This week’s Wedding Wednesday is probably nothing you’ve seen before. I always love weddings that is out of the box and a bride who is not afraid of something edgy and unique. The wedding of Keri & Jeremiah surely could be described that way! This wedding was held in Texas and happened last year’s Fall season, shot by the amazing Agung Fauzi from Seize The Day Photography, who also shot my very own wedding.

I’m so amazed at the couple’s eclectic and unique taste. There is edginess, casualness, stylishness, with a bit of rustic touch.

Here is a bit from Keri:
I did my own flowers, and I put all the fabric together for my dress, but had an amazing seamstress that sewed it all together like that. The actual dress I bought at Bliss Bridal and I think it was “technically” a bridesmaids dress. In the middle it had a big applique of sparkly beads and diamonds (so not me) so I just took that off!

How cool are the bridesmaid’s outfits? Where else would you get to wear jeans as a bridesmaid? And the bouquet is just so, so charming and cool. The flowers are wrapped with a fabric with musical notes pattern, since the couple are a big music fan. In fact, Jeremiah proposed Keri with a song that he composed himself. Oh, and also, the camera seems to LOVE capturing the bride, don’t you think? She looks like a photo model!

I adore the flower girl’s pillow and the outfits.

The super crafty bride, Keri, is now a photographer and also a floral designer. Check out her website, photography blog, and floral design blog to see her works.

I’ve decided to have one wedding featured every Wednesday that I’d call “Wedding Wednesday“. So this would be the first Wedding Wednesday! :)

This wedding has such a simple but charming details, which I absolutely adore. Sarah K. Chen captures the most ethereal and beautiful images for a wedding and she did such an excellent job on this wedding! I love the chalkboard theme, the adorable cake topper, the letterpressed program, the cake buffet, the ring shot, the red umbrella shot… So much things to love here!

The Fall season is almost here. Or, is it here already? The wedding inspiration board below was originally inspired by the tree pattern on Little Pretty Studio’s Hoop-Dee-Doo Bulletin Board. I think it’s a great idea to have several bulletin boards like that as a place card display on a wedding, particularly this one. I think it’s vintage and quirky. After the wedding, they can be used as bulletin boards at home!

I would also imagine that this kind of wedding would be happening under a big oak tree in Fall season’s perfect weather. I imagine it would be so appropriate for the invitation and stationery to be made from wood sheet.

It’s a great season to fall in love! :)

By the way, after all these times looking at pretty wedding eyecandies all across blogs, believe it or not, this is my first attempt at creating an inspiration board :) It’s an awesome experience, thanks to Style Circle! Now I’m addicted :)

Where should I start? This wedding has those charming little details that you can’t just narrow down. It’s SO HARD to pick the images that Jessamyn Harris posted at her blog. Melissa and Brett had their vintage rustic wedding at the charming  Healdsburlg Country Garden, Nothern California. Melissa, Brett, and their planner Jess Flood have such an eye for detail that is SO charming and irresistible.

First, look at the groomsmen accessories. The classic butterfly knot ties. The feathery boutonniere. Melissa made the bouts by her very own hands. And then look at the prettyful bride’s bouquet.

And then these little shabby-chic details that make up for a spectacular wedding. The succulents garland. Framed silhouettes. And you may not be able to see it, but the beer bottles have tags with their monogram on it, tied with some kind of twine to the bottle. Writings on black board. Old fashioned photo booth. Mustache stick. I’m so dizzy with inspirations already!

And this is by far my most favorite cake just yet. The bride’s cake resembles Melissa, who loves to garden, being rescued by Brett, who is a volunteer fireman. How adorably cute! This wedding looks so casual and relaxed but festive at the same time.

Seriously, you need to head over to Jessamyn’s blog for more eye candies of this charming wedding. It’s truly one of a kind!

I know summer is almost over but I don’t want summer to leave just yet. My knees become weak when I see yellow, orange, citrus green, and chocolate brown in a color palette. This particular wedding that happened right before the summer season began this year, makes me smile mainly because of the happy summer-y colors and the great sense of style that the bride has. I love, love, love her wedding dress and her bouquet. Guess what, she did her own bouquet! She was her own florist on her wedding. Not only unique and exotic looking, the bouquet has great, bright, happy colors that I adore.

The event was coordinated by Red Velvet Occasions. The beautiful photography was done by Mark Brooke. More beautiful detail captured by Mark on this wedding…

Last Spring, we created this invitation suite for a chic, fun and contemporary wedding at a gorgeous city club in the heart of Atlanta! Nita and Edward shared the same last name initial, which makes a fun monogram. The invitation is a combination of the bride’s fondness of “French-ish” decorative elements and the couple’s modern city wedding style.

Custom monogram, custom map, embossed hard-cover invitation, custom die-cut envelopes. It was such a fun project!

Nita and Edward (Edo) happened to be our very-very good friend and we attended the wedding last Spring. The wedding was so beautiful, intimate, touching, yet so fun. The wedding was shot by the oh-so-talented Lifebox Studio. See it for yourself!

And more jaw-dropping photos…
