An Intimate Palm Springs Wedding with just 10 Guests: Berrit & Daniel

January 20, 2012 in Wedding | 11 comments

Berrit & Daniel had just 8 (well 10 including their photographer Marianne Wilson and her assistant!) guests for their super intimate wedding in Palm Springs. By keeping the numbers so small they were able to pay real attention to all the wedding details in order to create an utterly stunning celebration. The wedding was held at a private house called Silver Orchid.

The couple traveled from Germany, where they live, to be married in California on a Friday evening. They had a florist come in and set up an archway and chair for the ceremony as well as a little dinner set up out on the lawn that was catered (mini milkshakes and all) by Chef KK.

“You can probably imagine the chaos-scenario with the whole family in good old cold Germany when we told them we’d decided to have a very small, intimate and perfect wedding, with only our closest friends, in sunny Califoria!” wrote Berrit. “We have never regretted it though! Most of our family members didn’t know we smoked or that I am tattooed. They loved the wedding photos by Marianne Wilson but that was a bit of a shock for them! So, our very private Rock n Roll lifestyle was then made public (at least to the family at home) at the very best day of our lives.”

“The best and most intimate part of our wedding was the fact that a close friend, Alex (I featured his own wedding on Rock n Roll Bride two years ago in fact!) made a licence to become our officiant! No one else could have done a more personal marriage ceremony than him”

An Intimate Wedding of Just 16 Guests: Jasmine & Piers

December 14, 2011 in British Brides, Wedding | 12 comments

Jasmine & Piers had only 16 guests for their intimate wedding which meant they were able to have a really relaxed and personal celebration. “We wanted it to be simple and pretty, and most of all…relaxed,” the bride told me.

“We didn’t really have a theme, but if I had to pick a work to describe it, I say Love. Everything involved in the day are things (or people) we love. Piers had his Father as his best man, which was very sweet. One of my very dear friends, and her boyfriend, from NYC spent the morning with me, helping me get prepared. During the ceremony, our friends and family sat in a circle around us in the “Lady Chapel” of All Saints West Dulwich. It was exactly what we invisioned and felt so special. We all had so much fun. I don’t think either of us have ever smiled that much in one day!! It was perfect.”

Their reception was held at Luigi’s Italian Restaurant which they decorated with items they already owned. “We had a vintage bottle collection, so it seemed natural to utilise these for the dinner table…especially since there are a mix of bottles from the US and England (Piers is from London and Jasmine from NYC). I had seen the handkerchief invites on Etsy and loved them. They seemed so thoughtful and sweet. Allie from Allie Ruth Design was very sweet to take the handkerchiefs and vintage London postcards I had collected and put together the wedding invites. Thankfully it was really easy to work with her from so far away and luckily I have some very sweet friends that helped to ship everything to me as it was ready….invites, my dress and the favours!”

Jasmine wore an Elizabeth Dye wedding dress which was bought at Lovely Bride, NYC. Her stunning shoes were from Kate Spade and her headpiece from BHLDN.

An Upstate New York Wedding with a Bun in the Oven: Faith & Chris

September 15, 2011 in Wedding | 2 comments

Faith & Chris were married at Camp Brockway in Pratt’s Falls, NY. The theme of the day revolved around birds, but more than that it revolved around the love and the fact that the two of them were committing their lives to each other. After a touching outdoor ceremony, the couple enjoyed some time having their photos taken by Love Me Do Photography.

“My favorite part of the day was probably when we were taking pictures with Love Me Do,” wrote Faith. “It was such a nice way to spend those last betrothed moments away from all the matrimonial madness just posing for portraits in the woods with each other. It felt so natural and I think the photos really show that.”

“I guess I’d just like to add that I’ve always wished for Prince Charming to come sweep me off my feet and give me the wedding of my dreams. Some things really are worth the wait and after our incredibly long courtship and year and a half engagement, the pay off couldn’t be sweeter. Chris and I both feel like the luckiest people on earth and are so excited to be starting our family with the love and support of all of our friends and family. August 20th was the most special day we’ve ever shared and are so grateful to everyone who helped us make it so memorable, especially Momma and Poppa Tyler.”

A Simple Southern Wedding: Stephanie & Michael

September 7, 2011 in Wedding | 9 comments

Stephanie & Michael’s beautiful barn wedding was held at The Lily Barn in Townsend, TN. The stunning surroundings really set the tone for their simple, intimate and classically Southern day.

“My favorite thing about planning our wedding was how simple it was”, Stephanie wrote. “We really didn’t fret about little details that wouldn’t matter in the end. I was just really looking forward to having all of our friends and family in the same place at the same time!”

“I was also really looking forward to seeing Stephanie in her wedding dress,” added Michael.

“The best thing about the whole day was walking away from the ceremony to the Beatles song The Two of Us with everyone throwing flowers at us!” the couple agreed.

Although the wedding was a self-professed simple affair, the couple did add a few personal and alternative touches to their day. They used giant crocheted chandeliers that their friend Bethany had made as centrepieces during the ceremony and DIYed pretty much all the reception décor.
