Blush and Copper Canton, Georgia Wedding at Events on Main

October 3, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Simple styling and retro vibes were all Cori and Justin needed to pull off the DIY wedding of their dreams at Events on Main. This artistic bride kept the design simple with eucalyptus leaves, thrift store candlesticks and classic books, and antlers from her grandpa, but the result was stunning. The couple’s retro vibe was carried through the entire day, from the muted color palette to the bride’s simple Elizabeth Dye gown to the couple’s coordinating, retro accessories created by Fossil and Hide. It was obvious from the first photo that Sarah Joy Photo and Kelly Breann Photo were the perfect choices to capture the creativity and nuance of this gorgeous Georgia wedding!

The Couple:

Cori and Justin

The Wedding:

Events on Main, Canton, Georgia

I’m really influenced by retro styling, as an artist, and as a person, and I love simplicity. My bridal look was very low-key. Justin and I wore a coordinating necklace/bar tie set from Fossil and Hide. I wanted to bring in the ’70s sort of vibe, so I included some smaller hanging disco balls and did a macrame backdrop to stand in front of, with really simple accents throughout the rest of the venue.

Justin and I wrote our own vows, that we read for the first time during the ceremony. It was really special being able to do this, and I got way more emotional than I saw coming. Also, right before I walked down the aisle, my dad gave me a handkerchief that belonged to my grandpa who passed away when I was younger. So that, plus getting married, had me crying like a baby all the way down the aisle.

Our photographer, Sarah, is the bee’s knees! My husband and I actually shot her wedding video when she got married, and we’ve been friends for a while. So, working with her was a breeze. She’s also an incredible human being with a great work ethic and bomb style. It wasn’t hard to know she was the one when looking for a photographer!

I’m just simple when it comes to decorating, and always have been. We used eucalyptus leaves and some white tapered candles with clear candlestick holders of varying styles and heights I picked up from thrift stores throughout the year. I made the macrame backdrop we stood in front of with some copper pipes from Home Depot and watched tutorials online on how to macrame. For the base, I drilled holes in some classic books I found thrifting. I also used antlers from my grandpa’s time spent hunting and designed the cards and gift sign in Illustrator. It was a very low-key, DIY wedding but with a few fun touches.

Justin’s dad let us ride away in his 1964 Convertible Rambler. It was super special because we took that car on drives when we first started dating. Justin also booked us a couple of nights at the new Clermont Hotel in Atlanta, which was like something out of a dream for anyone who loves retro vibes. It felt like a Wes Anderson movie!

Classic Meets Bohemian Lakefront Wedding at The Suttle Lodge

October 2, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

If you love autumnal florals, classic decor, and romantic waterfront moments, get ready for Candice and Jim’s wedding at The Suttle Lodge to make your heart swell with happiness! The cozy PNW vibes were strong in their outdoor ceremony, which featured a jaw-dropping floral backdrop created by HART Floral Design. The jewel-tone color palette added both a classic elegance and bohemian charm, and the calligraphed signs and place cards Candice made added the sweetest touch of personalization. We can’t get over how beautiful Candice looked in a delicate lace Lihi Hod gown, which perfectly fit the carefree, woodsy, romantic feel of this wedding. We also love that Jim stayed true to his personal style with a classic blue suit and quirky accessories. From the couple’s sweet first look in the woods to their private canoe ride, photographer Katy Weaver was there to capture every dreamy moment of this Oregon wedding!

The Couple:

Candice and Jim

The Wedding:

The Suttle Lodge, Sisters, Oregon

In planning our wedding, our priority was to host a fun and intimate celebration for our family and friends to enjoy with Jim and I. We made sure to stay at each other’s side the entire time and really be present in this magical time we were so fortunate to have with all of our loved ones. 

Jim and I became great friends and fell in love while exploring the Pacific Northwest, especially Oregon. We wanted to host our wedding weekend here and have our family and friends truly experience the beauty and natural landscape that is our outdoor playground. We envisioned our wedding ceremony and reception surrounded by forest. The Suttle Lodge near Sisters, Oregon was one of many venues we considered. Ultimately we chose our venue for its rustic but modern “Wes Anderson” vibe on a breathtaking lakefront. We wanted a venue that could accommodate our entire group for a 3-day party including on-site lodging, restaurant/bar and offer outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and campfires.

I did not have official bridesmaids but my closest friends formed a bridal tribe. They each wore a long dress (or suit) in different jewel-colored hues. My ladies and gent created a gorgeous rainbow!

Directly after the ceremony, while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour and made their way to the reception, Jim and I snuck away to our cabin for “introvert” time to celebrate this magical occasion and enjoy a cocktail and snacks. 

I was set on refining my calligraphy skills so I could create the signage (welcome, bar menu, dinner menu, seating chart) and dinner setting place cards. I also made the wishing tree. It was enjoyable and cathartic, and I think they turned out pretty good!

I surprised Jim with a 1971 cherry red Volkswagon Bus turned rental photo booth. We loved it! We think our guests did, too, based on the wild photos from this night!
