Real Weddings: Lori + Jonathan

Welcome to the EAD Weddings blog! We are so excited to have you here. If you are a new visitor, we'd love for you to subscribe to our RSS feed and visit our sister site, EAD Living. Thanks for visiting and we hope you come back soon!

Everything about Lori and Jonathan’s wedding is pretty much perfect. We have puppies with handmade ribbon collars and leashes, the most beautiful DIY flowers, a light and fun color palette of yellow and gray, and an Austin, TX wedding venue that is so unique and different. And on top of that, Heather from Eclectic Images outdid herself with spectacular photography, capturing every little detail and special moment!

Lori’s gals were decked out in gray bridesmaids dresses by J Crew and wore yellow shoes of their choosing and yellow flowers in their hair.

Not to be outdone, Jonathan and his groomsmen are dapper in their Chuck Taylors and the couple’s three pups sported yellow ribbon collars and leashes.  Aren’t they precious?!

Married!

So, Brian and I have been married for one week now… wow!  I have a husband!  We’re down in Huatulco, Mexico for our honeymoon, but I wanted show you a picture from the wedding - I can’t wait to share all the details with you!

This picture was taken by my cousin - what a perfect shot!

With everything behind me (how crazy is that?!), one of the moments I remember most vividly from my wedding is dancing with my dad…

It took me a while to come up with the perfect song to play when I danced with my father at my wedding… First I asked him for any suggestions he had: “Stairway to Heaven. Obviously.” Clearly this was not going to be the best way to go about finding the perfect song…

Things I suddenly find myself wanting

…that I didn’t even think twice about before.

Succulents in jars with burlap table runners.

Real Weddings: Alli + Jason

Alli and Jason’s Indianapolis garden wedding is full of personality. Jenny Grise of Grise Photography captured all of the wonderful moments, including a quite unexpected downpour during the ceremony!

The couple chose chocolate brown and green as their color palette and bridesmaids wore gowns of their choosing by J Crew.

Rethinking the Garter Idea…

No, I’m still not even *considering* having a moment like this at our reception:

But I’m having a hard time saying no to this one from Bleu:

Totally not what I think of when I hear the word garter. Love it.

Are you considering a garter?
