Unique Elopement Alert: This Couple Exchanged Vows Among Over 100 Hot Air Balloons in Cappadocia, Turkey

October 21, 2019 | brooke

If you’ve been searching for unique elopement ideas, get ready to fall head over heels for every photo Phan Tien captured of Louise and James! We can’t imagine a more romantic, picturesque place to exchange vows than with hundreds of colorful hot air balloons floating in the background as the sun rises over the Cappadocia landscapes. It was important to the couple that their outfits match the scenery, and we think they totally pulled with off with Louise in a gorgeous Ho-dieng dress accented with florals designed by Atelier Aimer. Scroll on and get all the unique elopement inspiration you’ll ever need!

The Couple:

Louise & James

The Wedding:

Sultan Cave Suites, Cappadocia, Turkey

The groom’s outfit was dark brown and the bride’s dress was cream/slightly vintage. We also had some lovely dry flowers which looked rustic and bohemian. It matched the scenery.

Tien led us to a “secret” spot at the edge of a cliff, and we never questioned his instructions! It was an exciting feeling watching the sun rise above the grandeur of the landscapes of beautiful Cappadocia, with possibly more than a hundred hot air balloons floating in the background. We also read our vows, which had been prepared the day before, to each other, and it was memorable because it was such an amazing (and inexplicable at the same time) feeling to spill our love for each other in front of such a natural wonder.

Wedding planning advice from the couple: We had pretty good advice from Tien (mostly to not wear certain things) and Tien also lent us a really pretty bridal dress. It is important to be and look comfortable when being shot on camera — it really shows. And…just enjoy the moment! It’s more important to look happy than to look perfectly poised.

Lush and Lovely Protea Inspired Wedding at White Willow Farms

October 20, 2019 | brooke

Abigail and Jeremy celebrated their love in style at White Willow Farms in Indianapolis, Indiana! The couple’s goal for their wedding was to make everyone feel like they were at home, so they hired Boldly Chic Events to help them create a day that didn’t feel like a production, but gave off all the boho elegance and “homey” vibes. From the Proteas (Abigail’s favorite flower) Jim Sims used in the floral design to the couple’s go-to dessert: WheelHouse Donuts — the day was truly a representation of their love. If hometown, lush vibes are your thing, you won’t want to miss every gorgeous photo Sarah Kriner captured from this lovely day at White Willow Farms!

The Couple:

Abigail & Jeremy

The Wedding:

White Willow Farms, Indianapolis, Indiana

The bride’s (second) most memorable part of the day: Honorable mention on the most memorable part would have to be the wind (as you’ll see from the pictures, lol). I think my sister said it best, “It was windy, for God to hold off the rain and it simply sprinkled – only for a minute – to show Heaven’s tears of joy.”

We only toured two wedding venues in the Indianapolis area and instantly fell in love with White Willow Farms located right outside the city in Arcadia, IN. The venue actually had just opened in October 2018 and we toured it right before its first wedding weekend and booked it the same day for June 8th, 2019. We loved that it was a modern barn, but nothing about it felt like a farm. The owners, Holly and Joel Phillips have such an amazing vision and we keep in touch with them often. Everything they have created from the outdoor chapel with church pews, to the gorgeous bridal and groom suites, it’s just perfect and really allowed our day to feel relaxed, yet boho elegance.

From the rug we were married on (I love home decor and boho aesthetics), to the proteas (my favorite flower) flown in for the ceremony from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa that was adorned throughout so much of our day, to our signature drinks (bourbon for him, mezcal for me) we are truly created this beautiful, relaxed wedding day that turned into such a fun party that both of us ended up being hoisted onto chairs by the end of the evening.

Sarah Kriner is the most amazing soul! Like adore her and the whole reason I chose her is because I wanted the emotion and love of our wedding day to be captured and to tell a story– and we did exactly that. She is so low key amazing. I love the photos of us in front of the Bronco.
