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.

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

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 !
