A vineyard wedding: Jen + Cody

categories Real Weddings

We have the absolute dreamiest wedding to share with you cakelets today! Jen + Cody just packed their Virginia vineyard wedding with all kinds of lovely pink and silver details, like enormous pastel florals, gorgeous old jewelry, some amazing DIY vintage-y programs, a very creative guys & gals goodie bar, and last but not least – a disco ball! (Oh, and hired the perfect photographers to capture their style…SimplyBloom).

Jen is a self-admitted girly girl, so she wanted her wedding to have a very feminine feel to it. And speaking of DIY, Jen did the majority of what you see herself. As she said, “If I didn’t make it or create it, Etsy was my go-to spot.”

Jen DIYed her programs to look like old books. Sooo cute!

We love all the soft, delicate decor – especially when you toss a shimmery disco ball in the mix!

The cutesie, personalized pencils are such a great idea! And don’t those sweets look incredible? Mmmm.

Sugar for the ladies, golf and cigars for the men. And how darling is the cookie table, which has a personal meaning for Jen, as it represents where she grew up outside of Pittsburgh.

Very beautiful, Jen + Cody, wonderful job! Thanks so much for letting us share your big day.

Vendor Spotlight: E. Leigh Photography

categories Sponsored Post, Vendor Spotlight

Good morning good morning! The sweet couple behind E. Leigh Photography probably sum up their style best:

“We are Mat and Erin and we love to tell love stories.”

Such a perfect philosophy for the people who might be capturing your wedding, forever. They believe weddings should be fun, not stressful. Inspired, not cookie cutter. And most certainly not boring.

Their job is to tell an amazing, mind-blowing, weak-in-the-knees love story. Because everyone has one… and all they do (and we’re quoting them here) “is plug-in to your awesomeness and ride the wave all the way in.”

They live in NYC, but have been known to travel far and wide in search of the perfect taco.

Check em’ out (and their blog too). They’re pretty sweet.
