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!

Go bold for the holidays!

December 21, 2011 by weddingsar

Well, we’re not done bringing you inspiration for the holidays. We paired bold reds & deep chocolate browns and added a modern twist to create one of our fall/winter color palettes in our latest issue. Photographed by Nancy Nolan. For this color palette, we were inspired by a room designed by Tobi Fairley. We put together a few more images for the holidays, in case you are planning a wedding or a holiday party…or both!

The color and coral pattern on the china and napkin went perfectly with our inspiration room. Raynaud Cristobal Coral china from Murphy Long Design in El Dorado.

Aren’t these beautiful???! This was a really fun palette to put together. Donatello’s made the beautiful white ruffled cake and Distinctive Designs by Tanarah made two beautiful bouquet options for us.

Invitation and patterned coaster from By Invitation Only, Little Rock. Chocolate and red invitation plus Save the Date from Molly’s Paperie, Little Rock. Boutonniere from Tipton Hurst, Conway, Little Rock, North Little Rock.

Here are a few more images inspired by this look that we rounded up to help you plan your holiday party…Enjoy!

Cheers to you all, and to all a good party!!!!
