Were you as enraptured as we were by the beautiful couple who graced the cover of our latest print issue of Weddings in Arkansas? If so, you’re in luck! Today we are offering you even more access to Brittany and Doug’s mountaintop ceremony with exclusive photos only featured here. Enjoy!
The coupled loved the secluded feel of the Whitney Mountain Lodge, not to mention the incomparable view!
Unfortunately, the bride fractured her foot just three months before the wedding and had to closet her heels. Instead, she opted for a pair of Vans sneakers which reminded her of the Vans she wore the first time she met Doug!
The couple’s favorite part of the day? “Getting to see Doug after not being able to all day. He’s my best friend, and I was getting impatient! My favorite memory was sharing our vows with each other,” said the bride. The groom said, “Seeing Brittany finally walk down the aisle in her dress, and the entire ceremony.”
Brittany’s vision for the day as a “fuss-free, woodland fairytale” is captured perfectly in these unique cake toppers.
We love the simple magic of this ceremony! Check out our latest print issue, available on local newsstands, or our digital edition for the full story on Brittany and Doug’s wedding. Thank you to the bride and groom for sharing your big day with us. Cheers to many years of marital bliss!

Want more of Katy and Parker’s romantic summer ceremony from our latest Weddings in Arkansas print issue? We’re sharing the gorgeous occasion with you here, along with exclusive bonus photos you can only find on the blog!
The bride wore a family heirloom antique tiara made of crystals and pearls.
The bride and groom rode in horse-drawn carriage from the bride’s parents’ home to their ceremony in the Calvary Baptist Church.
The couple was married beneath a curly willow chuppah woven with an abundance of peonies, hydrangeas, and roses in every shade of white and pink.
According to the bride, the couple was wed in “a beautiful, Messianic ceremony, blending our Christian faith and Jewish heritage.”
Katy’s vision for the wedding was that of a “whimsical magical fairytale,” she says, “a modern-day romantic version of Marie Antoinette.”
The bride’s cake was layered in flavors of raspberry, Italian creme, and white cake.
The groom’s cake was sculpted of chocolate tiers with a bold, black and white design and was topped with strawberries dipped in white chocolate.

Today we have a special treat to share with you – the summer wedding of Stephanie Duckworth and Robert Krummenacker, which was recently published in our latest Weddings in Arkansas print magazine, Edition One 2014. Below you will find the original photos from the print edition plus exclusive bonus photos only featured here!
Along with a stunning, yellow bouquet, the bride carried a bible down the aisle with photographs of both Robert’s and her parents tucked inside.
The incorporation of tulips were the groom’s one request, a symbolic tribute to his late father and to the memories they shared in Amsterdam.
From the couple, “We loved the ‘homemade’ simple look of our cake. It had three layers and flavors. Robert and I each picked one and our eight-year-old daughter, Destiny, picked the third.”
Instead of a traditional honeymoon, Robert and Stephanie shared a “familymoon” in Bermuda with their children.
We adore the sweet, personal details of Stephanie and Robert’s wedding! Here’s to many years of love and happiness!

Get ready! We have another real Arkansas wedding for you to explore!
On October 13, 2013, Sarah Tuller and Tyler Horne said their vows at The Garden Room on Dickson Street in Fayetteville. The couple celebrated their marriage amid vintage accents, the smell of home-baked pies and the tune of local music.
Mallory Berry of MGB Photo captured the event with a keen eye to detail. See our favorites below:
Great idea – opposite color schemes for the groom and his groomsmen!
(Psst…We think their casual vests and khakis would be perfect for a spring or summer wedding!)
Pies handmade by the family substituted for wedding cake.
A vintage suitcase held party favors handmade by the bride.
Soft, pastel bridesmaid dresses
A delightful rustic bouquet
The playfulness of this wedding rings with young love! A special “thank you” to the bride and groom for sharing your precious day with us!
