A colorful carnival setting, flirtatious attire, and treat-adorned floral designs make for an out-of-the-box, all-out-fun wedding celebration

Fair Games | Weddings in Arkansas | Fall/Winter 2016

“We just wanted to do something fun,” Tanarah Haynie, owner of Tanarah Luxe Floral, says of this mid-century-meets-colorful-carnival inspirational wedding setup. “We’ve seen a lot of organic, very serious inspiration on Pinterest and we wanted to have something that was poppy and more playful.”










With this thought in mind, the team of vendors (listed in the resource section) chose the carnival area at Burns Park as the backdrop for the day. Its vivid, whimsical feel ties in with the floral design, invitations, cake, and even the tulip table and red crystal-inspired stools. The park also allowed plenty of space for the Loblolly Creamery ice cream truck to park and serve up a signature berry sorbet.

The bride and groom’s attire was equally playful. “I wanted something that had a 60s vibe and was reminiscent of a young Marilyn Monroe for the bride’s dress,” event designer Rachel Haynes says. “I chose a fun and flirty throwback dress to carry the mid-century look throughout the shoot.” In the same fashion, a suit and bowtie ensemble, rather than a tuxedo, is a more casual approach to the groom’s attire.
