This Vintage Industrial New Year’s Eve Wedding at Brik Venue was a Night to Remember

October 9, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

A little industrial, a little Art Deco, and a whole lot romantic: Ann and Connor’s wedding at Brik Venue was an unforgettable New Year’s Eve celebration from beginning to end! Because they decided to tie the knot on such an important night, this creative couple wanted to throw a party to remember, and we think they did just that. The DIY decor pieces that Connor made, including the ceremony backdrop, table numbers, menus, and slate drink menu, added personal touches to the industrial space that were as beautiful as they were impressive. Nothing about this wedding was overdone, but it had a distinct vintage glam vibe and loads of greenery that added pretty touches of nature with an unexpected twist. From the sweet getting ready moments to the kiss countdown and fireworks at the end of the night, Grant Daniels Photography did a phenomenal job capturing every moment of this Texas wedding!

The Couple:

Ann and Connor

The Wedding:

Brik Venue, Fort Worth, Texas

To us, the most important aspects of our wedding were that it emphasized the principles we wished to build our marriage on and that it was filled with those whom we love. We also chose to keep the traditions we found sacred and meaningful and then totally just did whatever we wanted with the rest of it! Of course, we wanted it to be a great New Year’s Eve party.

We were married by a dear, long-time friend of ours who actually introduced us. We will never forget standing in front of him, before all our guests, surrounded by our closest friends and family– vowing to love and cherish each other for as long as we both shall live.

Connor designed and made our alter, table numbers, invitations, menus, and some slate engraved drink menus. The alter was a handmade cedar and cloth creation of our own design, and the table numbers were made from mirrored gold and gloss black acrylic.

We had many surprises our wedding day. It snowed and iced that morning (in Texas) and the highways from both of our hometowns to where we had the wedding were a wreck! Thankfully our vendors were absolute champs and everything went off without a hitch (without our outdoor happy hour). But, most importantly, everyone who chose to make the dangerous trek got there safely!

The Mediterranean Vibes in this Valencia Wedding at La Mozaira are What Dreams are Made Of

Get ready to fall head-over-heels with the Mediterranean vibes and old-world architecture in this destination wedding at La Mozaira! Using a clean and crisp black and white color palette, Nathalie and Tim added a classic and timeless look that allowed the natural beauty and gorgeous landscaping of the venue to take center stage. In addition to the beautiful design, this wedding was full of emotional and tender moments. As an alternative to a first look, the couple exchanged letters and prayed together before their garden ceremony. Afterward, they and Sophie Brendle Photography took full advantage of every romantic nook and cranny of the beautiful venue for their newlywed photo session. Nathalie and Tim were able to create a sophisticated yet approachable wedding that was one-of-a-kind and unforgettable.

The Wedding:

La Mozaira, Valencia, Spain

Tim and I really wanted to make decisions together. Whether that was what city in Spain to look for a venue in or what color tie the groomsmen were wearing, we wanted everything to be together.

During the ceremony, our pastor read the passage from the bible where the husband goes to his brides home to get her to start their life together. As I stood with my mom and dad, he said, “Tim go get your bride.” Being so close with my parents, it was a meaningful and tearful moment where I realized that Tim and I were becoming one.

Planning a wedding from a different country was an adventure! When we were looking for venues, we basically used google maps. When we found La Mozaira, I walked around in google maps getting so excited and praying that this would be the one. Since I am an architect, I was immediately drawn to the house, the gardens, and the veranda that was covered in greenery. It was the perfect Spanish/Mediterranean villa. I had a vision for the photography and just knew that this venue was the one. We knew that every detail would make it a special getaway for us and our family and friends.

I wanted my wedding day fashion to celebrate the different cultures that make me who I am. Since I was born in Colombia, one of my cousins gifted me a beautiful pair of gold earrings from Galeria Cano in Bogota. I also got to wear my grandmother’s emerald ring. The emerald was a gift to my grandmother from my dad and uncle from the first time they visited Colombia from France. My sweet grandmother passed away 2 months before our wedding and my grandfather gifted me the ring a week before the wedding. It was so special for me to wear it and remember how much she wanted to be there on that day! It was my favorite piece of jewelry aside from my engagement ring.

Romantic Rustic San Diego Wedding at BRICK Liberty Station

October 7, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Industrial elegance met rustic chic design in Brianna and Daniel’s San Diego wedding at BRICK Liberty Station! The planners at Bliss Events helped the couple bring their dream wedding to life with lush florals from Organic Elements and rustic farmhouse tables that added a charming yet casual feel to the all-brick venue. The creative couple and their family put their DIY skills to great use creating special details, from the hand-painted tile place cards to the wood and neon ceremony and sweetheart table backdrops. Even amid the chaos of the day, Brianna and Daniel had the chance to sneak away with Dani Purington Photography to enjoy a beer and to take the sweetest newlywed photos. From beginning to end, this San Diego wedding was a total love fest that completely stole our hearts!

The Couple:

Brianna and Daniel

The Wedding:

BRICK Liberty Station, San Diego, California

We wanted our day to reflect us entirely. Rather than a common arch as a focal point of the ceremony, I(bride) asked my dad to make a wooden backdrop, which we decorated with flowers and a neon “Davis” sign to display our last name. Each of the songs throughout our day held so much meaning. Our table numbers were beer growlers, naturally. Instead of a formal cake for everyone, we opted for customizable cookie ice cream sandwiches from a local business. Even the signature drinks — his, jack and coke, hers, spicy margarita — give insight into who we are as a couple.

The most memorable part of the day for us was when we snuck away from all that was going on to have a beer at the Bottlecraft, the beer shop across the street during cocktail hour. We made this time a priority as we knew we’d need a little getaway after the ceremony. The fact that our photographer and videographer were with us was perfect because they captured us in our element. It felt like we could experience our normal in such an abnormal day. We got back to us. We kissed, looked each other in the eye, and said, “Damn, life is good.”

The wedding planning advice that we’d give is to pick your top three priorities and plan those things out perfectly. Everything else will fall into place. The little details truly don’t matter. Things like the stitch on the napkin are things that you won’t remember or fret over a year down the road (or even a week down the road). It’s SO easy to get caught up in the details and pleasing every person on your guest list but the truth is that your guests will think it’s beautiful and you and your spouse will be over the moon. You’ll be officially married. That’s the only thing that matters.
