Melissa and Brian were another one of my “Dream Couples” (Can you tell that I have a lot of couples that I fall in love with… that is why I have the best job in the world!!) They knew exactly what they wanted and they were so trusting to me from the beginning and I think that it created a very fun and personalized wedding!!! One of my favorite trends of the year have been incorporating patterns as a “theme” for a wedding.. and I think this is a great example of how a subtle pattern can really tie together the whole look of the wedding without have TOO Much Theme!!

This time of year we are winding down with coordinating weddings and ramping up on planning weddings!! Its the time of year where I love to see new ideas come together and my favorite part of my job is getting inside the couples head and really trying to personalize their wedding for them. I always say “I don’t want to be just another “pretty” Wedding.. I want this to be reflective of the client, their personalities and their vision!! Take Lauren and Eric for example, they are both wheat traders, Erik grew up on a farm and he gave Lauren a cow as a gift for the engagement.. so as you can see this “theme” fit their personalities perfectly!!
It was so much fun getting to plan Lauren and Erik’s wedding and seeing their vision come to life!!! This makes me so excited for the next few weeks of Lots and Lots of Decor meetings!

I know that I have wrote about Jenna and Jesse’s wedding NUMEROUS times now.. but if you can not tell I love this wedding and I had to share the amazing professional images from Lauren Kirkbride Photography she made an already gorgeous wedding look even better!!! I am BEYOND blessed to work with couples Like Jenna and Jesse and their families! They have a “Can-Do” attitude and when faced with an obstacle they tackled it head on. For example, Jenna LOVED the farm tables and even when they were not locally available she decided she had to have them… SO she found a group of students to make them for their shop project!! Wishing you many, many years of love and happiness!!

We are so excited to share Jenna and Jesse’s Wedding video from the VERY talented Capture Studios! This wedding will always hold a special place in my heart.. not only because of all of the LOVE that Jenna and her mom poured into personalizing this wedding.. but also because it is right by my hometown. It is so fun to get out of the city a few weekends out of the year!!!

There is no secret that we love outdoor weddings and farm weddings! I think that the personalization that is done when a wedding is hosted a the couples home/farm is really what makes the wedding very unique and memorable. This past weekend’s wedding was NO Different.. if you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram you are probably sick of these images.. but I had to share as my email was flooded in the last 2 days with questions on the decor!! I have attached our photos from our lovely iPhones.. but I can not wait to see and share with you the professional photos!!

Thank you so much to Apres, Sadies Floral and most importantly to Jenna, Jesse, Mark and Denise for your hours of hard work dreaming up and assembling so much of the decor elements!!!!
