This Gorgeous Butterland Wedding Transformed an Old Butter Factory into a Vintage Wonderland

February 6, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

When it comes to awe-inspiring wedding venues, this Butterland wedding proves that there can be so much beauty in nearly forgotten spaces. Not only did this unique, restored butter factory venue add so much character to Cat and Bardo’s special day, but their entire inspiration came from the unlikeliest source: a 1973 Corolla that Bardo spent 12 years restoring. The couple drew from that vintage vibe and added an elegant mix of florals and minimal, vintage-inspired decor that complemented the venue perfectly. The cherry on top of all this prettiness was Cat’s vintage Gwendolynne gown and loose curls, which made us feel like we’d be transported back to the ’20s! Photographer Tanya Voltchanskaya nailed it in telling this unforgettable love story through her creativity and attention to detail.

Dreamy DIY Snohomish Wedding at Wildshoot Forest & Farm

February 5, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

We’re having a hard time thinking of anything cozier than Katie and Marc’s wedding day Wildshoot Forest & Farm! This sweet couple spent months collecting and creating nearly every element of their wedding decor with the goal of not only representing the best of their relationship but also the challenges that made them who they were when they said, “I do.” Their entire day was focused on family, friends, and the love that brought everyone together — and the result was just as magical as you can imagine! Despite the rain, their outdoor ceremony and open-air reception in the farmstead were casual and naturally charming, and photographer Anni Graham captured that vibe with all the grace and softness it deserved.

The Couple:

Katie and Marc

The Wedding:

Wildshoot Forest & Farm, Snohomish, Washington

The most important thing for us was keeping our wedding and the atmosphere around it to be true to ourselves and true to the story of our relationship. We intentionally included references to some harder times and some less-than-perfect moments, because that was the reality of story that we had come through to get to the moment of saying “I do.” We also really strove to make the friends and family that were able to come to feel loved and welcomed to celebrate along with us – we wanted to have a big party, and have a ton of fun, not just have everyone staring at us the whole time.

During the ceremony we had anyone who wanted, come up and surround us, lay hands on us, offer blessings, prayers, and encouragements. It was an amazing moment of feeling held and carried by our community – we knew that we weren’t entering this marriage by alone, but with the support of our friends and our families.

Large portions of our wedding and decorations were DIY. Wildshoot Forest & Farm provided a guided forage of the property the day prior for us to gather greenery and florals that we used for a majority of the centerpieces, chandelier, and other decorations. We used old books to create the table runners and collected brown glass bottles to use for centerpieces. We also handmade the table name cards. With the beauty and charm of the venue and an outdoor ceremony, we were able to keep the decorations pretty minimal and simple, which was a huge help in the planning and decorating process.

We spent months beforehand collecting an eclectic variety of coffee mugs from thrift stores, co-workers, friends, and neighbors for guests to use throughout the night and beyond. Upon arrival, we had a table set up with the mugs (and a sign saying “Let your mug choose you”) and guests could choose which mug called out to them.

Our best advice: You probably have more talented and creative people in your life who love you than you realize, don’t be afraid to ask them for help! There’s no way we could have done this by ourselves, nor would it have been as meaningful.

This Spectacular Moroccan Wedding at Villa Taj Marrakech Left Literally No Detail Untouched

February 4, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Charlie and AJ’s Moroccan wedding at Villa Taj Marrakech was essentially a masterclass in maximalism! There were vases of every shape and size, Moroccan rugs covering the ground, fairy lights galore, embroidery hoops and macrame in every nook, and dried flowers mixed with pampas grass filling all the empty space. Oh, and we can’t forget about the pièce de résistance: a Fez hat on every place setting! This talented bride and her dream team of vendors made all our Moroccan wedding dreams come true, balancing the subtle art of over-the-top decor while still feeling classy and curated. We could go on and on about the spectacular intricacy of this wedding, but we’ll let these phenomenal photos from Tali Photography tell the whole story instead!

Charlie and AJ

The Wedding:

Villa Taj Marrakech, Marrakech, Morocco

We fell in love with Villa Taj Marrakech as soon as we saw it. The wedding space alone gave us all the feels, but picturing our nearest and dearest being able to stay at the venue made us so excited for all the pool time, rosé on the rooftop, and nights under the olive trees!

There were lots of little touches that enabled us to personalize the ceremony, from DIY decorations (courtesy of the bride), our friend Leo marrying us, and our personal vows (which made us both giggle lots)! Our friends were also in charge of the music and we had home-made fans featuring the day’s programme.

I am a details person and kept being told not to sweat the small things, the little bits that people won’t remember. But I have to say all those little personal touches made it extra magical for us, seeing all of our visions and planning come to life truly made it extra special. That, and not to get lost in the planning and forgetting why you are getting married in the first place!

In the end, we decided on everyone having a traditional Moroccan fez hat on their plate which was fun, great for photos but also a little keep safe for everyone! Adhering to Moroccan tradition under each hat was a small personalized bottle of rose water for guests to wash their hands before eating.

I actually didn’t have a style inspiration as such, I just found what I loved as I went! First, I decided I wanted something ridiculous and sassy on my head, and I thought about Frida Kahlo! So, I had a gold Stephanie Browne crown I wore later in the evening but in the day had an amazing dry floral crown created by the florist for the daytime, a slick of orange lipstick, and the fluted sleeves on my dress made me feel sassily fabulous!

I made embroidery hoops and trailing ribbon hoops in the lead up to the wedding, as well as a macrame for the aisle and spent months collecting dry flowers in Australia to bring for my wonderful florist. We also decided to print a vintage polaroid of every guest for our seating plan which placed on two Morrocan doors with a sign “find your face to find your place.” We carefully selected ridiculously funny photos to help break the ice for guests who hadn’t met before.

Aside from that moment of seeing each other’s face at the ceremony, we had a pinch ourselves moment partying under the Marrakech stars, twirling with happiness with all of our loved ones around, especially living so far away – it made us just feel like the luckiest pair!
