Olga and Chris’ Free-Spirited Sauvie Island Wedding

Where it took place: Sauvie Island, Portland, Oregon

Why we love it: It will be years before we forget Olga and Chris’ free-spirited wedding thanks to its punchy color palette and casual-cool details. Olga’s bridesmaids rocked short white dresses while Chris’ groomsmen looked like true rockers in their denim jackets and floral ties. We know you loved this wedding too because it’s one of our absolute most-popular posts of the whole year!

Béatrice and Alex’s Minimalist Bohemian Montreal Wedding at Studio Éloi

Where it took place: Studio Éloi, Montreal, Canada

Why we love it: We referred to Béatrice and Alex’s wedding again and again this year when looking for inspiration for creating a cozy reception from the ground up. This pair married in a blank-slate studio space that they transformed with beautifully-curated furnishings, hanging macramé, and a neutral color palette. It doesn’t hurt that this bride and groom are the coolest couple on the block!

Alissa and Michael’s Emotional Portland Wedding that Took Place at the Bride’s Childhood Home

Where it took place: Private Residence, Portland, Oregon

Why we love it: We’re all about emotion-driven celebrations and none got us right in the feels quite like Alissa and Michael’s wedding at the bride’s childhood home. As soon as the bride and groom shared their “first touch” around a door, we knew we needed a full box of tissues to get through the rest of the heartfelt moments in this wedding!

Why we love it: Naomi and Bryan filled their day with so many elegantly unexpected details that it’s hard to choose a favorite!

Jenelle and Johnny’s Moody Fairy Tale Wedding in Southlake, Texas

Where it took place: Private residence, Southlake, Texas

Why we love it: Jenelle and Johnny turned your traditional fairytale wedding on its head with their glorious moody celebration. The purple color palette was ahead of its time (hello, 2018 color of the year!) and was seemingly inspired by the subtle lavender tint to the bride’s mega-gorgeous Hayley Paige gown. From florals to bridesmaids’ fashion, it’s safe to say we’re obsessed!

Dreamers & Lovers’ New Etheria Collection is Every Bohemian Bride’s Dream

December 20, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

photos by Sam Landreth Photography

Is there anything more exciting than the release of a new bridal collection? If you answered yes, then you haven’t yet seen the new Etheria collection by Dreamers & Lovers. The Los Angeles-based designer, known for their simple bohemian signature gowns, has done it again with a wildly beautiful collection. Etheria features luxurious lace, silk, and cotton gowns in a variety of flattering silhouettes that manage to be both form-fitting and unrestrictive.

Here’s what the designer had to say about the creation of Etheria:

Etheria is about touching the intangible and telling the secrets of love, with a wisp of lace that catches air the way he catches your soul; with a dress that expresses more than just your sense of style; with a laid-back dress that expresses what you’re feeling in a vision, which words cannot describe.

In the spirit of Dreamers & Lovers, we’ve stayed true to our bohemian roots by incorporating only the softest truest, most luxuriant lace. Cotton, silk, sumptuous but supple; form fitting but easy to wear and with no detail spared in the synergy of aesthetic harmony and physical comfort.

If you’ve been searching for the perfect boho dress for your dream wedding, Etheria has exactly what you’re looking for.

Brazilian Bohemian Wedding at Villa Mandacaru

December 20, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

Marianna and Pedro’s wedding at Villa Mandacaru is the sweetest thing you’ll see. Seriously, their dessert table is goals – it is full of treats from Bom Balaio and bohemian florals designed by Barbara Decora. Marianna is wearing a dreamy Monica Linz wedding dress with the most perfect lace detail, and Pedro is looking dapper in his Zara attire. Their crochet alter was made by Marianna’s mother and it was the perfect statement piece to fully encompass the bohemian vibe. Vic Bonvicini Photography captured so many wonderful details and moments throughout Marianna and Pedro’s wedding day.

The Couple:

Marianna and Pedro

The Wedding:

Villa Mandacaru, Brazil

Be calm, everything is going be okay! I know that some days we look for everything and it feels like that some things wont work, but they will! So breathe and be strong – the big day will be amazing!

SHOP THE POST

 

We DIY’d a lot! My mom made the crochet alter, we painted all the gold bottles to put on the tables, I made all the cakes and candies with some friends and relatives help.

The most memorable part was absolutely seeing all our friends and family that we love at the same place. There was people from everywhere… Rio, São Paulo, Brasilia, EUA, Canadá… it was amazing! Everyone left their homes to see us get married!

Victoria was AMAZING! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera! She was so happy for us and we were so happy to have her there – nothing could be better! The photos are really breathtaking and beautiful, just like the day!

We chose the colors to combine with our boho wedding style – burgundy, green, red, and pink.

Our favorite photo was the departure – this photo translates everything that everyone was felling in the moment.
