Lumi Photography did a great job capturing every moment—showing the prominent love and joy that radiated from this celebration of union.

COVID Can’t Cancel This Outdoor Weekend Wedding

After a year of uncertainty and so many sacrifices due to COVID restrictions, the most memorable part of the day was simply getting married! We had waited so long for the day to finally be here, and despite all the challenges that came our way, we relished in the beauty of our wedding day and the happiness of knowing we could finally celebrate our marriage surrounded by our nearest and dearest.

The Benefits Of Hiring Trusted Wedding Vendors 

Personally, I knew that on my wedding day, I did not want to be that bride that is stressed about the minor details and wanted to be able to enjoy the whole experience. One of the best decisions we made was building a vendor team that we trusted to make sure everything came together in the best way possible. From our wedding planner to the decor team, to our wonderful photographers and videographers, I honestly felt like we had full confidence in their work. There will always be mishaps and challenges that arise on the wedding day itself, but if you know that your vendors always produce amazing work, it is easier to sit back and let everything smooth out organically.

2020 was hard. It was especially difficult for couples planning to say “I do’s” in front of their loved ones to pivot and find new ways to celebrate their nuptials. For many, this means opening the door to elopements—an idea that wouldn’t have crossed their minds before! With vaccines on the rise and in-person events resuming, we still love the elopement trend of 2021. We think it’s here to stay.

With the confirmations that love can’t be canceled, we’re so excited about BHLDN elopement gowns that prove elopement gowns don’t have to be simple or boring. In fact, because elopement budgets differ from traditional weddings, couples can go all out on the things that really matter to them. One of our favorite splurges is, of course, gorgeous elopement gowns. 

BHLDN Elopement Dresses Ship Fast

Our friends at BHLDN have an incredible array of wedding gowns available for couples looking to elope. Whether you’re planning ahead or eloping on an accelerated timeline, their gowns are ready to order and perfect for a memorable wedding day. For any orders that are in stock, gowns will arrive in five to seven business days.

Virtual Appointments From Anywhere

If you’re not sure which wedding dress you’re falling for, book a virtual appointment with a stylist who can help you narrow down your choices.

Unique Private Vow Ceremony At Cornerstone Sonoma

April 20, 2021 | Junebug Weddings

There are many ways to be present on your wedding day, but taking a moment away from everyone can truly be special. Hayley and Cody did just that by adding a private vow ceremony where they read their handwritten vows back-to-back. While their wedding we’re publishing wasn’t their original plan (thanks COVID), they truly made the most of it. They even had their first dance at their altar—how special!

To top it all off, the couple said their “I do’s” at the beautiful Cornerstone Sonoma. With a perfectly autumn color palette and lush floral arrangements by Aimee Lomeli, this wedding gave us minimalist bohemian vibes we never knew we needed. On top of that, we are gushing over Hayley’s two different bridal capes that she paired over her sleek white dress. 

Get the tissues ready because Lukas Korynta captured some truly tear-jerking moments that we can’t wait to share.

Cornerstone Sonoma, Sonoma, CA

Tear-Jerking Private Vow Ceremony

We personalized our wedding by having a private vow ceremony. Due to all we went through within the year, we felt that sharing our hearts, our promises, and our words were stronger and more intimate with just us together. We read our vows back-to-back and we wanted our first look to be as we walked down the aisle.

Remember What’s Most Important

Our advice to nearlyweds is to find the important moments— important things that you and your partner want to share on your big day. Before you start the planning, know what those are. It’s so easy to get lost in outside voices. At the end of the day, it’s a day that you and your partner will hold close to your heart. Make those important moments happen. The two most important voices are you and your partner. Keep it that way.

A First Dance At The Altar

We had to get creative and think outside the traditional wedding day. With all of the hurdles 2020 threw at us, it ended up being a perfect day. It may have been different from our first plan, but it turned into something beautiful. Our favorite moment of the day had to be the first dance. We decided to do something different and share our first dance immediately after our first kiss. It ended up being romantic, emotional, and a moment we will never forget.

Shifting Wedding Plans

Prior to the COVID guidelines and wildfires, we wanted to have a day that was fun for our guests with many games, an amazing dinner service with interactive food stages, and watching pizza being made. Then as the year progressed, we really had to rethink what was important. In the end, we knew what was most important for us: to get married, say I do, and have something beautiful come out of 2020.
