Unfortunately, the bride fractured her foot just three months before the wedding and had to closet her heels. Instead, she opted for a pair of Vans sneakers which reminded her of the Vans she wore the first time she met Doug!

The couple’s favorite part of the day? “Getting to see Doug after not being able to all day. He’s my best friend, and I was getting impatient! My favorite memory was sharing our vows with each other,” said the bride. The groom said, “Seeing Brittany finally walk down the aisle in her dress, and the entire ceremony.”

Brittany’s vision for the day as a “fuss-free, woodland fairytale” is captured perfectly in these unique cake toppers.

spring/summer real weddings 2014: kelsi & richard

March 21, 2014 by weddingsar

Richard and Kelsi were married on October 12, 2013 at The Barn at Twin Oaks Ranch in Dardanelle. This whimsical and romantic wedding had a blush, gold and cream color scheme, with plenty of glittered accents. The couple made hand-painted signs, chalkboards, the flower girls’ dresses, favors, framed quotes and several other personal details. The bride’s favorite detail was her bike, which the groom painted blush and glittery gold, topped off with a basket of flowers. See our favorite photos from the light-hearted, unique occasion, captured by Melissa McCrotty Photography:


Sweet flower girls!

Unique centerpieces add playfulness to the reception.


This bride did a fabulous job of creating her dream wedding: whimsical and romantic, indeed!

mellow yellow photography: rueben + wendy

January 20, 2014 by weddingsar

Mellow Yellow Photography captured the winter wedding of Rueben and Wendy a few weekends ago at the Kingdom Hall in Bentonville. Their portraits took place in downtown Rogers, and their reception was at the Springdale Holiday Inn. The group was all over Northwest AR that day! Everything in the wedding was DIY, from the flowers to the lace on their cake. We love the white and silver details, fit for the season.  Check out a few of our favorites from the day:

a southern tradition: going green

May 1, 2013 by weddingsar

We are so happy to have Jessica Zimmerman, owner of  A Southern Tradition in Conway, on the blog. We’ve got a great Q&A for you today. Stay tuned in the coming months as Jessica shares her wedding planning behind-the-scenes tips, trends and inspirations. So happy to have you, Jessica!

 

Any wedding where the couple tries to decrease the impact of their event on the planet is considered a Green Wedding.  An eco-chic wedding can be every bit as beautiful as a conventional wedding.  There are so many ways to make your wedding green without sacrificing your own personal wedding style.  There is a shade of green for everyone and every green choice makes a difference!

A few ways A Southern Tradition can help you go green!

1.  Invitations

There is a lot of paper used for weddings:  save-the-dates, invitations, RSVP cards, seating programs, menu cards, seating cards, thank you cards, and more. Traditional paper making creates a large amount of waste and is a very energy-intensive process. We are thrilled to offer our gorgeous letterpress line which uses only bamboo paper. Bamboo is a truly sustainable and renewable resource. It’s the fastest growing plant on this planet; it grows without pesticides or fertilizers; and it requires very little water to grow. Bamboo also makes (hands down) the prettiest paper out there.

{above invitations are available at A Southern Tradition}

2. Décor

One of the easiest ways to make your wedding eco-chic is to rent items for your ceremony and reception décor.  This eliminates the one-time use items that many brides have when they purchase vases and other items new.  A Southern Tradition has a 6,000-square-foot building full of items available for rent.  Many of our items look like something you would go out and purchase.  The great thing about renting is you don’t have to find a place to store all the items when your wedding is over!

{votives above are available for rent A Southern Tradition}

3.  Candles

If you are having the reception at night, try using candles for table lights.  This saves on the electric cost, plus it’s way more romantic!

{the candles above are available for rent at A Southern Tradition}

4.  Flowers

Many of our clients choose to donate their fresh florals to a church or nursing home after the wedding.  This way, more people can enjoy the beautiful arrangements.  Also, try to use flowers that are in season, otherwise the flowers will have to be imported.

{log centerpiece above available for rent at A Southern Tradition}

5.  Food & Drink

Don’t buy paper products.  Rent glass dinnerware.
