Gatsby-Themed Garden Party Wedding at The Roundhouse

October 31, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

We’re saying “cheers!” to Christie and Ryan’s Gatsby-themed garden party wedding at The Roundhouse in Beacon, New York. If you’re a fan of the roaring 20s and all things whimsical, you’re sure to swoon over every detail of this day, especially the magnificent arrangements August Sage and Violet created to line the isle of the couple’s ceremony space! We can’t wait for you to see how fashion-forward Christie was in her BHLDN gown accented with family heirlooms that totally fit the theme of this day. Scroll on for a dapper looking wedding party, the cutest ring bearer pug we’ve ever seen, and so many amazing moments photographed by the ever-talented The Ramsdens!

The Couple:

Christie & Ryan

The Wedding:

The Roundhouse, Beacon, New York

I love fashion and everything was BHLDN. This was my favorite part of the planning process. I went for a 20s Hollywood glam look. My favorite part of the look was definitely my cape. We had so much fun taking photos with it.

The most important thing to us during the wedding planning process was to not stress and trust the process. One of our really close friends, Emily Contillo, was the officiant and we trusted her to write a ceremony that would reflect us and our relationship. Just like we chose Roundhouse because we first said I love you in Beacon on a weekend getaway.

We had the best photographers! I cannot say enough great things about them. The Ramsdens made us feel so comfortable. My favorite photo  is of us by the waterfall dancing in the wind. We had a lot of fun during the entire shoot and they truly knew how to capture our relationship and the free spirited people we are.

We both love vintage and nature. We are always exploring and adventuring around wild flowers so we thought why not a Gatsby garden party theme with wild flowers.

Whimsical Scandinavian-Inspired St. Paul Wedding at Paikka

October 30, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Megan and Charlie celebrated their love with a most fabulous Scandinavian-inspired wedding at Paikka in St. Paul, Minnesota! We must say, these two looked effortlessly cool with Megan wearing an eclectic, whimsical Mara Hoffman dress and Charlie dressed in a classic black and white getup from Suit Supply. We’re especially in love with the details of this day that planner Laine Palm Designs creatively pulled together. Everything was the perfect mix between elegant and fun — from the marigold bouquet and every arrangement Apricot Floral beautifully designed to the cat figurine cake toppers (yes, they’re incredible!). If you’re one who falls in love with intimate weddings and good vibes, we can’t wait for you to see how oh-so-talented Sarah Ascanio Photography captured these lovebirds’ most special day at Paikka!

The Couple:

Megan & Charlie

The Wedding:

Paikka, St. Paul, Minnesota

I have a deep appreciation for small businesses and designers, having worked closely with them for many years. I’ve since moved to the furniture world, but loved picking out a wedding look. I knew I wanted to find pieces that I could wear again. My mom gifted me the most elegant double pearl earrings from Sophie Buhai. I will treasure these forever. For my dress, I chose the Bette Dress by Mara Hoffman. I wanted dramatic sleeves, and this dress had that. Also, the cotton / linen fabric was so easy for an August wedding. My shoes are the Vitta Sandals by the impeccable Mari Giudicelli.

We moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, two years ago. It was a long trip, caravanning with our friends, two cars filled to the brim with two cats and several house plants. We knew when we got engaged that we wanted to include our friends and family in the celebration and chose to have it back home in the Midwest, for this reason. We’re pretty untraditional – our dream was for a wedding that felt like a dinner party, with good food, lots of wine and shared memories.

Wedding planning advice from the couple: We had our wedding on a Thursday, didn’t invite kids, and had our friends bartend, DJ and officiate. A wedding can be whatever you want it to be – your people will be happy for you no matter what. Also, hire a great team and trust them to do their thing. We had no idea how valuable having a wedding planner would be, and we feel so lucky to have chosen Laine Palm. She is so professional and easy to work with, would definitely recommend to anyone.

The colors just happened – marigold for a golden day. We completely trusted our florist, Apricot Floral to create something soft, lush and memorable. She happened to choose strawflowers (also known as golden everlasting) for my bouquet and the boutonnières. My friends also happened to all wear marigold dresses!

Charlie‘s mom made our beautiful wedding cake. We had little figurines of our cats on the cake!

We had so many guests travel from all over the world. It was so special to have all those great friends and family in one place to share our day with us. Looking out during dinner and seeing everyone we love at these long tables, talking in the candle light, was exactly what we had imagined.

Wedding inspiration is crucial! I love some boho feels but also love a classic vibe. Inspiration helps stir up your imagination and gets you on the right track helping you pull your look all together! I absolutely loved my dress and accessorizing it was my favorite part. I wanted to have some statement pieces to make my wedding day look and feel like my everyday looks. I bought my beaded heels secondhand as well as my cream colored wide brim hat! I think the hat was my favorite, especially with the dried flowers!

Wedding planning advice from the bride: Try to balance out the duties between each other! Find the things each of you are interested in and have them be in charge. It helped us and we never felt too overwhelmed. Get creative with DIY and thrift decor. Communicate and have patience, it will all come together! The most important thing to us when it came to planning our wedding was to enjoy the process and to keep it as intimate as possible. Matt loved doing spreadsheets and timelines and I loved working on the decor so we found a balance and really enjoyed it!

I cannot say enough good things about our photographer Eve! There were so many amazing photos! I think our favorite is the shot of us outside of the iron gate. We couldn’t believe it was us! Working with her was the easiest part about the wedding. She was always went above and beyond our expectations. She was involved throughout the whole year and made a point to be extremely friendly and helpful. We felt like we really knew her so that when the day came, we felt comfortable and genuine. Her assistant was just as amazing. They captured everything!

Our venue hunt was challenging, neither of us had a dream plan so we considered all options! We were back and forth on eloping but decided to have a small wedding with family. We wanted to find something that was green, urban, and customizable to fit our style! That’s when we discovered Madera Kitchen. It was all of those things and more. It felt homey, green all in the heart of Hollywood.

We had a great team of wedding professionals! We are so grateful to have worked with them all. Our florist made it such a beautiful experience, we even saved the dried palms from the ceremony for home decor! I do have to say our photographer Eve was absolutely phenomenal. She truly loves what she does and is extremely professional and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and excited about your big day. Also, our Dj Wes from good mood was so awesome! He was very reliable and gave us free reign to choose our music but also offer his professional advice. He made the dance floor flow seamlessly into a killer dance party!

We are vegan and tried to have a friendly menu to appeal to everyone. We had great veggie appetizers like hummus and pita, flat breads, and veggie burger sliders. For entrees we had vegan veggie lemon pasta, vegetarian ravioli, and to be fair to our more carnivorous family we added a pineapple white fish dish! We had a beautiful desert table with favorite vegan donuts from Donut Friend. We actually bonded over a box of these donuts the first time we met!
