Bright and Whimsical Desert Wedding in California 

December 19, 2020 | riley

It may be dark and cold out, but don’t fret the weather. We’ve got some seriously stunning colorful wedding inspiration that will make this long winter feel a little less cold. Jorja and Jordan’s bright and whimsical desert wedding in California has us dreaming of a Palm Springs getaway, and we can’t get enough. 

With the help of Junebug member COJ Events, the couple transformed the La Quinta Country Club into a dreamy venue with over the top red and pink floral arrangements from Arrangements Floral & Party Design, a canopy of twinkle lights, and brushed gold accents.

Get ready to escape the current frosty temperatures and be transported to a sunny oasis. These photos captured by The Lovers of Love will take you to the California desert. 

The Couple:

Jorja and Jacob

The Wedding:

La Quinta Country Club, Palm Springs, California

Including The Family Dog

Our plan for our dog–Jasper–was for him to be hanging with the groomsmen while the bridesmaids got ready in a separate part of the estate. Jasper had a different plan, however, and kept escaping to the bridesmaid suite. We still have no idea how he kept getting into the suite, but it was clear he wanted to be with the girls to help his mom get ready to marry his dad. Jasper was Jacob’s dog since before we started dating, and it felt like he wanted to play his part to make things official.

Whimsical And Colorful Vibes At The Desert Wedding In California

We developed our vision for our wedding over time by researching weddings in the Palm Springs area. When we had our floral and decor demo at our venue, our vision came to life. Cathy and Angela from COJ Events, along with Luna from Arrangements Floral & Design, really listened to us, answered all our questions, and helped us make decisions we still feel awesome about. The vibe for our wedding was brightly colored desert flowers, whimsical, romantic, and fun.

Wedding Advice From The Bride

I highly recommend splitting up the wedding planning tasks. Speak up if something is important to you, but don’t avoid help if it’s not exactly the way you’d do it. You gotta let some aspects ride. You’re planning the best day of your life with your forever partner—the wedding should be a reflection of both of you.

Beautiful and Unique Chicken Farm Outdoor Wedding Inspiration

December 18, 2020 | riley

We’ve seen our fair share of unique wedding venues here at Junebug, but a chicken farm is a first–and we love it! When Junebug members put their minds to something, it becomes magic, and that is exactly what happened when photographer Rivkah Photography planned this styled shoot. With the help of planner Brittany Sagal Event Design, the Bird’s Eye Cove Farm was transformed into a bohemian and rustic wedding backdrop. 

Models Kiya and Glen “tied the knot” amidst the trees, pampas grass, and grand floral arrangements put together by Fleur De Lii before moving into the timber frame barn, which was decorated with peacock chairs, more florals, and stunning mustard and orange touches. And, of course, we can’t forget the stunning portraits of the couple with the chickens. How many people can say they have wedding pictures with farm animals?

Have you always dreamed of saying “I do” in a one-of-a-kind venue? Then keep scrolling because this one is going to elevate feelings of inspiration.

Easy-Going Big Sur Wedding at Ragged Point Inn

December 17, 2020 | riley

When a couple describes their wedding vision as easy-going and free-spirited, it’s certain to be fun and full of personal touches. That’s exactly how Elizabeth and Austin described their Big Sur wedding at Ragged Point Inn

When it came time to start wedding planning, the couple knew that they wanted to tie the knot in the place where Elizabeth said “yes!” during a hike. With the help of expert planner Engaged Life, their love for the ocean shined through as they said “I do” in a ceremony that overlooked the seaside cliffs.

The two followed their ceremony with a reception amidst the pines, complete with a twinkle light canopy, soul music, pampas grass and florals from Plain Jane Posy, and a record player guest book. Now that’s how to make a wedding unique to a couple. We’re glad that Junebug member Carmen Lopez Photography was there to capture the love, laughs, and everything in between!

A Memorable—And Sunny—Walk Down The Aisle

Big Sur is known for majestic views and rolling fog, so it was no surprise that there was a low hanging fog on our wedding day. The air was warm, and everything looked mystical–like we were inside a dewy cloudland, nestled next to the mountains and at the edge of the coast. As I got ready to walk down the aisle the sun came bursting through the clouds. Soaked in light, I emerged to see my groom standing at the arbor. He was fighting back tears, and I could feel everything–the sun on my back, the smiles from the crowd, and the intensity of the commitment we were making to each other in front of all our loved ones. The sun stayed shining through our ceremony, where we exchanged our handwritten vows, and I will truly never forget that moment.

Why Ragged Point Inn

Austin proposed to me on a hike in Big Sur, and I knew that I wanted to get married in what we believe is the most magical place. We knew we wanted an outdoor wedding and a place that our guests could stay on site. This was extremely limiting in the Big Sur area, so when we discovered Ragged Point Inn, we knew it had to be our venue.
