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.

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.

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.

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: lindley & caleb

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.

Below are some of our favorite images captured by Kaity Whitman of Photo Love. Keep an eye out for antique treasures, handmade elements, and lovely pastels.

The groom carved a jewelry box by hand for the bride’s “day of wedding” gift. Inside – a vintage gold “S” locket!

Instead of flower petals, the flower girl threw paper hearts punched from old vintage books.

LC_49

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.

Family heirlooms such as quilts, books, mason jars, and even a Great Grandmother’s old camera were essential decor accents.

Family members brought in homemade pies and other desserts, some made from famous family recipes! Name plates labeled each dessert and paid tribute to the baker.

behind the scenes : spring/summer tabletop 1

July 30, 2013 by weddingsar

 

 

We loved experiencing the set-up of the tabletops featured in our spring/summer 2013 issue. Event and floral designers from around the state shared their most inspiring creations–tables full of eclectic colors, the enchanting outdoors, and inspiration from the dazzling 1920′s. We’re taking you behind the scenes to the photoshoot! {photography by Nancy Nolan}

Here’s our first tabletop. It features bold colors, stripes, and a mix of fresh flowers.

Happy New Year!

January 4, 2012 by weddingsar

Happy 2012 everyone! We hope you are all having a fabulous new year already. Here are a few great {and colorful} ideas for your wedding.

This idea can be used with any color palette in mind, but we have to say we love the bold teals, blues and oranges. This makes such a pretty statement.

Forget the guest book that collects dust on the shelves and go with this colorful and graphic way to remember everyone at your wedding. Such a great idea!

What a bold color palette. The cake and invitations were made for each other! Have fun planning and congrats to all those who got engaged over the holidays!!!

Cheers!
