Kayla and Thomas met while they were both attending Clemson University. She said mentioned to her friend that she wanted to know more about him, so the pair were set up on a “blind date”. They had so much in common that they’ve been together ever since, and they celebrated on their South Carolina wedding day, which Kayla’s sweet mom says was the “wedding her only child ever dreamed of”. LOVE, y’all!

It’s safe to see how their wedding could have turned into the ultimate dream day at the Younts Center at Furman University. The pair had an abundance of gorgeous florals designed by Simple Stems. I’m obsessed with the bridesmaids’ ribbon bouquets, which blew beautifully during their portrait session with Kayla! Their blush, ivory, and green palette filled the church too, and the beauty continued into their reception space. Her JLM Couture dress fit the day perfectly, and I’ve officially found my favorite groom’s look – Thomas wore a classic black suit, but his bowtie and pocket square had polka dots! I could keep going, but K+T’s wedding day feels like a gorgeous garden come to life. You simply must take a peek at all of the photos Jennifer Stuart Photography captured!

Fall down the rabbit hole with us for today’s Alice in Wonderland inspired wedding ideas from Linden Clover. With rich jewel tone hues and playful details, this shoot is all whimsy. Cheery patterns add to the fun, especially in the amazing invitation suite. The ornate detailing is so unique, particularly the mirror (or should we say looking glass?) design! An iron work gazebo houses one of our favorite details: a delectable donut tower! Cake is delicious, but donuts are definitely more fun and a great alternative for those who aren’t big cake lovers.

Amanda and Tyler’s Alabama wedding was a beautifully organic event that incorporated so many elements that were special to them. Both the bride and groom enjoy being outdoors and nature walks, so their stunning ceremony site, overlooking Monte Sano Mountain, was the absolute perfect choice for them. They incorporated lots of personal touches in their wedding ceremony, including a hand-tying ceremony, the bride’s grandmothers as the “flower ladies”, and the groom’s grandfather as the ring bearer (such a great idea!). During the reception, guests enjoyed dinner and dessert in the Monte Sano Lodge. The outdoors was brought inside beautifully, incorporating decor floral chandeliers, greenery, stems of flowers, candles, and moss. The day flowed perfectly thanks to Kathleen Bernal Events, and we truly love how Amanda and Tyler’s day reflected them through and through- we can’t wait for you to see the images captured by Mary Margaret Smith Photography!

What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day?

My mom and Pinterest! We spent countless hours scrolling and getting inspiration and my mom was truly amazing in making the vision come to life. Her extremely hard work, organization, and attention to detail are truly what made the day come together perfectly.

What was the most important thing to you when deciding who to work with for your wedding?

My goal was to make the day as stress free as possible for everyone involved. Most of the vendors we chose had already been involved in my sister’s or my friends’ weddings so I knew their work and didn’t have to worry about what the results would be.

What was your inspiration for your wedding details and/or design?

Our venue was a mountain lodge on state park grounds so that was definitely the inspiration. I wanted to bring the outdoors in for the dinner and play up the mountain setting but still keep everything very romantic.

Today’s romantic, european inspired wedding ideas are absolutely breathtaking. You see, wedding planner Cassie of Flaire Weddings has a love affair with all things European (and we’re certainly not complaining). She adores traveling to France and after her last visit, she wanted to produce an inspiration shoot that showcased a European, organic aesthetic for brides in the US.

Naturally, she started by turning to the Epping Forest Yacht Club, an Italianate mansion in Jacksonville, Florida- the ideal location for this inspiration. Next she enlisted photographer Carissa of The Graceful Light to photograph the shoot using 35mm film. Cassie crafted lush florals that incorporated tones of pale pinks and ivories, and used blooms such as David Austin Garden roses, Japanese Pieris and spray roses to convey a European look and feel. Hand lettered place cards on marble tiles adorned the placesettings atop a grey velvet linen, draping the table in a nod to European royalty of a bygone era.

We love how this inspiration demonstrates that it’s possible to achieve the chateau or villa look without traveling “across the pond” and we can’t wait for you to take in all of the beauty!
