What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
We really wanted a venue that was unique, had character and could fit our 300 person guest list. Everything at Fountain Square Theatre from the overall vintage vibe, to the balcony for cocktail hour to the marquis to announce our event really made the venue one of a kind and set the tone for our wedding day.
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
My three favorite details were the flowers, my dress (can I wear it again somewhere?!) and our beautiful photos that help me relive the wedding day everyday.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can’t stop thinking about.
My favorite moment was when the DJ really got the reception kicked off and we could dance and have fun with our family and friends. We can honestly say we had a blast at our wedding!
Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
Only three? All the DIY stuff was an obvious choice, we’re a little partial. Our take on northern and southern details and the things I wore were our favorites also. My groom built our cake dock to match our coastal theme, and it was so incredible. He and my dad found all the driftwood for our arch and then they built it…so special!
We assembled everything to match our coastal theme with nautical rope and our monogram. Our top favorites had to be the eight knot boutonnieres, mini faux docks that we used for the table names, and our escort cards that were a mini message in a bottle. My aunts, sisters, dad’s girlfriend, and bridesmaids helped me do everything. Since we both lost our mothers before we were engaged, the time these ladies spent with me meant more than they will ever know.Everything was a labor of love, and it was awesome to see it all come together.
All the little things we did that were a northern and southern touch were also a favorite. Since I grew up in a real small, southern town, and my groom straight from the big apple, we wanted to express that in our style and food. Ahi tuna, spanakopita, and shrimp and grits were a few foods on our menu; we used southern mason jars instead of vases for centerpieces and our antique bottles were all from New York City.
My something borrowed, blue, and old was also a favorite. I wore my childhood best friend and matron of honor’s veil, our names and wedding date were embroidered in blue under a ruffle in my dress, and I wore our late mothers’ jewelry: my mother’s engagement ring and my mother-in-law’s bracelet, it was very meaningful to have a piece of them with us that day. We were completely surrounded by sentimental details everywhere on our wedding day.
Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can’t stop thinking about.
Um, the whole day? Gosh, being surrounded by everyone we love was a feeling impossible to put into words. The surprise dance with my dad was priceless, but for just one moment, it was when the doors opened and we saw each other the first time. My groom was set on us not seeing each other before the wedding, not even for a first look, and I’m so glad he was. There was nothing like that door opening, looking straight down the aisle directly to him. He had the sweetest, proudest look on his face, and I had a perm-a-grin. It was a moment we will never forget.
Before we head out for the Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to share this colorful, summer, winery style shoot sent to us by Larsen’s Photography and Quintana Events!
The green, orange, and blue color palette is truly stunning. And how Quintana Events pulled everything together makes this set-up quite magical. It helps that the location was at the beautiful Jacuzzi Family Winery.
If you’re decorating a table this weekend, consider using bold, vibrant florals for your centerpieces, like the ones in these photos. And if you’re not throwing any big party and just relaxing, enjoy yourself and have a Happy Memorial Day! xo
Swoon-worthy only begins to describe how much I love this style shoot. Not only is it using THE color of the year, Tangerine Tango, but the setting is stunning and romantic. The color palette is a direct compliment to the red stone mountains and arid landscape. The florals combined with white china and vases create a whimsical modern look I just love! Couple all of that together with a fabulous seating area for cocktails, a circular ceremony, and a beautiful couple – done! Love love love! A special thanks to Gideon Photography for sharing!
It’s February! This month we will be showcasing lots of pink and red. I apologize ahead of time, but truly, I love this month of love. Although, every month here at WeddingWire is the month of love. We celebrate love everyday! Ok, on to our inspiration, which is full of pink! Happy #WeddingWednesday!
