Calgary Farm Wedding in Rust, Moss, and Blush

December 22, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

When the bride is also the stylist, you know the day is going to be amazing! Rebekah and Payton’s Calgary farm wedding was inspired by the style of Morocco with hues of rust, plum, and blush. We’re absolutely in love with all of the small details that really pulled this day together — like the most adorable monogram Lark & Ives pin that Rebekah wore on her denim jacket after the ceremony! If you’re into that rustic boho chic style, you’re sure to swoon over every photo Kadie Hummel Photography beautifully captured of this day!

The Couple:

Rebekah & Payton

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Alberta, Canada

From the groom: The most memorable part of the day, as cliche as it is, was turning around and seeing my beautiful bride walking towards me and thinking I am going to remember this moment for the rest of my life. She spent most of her walk down the aisle looking at her feet because of how nervous she was, but it was still a perfect moment. And made even better when she reached the end of the aisle and we locked eyes and hands.

We had so many epic wedding failures – the wind knocked over our favour display, our catering/dinner was late, two of my bridesmaids tripped down the aisle (yes… two of them), and a number of other problems that popped up throughout the day.

What I learned, is that no matter how much you plan, or how many contingencies you have, something will inevitably go wrong. So the best thing to do, is have a solid plan in place, and then try your best to be flexible (or just laugh it off) when something goes wrong (because it will).

From the wooden stir sticks featuring handmade tassels, to the oven-baked clay place cards, to the stamped petal bags, this wedding features DIY’s from top to bottom! (That’s what happens when you have an artsy bride—with experience in wedding stationery and styling—and a vision for everything down to the smallest detail!)

We had a gorgeous guest favor display wall, with a selection of small jars of peach jelly and Saskatoon berry jam. Each jar featured our monogrammed initials in gold with a hand-lettered tag.

English Fairy Tale Elopement Inspiration at Brickhouse Vineyard

December 21, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Carla Towill of Unbridled created this styled elopement inspiration at Brickhouse Vineyard to show how an eclectic mix of hand crafted vendors can be brought together to create a fairy tale day! Rather than hiring one vendor to pull off the entire event, Carla carefully picked a talented team to create a day like no other. With veganism and sustainability in mind, she decided to choose re-useable flowers from two incredible florists, Emma Hewlett Floral Design and Poppy’s of Exeter. All suppliers were local and founded with environmental ethics — including Febbie Day Ceramics, an eco friendly ceramicist, and Brickhouse Vineyard, which grows its own grapes to make delicious wine. We can’t wait for you to get inspired by every detail from this styled photo shoot!

From the photographer: I created this shoot as a result of the lessons I learned when planning my own wedding recently. ‘DIY’ had connotations of times gone past, however, I feel an eclectic mix of hand crafted components brought together through your own process has a huge place in todays wedding arena. Why chose one supplier who leads your choices? Why not hand pick each and every item you would like to build your day.

Venue – Brickhouse Vineyard

Colorful Latin-Inspired Wedding at Casa Romantica

December 21, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Julia and Emmanuel had been to many weddings, so when it came to dreaming of their own day, they had two questions that were top of mind: “Would guests enjoy Casa Romantica? Would they be able to access the bar easily?” Cue: Laughter and cheers throughout the Junebug team when we read that one! It was also important that their personalities were represented through the lively, Latin-inspired decor and tropical details, so the couple hired All in the Detail Design to help them pull off their vision. When it came to the florals for their day, The Bloom of Time was inspired by the natural landscape of the venue and created floral arrangements filled with birds of paradise and other lovely, vibrant blooms. If you’ve been dreaming of a cultural and colorful wedding day, you’re going to love every photo Ashley Paige Photography captured of Julia and Emmanuel’s inspiring day at Casa Romantica!

The Couple:

Julia & Emmanuel

The Wedding:

Casa Romantica, San Clemente, CA

Bloom of Time went above and beyond in terms of delivery to make me happy. They are gracious, patient, sweet and GIFTED. They will make your day come to life and better than you could ever imagine.

Wedding planning advice from the bride and groom: Leave a little budget for emergencies. A few days before our wedding it started showing a chance of rain so there was additional cost for a tent and a heater that I definitely didn’t plan for. Maybe 2-3k thousand dollars for unexpected costs. 

My photographer is my favorite person ever, Ashley. The best part of Ashley is she makes you feel so comfortable and is funny! Which makes the task of taking 10000 pictures a lot more fun. The best part of the day of with Ashley is that she turns on the BOSS mode big time. It was so efficient, she takes charge of the room, people listen to her and she gets the job done so you can go and be with your friends and family!

I love Mediterranean architecture and Emmanuel’s one ask was “to be on the water.” so when we found Casa Romantica it was a DONE DEAL. Listen to your gut. Casa Romantica was the only place that gave us a ton of excitement and visualization. When you get those feelings, you are in the right place.

We tried to add fun touches all over. Specialized cocktail names, monogramed napkins, our pastor interviewed our bridal party to make the ceremony more personalized. We also decided to use a churro cart for dessert along side the cake to play into Emmanuel’s Mexican heritage.

We definitely tried to incorporate a more Spanish Portuguese menu but adding sides that represent that culture. We offered salmon or filet mignon paired with asparagus and batatas bravas. People still bring up our menu almost 7 months later. 24 Carrots did an AMAZING job. It was delicious.
