Real Wedding: Brianne and Zachary
categories: Cakes and Sweets, fabulous reception sites, Floral Inspiration, For Your Ceremony, Real Weddings, Reception ideas, Wedding Inspiration

To say that Brianne is an excited newlywed is an understatement- she’s vivacious, sweet and bursting with happiness! Brianne definitely had ideas about her wedding and as you will see, it all came together beautifully. Her attention to detail and the efforts of her family and Zachary’s family are evident at every turn.

Brianne tells us about the monogram inside her dress: The patch in my dress is from my middle sister to serve as a reminder that while I am marrying the man of my dreams to always remember where I came from, stay true to myself and remember that my family will always love me

One of Brianne’s favorite details from the day is her custom aisle runner from Cycling4aCure on Etsy- I like how each design element has an undeniable feeling of Fall, my favorite time of the year!

 

Brianne and Zachary’s fathers worked on the trellis together and Brianne’s dad made the wooden heart. This will eventually be placed in Brianne and Zachary’s backyard to serve as a reminder of their special day- what a sweet touch.

More details from Brianne: For the placecards my florist made a tree out of willowbranches then I made different color leaves to hang from the tree that had our guests’ names and table numbers on them. For the guest sign in, our photographer made a book with all of our engagement pictures and on each page it had a question about us for our guests to answer instead of just signing their names. 

For the envelopes our guests gave us as gifts, I made a three tiered box that looked like a cake to put the envelopes in with the colors of our wedding. Our cake was something that hadn’t been done before by our cake lady. I thought of the concept of a pumpkin cake and each pumpkin was a different flavor. The largest pumpkin was a spice flavor, the second was chocolate and the top almond. The cake was three- tiered and each pumpkin sat on a clear plastic base to better showcase the cake. Each pumpkin had handmade sugar flowers on top so it looked like one of the two centerpieces.

We had two different centerpieces; one was willow branches with orange orchids and candles hanging from them in a wooden square box with moss at the base. The second centerpiece were live pumpkins that were spray painted gold and had flowers coming out of the top, the pumpkins sat on the same box as the other centerpieces.

We had a custom drink that was purple in color and as an accent it had a sugar rim around the top of the cup and an edible rice paper leaf as an accent floating in the drink to continue the tree/fall theme.

Isn’t this such a pretty wedding? Brianne definitely has a passion for weddings!

Real Wedding: Rebecca and Michael

Today’s Real Wedding introduces Rebecca and Michael who bravely planned their Tucson wedding from Florida- that’s 2000 miles away! Rebecca sagely advises engaged couples  to “not sweat the small details and try to make the wedding a personal ceremony that friends and family will remember. Above all, try to relax and enjoy your day!” 

Spring in Arizona is decidely the most lovely time of year here and Rebecca chose to highlight the gorgeous surroundings of the Arizona Inn by using bright and airy florals throughout her day.

Sweet Flower Girl and Ring Bearer!

I love the look on Rebecca’s face during the first look:

 

 

The historic Arizona Inn is a pretty venue that offers green landscapes, mature trees and interesting niches for photos.

 

Dinner sounds scrumptious: filet mignon, lobster, mashed potatoes and asparagus followed by white chocolate cupcakes from Maribelle Cakery and Patisserie. Yum!

After the wedding, the couple headed to St. Lucia for some much needed R&R in the sun. Rebecca scuba dived for the first time and had a blast!

Now that Rebecca is married, she tells us that her favorite thing about being married is coming home and making dinner with Michael. They are enjoying each other’s company and reveling in their newlywed status, as it should be!

Congratulations Rebecca and Michael and Thank You for sharing your special day with us!
