Haley and Matt Cathedral Wedding

Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?

Our wedding day was everything we could have imagined and more! It was super laid back, we were surrounded by people we love.

We wanted neutral colors and added a pop of color through the bouquets, which I was obsessed with! No set theme, we just wanted a classic, beautiful wedding and reception, and I think we achieved that.

Let’s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?

We had a huge metal building with nothing but tables and chairs, so all of the decorations, hanging lights, backdrops, etc. were put up with help from our family and friends the day before the wedding. It was a lot of work, but it turned out beautiful! We’re incredibly thankful to have people around us who were more than willing to help make our day amazing.

Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look?

Since we started dating and speaking of our future wedding, Matthew knew he wanted navy blue suits, which I loved! It was a classic look, we were very pleased with the guys suits.

My dress was exactly what I envisioned for my wedding gown. The lace, the modern details, it was just stunning.

As far as bridesmaids dresses go, I really wanted to stay very neutral, and the color we picked, “biscotti” was so beautiful, I adored them so much. The were simple and elegant, everything I could have wanted!

What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?

The most special moment of our wedding days was definitely when we were facing each other and reciting the vows to one another. Placing the rings on each others finger was a moment I know we will never forget!

Karli and Peter South Louisiana Sunset Wedding

Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?

My wedding day color palette was more Nudes & neutrals. Being that it was an outside wedding, I didn’t want to have too much color since leaves are changing.

Let’s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?

My reception was very simple, just brown & gold decorations. No theme was really set in stone. Wherever I saw brown & gold decorations, I picked it up. I knew that when the day came, I’d throw it all together & make it work.

Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, guest entertainment etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?

The only thing I made sure to personalize for the day was the card box. I knew I wanted a wooden box, so I decided to engrave our last name on the box to pass down to other family members. My favorite part of the day for sure was our first dance. It was when I really realized that I had FINALLY married the love of my life.

Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look?

When choosing my dress, I knew I wanted sleeves. So that’s exactly what I got ! As for my husband, we both agreed that a suit would be too hot. So we thought it would be cute to make a classic look with suspenders & a bow tie.

What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?

The most special moment of my wedding day was when my mom gifted me with a charm for my bouquet. He passed on a couple years back & she surprised me with it right before I walked down the isle. It was a very sweet moment.

Make sure to practice your big first kiss for pictures ! Now I know it may sound silly, but it makes a difference knowing exactly how you should hold each other so that the picture comes out perfectly !

Heather and Tyler Navarre Beach Wedding

Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day? Did you have a specific theme, style or color palette?

Our wedding day was perfect in every way. It was very relaxed and I had a "go with the flow" mindset. I was not stressed out in any way and everything was beautiful.

We got married on the beach at Navarre Marine Park, and the weather could not have been better. I didn't have any style or theme because I knew that no matter how little or how much we decorated, the day would be beautiful no matter what. We had a stunning ceremony, amazing reception, and having my beautiful family and friends there to celebrate with us made the day so much more special.

Let’s talk wedding decor. How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?

We did not have very much decor being that the beach house we rented was stunning in itself.

We made the centerpieces for the tables, my grandmother prepared all the food and margaritas herself, and my twin sister did my hair and makeup which was so special to me.

Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, guest entertainment etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?

My favorite part of our wedding ceremony was the sand ceremony and the rock toss at the end. Having all of our family and friends meet us at the shoreline and toss stones into the ocean with well wishes is something I will never forget.

I also loved how after the first dances were over, Tyler and I got to go to the third story deck for our first dinner as a married couple. We watched the sun set, we ate, and we laughed together discussing how perfect the night was going.

Let’s talk fashion. How did you both choose your wedding day look?

I chose my dress over two years before we got married. Actually, two weeks after I purchased my dress I found out I was pregnant! I was so nervous leading up to the wedding that it wouldn't look right, fit me, etc. However, it was the perfect dress for me and I loved it!

Tyler was very go with the flow, I recommended the linen shirt and khakis since it was on the beach and he was all for it!

What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?

My most anticipated moment on our wedding day was seeing Tyler at the end of the isle, I was most excited to see his reaction.

Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you’d like to share with other couples planning their day?

The best advice I can offer to couples on their wedding day is to truly relax and try not to stress about anything. No matter how much you stress about certain things, it is going to happen the way its supposed to. Have a positive mindset from the moment you wake up and let yourself truly enjoy your day!
