Our wedding theme was paper airplanes because of a short film my husband and I fell in love with. We also were never huge fans of flowers being the focal point, so using paper was fun and unique to us. It also made wedding planning easier not having to handle real flowers so we could get things done months in advance.
It was in the fall so we did use mini pumpkins for escort cards, and we drilled wholes in big pumpkins and put changing LED lights in them. We had paper airplanes on our cake, my necklace, and even on our bouquets and boutonnieres! Also instead of a book for people to sign, we made paper airplanes to later put in a big shadow box.
One of the easiest parts of our 15 month wedding planning adventure was finding my dress! I had gone to a previous shop but it was more so to have a better idea as to what I actually liked and flattered me the most. So once I got to Bombshell finding my dress was amazingly simple and quick! I think my dress ending up being the third one I tried on.
When I arrived to the venue the weather was still very on and off for rain like it had been all day. For the whole duration of the ceremony there was no rain, and the moment everyone got inside it was down pouring. It was absolutely fantastic. We had the luck of rain without being rained on!
We choose our venue to be a local Winery and Brewery. We choose this venue because it was nothing we had ever seen before and it was easier overall to have the food and drinks in house and specialty made.
Our ceremony spot was on the patio which had an outdoor fireplace.
Inside were tall walls, a pond, very open space and windows, rustic, and of course the bar hosted by the brewery itself was a perk. There was also a wine garden that we took some of our photos near. Choosing our venue is also great because we're always able to go back.
I slipped a note into my husbands tux a few days before the wedding. It said, "This is it, I'll see you soon. <3" I told my photographer while the ceremony was waiting to start to have him look in his inner pocket and to snap a picture. I later found out from friends in the audience that when she went up to him in front of everybody and were whispering, everyone was concerned that something was wrong. But it turned into a great surprise for everyone with one of my favorite photos of him.
I cannot emphasize enough to not be afraid to be who you are! Show those tattoos! If you want to have your princess ballgown with black nails go for it, it's your wedding!
XOXO,
Cori
