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!

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

Enjoy your engagement, don’t stress too much over the small things. Your wedding day flies by, so take it in, relax, and enjoy! It’s truly one of the happiest days of your life!

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 !
