If you are choosing a specific theme for your wedding/elopement, make sure you stay true to it throughout the entire planning process. The theme also needs to be close to your heart in order for you to have true inspiration. Take a lot of consideration into the vendors you hire. I see a lot of couples choose the cheapest route when they are eloping because they don’t want to damage their bank accounts – but you will be sorry if that cake is less than good when the time comes to take a bite! You need to be able to trust and love your vendors and many do a lot of elopements. So don’t be afraid to be honest with them and talk to them about your budget, needs and wants. I personally love it when couples are very open with communication with me because it makes my job easier. ~Natalie Landrum/Photographer

Flora Farms Destination Wedding

By Car

And just like that, it’s already December! While we’re here celebrating the best things that happened this year why not start with something elegant, eclectic, whimsical, and of course everything about the beach! This whimsy and fun beach wedding of Dawn and Sean go beyond details and specific design choices. They brought in some interesting design pieces, like the ladder ceremony arch, which was layered with elegant chiffon material, candles, and flowers. Dawn had the idea for lightbulb bud vases which was hand-made and hung from the arch with lanterns for an even more whimsical ceremony. At the ceremony, they channeled fairytale whimsy with a unique ceiling installation which was deliciously elegant. The travel-themed elements were also whimsical! Dawn custom-monogrammed luggage tag escort cards which were hung from a 7-foot tall wooden frame backed with chicken wire (picnic!). They fulfilled the eclectic piece with the layout, which was a mix of one long empirical table, round tables, high-top tables, and lounge seating. The mix of furniture was perfect! Dawn was specific about their colors, which were red, orange, and coral, and worked perfectly for the early summer wedding. Go on and check out what you might have missed through these amazing snaps brought to us by AnnaGomesPhoto down below!

The planning process was effortless and undeniably stress-free due to the early decision my husband and I agreeing to hire a full-time wedding planner. Ours, Bonnie Chase of Events by Bliss. We had a tight budget that we wanted to stick to, and although the expense of a wedding planner can be viewed as a luxury that will take away from the overall budget allocated to the wedding, we knew that we wanted a professional to handle this important event for us, so everyone involved could have a great time. The amount of money we spent upfront to hire Events by Bliss for our wedding saved us tremendously at the end of the day, theoretically speaking. I know that this may not be the case for every couple with every wedding planner. We were extremely blessed and fortunate that luck was on our side, and the stars aligned for us to cross paths (and work with) Bonnie Chase. ~Ashley Lomelin/Wedding Vendor

At Well With My Soul – Romantic Beach Engagement

By Car

Hey, everyone! Can you believe that 2018 is already ending? Neither can us! Time is really blazing too fast and there’s so much more gorgeous beach themed wedding to talk about and feature so we’ve got something special to show you today. Taylor and Tyler’s beach themed engagement shoot is absolutely amazing! They chose the Grand Hotel in Point Clear Alabama for their engagement and the scenery was breath-taking! Talk about the picturesque beach that they chose, right? Listen to this, the spot that they took the photos were particularly special because Taylor picked fresh flowers and gave them to Tyler on the pier on their first date and because of that he always brings her flowers. Romantic, right? From their lovely photos to the oh-so-beautiful beach, we’ve got you covered! So, without further chit-chat here are the snaps taken by Justine Danielle Photography. Enjoy!

Butterfly Beach Four Seasons Bridal Session

By Car

To tell you the truth ladies, bohemian-inspired beach weddings give me the chills! It’s not just beautiful but also whimsical! What makes it extraordinary has everything to do with the details! I mean just look at the bride’s gorgeous gown! It spells grace and style, and I know everyone will fall in love with it. Butterfly beach is the perfect location to fulfill any bride’s dream. This styled shoot was taken on a perfect beach day with a bright blue sky. That makes this inspiration a masterpiece to showcase the beauty of bridal portraits. Once a bride sees her portraits she can see if any changes need to be made to her hair & make up for the wedding day. She can see her posture, comment on any issues she’s in posing, analyze how her dress looks & fits. I absolutely love bridal portraits & think brides should be educated on why a bridal portrait session before your wedding is such a great idea. Every detail is in Trudy Moylan Photography’s superb photos, so make sure to check them out below!

If someone had given me advice for planning a wedding, I wish it was to remember that everyone’s story is different; your wedding should be planned on the right timeline for you. A traditional engagement is a year, but ours will be two and a half years. The entire planning process is fun, but it can also be stressful and time consuming. Start your planning with the things that mean the most to you (venue, photographer, food) then take a break before researching and booking other vendors. I think it’s important to not forget to relax and explore new adventures together during this process. Enjoy your time engaged, you have a lifetime left of being married! ~Haleigh Dunn/Photographer
