Erin and Taber’s elegant, modern garden party filled with blush and ivory hues accented with gold details was captured beautifully by Stephanie Brazzele Photography, and while scrolling through their photos below, it’s hard to find a detail about this day we don’t absolutely adore. The lovely team over at Bells & Barbells made sure Erin was looking and feeling her best before her big day, and we have to say, she looked completely stunning! Sticking with blush hues throughout, all of Erin’s bridesmaids’s looked beautiful in their light blush dresses from Bella Bridesmaids, and The Styling Stewardess completed their glam looks with soft, natural makeup glows and light blush lips. Our favorite part of this light and airy garden party has to be the florals from Something Pretty Floral. Bouquets of blush roses, white hydrangeas and bright green eucalyptus adorned this whole scene, truly making it light and airy in the most prefect way.

This corona couple is truly one of the sweetest couples we have ever seen! Haley and Jacob weren’t going to let COVID-19 dampen their love for one another or their pure happiness about getting married, and their wedding ended up being one of those we can’t help but shed happy tears over. Having to alter their wedding plans to fit quarantine restrictions gave the couple an opportunity to have more personal touches than they originally were going to plan for, and not having all the extra frills allowed them to focus on one another and celebrating with their families. After being re-planned in less than a week, we don’t think the simple details could have come out any better. Deep maroon florals with subtle pops of lavender and ivory throughout made for an elegant bouquet of flowers for Haley to walk down the aisle with. Her natural makeup glow from Brite Beauty went perfectly with her lace detailed, open-back bridal gown, making her a beautiful bride. We can’t get over Jacob’s giddiness throughout the whole day, but especially when he sees his bride walking down the aisle – cue the tears! Our favorite part of this day has to be their corona-themed photos that you have to see below. Scroll to read about this couple’s wedding planning journey, from cancelling to re-planning their sweet and intimate chapel corona wedding day – we promise it’s worth the read. Cheers to Haley and Jacob!

From the bride: “The months leading up to the wedding were a whirlwind, especially as we had to consider a new, unexpected challenge: COVID-19. As we neared the final planning stages, the disease was on our minds, but like many people, we didn’t realize how serious of an issue it would be. We had two close friends visit us the weekend of Valentine’s Day, and I remember talking with them about the wedding planning and how excited we were for April 4th. Little did we know, we would be getting married almost a month after those conversations, two weeks before our planned date!

This wintery wedding will get you in the holiday spirit, we guarantee it!

Mallory wore an elegant off-the-shoulder, long sleeve, lace detailed bridal gown from the Bridal Boutique that was the perfect choice for a winter wedding. LeForce Entertainment kept the dance floor packed all night long and helped light up the night with their Christmas light installations.

From the bride: “The biggest thing I learned while planning is the importance of having a planner. In the beginning I was doing most of the planning and thought I was on track. After hiring Weddings by StarDust I realized there was so much more detail that went into planning that I was missing!”

The results were a very private and intimate outdoor ceremony, followed by one of the most stylish picnics we’ve ever seen.

From the bride: “We have been together for 11 years and engaged for two. Our wedding was scheduled for May 29, 2020, but of course, we had to cancel, not only due to a limitation on gatherings, by also a large part of my family lives in Canada and borders are closed. We did not want to wait another year, so we decided to go ahead and get married on May 21, 2020. All of our vendors are rescheduled for May 21, 2021, so we will have our second wedding on our one-year anniversary.”

This chic backyard corona wedding featured terra cotta florals and an intimate, private ceremony! March 21, 2020, marked Lauren and Jack’s five year dating anniversary, while also marking the beginning of the “stay at home orders” because of COVID-19. They did not have weeks or months to change their plans, they had just days to cancel their big wedding and switch it to fit COVID-19 guidelines. This gave them the opportunity to now have a “Marriage Day” and a “Wedding Day,” with their “Marriage Day” consisting of a small ceremony in the backyard of their first home together, surrounded only by their parents, and it was the best decision they ever made. It ended up being, as Lauren said, “the most romantic and cherished day of our lives.”

“I will remember every moment, every feeling, every heart flutter and every tear.”

With the help of many of their vendors, they were still able to have some of their wedding day ideas come to life. Lauren’s beautiful bouquet, filled with fresh terra cotta colored florals from Alba Dahlia Floral, was a lovely addition to her wedding day look. Laning Photography was more than happy to still document this day for the couple, and the results are gorgeous photos we can’t take our eyes off! Julep Events planned every little detail of this intimate day, and helped the couple through everything to reschedule their original wedding to a couple months later. Scroll to look through all the photos of this oh-so sweet couple and to read about the bride’s favorite vendor! Cheers to the Fitzgeralds!
