Guys, we’ve got the prettiest wedding to share with you today. Many of you may recognize the incredibly cool warehouse venue from our recent vendor roundup – so now you’ll get to see even more great shots of that unbelievable receipt paper altar piece, the exposed brick, antique walls, and those totally gorgeous sky-high windows. Bethany and her beau Jules did the most superb job putting this downtown Kansas City wedding together in a mere four months. We’re completely in love with the color palette they chose, with so many pretty neutral tones and little pops of yellow and green.
How cute is this shot of them dashing across a street? They look adorable, and we love Jules’ suspenders!
Bethany found that elegant dress off the rack for less than $500 (!) and had it altered to perfection. She chose really cute floral printed bridesmaids dresses and some super lush green bouquets, which look sooo pretty together.
The space, Arts Incubator Event Loft, really does take the cake. It’s almost perfect as-is, but the elements they added – like the crisp white tables and strings of lights on bare tree branches – make it even better.
Bethany was even sweet enough to pass on a little info on how simple the receipt paper backdrop (inspired by something her planners spotted at Anthropologie!) was to make, too. All you need is foam board, a staple gun, and about a billion rolls of receipt paper. The final result is just so soft and beautiful, and compliments the rustic walls so perfectly!
Congrats Bethany & Jules – and thanks for letting us share your uber-beautiful day!

Awesome, awesome, awesome location! I would die to have a reception that looked like that! I love exposed brick, so natural! {Cute couple too}
If I didnt love my own wedding so much, I would say that this is the most perfect wedding I have ever seen! So lovely down to the last little detail.
Very nice wed style
What a lovely lovely wedding! Anyone know where the bridesmaids dresses came from? They’re so adorable I must have one! Or three!
Lovely! Here dress is stunning and the way they decorated the space is absolutely gorgeous – though I imagine it would look terrific no matter how it was decorated! Also love the suspenders and the entire bridal party’s wardrobe – an all around beautiful wedding!
Oh that wedding dress is amazing! I’d love to know where the bride got it…!
WHile reading this I was trying to figure out what comment to write and which part I’d decide was my fave… but it all is. I love her hair, his bow tie, the dress, the shoes, the bridesmaids dresses, the CAKE! the paper thing? now that is something I have never seen though. That is so unique and made me say “wow” outloud. So bravo to that planner they did an AWESOME job!
Thank you all for your kind words!
I found my bridesmaids dresses for $23 at Forever 21. I had a dear friend if mine sew vintage lace to the bottom to add extra love.
I also forgot to give credit to the wonderful Natasha Goellner from Natasha’s Mulberry and Mott who made our sweet cake.

Love the shoes!! Where are they from?
it’s all so sweet and perfect. and the backdrop is heavenly – absolutely adore it.
Each detail was thought out perfectly. I adore the vivid green bridesmaid’s bouquets and their caramel-colored flats, the button-trimmed cake, and I have a feeling this will not be the last receipt paper chandelier we see this year – Katie Kingman | Brilliant Event Planning
Where did she get her beautiful dress? Who makes it? I love love love it!
Hi Mackenzie,

Katie,
I bought my dress at a Brides by Demetrioss Location in Phoenix, AZ.
As the blog mentioned I bought it off the rack for $499, it was a size 12 and I was told it was being discontinued.
It was made by The Dessy Group. This http://www.dessy.com/dresses/wedding/1019/ is the closest thing I can find to my dress. I had neck and back changed to be a scalloped line instead of a straight V. i also had my own bow made and sewn to the dress.
Best of luck!
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful wedding! I LOVE the grooms outfit, and the sparklers as they were leaving… so original!
Amazing!! Am obsessed with that paper backdrop, its so perfect for the space. So original and well thought out all around. Congrats!!!

Thank you thank you, Bethany!! So inspiring!
What an incredible backdrop with the paper. It is stunning! Would love to see how affordable it is!
WOW! I wandered to this site from Betsy White for some inspiration, and instead found this AMAZING venue where I live in OKC! I’m booking it for my wedding! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place!
I love it. All of it. This is my favorite wedding of this whole collection.
I love this venue- it’s so sad that it was just recently shut down! I had friends getting married there and they were notified FOUR days before that it was not up to code. Luckily they found an equally beautiful place for their reception in just a matter of days.
Love this paper backdrop, we’re going to adapt it and use it as well!
very creative and inspiring
