Whitney and Cliff: A Happy, Happy, Happy Wedding {Mobile, Ala.}

To kick off my posts of weddings this season, I get to start with an old friend. Whitney and I grew up together at church in Mobile, Ala. We got to be even closer during high school. As things happen, we kind of went our separate ways during college and with moves and whatnot. But, through the magic of Facebook, we connected again. And, lo and behold, Whitney was engaged soon! As the ultimate honor, she asked me to be her wedding director. Even if we weren’t planning her wedding at the Mobile Museum of Art, the time we got to spend catching up and getting to know each other (again!) was so sweet. I am continually surprised at the experiences that I get through my job.

A little about the wedding: Whitney and Cliff chose the gorgeous Christ Anglican church for their ceremony and the Mobile Museum of Art for their reception. Even though it was St. Patrick’s day, no green was seen at the wedding (except the money dance…). While I could talk about the red tones or the little birds that were used as a motif through out the wedding, it is actually the mood that I was especially hit by. Of all the weddings I have ever done and all the brides that I’ve worked with or just been around, Whitney was the happiest bride I have ever seen. Absolutely ecstatic to be getting married. And, you better believe that it carried through to the rest of the wedding. Cliff, a quiet guy, was clearly taken with his beaming bride. And nothing makes me smile more than my clients being happy.

So, here’s a glimpse into one of the happiest days that I’ve had the pleasure to be a part of (photos by One Fine Day Photography). Whitney and Cliff, it was so great to work with y’all and I couldn’t be happier for you guys! Congratulations!!!

Until next time…. XOXO, Julie

The Handmade Wedding: An Etsy Roundup

Handmade items, especially for weddings, seem to be more appreciated than ever these days. Knowing that it was made specifically for you or that there are very few of them around – it is very attractive. Enter Etsy. This lovely site has become the go-to spot to find original items from individuals who make these items simply because they love what they are doing. The variety and amount of things to find is amazing. I always keep this site handy for my client’s either for specific items or simple inspiration.

I’ve been browsing Etsy quite a bit recently. The weddings I have coming up this season are just screaming for those personal touches. I have stumbled across a few things that I think are super fun and I thought I would share a few here. I totally recommend that you take your own trip through Etsy. It’s one of my faves! Until next time… XOXO, Julie

Clutches from Yensew – I always love a stylish clutch to complete an outfit. And, your wedding day should be no exception. This one caught my eye because it is the perfect blend of glamorous and simple. And, a little something blue in the lining! And take a look at the other options for bridesmaid gifts.

Ring bearer Birds Nest from Rachel Walter – I have never been a big fan of the ring bearer pillow. Anything else that a little boy can carry would be fine. And these little nests are so cute. And so perfect for an outdoor ceremony. Just something a little different.

Love Birds Cake Topper from Lollie Blossom Studio – To keep with the nest theme, I saw these birds and thought they were so wonderful. Not cheesy. Simple. Understated. Really cute!

Seersucker Ties from Divine Domestication – Remember the inspiration board I posted a few weeks ago that featured a preppy design? Here’s is a perfect variation on the navy and white: seersucker! I love these ties so much! And, please take a look at the awesome bow ties too. I would die to see a ring bearer in these.

Hand painted Floral Silk Dress by Tanja Design – Something about this dress hits me just right. Bridesmaids dresses have a really bad reputation. I don’t know that these dresses are for everyone’s wedding party. But, I really like them. Heck. I might buy one to wear on Easter…

Something Blue Statement Necklace from RiRi Jewelry by Naoko – One of my very favorite things to find on Etsy is handmade jewelry. I love that perfect piece that completes an outfit. And statement pieces for weddings have been more and more popular. Being a lover of the color blue and knowing that every bride needs her blue, I am going to go with this piece. Amazing!

I hope you enjoyed this little round up! Keep in mind that amazing pieces aren’t only found online. Etsy is just one of the fastest and most extensive showing of artists’ handmade items. But, browse your local boutiques. There are always amazing pieces to be found. As always, your wedding should reflect you and your style. I wish you a wonderful time completing your look with any and all little touches you find!

The Meeting House One of the first buildings you see when you enter The Waters is the Meeting House. Set on Chapel Hill and overlooking the entire community, the Meeting House can hold up to 250 people for a wedding ceremony. I love the classic design and the simple lines that it has. It’s one of those buildings that stands out for it’s beautiful simplicity. Oozing traditional Southern charm. Basically, my ideal spot for a wedding ceremony.

The Marina A long pier leads out to twin boat houses that gives your guests a different experience of the lake. Room for a band and dancing and also for dining, an amazing evening on the water is easy to create. Rehearsal dinners or receptions have all enjoyed this spot to perfection.
