edition I 2014: oh happy day!

May 9, 2014 by weddingsar

InspiredBy_Edition1_2014

With spring and summer weddings just around the corner, we asked the team at Pigmint Flowers & Gifts to envision a setting—perhaps for a rehearsal dinner or small, intimate wedding—fit for a fun-loving bride and groom. Using the clean architecture of Springdale’s Fairlane Station as a backdrop, they created a bright, citrus-inspired fête.

See the images and story straight from Edition I of 2014, as well as many bonus photos! Prepare to be spring-inspired:

A small sideboard, made from a painted door and wooden slab, is the perfect spot to serve the light appetizers to guests. The Pink Piano garden roses, which are also used in the centerpiece arrangements, create a simple, one-flower bouquet, while cut kumquat branches carry over the citrus theme.

RP_aha_140314-8051

Preppy pinks, garden-inspired greens and imaginative shades of coral, peach, and amber create the cheerful palette. Using the floral colors as a starting point, Pigmint worked with Eventures to select linens and dinnerware to coordinate with the hues. The goal was to create a spectrum of shades within the palette rather than to match everything exactly. The dramatic contrast of brights against the black-and-white setting makes for a modern look. Barn-style doors at either end of the room open to invite guests to mingle indoors and outside.

RP_aha_140314-8052 RP_aha_140314-8057 RP_aha_140314-8060 RP_aha_140314-8061

The table’s three centerpiece arrangements feature Cherry Brandy standard roses, which have a coral orange exterior and open to reveal amber hues, as well as bright Pink Piano garden roses and kumquat branches grouped together in bleached wood containers.

Contemporary acrylic boxes hold popcorn to snack on before dinner is served. A variety of toppings, including Early Bird Catering’s signature dill seasoning, allow guests to personalize the treat to their liking.

RP_aha_140314-8082

Mary’s Rose, a rosemary-infused vodka lemonade made by Early Bird Catering, is a colorful signature drink. Lemon slices and mint sprigs not only add garnish to the glasses, but also additional flavor. Small polka-dot straws with letterpress jewel toppers mimic the setting’s color scheme.

The Fairlane Station sign hangs outside the main entrance.

spring/summer real weddings 2014: kasey & kyle

April 15, 2014 by weddingsar

We love the unique wedding of Kasey & Kyle. Red-and-white stripes mixed with light blue details create a festive circus vibe for the reception. The groom’s and groomsmen’s fishing lure boutonnieres play off of that color scheme while reflecting classic Arkansas culture. See our favorite photos from the day, captured by Erika Dotson Photography:

April 1, 2014 by weddingsar

Time for another real Arkansas wedding! You will be absolutely inspired from the unique and colorful details of this summer wedding. Lindley Summers and Caleb Snowden were married September 1, 2013 at the Stables on the Hill in Fayetteville.

The bride’s uncle performed all wedding music with his acoustic guitar, including the wedding march which he learned for the ceremony.

LC_50

Tying the knot!During the ceremony, the couple tied a fisherman’s knot to represent unity. They chose the fisherman’s knot because it is regarded as the strongest knot known to man. The rope will break before the knot will! The couples plans to frame the rope in their home as a reminder of their special day.

In preparation for the wedding, the couple spent weekends exploring flea markets and hand picking vintage treasures for wedding decor.

spring/summer real weddings 2014: kelsi & richard

March 21, 2014 by weddingsar

Richard and Kelsi were married on October 12, 2013 at The Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch in Dardanelle. This whimsical and romantic wedding had a blush, gold and cream color scheme, with plenty of glittered accents. The couple made hand-painted signs, chalkboards, the flower girls’ dresses, favors, framed quotes and several other personal details. The bride’s favorite detail was her bike, which the groom painted blush and glittery gold, topped off with a basket of flowers. See our favorite photos from the light-hearted, unique occasion, captured by Melissa McCrotty Photography:
