Urban Minneapolis Wedding at The Neu Neu in Black, Evergreen, and Gold

June 9, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Ashley and Gabriel are giving us all the modern winter vibes today in their downtown Minneapolis wedding at The Neu Neu! Using a palette of evergreen, black, and gold, the couple’s planner MAVEN created a classic and classy affair that was as cozy as it was elegant. And the talented team at Lilia Flower Boutique made the reception space feel like an indoor winter garden. The cherry on top of this modern wintry celebration? The bride and bridesmaids’ fur stoles, of course, which finished off their timeless looks! From the couple’s first touch to their romantic post-ceremony portraits on the rooftop, photographer Laurken Kendall captured every moment of this wedding beautifully!

This Sahara Desert Elopement Inspiration is Romantic Moroccan Wanderlust Wedding Goals

June 8, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Anni Graham Photography and Mae & Co. Creative made all our Moroccan wedding dreams come true with this unbelievable Sahara Desert elopement! Set in the Kam Kam dunes, this styled shoot had it all: safari-inspired bride and groom style, a bohemian picnic in the sand, and a camel ride into the sunset. We can’t get enough of the chic decor the team used for the picnic. Plus, the dried flowers Brier + Ivy hung over the picnic canopy were an unexpected — and stunning — finishing touch! We’re also completely obsessed with the bride’s two-piece Elizabeth Dye ensemble and the groom’s modern Arabic-styled look. Needless to say, we won’t be able to get this elopement inspiration off our minds for the foreseeable future!

From the photographer: “Located in the heart of the Sahara Desert, Kam Kam Dunes was the perfect location for this adventure elopement styled shoot. Our couple traveled 13 hours by bus from Marrakesh to be immersed in the culture-rich Sahara Berber region. The couple spent the morning at the camp, a glamping site filled with traditional Berber tents adorned in local-made organic leather.”

From the photographer: “The couple’s clothing celebrated the desert safari feel of this elopement, as the bride wore an Elizabeth Dye two-piece and the groom wore a traditional Arabic-styled piece and hat. The bride rode a camel as the duo traveled across the dunes to chase the desert’s waning light. A local officiant led the couple through their vows, then they ended the evening under a sprawling dried-floral canopy from Brier and Ivy with a gorgeous tablescape styled by Mae and Co. Kam Kam Dunes was perfect for this adventure-seeking couple, who embraced all the natural beauty of Morocco’s desert.”

This Uniquely Styled Edwards, Colorado Wedding Includes Luxe Neutrals and Chic Pops of Red

June 8, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Do you hear that? It’s the mountains in Julie and Mark’s Edwards, Colorado wedding calling, and we must go! The bride, who was the creative genius behind the design, created a natural elegance that evoked the low-key sophistication of the Colorado Rockies. The couple’s planner, Bella Design & Planning, did a marvelous job helping them bring their vision to life. Between the neutral colors at the private ranch venue and the bursts of poppy red in the florals created by Nature’s Grace Design, the bridesmaids’ gowns, and the bride’s shoes, the details of this wedding are simply too stunning for words! Cork Creative did a masterful job capturing every angle and every moment of this wedding, especially the couple’s uber-romantic first look and their larger-than-life dance party under the stars!

The Couple:

Julie and Mark

The Wedding:

Private Ranch, Edwards, Colorado

For my wedding day style, I wanted to look ethereal and bohemian while still maintaining an elegance that I would appreciate in 25 years. I went to 12 appointments to look for a dress and finally landed on the one I wore, which fit like a glove the moment I tried it on! I wore a pair of gorgeous Aminah Abdul Jillil bow pumps in red and earrings that were custom made by my sister-in-law, who is the founder and designer of Retrouvai. The earrings are called “gypsies” and are a string of gemstones that incorporated pearls and brought all of the red, green, and natural colors of our wedding together.

I told my bridesmaids to pick a 3/4 length dress or longer in poppy red and it came together beautifully! I love that all of the girls chose a dress that they felt comfortable in and can wear again. One bridesmaid was pregnant (which I didn’t know at the time) and her dress hid her little secret perfectly. Another bridesmaid re-wore her dress on her honeymoon one month later!

Our first look! Mark rode in on a horse and it was the most breathtaking and mind-blowing part of the day. I felt so calm but full of emotion at the same time! If I had to choose others, it would be having the bridesmaids and groomsmen get ready together (because why wouldn’t I want to spend my wedding day with my best friends and future hubby?) and dancing under the stars. The band and dancing were also so memorable. I had never seen the band live and, within the first 10 seconds of them coming on, I knew they nailed it!

The most important parts of wedding planning were choosing an outdoor location in the Colorado Rockies, where Mark is from, and customizing every detail of the wedding to ensure our personalities shone through and our guests realized how special we wanted to make our wedding celebration for them!

Our advice for other couples is to spend time researching your vendors and locking them down first. You work with them so frequently, so it’s important that you have the same vision as them! That will help in pulling together your vision so you can start figuring out the details.
