This purple rustic chic wedding that I have for you all today is just loaded with fabulous images! But I expect nothing less than fabulous when Captured Photography By Jenny is the one photographing! With deep purples paired with a rustic style and chic details, this is an absolutely gorgeous wedding! The adorable bride, Tracie, is here to share her wedding planning insight with us too! Enjoy!
What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day?
My venue was fabulous. Cross Creek Ranch helped out in every way, shape, and form. Someone was there from day 1 to answer my questions and help me decide on “my look”. I knew what I wanted from the beginning. I actually had made a scrap book with all my inspirational photos that I brought with me to every meeting . I was able to easily show them all my photos I had collected and organized. They made my photos and my ideas come to life before my eyes. Not only was my planner great, but my coordinator was equally fabulous. Being a stage manager I am very meticulous, and she made the day turn out flawless for me.
What was the most important thing to you when deciding who to work with for your wedding?
For me, I believe it was a matter of feeling important. I wanted them to be as excited as I was. My husband and I looked at a couple different places but our vendors we settled on, were the ones who made us feel honored. They made me feel like a bride and him like a groom! They made us feel like our day was special and that they would do everything in their power to make it perfect.
Did any of your vendors do anything special for you before, on, or after your wedding day that you would like to share?
Oh my gosh, I get excited just thinking about it all. First my caterer showed up to my wedding rehearsal with white roses to congratulate me and my husband. Cross Creek Ranch gave us champagne glasses to use & keep to remember the day by. Not to mention, about a week ago we got a box from them with a big white blanket inside. Our names and wedding date were on the blanket… we had no idea it was even coming!!!
What was your favorite thing about your wedding?
EVERYTHING! (I am sure this is such the typical answer.) Honestly, the horse & carriage was unreal and made the experience even more surreal then it was. Looking at my husband who was watching the carriage come in, seeing his eyes fill with tears in the beauty of the moment was my favorite part by far!
What is your best piece of advice for other brides?
Take some time with your new husband before everybody arrives or before the reception. Everything happens in the blink of an eye. Talk about what just happened (or what will happen) and enjoy your love for each other. Nothing will ever feel as pure as that moment! It will be a moment to remember for a lifetime.
Aw, I totally 100% agree with Tracie’s advice. That’s one of the things that I regret about my own wedding day- that my husband and I didn’t really have a chance to just be alone and soak up the moment. Thank you for sharing with us Tracie! And a big thank you to Captured Photography By Jenny for being so amazing and getting such great shots!
I’m really loving the combined styles of rustic and chic, aren’t you? I think my favorite detail will have to be the tables though- the lace overlays, the cool centerpieces, and the table numbers! Everything about the table is awesome! What’s your favorite part of this rustic chic wedding? Will any of you be having a similar style of wedding?
