Jeff and Kate wanted an outdoor venue that would highlight the natural beauty of the bride’s home state of Arkansas. They found that Marlsgate Plantation offered the perfect introduction to southern hospitality for the groom’s Cincinnati family.

“The menu for the event was purely Southern. We wanted the food to be a reflection of the local produce,” says the couple.
The reception featured local duck, wrapped in bacon and served with plum dipping sauce, along with chilled shrimp, and grilled pears for appetizers. The guests also enjoyed a traditional Southern-style meal of pork tenderloin, sweet potato casserole, corn souffle, and local green beans.

Real Wedding: Britney Haygood & Aaron Greenfield

February 21, 2012 by weddingsar

Britney Haygood & Aaron Greenfield were married atop Mount Nebo State Park last fall. The orange and red hues of fall foliage and sky blue became the color palette for the event. The big sky views and natural setting made the whole wedding just breathtaking. Take a look at these gorgeous images by Stacy Kinzler Photography. You can see the whole story in our fall/winter issue that is online here.

 

Mt. Nebo is such a gorgeous backdrop for exchanging vows and Britney and Aaron added lots of personal do-it-yourself ideas, which became fun projects that they made with their families.  Thanks again to Stacy for the beautiful images!

Real Wedding: Rebekah Fess & Lucas Cooper

January 31, 2012 by weddingsar

Rebekah Fess and Lucas Cooper were married October 9th in Little Rock. You might recognize this sweet couple from our fall/winter digital edition, photographed by Ocken Photography, and we’ve added lots of images here you haven’t seen!!

“Something old” was an important part of the big event for Rebekah and Lucas, a home renovation expert. They share an affinity for historic homes, heirloom antiques and flea market finds, which made the Greek Revival-style Terry House, an 1840s estate in downtown Little Rock, a natural choice as their wedding and reception venue. They played up the historic style of the home well by adding lots of vintage chandeliers and heirloom antiques. They are just the cutest couple….scroll down to see these fabulous images by Ocken Photography & how all those historic elements came together and made their event so personal to them. Enjoy!

 

What a sweet couple! Love all these images? So did we!! See this wedding and others in our fall/winter digital edition. Thanks again to Bob Ocken for the amazing images. You rock!

Thanksgiving Inspiration

November 22, 2011 by weddingsar

Our fall/winter issue is now online and on newsstands just in time for the holidays, and we are very thankful. Yay! We’ve had this new blog in the works for a while now, and it’s so exciting that it’s up and running. We can picture all you cute girls surrounded by your family over the Thanksgiving holiday looking thru page after page and getting lots of ideas for your big day. What are your holiday traditions? How far do you travel for Thanksgiving? Going to any weddings over the Thanksgiving holiday? Isn’t this outdoor ceremony image perfect for this time of year?!

The cute save the date from Something Blue Paperie & the Kate Spade New York June Lane gold accent plate from Dillard’s were great starting points for our “Earthy Elegance” element in the new issue. We used these images as a starting point and made a little Thanksgiving table inspiration board for y’all. Enjoy!

Cheers & Happy Thanksgiving!!
