When it comes to unique weddings, this Seattle wedding photographed by Carly Bish Photography dominates!

Photographer Carly had this to say…

“Aaron and Tom were married at the super funky, colorful, comfortable space of Urban Light Studios in downtown Seattle. Their celebration was put together on the backs and love of family and friends. While the bridesmaids designed the invitations and baked delicious cake pops, another friend with a talent for barbecue cooked a feast for all their guests. Tom’s mother designed the florals, including the bouquets and boutonnieres, while Aaron created the gorgeous altar hanging for their ceremony.”

Carly also added, “The amount of love for Aaron and Tom was so evident at their wedding – it almost overwhelmed. Top it off with their fun-loving, joyful spirits, and you end up with one unforgettable wedding day.”

Congratulations Aaron and Tom and thank you for sharing your wickedly gorgeous wedding pictures.

Raise your hands if you love unique whimsical backyard weddings!

That’s definitely the vibe we’re feeling from Katherine and Douglas’s Fort Worth, Texas wedding, which was photographed by Dorothy Gautreaux Photography. Dorothy had this to say…

“The Bride was on a low budget and used her creativity, vintage taste and DIY details to stay within $10K. She married on her aunt’s beautifully landscaped property aiming for a whimsical backyard wedding vibe.”

We asked Katherine what was her favourite moment? “When I saw my groom and husband-to-be during our ‘first site’. It was such a special moment we shared.”

What was the colour combination for the wedding? “Ivory, navy and fuchsia.”

What made your wedding unique? “My wedding was in a backyard so that was a very unique factor. Our ceremony music was also unique – my bridesmaids and I walked down the aisle to Priscilla ahn’s ‘dream’.”

What was your biggest challenge? “Picking out a bridesmaid dress for my girls was a challenge. It was so hard to find a dress that fit my theme, style, personality and budget!”

Did you DIY and details? “My Dad cut a log for me to make the stumps for my centerpieces. I also went to an antique store to buy my vintage bottles for my centerpieces.”

What’s your advice? “Try not to get too overwhelmed by DIY details. [Also] love your photographer and their style – I wanted my photos to be vintage inspired to reflect the theme of our wedding.”

Congratulations Katherine and Douglas and thank you for sharing your lush wedding pictures with One Stylish Bride.

We love the simplicity and purity of this wedding, which was photographed by Jen of Fondly Forever Photography. Here’s what she had to say…

“There were so many things I loved about Hilary and Alex’s sweet and simple Palm Springs wedding. I love that they got ready together, the mood was relaxed and they were both so happy. I love that they got married in a park, no frills, just a beautiful setting and a few close family and friends. Hilary’s sister Megan was a rock-star and did Hilary’s makeup made her bouquet and walked her down the aisle! Alex’s face when he saw Hilary walking towards him was so sweet and I couldn’t help but tear up when I heard the vows they wrote for each other. I am so happy I was able to be a part of such a beautiful day!”

It’s clear that this wedding isn’t all about the details, but more about declaring ones love and sharing it with supportive family and friends. The result is wedding pictures that are seriously touching and oh so chic and wonderfully relaxed…

Congratulations to the happy couple.
