Stephanie’s mother made her exquisite wedding gown. “She has made a lot of my attire for important occasions throughout my life, from homecoming court to prom dresses, so it was only right that she make my wedding dress,” says the bride.

The modern, elegant design of the Clinton Presidential Center was the perfect reception venue. “We were immediately sold on the beauty of the open space and the windows in the great hall,” says Stephanie.

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 bride handmade the wedding programs which also served as fans!

What is that gorgeous flower in the center of the bouquet? A Protea King flower, shipped in from Africa! Designed by Pigmint Florist.

Don’t you just love this perfectly candid first look?

LC_41

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

LC_45

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.

LC_63

LC_64

LC_67

LC_68

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

LC_69

The furniture for the wedding display was refurbished and hand painted by the bride.

LC_70

LC_71

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

LC_72

LC_73

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.

LC_74

Such fun! The groom’s father restored this bright yellow 1977 Jeep Wrangler for the getaway car.

Wow! With so many personal touches, this self-designed wedding was truly the vision of the bride and groom.

Warm wishes to Lindley and Caleb! We hope your years together reflect the beauty and thoughtfulness of this special day.

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.
