Handmade Canadian wedding: Beth + Mark

categories Real Weddings

Handmade Canadian wedding | 100 Layer Cake

Sometimes a wedding is just delightful. It’s laid back, there’s a sense of community from all the friends & family, the flowers are simple but fitting, and when all else fails an inordinate amount of bunting makes for adorable decor. Obviously having such an adorable and loving couple with a bride in her mothers wedding dress – perfection! Sharalee Prang photographed Beth + Mark’s wedding and said the sweetest thing: There were moments I felt as if the bride and groom might just float away, they were so happy.

How sweet is the back of her dress and her maiden braid? Such a simple and sweet updo for your wedding day.

Intimate restaurant elopement inspiration

Intimate restaurant elopement | 100 Layer Cake

Since the ladies of Persnickety Events & To Love Photographie have an affinity for intimate weddings and quaint restaurants, they decided to collaborate on a styled elopement shoot. Living in Miami, they know firsthand how chock full of restaurants it is and how stylish and savvy to cater to elopers they would be. They went with the eclectic mix of industrial and Mediterranean furnishings and courtyard of Soyka. Ornate chandeliers, wooden frames, a cornucopia of candelabras, every cracked piece of plaster there is intentional and adds to its overall charm. For budget conscious couples, a venue like this is perfect because minimal decor is needed.

Urban Santa Fe desert Wedding: Sabrina + John

categories Real Weddings

Urban Santa Fe desert wedding | 100 Layer Cake

Apparently Sabrina + John loved being engaged so much that an entire a year passed before they even lifted a finger to start planning. They just didn’t know what they wanted. Neither of them had even visited Santa Fe, New Mexico, but they knew they wanted a destination wedding and the lure of something entirely unexpected was enough for them. Wedding Coordinator & Designer, Jessie Baca coined their wedding style as modern meets mountain desert and that’s exactly what it was, modern yet still lighthearted and playful.

Sabrina had told her florist that she wanted a bridal bouquet was “asymmetrical and unrestrained” and the result was spot on. Sabrina fell in love with her bouquet made of an air plant, succulents, scabiosa pods, purple dahlias, burgundy scabiosa and jasmine vine.
