lance johnston weddings: cathey lee & ryan

July 28, 2015 by weddingsar

Just over a year ago, Cathey Lee and Ryan said “I do” at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church in Little Rock. Later, they celebrated at a gorgeous reception at the Country Club of Little Rock. The two met while attending Auburn University, where Ryan played football. To pay tribute to this special place, they incorporated their school colors into the reception send-off and the groom’s table. Cathey Lee describes their day as “Southern, classic, and elegant.” We couldn’t agree more! Enjoy all of these gorgeous photographs from Lance Johnston Weddings.

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.

edition I 2014: oh happy day!

May 9, 2014 by weddingsar

InspiredBy_Edition1_2014

With spring and summer weddings just around the corner, we asked the team at Pigmint Flowers & Gifts to envision a setting—perhaps for a rehearsal dinner or small, intimate wedding—fit for a fun-loving bride and groom. Using the clean architecture of Springdale’s Fairlane Station as a backdrop, they created a bright, citrus-inspired fête.

See the images and story straight from Edition I of 2014, as well as many bonus photos! Prepare to be spring-inspired:

RP_aha_140314-8016 RP_aha_140314-8044

A small sideboard, made from a painted door and wooden slab, is the perfect spot to serve the light appetizers to guests. The Pink Piano garden roses, which are also used in the centerpiece arrangements, create a simple, one-flower bouquet, while cut kumquat branches carry over the citrus theme.

RP_aha_140314-8051

Preppy pinks, garden-inspired greens and imaginative shades of coral, peach, and amber create the cheerful palette. Using the floral colors as a starting point, Pigmint worked with Eventures to select linens and dinnerware to coordinate with the hues. The goal was to create a spectrum of shades within the palette rather than to match everything exactly. The dramatic contrast of brights against the black-and-white setting makes for a modern look. Barn-style doors at either end of the room open to invite guests to mingle indoors and outside.

RP_aha_140314-8052 RP_aha_140314-8057 RP_aha_140314-8060 RP_aha_140314-8061

The table’s three centerpiece arrangements feature Cherry Brandy standard roses, which have a coral orange exterior and open to reveal amber hues, as well as bright Pink Piano garden roses and kumquat branches grouped together in bleached wood containers.

RP_aha_140314-8072

Contemporary acrylic boxes hold popcorn to snack on before dinner is served. A variety of toppings, including Early Bird Catering’s signature dill seasoning, allow guests to personalize the treat to their liking.

Mary’s Rose, a rosemary-infused vodka lemonade made by Early Bird Catering, is a colorful signature drink. Lemon slices and mint sprigs not only add garnish to the glasses, but also additional flavor. Small polka-dot straws with letterpress jewel toppers mimic the setting’s color scheme.
