Colorful and Happy Lorax Inspired Wedding

Jelger and Tanja Photographers captured this colorful and happy The Lorax garden themed wedding inspiration created by Umbrella Events in New Westminster, BC

This shoot began as a way to celebrate couples who are forever young at heart, and dream to express it in their wedding. The idea was for the inspiration to be bright, colourful and playful with a sense of elegance. So the concept of Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax was a perfect fit and definitely the way to go. The colors and playfulness were exactly what the team was looking for.

From the event planner:

I got in touch with several vendors who were immediately enthusiastic to cooperate on the shoot. More so because I gave them as much creative freedom as possible. The only requirement was to adhere to the colour palette (yellow, fuchsia, teal blue, orange and their corresponding pastels) and the sense of playfulness. All the results they returned were amazing.

The linen supplier hand-dyed the fabrics to give them an ombre effect, which looked gorgeous in the table settings. Our baker and confectioner got together and decided to come up with a collaborated dessert: 3 different tiered cakes decorated with cake pops resembling the Lorax’ trees. I created the cake stands myself by spray-painting candle holders I got at Ikea. And the florist was spot-on by assembling the ‘mismatched’ florals for the centerpieces and the colourful bouquets for our brides. The stationery designer finally, brought it all together with sophisticated stationery that reflected our colour palette perfectly.

For the brides, I decided to step away from the traditional look centered around a white dress and instead opted for a colourful but sophisticated look. Rosa wore a beautiful asymmetrical pastel yellow floor-length dress, Heather was dressed in a gorgeous, elegant pastel pink gown. The makeup artists continued the vivid tones by using bright colours and we accessorized with jewelry that gave it a refined and polished look.

The location of the shoot was Glenbrook Park; a hidden gem tucked away in New Westminster, BC. With the Lorax as inspiration, I couldn’t picture anything else but a natural surrounding for the shoot. The tranquility of the park felt like the perfect balance for the vivid colours and playfulness of the concept.

Rustic and Chic Handmade Backyard Wedding

Chelsea and Bobby met in West Palm Beach during college. Her family lived in the area, his resided in Maryland. They decided to have their wedding in his parents’ backyard, which just so happened to be this stunning waterfront.

Chelsea envisioned a rustic wedding with a classic twist. The bridesmaids wore floor-length navy blue dresses, and the bride wore a lovely lace dress she found at Bellissima Bride in Florida. The men wore navy bow ties and gray suits, and the flower girls were dressed in the prettiest lace dresses. Wooden farmhouse tables were adorned with glass lantern centerpieces filled with candles and moss. And the couple’s dog, Harley, who is a huge part of their lives, served as the cutest ring bearer you’ll ever see! He wore a gold bow tie and accompanied the party for several photographs by Bri Cibene Photography.

There was no shortage of DIY projects. Almost every detail was done by the bride, her family, or friends. From the stationery, (Chelsea was a graphic design major in college), to the many hand-lettered wooden signs, to the centerpieces, everything was stunning. The bride and bridesmaids even took on the flowers. Bouquets, boutonnieres, aisle decor, and even the cross that served as an altar were all done the night before. Handmade chic indeed.

Elegant and Sassy Couture Bridal Fashion

This shoot was inspired by the beautiful collection of Jenine Nereceina’s Cosmogyral 2016. This line is perfect for brides and bridesmaids looking for a little something more “Couture friendly” on their fabulous wedding day.

The venue for this styled shoot was the scenic El Matador St. Beach in Sunny Southern California. The Bride, model Andrea Hunt and her Maid of Honor, model Morgan Amore, go for a stroll along the beach as the sun is setting. They welcome with open arms and open hearts the new change in their lasting friendship. This lovely shoot would not have been possible if it weren’t for the amazing talents of Alyssa Lizarraga Photography, and hair and makeup by Alex Flores, of Elegance By Alex.

Jessica and Andrew (Drew), chose to have a simple and rustic, winter mountain wedding filled with elegance and love at the Canyons Resort in Utah.

There is something so natural and pure about the mountains in winter and that is what they wanted to start off their marriage. Plus, given the location is their favorite place on earth, they were thrilled to be able to share it with all of their friends and family. And with Logan Walker Photography behind the lens, looking back on their perfect day will be just as delightful as the day itself!

How did you and your spouse meet?

At a friend’s wedding in Chicago a few months after I had moved back there from San Diego. One of my close male friend’s from college got married in Chicago, and Drew was very close friends with him since they were in grade school. Drew was a reader at the wedding (that is when I first spotted him), and after asking around and finding out he was single, a few people offered to introduce us, but I confidently told them, “I got this.” and I did.

Who proposed marriage and how did that proposal happen?

Drew proposed in March of 2014 when we were on our annual ski trip with my mom at the Canyons. After a rough day (for him) on the mountain, he asked me casually, would you marry me, knowing that it will probably take me a few years to be as good of a skier as you? I mistakenly focused in on his assumption that he could EVER be as good of a skier as me, and was indignant, but then realized what he was asking, and the rest is a blur.

Old, new, borrowed, blue – Did you follow that tradition?

Yes, old, – the fur stole was very old, new – dress, shoes, veil, borrowed – pearl earrings from stepmom, diamond necklace from mom, blue – white and blue garter.

Favorite reception memory:

Dancing! We had fun doing our first dance (choreographed by one of my mom’s dance students) to Dave Matthews, You and Me. It was also funny when the snow cat plowed through the background of our wedding ceremony and parked right behind Drew and me for about 5 minutes before someone made him move. The gondola ride was also a big crowd pleaser, and a number of fun stories came from the ride.

Moments you loved, hated, cried, laughed or giggled at:

During the photos at Tigh Shebeen, a golden retriever I was trying to pet started rolling around on top of my wedding gown before one of the groomsmen pulled him off of it. Also fun, dancing in my robe and Uggs at the house while we were all getting our hair and makeup done. I also loved our first dance, and my dance with my dad to Hushabye (Beach Boys), because he used to play that on his guitar for me when I was a little kid to put me back to bed after I had a nightmare. We had so much fun dancing and seeing people of every age getting down on the dancefloor to our awesome band, The Dance Doctors.

What you would have done differently if anything:

I would have gotten a videographer. We were bummed no one got our first dance on camera, since everyone said it was really good, and we put a decent amount of time into learning it with our choreographer.

Any advice you have for future brides?

I was very relaxed, and it was fun. Part of that might be because we had all the bridesmaids come to the house, and the hair and makeup people came to us. Just letting go and enjoying the day isn’t as hard as you’d think.Where did you find your inspiration? Haha, maybe from my days as a little girl, when I was a ballerina in the Nutcracker and always wanted to play the role of the Snow Queen, lol. Your favorite moment of the day. The ten minutes in between the ceremony and reception, where Drew and I had a few moments alone in the reception space before the guests headed up. We had never actually rehearsed our choreographed first dance but had a video of it on drew’s phone, which we watched and tried to learn last minute. That was a great bonding moment.

Three things you’re glad you did.

Married my best friend, got married in Park City, and got a live band (thanks, dad)Anything you wish you hadn’t done? Nope, it was the best day of my life!What was the best piece of wedding advice you got? Just have fun.

Anything you wish you had known about sooner rather than later?

Be careful about the venue you choose. If they change ownership in the middle of executing your contract, you may end up with a few surprises or disappointments.

Thanks for stopping by!

Organic Spanish Hilltop Love

Lucy Bennett of The Boutique Wedding Co. was aiming for a look that was elegant with a bohemian feel to it, when she created today’s Spanish hilltop love shoot photographed by Eloy Muñoz and Aleksandra Foit from Eloy Muñoz Photography. It was important to her to maintain the natural elements of the venue, decor and local environment.

In addition to helping John with the flowers, Lucy also worked on producing lots of unique pieces for the shoot. She made all of the rustic looking cakes and for the cake table they used a beautiful old Spanish dresser. The cakes were displayed on elegant cut glass cake stands and the hand iced cupcakes, a buttercream icing coincided with the lavender herb color theme. Lucy accessorized the cake table with a vintage mirror sign, some antique heritage pieces from her grandparents and loose flowers. The idea was to keep it clean, simple, elegant and rustic.

Lucy’s Inspiration

I´ve been travelling to Southern Spain ever since my Dad moved here in 1994. He settled on the Costa De La Luz and when I first visited I really felt like I had found paradise, far from the busy tourist industry of the Costa del Sol. Little did I know that high above the Costa Del Sol in the Montes de Malaga is also a little piece of paradise, authentic Spain, served up stylishly with so much taste and passion and hidden away to keep it sacred. El Carligto a renovated old Spanish farm house and its sister property The Hunting Lodge, perched high on a Loma (its own Spanish Hill Top), sitting just below one of the highest peaks in the Malaga Mountains, with stunning views across to the Mediterranean sea are the ultimate luxury hideaways. On our first visit, we arrived along a mountain track with the aqua blue Lake Vinuela to our right and the Mediterranean Sea on the horizon and instantly knew we had to work with this amazing property! Excited to be planning our first wedding there this year, we wanted to share this amazing Venue with the world!

How it all came about

I had been in discussions with Eloy and Aleksandra from Eloy Muñoz Photography about creating a Wedding Shoot that would encompass a traditional Spanish mountain backdrop with a boutique element, so I approached Mark and Alan the owners of El Carligto and The Hunting Lodge about creating a wedding inspiration shoot, inspired by the authenticity of their Home /Venue and Location and they loved the idea…Spanish Hill Top Love´ was born.

For ´Spanish Hill Top Love´ the overall theme was organic modern bohemia. A chic bohemic bride in an rustic boutique location. The backdrop of the property and landscape was our main focus, we didn’t want to over complicate the shoot or take away from the beauty of what was already there. Additionally, I like to work with the native plants of Andalucia, so I decided that Lavender would be the star of this shoot to coincide with our colour theme of Lavender Herb, one of 2015´s top wedding colours!

Working with the elements of the Venue and the local environment were key. We shot between the two amazing houses. With some beautiful inside and outside spaces and a fabulous view of the moody mountains as a backdrop. I was keen to incorporate the superb styling of the houses, which is all based on traditional local styles with a very Boutique Look, for example the Cow Hide furniture and original 200 year old solid wood doors!

Florals

John the florist and Dominic his partner and I collected the Florals from the countryside and a few specials blooms bought in. John our amazing florist of JW Design, created a look that was elegant but a touch of organic and wild looking. The bouquet, Floral crown and beautiful garland were created from Olive leaf, Eucalyptus, bay leaf, Lavender flower and leaf, rosemary, with a touch of larger blooms such as ranuculars and roses in ivory with lavender interspersed. He is a perfectionist and spent three days creating the organic floral and foliage garland, the perfectly delicate floral crown and gorgeous bouquet.

The Pintable’s

The gorgeous pintable’s and invitations were created by Lou Rodrigues from Beyond Vintage UK. In keeping with our organic theme she created a watercolour olive and Lavender wreath look that was carried throughout the different paper elements. The lavender elements was carried throughout the whole shoot, from cake decorations to place settings, the pintable’s of course and all of the florals had a touch of Lavender! What I love most is that the pintable’s look and feel handmade, organic and so personal to our shoot.

Model and Hair and Make-Up

Our Bride for the day was Maria from DE Management, a beautiful Spanish girl with a totally unique look. 5 ft. 10 inches with blonde hair and soft brown eyes! Her gorgeous long hair and perfect skin worked perfectly for the modern bohemian look we wanted to achieve. Our Makeup artist from Arteness Make-up school kept the look natural, styling her hair with loose curls for the first part of the shoot and later a long side plait to compliment the Floral Crown. Maria had a calm, Smokey look that I really liked in contrasted well with the moody backdrop of the Rainy March day! Unusual for Spain but it can happen!

Dress and Accessories

Another crafty moment took over me when I tailored the dress, originally from Bailly Bijoux (a local brand) for the shoot by cutting away huge amounts of fabric and creating a low cut front and backless look. This showcased perfectly the amazing Bohemian jewellery collection from Meriko London (based here in Spain too!). Don´t miss the super cute ear cuffs! and Long drop necklaces and bracelets!

Our Photographers

I worked closely with Aleksandra and Eloy from Eloy Muñoz Photography to pull the shoot together, sourcing all of the wonderful local contributors and of course they worked hard to capture the day in a unique way that offers an alternative perspective on a wedding in Spain! Eloy and Aleksandra are International Award Wedding Photographers, based here in Malaga. They are extremely talented and creative, offering an alternative to the everyday wedding photography we see. They specialise in Landscape and Underwater Trash the Dress shoots, but for today we stayed out of the water and captured ´Spanish Hill Top Love´ perfectly.

Our Venue

The Location of this venue is the draw. Perched high on its own hill top with stunning views across to the Mediterranean, sat below a huge mountain, it doesn´t really get more dramatic than that. The properties, an old farm and an old Hunting lodge…Circa 1800´s, have been renovated and restored with style, taste and authenticity. This has to be one of the most unique and stylish properties that offers weddings in Andalucia. Mark and Alan from El Carligto were our hosts for the day, they were the warmest of hosts keeping us fuelled on wonderful food (Culinary expertise is a signature of the property) and of course gorgeous Spanish wine! They have openly shared their wonderful home with us for the day! I totally recommend El Carligto and The Hunting lodge for a fabulously unique boutique wedding in Spain or even just a week long getaway from the stresses and strains of city life! It is a truly a special place; tranquil, luxurious and absolutely authentic Spain! With THE most stunning views in Southern Spain!

Thanks for stopping by!
