Real Wedding: Laura Sessoms & Ben Grimes

December 20, 2011 by weddingsar

Laura Sessoms & Ben Grimes were married at the Terry House in Little Rock. As a bridal stylist, Laura had insider insight when it came to planning her own wedding. This real wedding is full of unique and personal touches, and a nature-inspired theme based on Ben’s pet name for Laura, “bird.”  Take a look. You won’t be disappointed!! These beautiful images were taken by Punam Bean Photography.

The bride wore a custom dress by New York designer Janet Nelson Kumar that included a navy satin belt. The blue and green hues of hydrangeas, sedum and Dusty Miller leaves created a unique bouquet.

A variety of birdhouses topped each table, many found at flea markets scoured during road trips between the cities where the couple resided during their engagement.

Laura and her father used blue Ball jars, green river stones, votive candles and navy ribbon to create lanterns that lined the aisle.

With all the navy accents, Laura had multiple “something blues,” including her satin heels. A vintage handkerchief emblazoned with an Arkansas map wrapped the stems of her bouquet.

Each bridesmaid carried a different bouquet of a single type of blue or green flower-thistle, hydrangea and more- with miniature bird nests inset. Vintage handkerchiefs wrapped the stems and sported each bridesmaid’s monogram.

A custom-made pair of lovebirds ordered via Red Light Studio on Etsy was detailed to resemble the happy couple and adorned a monogrammed layer cake.

Real Wedding: Jennifer Edwards & Ben Bricker

December 7, 2011 by weddingsar

This week’s real wedding is perfect for today, since we have snow on the ground! The beautiful winter wedding of Jennifer Edwards and Ben Bricker took place in Bella Vista. These amazing images are by the talented Benfield Photography.

Jennifer & Ben planned their winter wedding a bit differently. They opted for a morning ceremony, which in the end they say was one of their best ideas. They met in the early light before the ceremony to get these amazing shots.  The wedding is full of beautiful winter details, including burch, oak and sycamore from the Edwards’ family property as a personal touch. Floral sprays, white wintry bridesmaid dresses and wooden chargers are just a few. Scroll down to see how it all came together. We think it is absolutely GORGEOUS!!

 

Amazing, right?  And that multi-tiered cake with buttercream frosting??!!! Oh my. To read all about this winter wedding and see more images, check out our digital edition. Thanks again to Benfield Photography for sending this wedding our way!!!
