Rose Gold and Burgundy Audrey’s Farmhouse Wedding in Wallkill, New York

December 7, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

After spending 2 years searching for the perfect wedding venue, Ashley and Elvis fell in love at first sight with the blueprints for Audrey’s Farmhouse and there was no turning back! The couple wanted a relaxed and natural feel for their wedding day, and that’s exactly what they got with the help of Nectar de Fete wedding planners. Their combination of rose gold vintage decor with neutral floral and pops of burgundy for the bridesmaids’ dresses was as pretty as could be. Plus, the wide open space of the farm and the greenhouse reception space offered beautiful backdrops for every part of their day and made their wedding feel truly intimate and secluded. The emotional moments that Tori Mercedes Photography captured had our hearts doing flips until the very end.

The Couple:

Ashley and Elvis

The Wedding:

Audrey’s Farmhouse, Wallkill, New York

The most important part of our wedding planning process was our guest list. We knew we did not want a huge wedding from the moment we were engaged. We really stuck to this decision despite what our families had to say about it. We really wanted to keep it as intimate as possible, only inviting our closest family and friends. We believe that made the day so much more magical.

From the groom: The most memorable parts of the day for me were watching my future wife walk down the aisle to “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles and opening the ring box with our son at the ceremony. When we opened the box, he said in amazement, “Oh wow!” when he saw the rings.

From the bride: My most memorable moment was the handwritten letter that Elvis wrote for me the morning of our wedding day. It was so heartfelt and such a nice surprise from him. It was a good thing I didn’t have my makeup done yet because I was a sappy mess by the end of it!

We searched for a good 2 years before finding Audrey’s Farmhouse. We saw some pretty amazing venues but none of them felt right until we stumbled upon their website. We currently live in Florida but Audrey’s is nestled between both of our hometowns, so it was really a perfect location for us. We knew we wanted mountains, fire pits, and s’mores and this venue accommodated all of that and more.

The actual event space was not built yet but we knew that we finally found what we were looking for. Their B&B was breathtaking, so we knew that the venue would not fall short of that. We called Audrey’s Farmhouse right away, they sent over the blueprint of what the venue was set to look like when completed, and we booked our wedding date immediately. It was honestly so much more than we could have ever dreamt of!

The Theme for This Leonard Lake Reserve Wedding was Summer Camp, But Make It Fashion

December 6, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Ashley and Justin’s Leonard Lake Reserve wedding had a distinct summer camp vibe but with a super chic twist! The couple made sure their laid-back personalities guided every decision of their wedding day and made for the coziest outdoor celebration with friends and family. But, for an element of sophisticated fun, the bride chose a sexy, modern bell-sleeve gown from Loho Bride and the groom rocked a Giorgio Armani — both of which provided a stunning contrast to their otherwise campy aesthetic. And, yes, we’re all in for this unexpected yet complementary style combination! Randi Kreckman did a phenomenal job capturing every nuance and dreamy moment of this wedding, from the couple’s secluded first look in the forest to their golden hour portraits in the open fields.

The Couple:

Ashley and Justin

The Wedding:

Leonard Lake Reserve, Redwood Valley, California

Our wedding was at a nature reserve with a beautiful lake and several unique cabins surrounding it. We invited our friends and family to stay the weekend with us on the property because we really wanted it to feel like a relaxing vacation. We are very laid-back and love the outdoors, so we wanted our wedding to reflect that. Leonard Lake Reserve was the only place we looked at and it was perfection! It had enough room to house all our guests, was a nice place to relax, swim, and play during the days, and had the right aesthetic.

The first look was the most memorable part of our wedding. We choose to exchange our vows privately in a circle of redwood trees before our official ceremony with our friends and family. It was a beautifully magical setting and we were happy that we planned in one-on-one time because the rest of the time we were partying with the guests.

We mixed a custom essential oil blend and gave that blend in a roller to each guest. We both choose three scents that reminded us of the other person and mixed them together to create our wedding scent.

Processional – “Voila” by Frances Hardy
Recessional – “My Heart’s on Fire” by Lil Bob the Lollipops
First Dance – “Harvest Moon” by Neil Young
