This Overlook Barn Wedding Was Full of Unique Floral Arrangements

January 16, 2024 | justine

When Cassie and Garrett got engaged, they didn’t like the idea of a barn wedding because it didn’t match their style. However, the moment they laid eyes on their venue, they realized that an Overlook Barn wedding was perfect for them. They aimed for a warm and inviting atmosphere on their big day, focusing on planning just that. With the Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop, everything came together effortlessly—nothing too formal, lots of bright colors, and, most importantly, quality time with their favorite people in a beautiful location.

They couldn’t have picked a better spot for their wedding. The vast views and boundless sky took center stage in their meadow ceremony. After exchanging sweet “I dos,” they moved to a barn reception adorned with cascading florals above charming tablescapes. String lights overhead tied everything together, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

If you’re searching for a lovely barn wedding inspiration, your quest ends here. We assure you that these beautiful images–skillfully captured by Junebug member Jacqueline Davison–will find a place on your wedding mood board. So take a moment and keep scrolling.

Beyond Maid of Honor: How The Bride’s Sister’s Design Magic on Wedding Stationery Stood Out

My incredibly talented sister and maid of honor designed our wedding invitations for us and all the other stationary for the day. It was so special and came out so beautifully that some of our guests asked her if she’d do theirs, too!

Crafting a Personalized Ceremony for Their Overlook Barn Wedding

A close childhood friend of Garrett’s married us, which was exceptional. He did a fantastic job and made our ceremony feel personal and authentic. We wrote our vows together based on what we each hoped our marriage and relationship would look like over the years to come, and we also included a portion in the ceremony where we shared “words of affection” for each other. It was so special to share all the reasons we love each other in front of our nearest and dearest. We wanted our ceremony to be very personal and romantic and then for the rest of the night to be a huge party. It’s part of why we wrote our own vows to make that moment intimate but then did a swing dance to “Hallelujah, I Love Her So” by Ray Charles instead of a slow song for our first dance to kick off the rest of the night and the dancing.

Prioritizing Love Over Details for a Stress-Free Day

Do as much as you can do, as early as you can do it–you will thank yourself later. Weddings are a lot of moving parts. But ultimately, it’s about you marrying your person and all (or a lot of) your favorite people being there to celebrate. We tried to remind ourselves that as long as we ended the day as husband and wife and had our people there to celebrate with us, the rest of the details were outstanding. Still, they don’t matter all that much. And it helped keep us focused on enjoying the whole process and not making it more stressful than needed. Our advice to future couples: plan ahead, prioritize what truly matters to you, and keep the focus on the love you’re celebrating. The details will fall into place. But the joy of marrying your person and having your loved ones around is what truly makes the day special.

Reflecting on Their Overlook Barn Wedding Highlights

Garrett: For me, the most memorable moment was Cassie walking down the aisle. Seeing how beautiful she was was a perfect moment and just surreal. It felt like my whole life was walking down the aisle.
Cassie: Walking into the reception as husband and wife was an insane moment that took me off guard. I had not expected the wave of emotions that would bring. The high that we were both on coming off of the ceremony. Combined with the realization that every person there was someone we loved so dearly who had taken the time to be there and surround us with love on that day. It was an unbelievable feeling. Between him on my arm and all these people so genuinely happy for us. It was the most loved I’ve ever felt.

This Desert Harbor Retreat Elopement Was Inspired by the New Mexico Desert

January 15, 2024 | justine

Imagine a beautiful, secluded location with stunning views of desert mountains—the kind of setting that makes love feel even more special. Samantha and McCall experienced just that after a rainy and muddy wild full moon wedding with friends and family in Georgia. They decided to escape for a quiet, romantic, and adventurous time, just the two of them. With the support of their fantastic team of vendors, they successfully pulled off a Desert Harbor Retreat elopement. Inspired by the New Mexico Desert come true, it turned out exactly as they envisioned.

Beneath a geometric arch that beautifully framed the grand mountains in the backdrop, the couple declared their love. Following the ceremony, they ventured into the desert, feeling the soft sands beneath their bare feet. They climbed the rocky terrain in their elopement attire and drove through the enchanting desert landscape in a vintage British Land Rover.

If intimate and dreamy desert vibes are your thing, get ready to be blown away. Their special day was brimming with emotional moments and panoramic desert views, all of which Junebug member Shutterfreek captured beautifully. Take a moment to scroll down to see what we mean.

Desert Harbor Retreat, Sandia Park, New Mexico, United States

How They Landed on a Desert Harbor Retreat Elopement After a Bigger Wedding Celebration

After a very wet and muddy wild full moon wedding celebration with our friends and family in Georgia, we wanted to sneak away for something quiet, intimate, romantic, and adventurous just for the two of us. Our outfits, florals, venue, and decor were minimalist, with burnt oranges and neutrals. We adventured in the desert barefoot, climbed up the rocky landscape in our elopement outfits, and Sam drove us through the dreamy desert sands in a vintage British Land Rover that Desert Harbor Retreat had on-site.

Simplified and Stress-Free Budgeting With a Focus on Talented Vendors

We took a minimalist approach to our budget, given we gathered friends and family. Most of our budget went to the pre-gathering of our friends and family. Desert Harbor Retreat offers straightforward elopement packages with preferred vendors, making our budgeting easy and stress-free. Our budget was $15,000, including a three-night stay, our food and beverage for the weekend, and all our vendors. We splurged on an incredible serenade from a talented flamenco guitarist and a one-of-a-kind photographer and videographer to capture the magic of our marriage.

How Desert Harbor Nailed Every Detail of Their Elopement

Desert Harbor Retreat fully executed our vision. The full service, privacy, intimacy, and genuine kindness of the family running the venue were all reasons we knew Desert Harbor was meant for us. They handled every aspect of our elopement weekend with a laid-back yet thorough demeanor anyone would want on their wedding day. The ease and simplicity of it all were most memorable—just the two of us, with no true timeline and no stresses or worries. Just us and our love. And the expansive, warm, and welcoming desert to act as the container of our eternal love for that special day. It’s easy to get swept away in a grand celebration. We both wanted to feel deeply connected to nature. Like we were the only two people on the planet that day.

Florals Took This Little Nell Wedding To A Whole New Level

January 6, 2024 | justine

Linh and Chris decided to tie the knot on the slopes. This adventurous decision was inspired by their shared love for skiing during their early dating days. Aspen, where their first adventure unfolded, was the natural choice. With the help of their vendor team, the enchantment of their Little Nell wedding was taken to new heights with florals that transformed the celebration into something truly exceptional.

The couple instantly fell in love with the idea of a mountaintop ceremony at 11,212 feet, surrounded by the scenic beauty of trees, puffy clouds, snow-capped mountains, a gentle breeze, and the soothing sound of rustling leaves. Walking down the aisle on that mountain was a dream come true for the pair, with the path adorned with flowers leading to an arch that framed the mountains. They switched things up with the reception but kept the enchantment alive with hanging glass baubles, adding a special touch to the elegant tablescape of beautiful, low, lush blooms.

If you’re into elegant mountain celebrations and dreamy floral wonderlands, you definitely don’t want to miss this. Beautifully captured by Laura Murray, the whole story is waiting for you—just keep scrolling!

The Wedding:

The Little Nell, Colorado, United States

Bringing Their Little Nell Wedding Vision to Life With the Help of Trusted Vendors

In terms of style, vibe, and design, I wanted something elegant, modern, and romantic. I was drawn to the color pale blue at that time. From there, I worked with our planner, photographer, and floral designer to develop the complete design. They proposed some inspirational designs, and I made the final decision. I put my trust in my team, and they were able to put together a final product that fit our personalities and vision as a couple.

A Majestic Moment: Saying “I Do” at 11,212 Feet

The day’s most memorable part was the wedding ceremony at the top of Aspen Mountain at 11,212 feet above sea level. The view from walking down the aisle on that mountaintop was just spectacular—the backdrop with the trees, the puffy clouds, the snow-capped mountain, the breeze, and the sound of the rustling leaves was so surreal and majestic. I remember my wedding planner reminding me to take in the moment I get down to the end of the aisle, which was super helpful!

Embracing Their Vision with Their Trusted Wedding Team

Our advice: After saying yes to the engagement ring, begin interviewing wedding planners and photographers. Work with the A team, mainly focusing on these top three teams: the planner, the photographer, and the floral designer. It’s crucial to establish chemistry with all of them because they are the ones who bring your vision to life and provide inspiration where needed. Don’t compromise on quality when it comes to people. Second, have a clear opinion on your vision, but be flexible and leverage the team’s expertise and style. The bonus of all collaboration is that they become your friends after your wedding because, in my case, they are such incredible women! Another tip I’d offer is to involve your future spouse in planning, even if they say you can pick everything! And lastly, it’s all about location, location, location.

Elevating Their Little Nell Wedding Through Floral Design and the Wedding Menu

The floral design and reception menu were most important to me. Flower design elevates any space because it provides visual and feeling effects. The quality of food is essential to me. I live to eat and not eat to live. I wanted my wedding guests to remember the dining experience and not just the ceremony.

Timeless All-White Villa Podernovo Destination Wedding

January 2, 2024 | justine

Ellie and Patrick dreamt of a beautiful wedding escape, which came true when they found the enchanting Villa Podernovo. This special place immediately won them over with its irresistible charm, becoming the perfect setting for their big day. They wanted a wedding that showed who they were, with a calm and easygoing vibe in the countryside, surrounded by nature and their loved ones. With all the ingredients of a timeless celebration—a classic color palette, lush florals, and chic fashion–their dream Villa Podernovo destination wedding turned out just the way they wanted, making all their wishes come true and more.

The couple envisioned a quintessential Tuscan wedding with a stunning backdrop of rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards. Their outdoor ceremony, framed by beautiful ground arrangements, turned into a heartfelt moment as they exchanged vows, officiated by Junebug member Tuscan Pledges. The festivities continued with a charming garden reception, where a long table was adorned with a lavish display of flowers, greenery, and candles, all beneath the warm glow of twinkling lights.

On their special day, the couple seamlessly combined timeless elegance with their unique personal touch, creating a celebration that reflected the best of both worlds. Luckily, Aleisha Edwards was there to skillfully capture every beautiful detail and memorable moment of their enchanting soiree. Keep scrolling to relive the beauty and charm of their wedding day.

The Wedding:

Villa Podernovo, Tuscany, Italy

The Evolution of a Dream Dress From Pinterest to Reality and Complementing It with the Perfect Natural Bridal Look

My wedding dress was custom-made by Darb Bridal Couture in Brisbane, Australia. I always wanted a halter neck dress, which is hard to come by. I took some inspiration from other dresses on Pinterest and the floral style we chose for the ceremony. We nipped and tucked as we went along to perfect the shape and floral placement. Once the dress was complete, I knew I didn’t want a second dress. I loved it so much and wanted to wear it the entire wedding day. Again, I wanted it to complement the venue and wedding style. I wanted my hair and makeup to be as natural as possible, to look like myself and not too glamorous. My sister helped with both. It made the morning very stress-free. Going back to basics was key.

From Down Under to Tuscan Bliss: How They Brought to Life Their Villa Podernovo Destination Wedding

We wanted something that felt authentic to us. We are both from the country in Australia, so we wanted something surrounded by nature with a rustic charm. Something peaceful and relaxing as most guests were enjoying their traveling holiday. Villa Podernovo was that and so much more. It was also the right size for our 25 guests—16 stayed in the villa, and an accessible area to other vendors. The owners and coordinators were also fantastic. We needed to work with people we related to and trusted, as we did all the planning via video calls and email. Once we had locked in our venue, the overall vibe and style of the wedding became quite clear. Villa Podernovo was not only a beautiful venue, but it was also full of character and charm. We wanted everything to compliment it, so we opted for a classic, neutral style with a little Tuscan country feel. As we traveled to Italy from Australia, we wanted to ensure everything felt authentic to Italy.

A Week of Wedding Bliss at Villa Podernovo

We had 25 people in total, andour immediate family stayed in the villa for a week, while other friends were stayed in Monticiano, which is a 500m walk. We hosted our welcome dinner, wedding, and pool day recovery at the villa, which was so much fun. It felt like our home for the week. We also toured the area, including seeing local wineries, villages, and thermal baths. There was so much for our guests to do in the area. We celebrated our wedding over the entire week instead of just one day. We have so many unforgettable memories, not just from our wedding day but all the activities we were able to do together.

Navigating from Afar: The Importance of a Wedding Coordinator

Invest in a wedding coordinator if you are traveling a long way to a different country. We used Villa Podernovo‘s on-site coordination and were not disappointed. We could only see the venue after we arrived due to the distance from Australia, so having someone help coordinate vendors was terrific, especially when it came to language barriers. It made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free.

Creating a Homey Italian Feel with Family-Style Dining

We decided on a family-style set wedding menu. This was because we wanted a variety of traditional Tuscan meals to get that authentic Italian feel. It was also lovely to pass food around the table—to feel like you’re at home sharing with those you love the most. The table setting was so beautiful. The food was outstanding! Sitting under the lights, on a table lined with candles and flowers, with the villa lit in the background, was magical. We shared it with our immediate family and some of our closest friends. Everyone laughed and cried over speeches and shared funny stories of their travels. It was also a time when we could all sit together, relax, and truly enjoy our surroundings.

Unbelievably Whimsical Chicago Garden Backyard Wedding

December 28, 2023 | justine

Nestled within a lush oak forest surrounded by blooming wildflowers, Peyton and Todd knew that the ideal wedding venue was right in their backyard—literally! Choosing the bride’s family property in Chicago, the couple orchestrated a whimsical garden wedding packed with personality and a whole lot of flowers.  It was an unforgettable celebration that surpassed all expectations, turning their dream wedding into a beautiful reality.

The natural beauty of their front yard set the stage for a breathtaking ceremony. The porch became a romantic altar, wrapped in wildflowers and greenery, creating an intimate space for the pair to exchange vows. When it came to the reception, a clear tent offered a spectacular view of the surrounding forest. The tables were adorned with an elegant touch of gold accents, a mix of towering and low arrangements of garden blooms, and candles. To enhance the dreamy ambiance, the couple added string lights above the outdoor setting, adding a touch of magic to the celebration.

Overflowing with fairytale charm, this garden soiree is a love story in full bloom. Trust us when we say you won’t want to miss a single moment captured by Melody Joy. Keep scrolling to discover the enchanting details that make this celebration truly magical.

The Couple:

Peyton + Todd

The Wedding:

Chicago, Illinois, USA

Choosing the Perfect Dress Long Before the Ring

I had two dresses for the wedding. The ceremony dress was bought in 2019, two years before we got engaged and three years before the wedding. I had always known I wanted to get married at my parent’s house, and it was the first and only dress I had seen that felt like it fit the environment perfectly. It was a two-piece set by Grace Loves Lace made from silk. I hate being in anything tight or uncomfortable, so this super comfy dress was an automatic plus for me. The veil for the dress felt very traditional, and I thought I was honoring my Nana and our Italian heritage. I wore a vintage pearl and wood choker, and my good friend, Molly of Barbara Parker Fine Jewelry, not only designed my engagement and wedding ring but designed all of the other jewelry I wore for the wedding, including the diamond and pearl earrings and the pearl bracelet set. I changed into a Rasario mini dress and Jimmy Choo pumps for the reception. I also switched chokers for the after-party, also made by Barbara Parker Fine Jewelry.

How Their Whimsical Chicago Garden Backyard Wedding Came To Be

My dream had always been to get married at my parent’s home in the forest. I hadn’t ever really imagined my wedding any other way. The natural surroundings of the area honestly inspired me. It was important to me that everything felt natural and like it had always been there. All the flowers chosen for the wedding were natural wildflowers that would bloom in mid-September. The tent was entirely clear, and the forest trees outside it were illuminated so that it genuinely felt like you were eating and dancing in an oak forest. It boils down to the natural beauty of the area that inspired me!

Heartfelt Vows and Stepping Outside Their Comfort Zones 

One of my favorite wedding day memories was the ceremony. I had not wanted to make public vows. I’m very private, and I was very nervous about the thought of saying my vows in front of everyone. Todd, on the other hand, loved the idea of doing vows. We did it, and I am so happy I went out of my comfort zone and did it. It made for one of my favorite memories of the day—with the dogs wandering around for the entire ceremony.

Hogwarts-Inspired Dining Hall Vibe and Mixology Magic

The table settings were a fun detail. We wanted three long tables as if you were in the dining hall at Hogwarts, and everything on the tables was different. We had mismatched candelabras, vases, and flowers on all the tables, and it came together perfectly. Another detail was that it was essential for us to have a great bar program. We wanted guests to feel as if they were at a restaurant and that the bar just happened to be in the middle of the street. The bar program was absolutely perfect. The bartenders were shaking Martinis and stirring old fashions on site, and it was a detail that we were super happy with. 

Personalizing Their Wedding Menu with Their Favorite Indian Food

Todd and I love Indian food. I had spent time in India studying Indian food, so it had always been a favorite of mine. When it came to picking the menu, Jane at Entertaining Company went above and beyond, even coming over to our house to try some of our recipes so that we could perfect the dishes served. Our planner had the incredible idea of making the menus round and having them on the chargers.

Mom’s Homemade Coconut Wedding Cake For Their Garden Backyard Wedding

The most special wedding detail was that my mom made our wedding cake. Both Todd and I love my mom’s coconut cake. She made it every year for my birthday and turned it into a tiered, absolutely gorgeous wedding cake. It was the best wedding cake I’ve ever tasted, and it was such a unique and unforgettable detail of our special day.

This Romantic Sandon Hall Wedding is Straight Out of a Fairytale

December 27, 2023 | justine

When Susan and Jean Claude discovered their dream wedding venue, it was an instant “it’s the one” moment. They set their eyes on the place, and it was like finding the missing puzzle piece. The connection was so strong, giving the couple dreamy vibes similar to those in Bridgerton–a show the bride absolutely adores. Without a second thought, they signed on the dotted line and never looked back.  Their Sandon Hall wedding was like stepping into a real-life fairytale, filled with timeless elements. This romantic celebration had everything they could wish for and more.

The couple’s vision was seamlessly brought to life by a team of experts, ensuring flawless execution, with the Neo-Jacobean mansion setting the perfect stage for their grand day. For the garden ceremony, minimal decor was needed amidst the manicured grounds, offering a naturally enchanting backdrop overlooking the countryside and rolling hills. Stepping into the library for the reception, the ornate space was beautifully complemented with elegant tablescapes of low centerpieces and flickering taper candles.

If you dream of having a storybook celebration that mirrors your unique style as a couple, let this Sandon Hall wedding be your source of inspiration. Junebug members Evi & Jo beautifully captured every magical moment of this breathtaking day, and we’re excited to share it all with you right here.

The Couple:

Susan + Jean Claude

The Wedding:

Sandon Hall, Sandon, Stafford

Timeless “Less Is More” Bridal Style

For my wedding day look, I was all about keeping it sleek and simple. I chose a plain satin dress with zero frills because I love that clean elegance. For my makeup, I went for the ‘less is more’ approach—just really natural and fuss-free. I just wanted to feel like myself but on a perfect day.

The Moment the Bride Knew They Had to Have a Sandon Hall Wedding

Wow, the first time I saw Sandon Hall, it gave me those dreamy Bridgerton feels. And I’m not kidding when I say I’m head over heels for that show. Picture this: I’m in the Netherlands, endlessly scrolling for UK venues because that’s where my other half is from. I saw some pretty spots online, but nothing hit home until Sandon Hall popped up. I saw the photos, and bam! I could practically hear the wedding bells. It was like I could see our whole day unfolding there. And when we finally checked it out in person? Major goosebumps. It was so clear this was our place. We barely waited two minutes before saying, “Yep, this is it. We’re getting married here.” It just felt right

A Personal and Emotional Ceremony Led By a Family Friend

The most unforgettable bit of the day? It’s got to be the ceremony. It was so emotional—there wasn’t a dry eye in the audience, including myself, and everyone was talking about it after. We made our ceremony super personal by having a family friend of my husband’s officiate, Revd Dr Alycia Timmis. She is very close and dear to our family, so it felt special and heartfelt. The whole vibe was intimate and emotional, like we were in the best hands for one of the biggest moments of our lives. 

Advice From the Couple to Manage Wedding Planning Stress

I went full-on solo with the planning and didn’t have a point person for the big day–which, looking back, was kind of like walking a tightrope without a net. So, tip number one: get yourself a go-to buddy for any day of drama. And tip number two, as corny as it sounds: seriously, soak up every second. I mean, savor those moments like your favorite dessert because the day zips by at lightning speed.

Bringing Their Dream Celebration to Life With the Help of Exceptional Vendors

Each vendor involved in our wedding truly exceeded our expectations. We were incredibly fortunate to collaborate with such a skilled and dedicated group of professionals who contributed immensely to the success of our day. Working with Evi & Jo was like a dream come true. They are the most loving people you will ever meet. They were incredible. Not only did they nail their photo and videography duties, but they also went above and beyond helping out with stuff that wasn’t their job. It was like they could read my mind—they just got what I wanted without me having to say a word. I highly recommend them; their work is absolutely stunning.

Kicking Back and Enjoying the Festivities

Right after we tied the knot, snapped pics, and made it through dinner when all the formal stuff was out of the way, something extraordinary happened. That’s when our sax player started doing his thing, and the cocktails began flowing. I can’t even describe that feeling. All the stress from planning the wedding for almost two years just melted away. I could finally kick back, soak it all up, and dance my heart out.

Black and Gold Moody Kualoa Ranch Wedding

December 4, 2023 | justine

Darrick and James selected Hawaii as their wedding destination, finding it to be the perfect midpoint between their hometowns in Australia and New York. Their decision was solidified when they discovered their stunning venue with its epic mountain backdrop. In planning their Kualoa Ranch wedding, they focused on reflecting their personal styles,  drawing inspiration from the colors and themes prominent in their apartment and photography work. Opting for a combination of dark and moody wood tones–highlighted by contrasting dark and gilded accents and adorned with lush greenery and white florals–they crafted a vision that felt uniquely theirs. Fortunately, their team of vendors grasped this vision and exceeded expectations by going above and beyond to bring it all to life.

The beginning of the couple’s special day was marked by heartfelt “I do’s” shared amid nature and with their closest loved ones. Enhancing the breathtaking surroundings, they adorned the space with a unique display of greenery pillars, creating a beautiful frame around the mountain views. As touching as these moments were, the couple aimed to surpass them with their tented reception. They welcomed guests to the celebration with long banquet-style tables awaited, adorned with elegant black and gold settings and a warm glow from numerous candles.

The two grooms made a beautiful and inviting setting to enjoy and soak in all the special moments together. They mixed in parts of their traditions thoughtfully, showing off their personalities. To see more, take a look at these incredible photos by Keani Bakula and enjoy all the details of their lush and romantic celebration.

The Couple:

Darrick and James

The Wedding:

Kualoa Ranch, Hawaii, United States

The Story Behind Their Kualoa Ranch Wedding

We chose Hawaii because it is the midpoint between Australia and New York, where we are from. We also knew we wanted something other than a beach or hotel wedding, which further narrowed down venue options. When we saw the photos of Kualoa Ranch and the epic mountain backdrop, we were sold. How could we pass on an opportunity to get married where Jurassic Park was filmed? This was a more complex venue as everything from the chairs and utensils to the tent and bathrooms had to be brought in, but we had confidence knowing that our planner was a seasoned professional who had planned many weddings at that spot.

Infusing Hawaiian Flair and Their Moody Personalities Into Their Wedding Design 

We wanted the wedding to reflect our styles. Drawing upon colors and themes we like to use in our apartment and photography. We settled on dark and moody wood tones, contrasting gold and black accents, and lush greenery with white orchids. To embrace our wedding destination, we mixed custom Hawaiian motifs subtly in our stationery and asked our florist to incorporate tropical greenery into her design. Finally, we used a mix of candles and different styles of chandeliers to create a warm but elevated atmosphere for the guests after the sun went down.

Intentional Moments to Soak and Enjoy Their Kualoa Ranch Wedding

We snuck away from dinner for a few minutes to spend time with one another and fully take in the evening and our surroundings. Seeing the moon rising over the majestic Kualoa mountain range was surreal. As we looked back at our guests and the wedding tent lit up. We are glad we made a conscious effort to stay present throughout the wedding day and cherish the moment together as a couple. The evening flew by so quickly, but we’ll always have these special memories to think back on.

Advice: Hire Help From Professional Vendors (Especially Wedding Planners)

First, hire a wedding planner if your budget allows for it. Given our venue’s complexity and carte blanche nature, it would have been impossible to plan this wedding on our own. Our rockstar planner Angelica had a lot of experience with this venue. And brought up things we would have needed to consider. Like where to position the tent vs. the ceremony set-up to maximize views, number of generators required, etc. Second, trust your wedding planner and your vendors. They know what they are doing and have great advice from the other weddings they have worked on before. Finally, feel free to have open conversations with your wedding team about what you really want and use your vision and their experience to create something unique for you as a couple.

Boarding Passes and Hand-Written Notes: Personalized Moments at Their Wedding

We’re proud that our wedding felt authentic to both our personalities. We skipped traditions or customs that did not resonate with us and focused instead on injecting our personalities and stories into the details throughout the day. We had a lot of fun with this part. For instance, because James is a pilot, we created boarding passes for the escort cards and used airport codes for table numbers. We also had personalized notes on the boarding passes to thank guests for coming to Hawaii to celebrate our wedding.

Crafting a Personal Soundtrack That Defined Their Wedding Moments

Music is a big part of our relationship, and we have many artists that we love listening to together, such as Rufus Du Sol and Odesza. We carefully picked songs for big moments throughout the night (e.g., champagne pour, ceremony recessional). And it felt like we were living in a movie with our soundtrack. In addition, our DJ Toshi of Spectrum Entertainment created a lit dance floor by mixing in songs and artists that we love while also playing crowd-pleasers that had people out of their seats.

Choosing a bold color scheme is an excellent move if you want your wedding to stand out. Keep in mind that bold doesn’t always have to be bright. Using deep, moody tones like black is a unique and daring way to make your wedding distinctive.

Whimsical Yet Edgy Wish Well House Wedding

December 2, 2023 | justine

Megan and CJ stayed true to themselves every step of their wedding planning journey, from picking out flowers to enjoying tacos for dinner. They aimed for a celebration that captured both a whimsical and edgy vibe while maintaining a timeless feel. With the help of their vendors, their vision for a Wish Well House wedding exceeded their expectations. The considerable time and effort invested in creating a memorable experience for their cherished guests proved to be worthwhile. After all, these are their favorite people, and they naturally wanted them to have the best time possible!

The courtyard ceremony was all about simplicity, with just two floral pillars framing the couple as they exchanged their vows. However, the real enchantment unfolded at the reception. Maintaining a sleek atmosphere, they embraced a tablescape adorned with low floral clusters, purple taper candles, and touches of black accents, adding an unexpected edge to the romantic ambiance. To elevate the scene further, an overhead greenery installation tied everything together seamlessly.

The pair put a lot of thought into every little detail, and it paid off. If you dream of a classic wedding with a personal touch and a dash of edge, you should check out this couple’s celebration. Maddison Kennedy did an excellent job capturing every moment, so take a look and enjoy the beauty of their special day!

The Couple:

Megan and CJ

The Wedding:

Wish Well House, Texas, United States

A Journey of Five Wedding Dresses

I tried on five wedding dresses—all vastly different from each other. I had no idea what I wanted until it happened. After I found the dress, it all fell into place from there. I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for when shopping for sleeves, so I reached out to House of Deane, and she brought my vision to life! I wanted something classic with some drama and flair, and my custom sleeves precisely did that.

Celebrating Love with Their Favorite People

From the groom, he says, getting to watch me walk down the aisle takes the cake for him. Overall, this is the first and last time that we will have that many of our favorite people all in one place at one time, and that was something we did not take for granted. It was important to us to soak in this time with our loved ones and try to take intentional pauses to be present with one another and with our guests. It is special to be so well-loved that many people show up to celebrate you.

Focus on You Two: Best Wedding Advice

Our most significant advice is that at the end of the day, your wedding is about the two of you. It is easy to get swept up and overwhelmed by the influence and opinions of those around you. Often, it is hard to set that aside and remember what the two of you want. It was important to us to honor and respect the people that we are and what we wanted. You want to be able to step back and look at your big day and feel like it is you that you see in all of the details.

Creating a Guest-Centric Wish Well House Wedding Day

CJ and I pride ourselves on the experience we can give our guests. A lot of time and effort went into the experience we tried to create. These are our favorite people, and of course, we want them to have the best time> From the live guest painter, the photo booth, and the cocktails we selected, we kept our guests in mind at every turn while still sticking to what we wanted from our big day.

Letting the Venue Speak: Their Wish Well Wedding Story

We wanted a venue that was able to speak for itself. You can tell the amount of time and care put into Wish Well House—from the tile to the textures, the wallpaper, and even the appliances in the getting-ready suites. Having an outdoor wedding in Texas, it was essential to find somewhere that we loved the rain plan just as much as the original one, and for us, Wish Well had it all.

Personalized Ceremony Melodies for This Wish Well House Wedding

For the ceremony, we talked to the DJ about playing instrumental covers of all our early 2000s favorite songs (think lots of Blink 182 and Mayday Parade). The groom said it was so fun watching the guests realize what song was being played and then start nodding along to the song. Additionally, one of my childhood best friends was our flower man and truly stole the show! Another one of our friends was our officiant, and it felt so special to have so many people we knew and loved involved in the ceremony.

Unconventional Tokens of Love: T-Shirt Toss and Dog Treat Favors

For wedding favors, we took a non-traditional route. We ditched the bouquet/garter toss and opted for a t-shirt toss. The t-shirts have a picture of the groom and me on them, and still, to this day, people send us pictures of them wearing them out and about, and we get giddy over it every time. Additionally, we had dog treat bags for people to take home to their pups as a nod to our dog Morgan who was not physically present but present in many of the small details (dog treat favors, a mini figure of her on our wedding cake, her picture at the bar). Our friends and family will love Morgan, and we must incorporate a bit of her into our day.

Personal Touches from Save the Dates to Signage

I DIY’d the save-the-dates, invitations, wedding programs, and signage for the wedding. They were created mainly in Canva and printed through Zola, except for the envelope liners and programs printed at Office Depot. As for signage, I designed the signage, but my mom helped in bringing it all to life for me. My dad built the frame for our seating chart, and my mom took care of everyone’s names.

This Villa Orlando Wedding Was a Fairytale Come to Life

November 27, 2023 | justine

Right from the start, Aiko and David were determined to make their dream wedding come true. Combining the bride’s love for Victorian fashion and a stunning historic venue in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, they created a fairytale affair like no other. Their main aim was to throw a magical celebration, and they absolutely nailed it! With stunning florals, timeless decor, show stopping fashion, and unforgettable entertainment, their Villa Orlando wedding came to life thanks to their trusted team of experts.

Transforming the villa’s waterfront garden for the ceremony, the pair added an extra touch of magic by adorning the aisle with lush blooms and floral pillars. Against the backdrop of the picturesque lake, the scene was set for a truly romantic “I do” moment. The garden reception was equally enchanting, with tables filled with flowers, candles, and elegant gold accents beneath sparkling crystal chandeliers. The night’s highlight came as the couple cut the cake amid a display of firework fountains, followed by a night of dancing.

If you’re aiming for a wedding filled with timeless romance, look no further for inspiration. Fortunately, the beauty of this exquisite day was expertly captured by Junebug member Hakuna Matata. Keep scrolling to see every luxurious detail of this stunning celebration.

The Couple:

Aiko and David

The Wedding:

Villa Orlando, Tuscany, Italy

How Their Timeless Villa Orlando Wedding Came to Life

Our wedding in Tuscany perfectly blended timeless romance and enchanting beauty at Villa Orlando, a historic venue by a serene lake. The pastel colors added a touch of refined elegance, while the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside created an organic and enchanting ambiance. Every detail, from the floral arrangements to the hanging chandeliers, contributed to the fairytale vibe. We chose our wedding venue because of its captivating historical charm, breathtaking lake view, and classic and elegant Victorian-style ambiance, perfectly matching the romantic atmosphere we envisioned for our special day.

A Teary-Eyed Groom Made the Perfect Birthday Present

The most unforgettable part of the wedding day was when I saw him at the altar, his eyes glistening with tears. At that moment, it dawned on me that my dreams had genuinely come true. And marrying him was the greatest birthday gift I could ever ask for.

Wedding Advice for a Calm and Collected Celebration

Our advice is to begin planning early. This means organizing things well ahead of time. Like finding the place you want, choosing the people who will help, and picking the dates. Doing this early gives you more choices and makes things less stressful.

A Wedding Day Full of Emotions and Heartfelt Moments 

What made our wedding special wasn’t just the beautiful decor and the picturesque setting but the profound emotions and genuine connections that filled the entire day. The tearful vows, heartfelt moments, and the overwhelming love and support from our friends created an atmosphere of warmth. These authentic moments are what we cherish most and will forever hold dear in our hearts.

How They Balanced Beauty and Budget for Their Villa Orlando Wedding

We decided to create a memorable celebration to ensure our wedding truly reflected our vision and values. Initially budgeted at 30k Euro, we realized that achieving our dream fairytale wedding within this limit wasn’t possible, so we increased the budget to 60k Euro, allocating 11k+ Euro for enchanting floral arrangements. This ensured that every element of our magical day could be as beautiful as we had imagined. However, we decided not to spend much on the cake.

A Victorian-Inspired Villa Orlando Wedding Look

My love for Victorian style inspired my wedding fashion, and I chose a stunning princess-style dress that was the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. Adorned with intricate lace and delicate brooches, the dress exuded elegance. I wore a long beaded veil with matching brooches to complement it, creating a romantic aura. My accessories, including an off-white brooch necklace, added sophistication, enhancing the overall Victorian aesthetic I admired. Opting for an elegant updo hairstyle, I aimed to draw attention to the beauty of my long beaded veil. Keeping my makeup fresh and natural, I wanted to enhance my natural beauty on this special day.

The Unforgettable Blend of Wedding and Birthday Bliss

During the celebration, they surprised me by singing the “Happy Birthday” song and presenting a beautifully adorned cake. This touching gesture turned my wedding day into the best birthday ever. Adding an extra layer of joy and meaning to the already special occasion.
