Ben and Peter wanted a classic southern style theme with a white and navy blue color scheme - they incorporated a lot of candles, florals, and rustic greenery. It was truly magical. For the Pre-ceremony location, the couple opted for a gorgeous Whitman Mansion built-in 1895, which was perfectly matched for their vision and wedding theme.

Ben and Peter were incredibly handsome in their navy blue tailored suits and brown dress shoes. They wanted something more casual than a tuxedo, and with their outfits, they definitely achieved that.
For their little flower girls, the couple opted for Princessly flower girl dresses. And the girls looked so adorable in them! With a beautiful satin top, a skirt made of layers and layers of tulle, and a navy satin belt, we're sure that the flower girls felt like little princesses in it. They completed the look with cute navy flats with bows and satin baskets.

Here is what Ben said about the dresses:
''We’re coming up on a year since our wedding and I’m realizing I never recognized some of our smaller vendors that we used. We had 4 flower girls in our Savannah wedding and my husband was very specific in what he wanted! We came across Princessly which had such a wide variety of options. They even customized the sash color to match the navy blue in our suits and the bridesmaids' dresses! Prices were reasonable and it didn't take long before the dresses were shipped to our home!''

Bohemian weddings set to look fabulous at right event, so think woodlands, countryside venues, beach or a romantic back yard.

Wedding venue [photo: whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com by Casey Avenue Photography ]
It all started on the 14th July 2017 on a divine summers day. Gorgeous couple Jade and Matt had a vision of a bohemian garden party that was brought to life thanks to their creativity.
Bride and groom [photo: whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com by Casey Avenue Photography]
For the wedding venue they opt for a beautiful The Tythe Barn in Oxfordshire, which is just 20 minutes from their home. Barn is built between 1360 and 1370, and still retains the majority of its 22 foot original beams. And with private gardens, pergolas, paddock and the old chapel, it provided a wonderful backdrop for their wedding photography.

It takes some thought and creativity to make your day own. Incorporating your personality can be as subtle as the font you use on your invitations or the cool and unique table numbers, or even the way you have your napkins folded around your menu cards. And that’s what Jade and Matt achieved. They were really thinking outside of the box, and put their signature on everything, from the wooden signs to the Polaroid table plan.

For the table decor they opted for a truly boho variant, simple glass vase with different fresh wild flowers, and greenery that really gave the tables a cool summer touch. They also turned wine bottles into creative table-number displays, which performed double- duty as candle holder and table number. So creative and affordable, right?

Flowers and fairy-lights were the main decoration at this wedding. And for all that were in charge, the coolest girls in the flower business, Sorcha and Charlotte aka Herbet & Isles. With their ideas, this wedding was turned into magical and incredibly beautiful celebration. Just one look at this show-stopping floral chandelier and you will fall in love in their work.

Now let’s talk about this stunning wedding dress…. Bride wore blush embroidered gown by Wendy Makin, from her French Collection. Wendy Makin dresses are recognized as one of Australia’s best bridal wear brands. Her gowns have become known for their quality of design, fit and manufacture. No wonder why Jade opted for this brand! Her dress in ‘tea rose’ features three quarter sleeves, illusion neckline/back and unique floral embellishments which adds a whimsical effect to the relaxed style. The bride rounded up the whole look with ‘Grace’ by Rachel Simpson shoes ( featured all the colors of the dress, with a delicate rose detail and a peep toe), her Nanna’s pearl earrings, and the flower crown made by Herbet & Isles.

Groom opted for the 3-piece ‘Burford’ suit by The Vintage Suit Hire Company, which is perfect for bohemian, rural weddings and can be dressed to create the look of the landed gentry, or a more folky informal look. The Groom and Groomsmen all wore different bow ties, which Matt found on Etsy. And Jade also made their dog Earl a bowtie to match! Cute, right?

No bohemian wedding is complete without a wedding cake with a romantic rustic feel. The couple opted for a three- tiered white/pink ombre wedding cake crawling with wild flowers and topped by a Lego bride and groom. Plus, they also had a fruitcake, made by the mother of the groom. Something for everyone to enjoy.

As the bride and groom have a love for all things Lego, they made every guest their very own Lego figurine, either modeled on them or a superhero. It is a really unique and thoughtful way of showing appreciation to their guests for attending their big day.
Lego figurine [photo: whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com by Casey Avenue Photography ]
The cherry on top of this laid-back celebration is the ‘pimp my Prosecco’ bar. The guests could ‘pimp’ their Prosecco with a choice of fruits, flavoured syrups and sugar crystals. We are sure, everyone had so much fun customizing their drinks.

Bride also shared advice for other couples, for the Whimsical Wonderland Weddings website, and it said;
‘Don’t overthink it! The tiny details won’t matter on the day. Go with what you want to do or you’ll risk last minute meltdowns. Also, when it comes to the dress, don’t be overwhelmed by all the beautiful dresses and everyone’s opinions… and finally, when the day is over, the photos will mean everything, so in my opinion this is the one place you shouldn’t cut costs.’ – Jade
Congratulations to a beautiful couple! May your wonderful journey be filled with love and happiness.

Here is what Brittany says about herself: : „My heart beats for classic, outdoor weddings with romantic touches and meaningful details that add to the captivating story of your relationship„. She had her work published in: Style Me Pretty, Carats & Cake, Grey Likes Weddings, Trendy Bride Magazine, Artfully Wed, The Knot, 100 Layer Cake, SMP Living, Inspired By This, and more. And of course, you can always found out more and take a look at her heartwarming photos at her website https://www.brittanyjeanphoto.com/.
Also, we have to mention invitations which were made by minted. We’re always stressing the importance of invitations, how they are crucial to setting a wedding theme and that you need pay attention to them. Which Kylie and Alex certainly did. Invitations are made in gorgeous powdery shade of gray, very minimalist with a touch of gold. Minimal, beautiful and elegant. Simply perfect!
But let’s get back to our happy couple and their pretty wedding decor. As we previously said, it is themed in rustic style which the couple really love (as do we!). Flowers at the reception were rich and in gorgeous cranberry color with addition of pink and cream flowers and decorative grasses. All of the flowers were arranged and delivered by Color Theory Collective florists.
Tables were decorated with large white candles that give out a sense of warmth and romance, eucalyptus to bring freshness, and golden details to round it all up. Truly great arrangements if you ask us. Really cool detail were the thank you gifts, which where small bags of pop corn with a note saying: thank you for popping by! That was a pretty cool idea , don’t you agree?
Gold color goes great with shades that we previously mentioned, and they were combined as the main elements. Ceremony was held at Addison Grove which has gorgeous surroundings, trees, modern barn with grand chandeliers…You can really see why the lovely couple opted for this venue, it is a perfect spot for an outdoor wedding. Addison Grove is only 20 minutes away from Austin.
Since they began their journey firstly as friends, then a couple, they wanted they wedding to have a relaxed atmosphere, so when they started planning for it, having a relaxed and cozy ceremony was one of the most important demands to fulfill. And not just to be relaxed and cozy for them two, but for their families which were supportive of their relationship since day one, as well as their friends.
Wedding menu also embraced the overall relaxed atmosphere. Behind it was Salt Lick BBQ, there were local Austin craft beers and wedding cake was replaced with Amy’s Ice Cream. Yummmm! Also, the groom has created a couple of fun games to entertain and make the guests laugh, and everyone agrees that he achieved what he was going for!
Bride was wearing a beautiful wedding dress. It had a gorgeous upper part made of lace, and it had open back. Dress was from Blush bridal lounge. Bride combined the dress with lovely white sandals and later she replaced them with comfy white glitter sneakers. A perfect idea for future brides who want to dance till the break of dawn! While on the subject of dance, they had Royal Dukes Band to play. Groom was wearing a classic suit, combined with brown shoes and belt and rounded all up with powdery gray tie.
Flower girls were wearing beautiful Princessly dresses (Misdress). Dresses were in gorgeous ivory color, and although at first they may look simple and minimal, they certainly were not! Lace, and stunning details on the back are the things that make this dress special. There are also 3D flowers along the straps. Pretty breathtaking, right? You can also pick the dress in different sizes. They combined the dresses with beautiful minimal flower wreaths in their hair and cute white sandals. Soooo cute! And the icing on the cake is a really affordable price of the dresses.
Bridesmaids wore beautiful dresses from JennyYoo collection. They were in a fantastic powdery gray shade, and to round them all up, they were combined with stunning bouquets made with flowers that were also used to decorate the tables.On of the more, if not the most, important things for bride and bridesmaids are certainly the hair and make up. They were taken care of by LoLa Beauty, and award winning hair and makeup company in Austin, TX that specializes in weddings. It was founded in 2013 by Lorena Molano (Lo) and Lauren Parker (La). Make up they did was gentle and natural with only slightly accented eyes, hair was slightly curled, and was half up and half down and decorated with flowers. It fitted the wedding’s theme beautifully. It really impressed us!
Event coordination was handled by Elaine and Lee which is directed by Alisha Randig. Alisha loves all things weddings, and she is forever honored to share a bride’s most important day of her life. Which ever vision you have for your wedding trust us when we say that Elaine and Lee will know how to make it come to life!
We would like to wish all the best to the happy couple in their new married life!
]]>And we must admit that newlyweds Oriel Lawton and Niall Tynan had the most creative one yet! Their James Bond themed wedding really included everything you could see in the movies; from a smoking hot tux to the fun casino night and we simply can’t forget the martini glasses with the Champagne sorbet! Wedding and wedding reception looked like they were taken right from the scenes of a James Bond movie, just look at these pictures! Check out below to find out how they organized their perfect wedding day!
Bride and Groom [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
But first, let’s start the story with how Niall proposed Oriel…
“It was a beautiful sunny day on 27th April 2015. We took our chocolate brown Labrador Denzel to the beach in Kinsale for a walk and there Niall went down on bended knee”. – Oriel
Ceremony was held in St. Josephs SMA Church, Wilton. And it was simply magical! Beautiful red roses and fabulous The Hallelujah Gospel Choir created the most stunning and breathtaking atmosphere. Cork Weddings and Events was in charge for the church decor and flowers.

Groom [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
Cork weddings & events have quite a lot of experience in the wedding industry. Iris is a wedding planer and also a florist. You can pick out plenty of various things that will make your special day even more special like Beautiful Wedding Flowers, Chair Covers, Venue Decoration, Sweet Carts, Chocolate Fountains and lots more.
The funniest moments for our bride and groom were certainly the ones when their dog Denzel, a chocolate brown Labrador, waited for them in front of the church looking all posh and cute wearing a dickie bow, and when the bride and her dad danced to the altar while holding hands.
Bride and groom with their dog [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
As the couple really wanted a wedding venue that look like it is taken away from a James Bond movie, they have opted for the most luxurious wedding venue in Ireland, Fota Island Resort located in Cork. It’s nestled right at the heart of a peaceful island, surrounded by the gorgeous scenery in County Cork. If you look at the pictures you will see that Fota Island Resort is a glorious combination of elegance, amenities, natural beauty, luxury and service, just perfect for a James Bond themed wedding, right? The most important thing for Oriel and Niell was to accommodate all their guests, and Fota Island Resort was a perfect place for that task. Fact that it can comfortably accommodate between 120 and 300 wedding guests was the decisive factor in picking out the venue.
[photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
When it comes to wedding decor, this couple has taken themed weddings to a whole new level of planning and taking care of the details! From the elegant and classic black table clothes and golden table runners, to the James bond movie names for table assignments instead of simply putting numbers.

And those balloon lights centrepieces? All we could say is WOW! They are so cool, so unique and so different to anything we had ever come across before at any other event. It has really made the whole reception absolutely stunning and breathtaking! For the balloon centrepieces all the credits goes to Jenny and Red Balloon team. Congratulations on a job well done http://www.redballooncork.com/ !

But that true James Bond atmosphere was created using unique black display with lights, amazing led dance floor and James Bond props by Stephens Display Solutions. Again, congrats!

As for the menu, bride and groom opte for a classic one, but appealing to most of the guest’s appetites. As in all of the 007 movies, James Bond is often seen with martini glass in hand (we all remember his most famous line “Shaken, not Stirred”) and Oriel and Niell really wanted to incorporate that in their wedding too. So to do that, they served Champagne sorbet in martini glasses. It was a pleasant treat for their wedding guests.
We all know that wedding cake is a pinnacle of the reception, and that almost every guest snaps a picture of it. So we can understand why the couple opted for the black and orange color scheme. The gorgeous cake stayed true to the theme and it is made by Trace of Cakes, Ballincollig, know for their widly unique wedding cakes.

Bride was wearing a beautiful Paloma Blanca dress, a brand founded way back in the 1937. by Manny Bernstein. Brand was originally named Blue bird dress and was based in Toronto, Canada. The company today is still family owned, making women happy with it’s fantastic dresses and having clients from all over the world. They are proud of their unique and special designs, as well as using only high quality materials, details and patterns. Because of all that, it is not a surprise that the bride opted for their dress, the Paloma Blanca Style 4614.
Wedding dress [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
With it’s elegant, attractive and especially modern look which achieves to look timeless at the same time, it is surely a choice made by a lot of brides to be. It is made out of satin, which makes it to have a beautiful flow. It has a bateau neckline, beaded straps, making it look expensive, as well as formal. Also, a belt is made out of beads with organza tie, which you could say, lifts the dress up.
Wedding dress [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
For us, the most beautiful and most special part of the dress is most definitely the back. It is open and it flawlessly rounds up the whole dress. Bride opted for a veil that perfectly matches the dress. With it’s minimal design and bride’s loose hair it has a really nice flow. The whole combination is complemented with glitter shoes and earrings.
Shoes [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]

She made bride’s make up quite minimal, with emphasis on the eyes and light smokey eyes. Lips were in their natural shade, and peachy shades were used for the blush. Jacqui made the hair wavy and of course, beautiful. Pretty nice and minimal, right?
Flower girls [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
Flower girls wore dresses that were from princessly.com store. Dresses were in a beautiful shade of gray, having a really unique design. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that the upper part is made out of lace, and the lower part is modernly designed by having 3d roses. The whole dress is fully lined so it’s not against the skin at all. Back is opened in a heart shape, giving a really fun and playful look. The whole dress i completed with a black satin bow around the waist. Girls wore comfortable flats decorated with a bow and they all had little red bouquets. Pageboy had a super cute suit combined with a red bow tie.
Bridesmaids [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
Bridesmaids also had dresses in a similar tone, they were long and decorated with a bow around the waist. They fitted the whole minimal wedding concept perfectly. Because the wedding had all red flowers, the bridesmaids had bouquets made out of red roses.
Groom’s suit was a navy tux with a black satin lapel. Niall wore a red dickie bow, and the groomsmen wore platinum bow ties to match the girls. The suit was so elegant, refined and timeless, perfectly fitting the wedding theme. And what certainly lift the whole suit to a higher level were personalized cuff links bought on Cufflink.ie page.

One of the most important, and maybe among the most stressful things while organizing a wedding is choosing a perfect photographer. But, luckily, that wasn’t a problem for the newlyweds because they saw the pictures from sister-in-law Lisa’s wedding and the really liked them so they picked her photographer Emma, who made a ton of perfect pictures at their wedding as well.

Newlyweds really love to make their guestbook in a different and more unique way than the usual for the last few years. There are a lot of ideas out there, from photo album guest books where guests take their picture with Polaroid cameras, to the ones made like puzzles and many more. The newlyweds opted for a really creative idea in form of a caricature made by Niall O’Loughlin where all of the guests signed around it, making it really fun and great as a keepsake afterwards.

We all know that fine details are what separates a good wedding from a great one. They put a touch of uniqueness on a wedding like nothing else can, and can often leave a better impression on a guest then, for example, the food. We can see that in all red flower selection, party’s theme, custom made cufflinks, and a unique guestbook. But we simply must mention personalized candles with family crests on them. We haven’t seen this kind of detail so far, so you can see how much attention to details was put into planning this wedding. Candle zone is a place that personalizes candles in a pretty unique way. You can choose between 8 designs that will make your wedding more special and unique.
Bouquets [photo: www.weddingsonline.ie by Emma Russell Photography]
Along with personalized cufflinks and candles, bride and groom decided to personalize dressing gowns and socks as well, and they found those on Etsy. If you would like to personalize your wedding like Oriel Lawton and Niall Tynan, we would recommend Etsy as you will find tons of great ideas and inspiration. And of course, stores that can make your ideas come to life.

In the latest James Bond film, Spectre, 007 carries out his mission in Mexico, and Oriel and Niell opted for the same location to be their honeymoon destination. They said that it was luxurious and fabulous, and we believe them, because when you plan a superbly detailed wedding, you definitely save the best for last, and we can only imagine the fun they had in Mexico, continuing the James Bond experience that they had on their wedding day.

Athens, Georgia is where their love story started, so all the details were inspired by it. Terrapin beer was served, which is brewed right in Athens, and there were even details on cookies (can it get cuter?) made by a friend of the newlyweds, Britt Bass Turner. Blooming magnolia trees gave the venue a true southern look, and hydrangea spread that sweet, sweet scent.

The whole wedding was decorated in a rustic style; wooden tables were decorated with rich flower arrangements and candles, giving the a truly romantic vibe.

And that floral magic is created by the florist Mary from Vine and Branch Floral Design. Bride wanted something soft and feminine with an organic look, and Mary totally delivered! From the ribbons on the bridesmaid bouquets to the greenery on the farm tables, everything looked amazing! You can check out Mary’s work on her website or her Instagram page.
Wedding bouquet [photo: southernweddings.com by Lauren Carnes Photography]
Instead of a traditional choice of a huge cake, newlyweds opted for a more modern one; they picked several types of cakes. The bride wanted to show her love and respect for her grandmother, who used to make her hummingbird cake for birthdays, so she added it to the cake menu as well.
They also had cookies, which was made by amazing Kellie Moore, from Kellie’s Baking Co. And why we say amazing? Not only she created a signature recipe that appealed to Central Market, but her cookies have traveled as far as Russia. So it’s not surprising why couple wanted her for the job.
Cookies [photo: southernweddings.com by Lauren Carnes Photography]
As the couple wanted to give this cookies a unique touch, they asked their friend Britt Bass Turner, an abstract artist known for her playful paintings full of movement, to draw some designs on them. And we must admit the cookies looked almost too cute to eat!
Wedding decor [photo: southernweddings.com by Lauren Carnes Photography]
As for the wedding dress, we have to admit that the bride was stunning. Beautiful lavish dress by Misdress embroidered with lace and decorated only with a single strap that is tied on the back, made the bride look like a royal. She rounded the whole combination with gold glitter shoes, from the bhldn store. A little bit of vintage design fits perfectly for this wedding, and glitter gives it a touch of fun. Do these shoes remind you of Disney cartoons? Maybe Cinderella would prefer these instead of crystal ones?
Wedding dress [photo: southernweddings.com by Lauren Carnes Photography]
Wedding photos are the only tangible thing you keep from your wedding, they are something you will cherish for years to come. Wendy and her partner opted for Lauren Carnes Photography, and she did an excellent job capturing beautiful portraits, candid moments and detail shots that truly tell the story of their wedding day.

We have to admit that this wedding had a lot of touching elements, making it not only romantic, but warm and fairytale-ish. We can almost smell the magnolias, a light breeze, taste the hummingbird cake, and hear the bride’s sorority sisters sing traditional wedding songs.
We wish this beautiful couple all the luck and happiness in their marriage!

The couple was searching for an urban setting to give their wedding a unique flavor, and since they loved the restaurant that overlooks the bridge and sometimes uses it for celebrations, Wewatta Bridge came out as a perfect venue choice.
This former railroad bridge was completely transformed into a sophisticated wedding celebration venue, with light installations, plenty of industrial-inspired rentals and cute potted succulents.The couple really made sure that everything is perfect to the last detail.

As both of the grooms opted for shades of blue and purple for their attire, James wore Ted Baker suit, and Harrison Armani Collezioni suit with a printed tie, the perfect choice was to combine them with lavender color, and flowers in shades of green.
Boutonnieres were made out of succulents, which is really trending for the last few years. Beside bringing freshness, it is also a great way of avoiding using traditional flowers. And it’s perfectly blended into the whole story. Why do we say story? If you take a look at Amy Caroline’s photos, you will see that the flower girls had headpieces from same flowers, and their baskets were decorated with lavender, succulents and rosemary. Lenita and Auralie Hartman were in charge of this note of freshness.

One of the “most important” things on a wedding is surely the food, which, we have to say, sounded perfect. Crab cakes, salmon en croutr, duck meatballs and various salads have most definitely thrilled the palates of all the guests and foodies there. And for those with a sweet tooth, macaroons, chocolate cakes and a blueberry cake took care of their desires. And the blueberry cake has been chosen by the newlyweds as their main one that they cut together.
We believe that along with the beautiful wedding, guests also enjoyed in a beautiful dinner which was held in Coohills that has an open kitchen and modern menu. Chef Tom Coohill opened this restaurant, and since the opening received nothing but praises. Also, Tom hosted the Taste of Iceland in Denver in 2012, 2013 and 2015 and was invited to be a guest chef at the 2014 Food & Fun Festival in Reykjavik, Iceland. Impressive, right?

For the flower girls they opted for stunning grey Princessly dresses (Misdress) made out of beautiful material that looks almost 3D. Although it’s not visible on photos, dresses have a heart shaped cut on the back and a satin bow in the same color as the dress. Simple sandals and headpiece really rounded up the whole combination and made it special. These flower girls dresses can be bought in our store, and best of all, it can be made in many other colors of your choosing to fit in your wedding theme. All you need to do is contact us for color chart and/or sizing recommendations.
