Real Wedding: Clara and Brandon

Today's real wedding encompasses a lovely vintage fairytale and pure, unrivaled romance. I just love it when couples feel free to be creative with their big day and incorporate many smaller parts that all work together towards the bigger picture. There are so many details about this wedding that make me swoon...here are just a few of my favourites. Be sure to note her cute updo, gorgeous wild garden bouquet, and the honeycomb-inspired cake!

Real Wedding: Viviane and Pedro

The beauty of this wedding is revealed in each of the uncomplicated details. I love the clean, natural colors and their wood signs. Those sunny yellow candlesticks especially caught my eye! Where can I get some of those?! Beautiful setting, beautiful wedding. Happy Monday!

Real Wedding: Erin + Greg

Today's wedding is all about effortless beauty and romance. I love the great, big trees, and the hanging cast iron chandeliers...the way the setting sun gives everything a beautiful, undemanding glow. I think you might fall head over heels with this wedding as much as I have!

Real Wedding: Brittany + Brent

You might remember Jenny and Joel's wedding that we featured in late August. Everyone who I talked to about it had the utmost admiration for it, as did I. Well today I am excited to share with you another of Andy Jackson's beautiful films, and I know that you will fall in love with it as much as I have! Andy wanted to share a brief message with you prior to watching the film...

"Both of these films are approximately 20 minutes in length, and I always try to ask people not to watch my films until they know they can watch all the way through, without interruption. The purpose of my work is to allow the viewer to "feel" the wedding day; to be sucked into the emotions of the day. My hope is that the viewer will experience love, not just as it relates to the wedding or event, but as it relates to every detail and every action that takes place between a couple, their friends, and their families. The wedding itself is just a symbol... without the foundation of love and sincerity that is portrayed, the symbol is meaningless."

Brittany and Brent's wedding took place on the lovely Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.

Real Wedding: Ginny + Ed

I adore this fabulously vintage-inspired wedding, everything was seamlessly integrated into the couple's vision for their special day. Even the guests dressed perfectly for the occasion! I can't get enough of this!
Ginny and Ed are too cute together.

I love how the light seems to glow in this shot of the vintage bridal party dresses!

What a beautiful, happy bride!

Love this photobooth shot!

Real Wedding: Laura + Bobby

When I saw Laura and Bobby's wedding on Erin Hearts Court I ate it all up! The beautiful photos on the beach, the Anthropologie-esque tablescape, the colorful flag banner hanging in the tent...and did you SEE the fun ampersand that sways between the bride and groom's chairs? The decor of the wedding all comes together and just works. I keep seeing burlap table runners and I'm not gonna lie, I think it's a fantastic idea and adds a great element of texture to the table!

Real Wedding: Katie + Justin

I love today's real wedding because it has some very special details, Katie had beautiful wedding day accessories, she wore her mother's vintage jewelry and a hairpiece from LoBoheme. The ringboys are absolutely adorable, and I'm kind of keeping myself from swooning over her stunning wedding band.


What was your vision for your wedding?
The vision was pretty clear. We wanted something super romantic, with a touch of vintage elements, but not overwhelmingly formal. We wanted a garden wedding meets elegant affair, if that makes any sense. We didn't want anything extravagant, but at the same time, we wanted something that was beautiful and classic.

What is your favourite detail?
My favorite detail by far was my dress. I had a dream when I was about 15 years old of what my dress was going to look like. When I saw it in a magazine after recently getting engaged, I knew it was the one! I went to try it on and instantly fell in love.....I found my dream dress......literally! Just to be sure, I tried on several other dresses (to please my mom of course), but I knew all along that my heart was set!
What will you remember most about your wedding day?
The thing I will remember most about the big day is seeing Justin's (my husband) face and the overwhelming emotional feelings he was experiencing as I was walking down the aisle. I've always known this from him, but that single moment, I truly felt loved by him in a way I have never experienced before. That moment will forever be in my heart.

Real Wedding: Jenny + Joel

Where do I begin...Andy Jackson is unbelievably talented at what he does. His films are works of art that convey the depth of love, the quiet moments, and everything that is truly meaningful, the matter that lasts beyond the surface of the day...

Andy wanted to share a brief message with you prior to watching the film...

"Both of these films are approximately 20 minutes in length, and I always try to ask people not to watch my films until they know they can watch all the way through, without interruption. The purpose of my work is to allow the viewer to "feel" the wedding day; to be sucked into the emotions of the day.

The wedding itself is just a symbol... without the foundation of love and sincerity that is portrayed, the symbol is meaningless."

Jenny and Joel got married at the lovely Ritz Carlton in Naples, Florida.
