Real Wedding: Minocqua, Wisconsin

Hello, friends! I hope you all had the happiest of holidays and are excited to begin a new year. There are going to be a lot of changes in this space over the coming months and I am looking forward to sharing them with all of you! But until then, we're back to your regularly scheduled wedding inspiration.

The first wedding of the new year actually took place this past summer, and was shot by the ever fabulous Molly of MThree Studio. Amanda and Curtis were married outdoors near the waters of Minocqua, in a beautiful ceremony filled with emotion. I absolutely love how expressive these two are - you can feel their happiness! And Amanda's necklace is beyond fabulous...be sure to check out the back of it as well. More photos of the ceremony and reception to follow shortly!

Real Wedding Recap: Megan & Tanner

Megan and Tanner translated their style so beautifully into their wedding - its safe to say that I am a little obsessed with the bridesmaids attire! And as usual, Rebekah Westover did such an amazing job photographing the day. The fourth photo below is something I would absolutely put on a canvas and hang on my wall if I were them! Thank you so much for sharing, Rebekah (you can see more photos from the wedding on her blog)

Real Wedding Recap: Natalie & Luke

I've been reading Natalie's blog for a little while now, so naturally I was thrilled when she posted some of her wedding pictures. She and her husband Luke had a charming and beautiful wedding, with such a sense of intimacy. I absolutely love it when you can get such a solid sense what the couple is like through their wedding, and this is certainly one of those instances. There were numerous handmade items, including chocolate mustaches and woodblocked prints (just want to be sure you read that right - chocolate mustaches)! Natalie Jenkins is the talented photographer responsible for these lovely pictures, which you can see more of on both Natalie's blog and her flickr album. The rest of their vendors are listed below:

Wedding Ceremony: Rocheport, Missouri in the yard of White Horse Antiques
Reception: Rocheport City Hall
Catering and Wedding Cake: Uprise Bakery
Flowers: Jeremy Estes of Kent's on Broadway (except for the centerpieces)
Centerpieces: Emma O'Connell, who sells flowers at the local farmer's market
