Beautiful DIY Greensboro Arboretum NC Real Wedding

Will and Fawn chose the beautiful Greensboro Botanical Gardens in North Carolina as a setting for their gorgeous wedding. Fawn’s dress was mermaid style, which fit her like a glove and flowed out perfectly into soft-tiered ruffles. Her hair and makeup looked fresh for the garden wedding – simply beautiful! Her bridesmaids wore short dresses in a vibrant coral pink shade, which complemented Will and his striped tie. Bouquets for the bridesmaids consisted of white roses, while Fawn carried a beautiful bouquet of white and pink flowers, mixed in with greenery.

The couple said their ‘I do’s” outside, surrounded by the lush landscape and romantic gazebo. After the ceremony, guests were treated to an elegant reception. Peaches, which are perfect for a Southern wedding, accented the table that held the wedding cake – a gorgeous white cake with cascading pink flowers. Beverage dispensers offered guests a choice between Pink Lemonade and Sweet Tea, which added a beautiful touch to the reception.

Floral Dress Ideas For Spring a Wedding

The spring season is a beautiful time in which to have a wedding – the weather is fabulous, flowers and greenery are flourishing from the Earth and there are so many options to choose from when it comes to wedding gowns, color palettes and decor. If you want to embrace the season and wear a romantic, feminine gown, then you are in luck – so many gorgeous options are available in virtually every style of dress.

Short gowns are a stunning choice for a fresh, spring wedding. Sweetheart necklines accented with a pop of color and floral patterns create a beautiful alternative to a traditional white gown. These dresses would look amazing in a garden or vintage-inspired wedding! Floor-length gowns, many of which made of voluminous material, look fresh and unique for springtime weddings – especially if you want a nature-inspired ceremony or reception.

If you prefer to keep the gown traditional, add color and pattern into the wedding by choosing floral gowns for your bridesmaids. The color and floral design will pop against your beautiful gown and add visual interest to the decor and photography.

Rustic Garden Wedding in Miami Beach Florida

Cassandra and Chris created a perfect blend of garden wedding mixed with the glamour of Miami Beach. Cassandra looked stunning in her gown – the sweetheart neckline and straps helped create a beautiful cutout in the back, which complemented her perfectly. Cassandra accessorized the gown with a lovely pair of Badgley Mischka heels and colorful bouquet. Her groom, Chris, stayed true to the Miami Beach setting by wearing a three-piece tan suit, sans necktie.

The wedding had beautiful splashes of color throughout – orange, pink and yellow flowers complemented the creams and tans used in the wedding decor. The ceremony took place under a gazebo, and small tree stumps were creatively used as placeholders for the seating cards. Guests were treated to heart-shaped birdseed feeders – what a unique idea! The cake looked stunning and simple, using only a flower as an accent piece and the word ‘love’ instead of a traditional cake topper – a perfect alternative for those who want something different on a wedding cake.

Southern Savannah Ga Wedding at the Mackey House

What comes to mind when you think of a southern themed wedding? Most people would say a farm, a barn or bales of hay. Well, Tori and Josh showed that you can have a down home southern affair by paying attention to details and being creative. They were married at the Mackey House in Savannah, Georgia. Guests were treated to a bird cage decorated with a variety of pictures, a biscuit bar, fried okra and glass bottles of coca cola. It was truly southern fare. They even used vases that resembled milk jugs.

Tori wore a spectacular yet simple ensemble. Her lace dress was convertible. She had straps on during the ceremony but when it was time to party at the reception, it was transformed into a beautiful strapless gown. Her hair was in a simple bun and she wore flowers on the side. Her shoes were ballet styled with ribbons to tie around her ankles. The bridesmaids had nice short strapless dresses. The bouquets and the boutonnieres had the same arrangement of flowers leaning on the aqua and blue color scheme.

Let’s not forget the cake. It fit right in with their theme. It was home made instead of the usual multi-tier cake. Just what you would expect at a southern wedding.

As you can see, you can create the wedding of your dreams. Don’t limit yourself and you will be surprised. The venue does not make the wedding. You do. Don’t take anything for granted and you will have the wedding of your dreams.

Natasha + Graeme Vancouver Canada Real Wedding

This gorgeous couple chose the Brix Restaurant to celebrate their special day, and the venue is a perfect location for the ceremony and reception. Natasha looked radiant in her gown – the dress featured a beautifully fitted lace overlay on the neckline, delicate straps, eye-catching waistline and voluminous skirt in a color that simply complemented her creamy complexion and beautiful updo.

Graeme looked handsome in his suit and blue tie, and the pair looked amazing together. Natasha’s bouquet featured a palette of purple, white and green using different blossoms and textures to keep it interesting.

Her bridesmaids wore short dresses with flattering necklines – and the color worked fabulously with Natasha and her groom.

The venue for the wedding and reception worked so well. Creeping fig vines trailed up the walls to give the space color and an Earthy quality, while accents around the restaurant, such as woodwork, mirrors and lighting contrasted the foliage amazingly.

Guests enjoyed the reception in a room completed with brick walls – which blended urban architecture with the romance of the wedding.
