Wedding Ideas

Three cheers for this lovely DIY wedding!

Brittany and Casey wed at Heights Theatre and Art Gallery in Houston, Texas, United States. “We love seeing great movies together and loved the idea of getting married in a movie theatre. It had a great feel with the artwork and it was located in the Heights where we first moved in together,” says Brittany.

The couple chose to have a DIY wedding with a movie theme and blue and red details. Brittany explains, “We tried to play off the movie theme with the decorations and made this into a total DIY wedding. I bought and made my own flower jars for the tables. I made my bridal bouquet when I had found I couldn’t get the peonies I had ordered in time. On Etsy people sell bouquets made out of antique brooches. I decided to make one by going to forever 21 and buying bracelets and taking them apart, rings, pins, etc.”

But the biggest and absolute cutest DIY project the bride undertook was to fold thousands of paper cranes. She explains, “I folded a thousand paper cranes for our ceremony backdrop. I had heard of the idea before and absolutely fell in love with it. I bought a huge stack of 12″ by 12″ paper from Michael’s and cut each page into four 6″ by 6″ squares and folded each into a crane, and then strung them together using beads, fishing string and a needle. It took several months! My awesome friends hung them on the alter before the wedding.”

“I also found a cute fingerprint guestbook on Etsy and decided to make my own with a movie theme, I decided to go with the Up Movie house with the fingers being the balloons. I bought a frame at Michael’s and I drew the house myself on paper with fine tip markers and got finger paint and picture holder stands from Michael’s.” Brittany adds, “The art inside this place was incredible and was a total compliment to our theme and creative personalities.”

Bravo job Brittany and Casey. Also congratulations and thankyou for sharing your wedding pictures with One Stylish Bride.

Elegant, sophisticated, intimate, romantic and utterly classy - that’s Moscha and Nikos wedding in a nutshell.

The breathtaking duo wed at San Giorgio dei Greci Church, followed by their reception at Ca’Sagredo in Venice, Italy. Ca’Sagredo is a 14th century Palace that has been declared a national monument and preserves the stunning untouched beauty of an ancient noble residence. The amazing venue sits majestically on the banks of the Grand Canal and consists of a private palazzo, a noble residence, a museum, and a luxury hotel.

The couple picked this wonderful location and venue for a secret elopement and managed to style and co-ordinate their wedding impeccably, but it’s little wonder given that the bride is a talented wedding planner for Stella and Moscha. They did an absolutely amazing job, don’t you think?

Andrea & Marcus captured the moody and romantic wedding pictures.

Major congratulations Moscha and Nikos, we adore your wedding pictures and wedding styling.

Here’s a stunning couple that’s got some seriously impeccable taste.

Kelly and Derek tied the knot at St. Clements Anglican Church, followed by their reception at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The couple chose “beachy chic” as their wedding theme and incorporated it tastefully throughout their wedding day. They included starfish, lanterns, surfboards, a blue and white colour scheme, and even a yacht club.

Kelly wore a Mikaella wedding dress and Badgley Mischka shoes.

The couple kindly answered some questions about their chic wedding day….

What was your favourite wedding moment?

Kelly: “The entire day was so amazing I don’t know if I have one specific favourite moment. Saying our vows was probably the most emotional part of my day, and getting a dead mouse and trap stuck to me dress was probably the funniest.”

Derek: “The moment I saw my bride for the first time when she walked up to the front steps of the church.”

What did you like most about planning your wedding?

Kelly: “I loved all our beach themed details, the starfish, lanterns, surfboard – all the little elements that reflected both Derek’s and my personalities and passions. But 14 months to plan was far too long and you end up wanting the whole thing to be over. If I could do it again, I’d do six months max.”

Derek: “Having all our plans and decisions that we had made while planning the wedding day come together leading up to and during the wedding day.”

If you could give future brides and grooms one piece of advice, what would it be?

Kelly: “Include your groom and create a day that reflects the two of you as a couple. Don’t worry about what other people did at their weddings or what family wants – make it about you and your fiancé. Include the elements that you want and don’t stress out about family or other people’s expectations.”

Derek: “Make your bride/groom’s and your desires the most important factor when making decisions about the wedding.”

Congratulations Kelly and Derek, we adore all your beautiful wedding pictures. Best wishes for the future!
