If the Black Barn at This Three Oaks Farm Wedding Doesn’t Steal Your Heart, The Cute Newlywed Photos Will

September 3, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Jacqueline and Patrick’s wedding at  Three Oaks Farm is the perfect blend of rustic and boho chic. Combining both of their styles and personalities, Jacqueline and Patrick opted for a laidback wedding with details that give it an elevated look. Shayna Chapman helped plan and style the space with moody florals, macrame table runners, and all the candles for the ultimate romantic feel. Sarah Joy Photo effortlessly captured so many beautiful portraits and fun details, including the cake cutting ceremony with a fire ax! It’s safe to say that this fireman and his bride had the best day ever and are ready to start this new chapter in their lives.

The Couple:

Jacqueline and Patrick

The Wedding:

Three Oaks Farm, LaGrange, Georgia

My dress was a BHLDN find and while I loved the original dress I added pieces my grandmother’s dress to make it mine. I used the remainder of her dress to make my garter and I had Patrick’s Air Force patch sewn into it.

I gifted to my husband his dream guitar, one that he would never buy for himself. A Taylor 322 CE. Prior to our day we found out we were going to have a baby and we had also just purchased a home. I knew with these responsibilities and in always putting our marriage first, he’d put his hobbies and some of his passions second. I wanted him to know- his passion is my passion and I will take care of him as he has taken care of me. My vows were laced through the strings. I could hear him playing through the walls of the venue and I could feel his happiness in every strum. Best money I have ever spent or purchase I have ever made- which is exactly what he said about purchasing my engagement ring.

The black barn element at Three Oaks Farm represented the south and the chic black represented all things LA. There aren’t many Barns in California, where I am from, and the concept to me was beautiful. I loved the unfinished floors, with the warm wood walls and the twinkling lights and blush drapes sealed the deal. We wanted to be married outside and Patrick loved the body of water. It was tucked away, but not hard to find- it had all the elements.

I can’t choose one favorite photo. Sarah captured so many moments of genuine adoration between Patrick and me, our friends and family… even our sweet Daisy, our ten-month-old puppy. I look at these photos everyday and am warmed by how I get to notice new details everyday because of them.

Our photographer, Sarah, just simply has a gift. You can’t teach someone to recognize the moments and do so with so much ease. Her editing style is also what completed the look of my wedding and made it so in every form of print we have. We will definitely be using her again and again and again. 

Our chalkboard signs were hand-drawn calligraphy by my father-in-law, Craig, and our arbor was built by Patrick. My Mom made every wedding favor by hand. Lot’s of DIY contribution!

I started with wanting a moody spring wedding. Dark tones with the odd pastel to off set the season. Golds and green, candle light, shades of wine and mauve, navy blue open collars. I wanted the florals somewhat wild and funky while still maintaining that this was after all, a romantic event. I wanted romance more than anything. Hence my millions of candles and loose garlands flowing. The boho aspects- like my flower crown and the different dress colors and styles were the elements of California I wanted to bring in. Open collars for the men just felt free.

Angie and Matt’s Toronto wedding at The Eglinton Grand was an incredible combination of glamorous style and quirky details. The couple chose the vintage movie theatre to host their special day because it was full of character and Art Deco vibes that encompassed Matt’s love of movies and Angie’s love of the ‘20s and ‘30s time period. For her bridal look, Angie channeled old Hollywood glam with a tulle Lea-Ann Belter gown, delicate gloves, and David Dunkley fascinator. For the reception, Swoon Events brought in all the gold, glitz, and glam they could fit into the converted theatre.

Northern California Brunch Wedding at an Olive Grove

September 2, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Sarah and Miles’ brunch wedding combined three of our favorite wedding trends: breakfast foods, DIY decor, and garden party vibes. This wedding, which took place on a relative’s private farm, was almost entirely handmade by this creative couple and their tribe of loving friends and family. Because Sarah and Miles wanted the natural beauty of the venue to speak for itself, they made sure every detail, from the wildflowers to the honey favors to the bride’s romantic Tara Lauren gown, complemented the natural elements, soft color palette, and laid-back feel. If that wasn’t enough, the couple also provided some of the most delicious looking pastries, coffee, breakfast staples, and Chik-Fil-A mini biscuits for their reception meal! Photographer Britt Crowe truly outdid herself in capturing every single moment of this one-of-a-kind wedding.

The Wedding:

Private Venue, Geyserville, California

We made every effort to keep at the front of our minds why we were doing this: to express our love for each other in front of our dearest friends and family, everything else is second to that. It’s hard to keep a level head when you mess up your manicure and why hasn’t that Etsy shipment arrived yet?! But, at the end of the day, all the planning was just for one day and we would get to be together after that day, no matter what happened. Lucky for us, the day turned out absolutely perfect!

The venue was on the farmhouse property of one of my husband’s relatives. When we saw it, I knew it had to be the place. They have beautiful flowers everywhere with an olive tree grove and horse pasture and gorgeous views of vineyards and hills. It needed no help looking the part of a wedding venue!

Get a wedding planner! Seriously, you might think, “I’m having a small wedding, I don’t need one.” We only had 80 guests at a mostly DIY wedding, and the wedding coordinator was 100% the best decision we made. The day of the wedding is supposed to be wonderful and relaxing and fun for the bride and groom and their families! Let someone else run around and do the last minute stuff!

Because of the nature of the venue, the entire setup and decor were DIY. My favorite projects include our honey jar wedding favors, the floral backdrop, the embossed bags holding the lavender for our exit, and the cornhole games. The biggest DIY was the garlands for the tables; the base garlands, ordered from Costco were greenery only, so my awesome wedding coordinator was up in the early morning on the day of the wedding setting up the tables and adding all the flowers to the garlands! We have an amazing family and incredible people that helped us set up the day before. Seeing everything that we had spent months working on come together made the day so much more exciting!

I wanted the property where we got married to be the main focal point (besides us!) – It’s so beautiful it didn’t need any help! All other decor decisions we made, even my dress, complemented the venue. I also knew I wanted a morning brunch wedding; breakfast food is my absolute favorite and I love the intimacy and comfort that comes with drinking coffee with a friend. Everything else, from the table decor to the signs to the wedding favors, came from these two starting points. The result was a cohesive, intimate setting with a lot of natural elements and, of course, breakfast food.

The whole day was incredible! Thinking back, I really loved our exit. We were leaving the most perfect day to start our new life together and we were surrounded by all of our loved ones – it was just such a joyful moment. Looking back at the pictures, everyone is laughing and happy for us and it felt so good to have the love and support of our friends and family at that moment!
