Our Favorite Weddings of 2017 on Junebug Weddings | Part One

December 13, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

With the end of the year just around the corner (can you believe it!), we thought it would be fun to round up some of our favorite weddings of 2017. Whether it be the way the couple’s story was captured, the way they infused their personal style into to their decor choices, or a combination of both, these are the weddings we returned to again and again for inspiration this year.

Autumn and Michael’s Race + Religious Wedding that Takes Fun and Stylish to the Next Level

Where it took place: Race + Religious, New Orleans, Louisiana

Why we love it: No inch of Autumn and Michael’s Race + Religious wedding went un-decorated, and the whole celebration was decorated to the nines, at that! Pink never look as good as its use in this vibrant New Orleans wedding, including dip-dyed napkins, feminine florals, and even the bride’s edgy hair.

Taylor and Noah’s Barefoot Seaside Sunset Cliffs Wedding in San Diego

Where it took place: Sunset Cliffs, San Diego, California

Why we love it: Is there anything better than a barefoot bride and groom? We love this cliffside ceremony, Taylor’s gorgeous mismatched bridesmaids’ style, Noah’s trendy-meets-beachy groomswear, and Jonnie & Garrett‘s breathtaking portraits of the newlyweds!

Cas and Zack’s Modern Romantic Western Australia Wedding at The Flour Factory

Where it took place: St. Michael The Archangel Chapel & The Flour Factory, Perth, Australia

Why we love it: Modern romance was one of our favorite wedding styles this year and nobody nailed it better than Cas and Zack in their Flour Factory wedding. The red-headed Aussie couple were absolutely dashing in their wedding day looks and we’re still not over their unique use of florals, wine-colors, and greenery. Plus, just check out that “cheese cake!”

Lauren and Kendrian’s Elegant Black and White Phoenix Desert Wedding

Where it took place: Trinity Cathedral & Events on Jackson, Phoenix, Arizona

Why we love it: Lauren and Kendrian’s Phoenix wedding has a little bit of everything: a deeply emotional ceremony, urban wedding party portraits, cool desert vibes, an elegant black and white color palette, and a bridal leather jacket. This couple proves that all you need for an elegant-cool wedding are a few well-curated details and a lot of love.

Casie and Peter’s Boho Tulum Destination Wedding at Ak’iin Beach Club

Where it took place: Ak’iin Beach Club, Tulum, Mexico

Why we love it: Looking at Casie and Peter’s boho destination wedding is like taking a mini Tulum vacation of your own! We’re obsessed with the beachy neutral color palette throughout this wedding, punctuated with bright pops of color thanks to a few papaya, blue glassware, and a few lush peonies in Casie’s bouquet.

Janine and Ian’s Dreamy Botanical Woodson Ridge Farms Wedding

Where it took place: Woodson Ridge Farms, Oxford, Mississippi

Why we love it: 2017 was a big year for big florals, and it doesn’t get bigger than the botanica display at Janine and Ian’s Woodson Ridge Farms wedding! From the actual flower farm venue to Janine’s fiery bouquet to the next-level florals used to make the epic ceremony arch, flowers played almost as major a role as Janine and Ian’s adorable love for one another.

Klinta and Roberts’ Plant Lovers’ Wedding at K. K. fon Stricka Villa

Where it took place: K. K. fon Stricka villa, Riga, Latvia

Why we love it: We’re major plant lovers here at Junebug (though some of us are better than keeping them alive than others!), so of course we’re big fans of the styling in Klinta and Roberts’ K. K. fon Stricka Villa wedding. From potted plants as table decor to an eclectic blend of natural and edgy decor, this couple committed to their wedding look from ceiling to floor.

Edgy Eclectic Summit Farm Wedding Overlooking Springer Mountain

December 13, 2017 | Junebug Weddings

There’s nothing rustic about this Summit Farm wedding. With bohemian decor and edgy vibes, Tracy and David put a spin on their eclectic outdoor wedding. Traveling back to where they take their annual trip to ride their motorcycles, they had a handful of family and friends (and their dog, too!) join them for an intimate wedding setting. Tracy is killing it in a long sleeve boho Rue de Seine dress paired with a customized leather jacket and studded white boots – honestly, we’re obsessed. Sarah Joy Photo joined in the day’s festivities and perfectly captured Tracy and David’s love and personality.

The Couple:

Tracy and David

The Wedding:

Summit Farm, Ellijay, Georgia

SHOP THE POST

 

When Sarah took my accessories to photograph them, David took a minute to write a message to me on the bottom of my shoes, it was such a sweet gesture and made me feel so loved.

Having a background in fashion design, I knew exactly which designer I wanted for my dress! I chose a gorgeous Rue De Siene boho dress, with long draping sleeves, and sheer lace at the bottom to add balance. I felt so beautiful and comfortable all night! 

The wedding party picked their own attire! For the bridesmaids, we wanted neutral colors that flowed well with each other, and for the groomsmen we had them chose a gray suit of any shade. When they all came together it told a beautiful color story.

We knew we wanted a mountain wedding with a lot of natural beauty and amazing views, as soon as we pulled up to the venue we were in awe. The venue overlooks Springer Mountain, the start of the Appalachian Trail!

We incorporated some of our heritage by doing traditional Celtic hand fasting ceremony during our wedding. We literally ‘tied the knot.’

Our favorite photo is the one of the whole wedding party (dog included!) Our friends traveled from all over the country to be with us that day, and to have them all in one photo, means the world to us! 

We’ve been traveling from Florida to Ellijay every year since we started dating to ride our motorcycles, which is why we chose a destination wedding in the mountains of Georgia. It was most important to us to get married in a place that would hold a lot of memories for us and that we can keep coming back to year after year! When we come next year, we’ll get to ride as husband and wife!

Sarah was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable and relaxed! It was easy to laugh and have fun with her! And not to mention, her style is impeccable

We wanted our wedding to be a reflection of us, eclectic and edgy, but most importantly relaxed and easy-going.

The most memorable part of our wedding day was during the reception, when we were able to take a minute outside and take in the beauty of the day surrounded by our closest friends, and our course, our dog!

Here are a few words from Pack Up + Go about the experience they provide:

“We work to distribute the socioeconomic benefits of U.S. tourism among small and mid-sized cities, while encouraging travelers to experience places they may not seek out organically. American travelers often limit their destinations to a few major metropolitan areas, missing out on all the diverse experiences awaiting them in other cities from coast to coast. We challenge the status quo to make domestic travel exciting and unique.”
