\"Understated-and-Natural-Elings-Park-Wedding<\/p>\n

Gorgeous mountain views, bright yellow florals, and ivory colored bridesmaid gowns made up Ashley and Avery’s simply bright wedding at The South Bluffs in Elings Park<\/a>! Event planner, and groom’s sister, Whitney Hardin<\/a> ensured that the big day was absolutely perfect for the couple. We love the views and simple decor at the ceremony. And, best of all, photographer Mollie Crutcher<\/a> didn’t miss a single moment capturing incredible photos of the excited couple!<\/p>\n

The Inspiration:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We pulled inspiration from everywhere, I was on Pinterest constantly. We didn’t exactly choose a theme, but rather just went with what we liked. It was simple, clean, minimal. Our officiant, Braydon, was a good friend, and the only other person in the room when Ave and I met, it seemed fitting. Avery<\/span> and I worked really hard, and had our hands in every step of the process. We thankfully had his sister, Whitney, a wedding planner to help along the way and had her assistant coordinate the day of. As far as fashion went, I wanted my gals in cream. I wasn’t keen on bright colored dresses, or any color for that matter, neutral is more my style. My dress was by Maggie Sottero, it was white, cream, silver and gold…not flashy, but subtle. Avery<\/span> wore a grey Hugo Boss jacket to set himself apart. He really just gave his guys guidelines but let them choose. I did the same with my girls. <\/em>The one thing I knew I wanted incorporated was succulents. I just love how beautiful, strong and resilient they are; a symbol of our marriage.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Moments:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Avery:<\/span> My favorite moment was when we were standing on top of a mountain, the ocean to one side of us, and all of our friends and family to the other. I was surrounded by everything I have ever loved – family, friends, my home town, and Ashley<\/span>. It was a once in a lifetime moment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ashley: My favorite moment was at the end of the night, we took a limo home and sat on our front porch reminiscing about the entire day and how it could not have gone better. We worked really hard for that one day and it went off without a hitch. <\/em><\/p>\n
