Brooklyn art museum wedding: Kendel + Adam

categories Real Weddings

This wedding has definitely made us fans of the circular ceremony. When you see and hear from Kendel how special it was to them, and how fun it looks to be completely enveloped by friends & family as you make such intimate vows, you’ll probably feel the same way too. Their unique wedding venue, The Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn was the perfect space for their ceremony and afternoon tea. All it needed was to feel a little warmer, so they brought in a few tissue pom poms, white Christmas lights and plenty of Confetti System garland.

Kendel’s bridal bouquet recipe (gorge, right?): cafe au lait dahlias, roses, juliet garden roses, clematis, blushing bride, andromeda, astilbe, astrantia, dusty miller russian olive, sedum, ranunculus, and jasmine.

We love it when we can tell that the photographer had just as much fun at the wedding as the guests did. It’s evident in the photos, plus it’s always great when the photographer shares a few words on how much they loved capturing the wedding. Such is the case with Amber Vickery. Here’s what she had to say about this charming vintage inspired soiree…

Everything about Ashley and Josh’s beautiful wedding at Mercury Hall in Austin, Texas made me swoon. From Ashley’s beautiful 40′s style hair do and her vintage lace wedding gown, to the beautiful florals and succulents and home made desserts. Everything was so perfect. Denise Harlan of Thee Design Wedding and Events did such a superb job. Most of all, I just loved capturing the love between these two. Their happiness is pretty contagious – I couldn’t stop smiling while editing this wedding.

Ashley didn’t carry a bouquet because she knew that her aunt gives all the brides in the family a handkerchief before walking down the aisle, so she held that while her bridesmaids held bouquets with blush garden roses, dusty miller, seeded eucalyptus and baby finger succulents wrapped in burlap and twine.

Liz + Dara are a playful bunch. They’re also nature lovers and spend a lot of time outdoors, so it seemed natural to plan an outdoor wedding. Their wedding venue, the historical Oak Tree Manor, could not have been more perfect. Wait until you see the oak tree they got married under! Liz wasn’t sure how lawn games, whimsical details like coke bottle escort cards, or vintage decor would all come together, but the outcome was prettier than she could have ever imagined.

Rustic Florida wedding: Danielle + Andre

categories Real Weddings

These two lovebirds worked out a beautiful wedding with a tight budget by DIYing a list of things from planning and designing, hair and makeup, to the florals, invitations and all paper goods. It was a true labor of love. And so was finding the perfect outdoor wedding venue. They wanted something that would lend itself to their rustic, laid back style, but finding that in Miami was close to impossible. Close to giving up, they followed a tip from Katie at Unearthed Vintage and visited Greynolds Park. It was beautiful, rough around the edges and you could tell the place had soul. The overgrown surroundings, sparkling lagoon, and stony buildings were just perfect.

Adding to all the pretty is Dixie + Shawna’s wedding, captured by Mustard Seed Organic Photography.
