A 1950's Style Elopement

Elopements are usually associate with a couple getting married without their family's consent.  But, it doesn't always have to be such a scandalous reason...

Perhaps the couple wants a private, no frills ceremony with just the two of them or maybe they don't have the extra cash to splurge on a wedding.  No matter the reason, it does not mean the couple can't dress up and have a little fun (think Carrie & Big in the Sex & the City movie).  You don't have to have the big wedding and fancy reception to dress up.  It's your day, have fun and do what makes you happy!

And that's just what Julie & Geoff did with their Asheville elopement.  They decide to elope (with two good friends in tow) dressed to the nines in 50's style garb.  It was a super sweet and elegant affair!

Cheers!

Congratulations to Julie & Geoff!

A Barefoot Seaside Wedding

Relaxed.  Happy. Comfortable.  Love.

All the ways I would love my wedding day to be described.  And today I have just that kind of wedding to share with you.  This Swedish couple got married on Faroe Islands in the Baltic Sea.  Even with the threats of rain, they had a lovely wedding barefoot and all.  You can tell from the pictures they are so happy and relaxed.  The perfect emotions for a wedding day.

They look so in love!

Congrats to Anna & Leif!

[Real Wedding] - Maureen & Dave's Sunflower Wedding

I am kind of obsessed with this wedding that we have to share with you today.  It is chock-full of sunflowers and even more sunflowers.  (which you all are probably aware that I love by now..)

This wedding is just so happy and the couple has such an amazing story: Mo & Dave always joke that you really can find the love of your life at a bar! They are both CPAs and met through mutual friends at a Hairbangers Ball Concert. Dave and Mo have never been able to pin point the exact moment that they realized they had found "the one," but she knew that they were going to be together forever when they had only been together for one year when Mo was diagnosed with breast cancer and turned to Dave. He told her that they were going to get through all of it because they still had so much to accomplish together, too many things that still needed to be done and too many people that still needed their help.They loved their wedding traditional Catholic ceremony mass at a picture perfect spot in Indianapolis. They love when Mo walked down the aisle with her dad, saying their vows to each other and then walking back down the aisle. Every day as newlyweds, they feel closer and more in love with each other. Mo knows with every piece of her that they are true partners and will make it through anything that comes their way, just as they have in past!

About the wedding: Maureen & Dave had a remarkable wedding celebration at a few breath-taking Indianapolis, Indiana locations. The Indianapolis skyline view from the Conrad Hotel was picture perfect. The locations were gorgeous ones that people usually only dream about and especially lovely accented by the beautiful yellow sunflowers!

Gorgeous backdrop!

Congrats Maureen & Dave!
