Two super talented ladies, Mary of Evie & Jr. Photography and Nicole of Roots Reclaimed, put it together. The duo decided to recreate a couples wedding day in the colours and style they fancied.

The idea to recreate a couples wedding day came from the fact that both Mary and Nicole were disappointed in their own wedding photos and felt that their photos didn’t capture their styles. They pondered how wonderful it would be if they could do a ‘take two’ on their wedding photos! From this the idea to recreate a couples wedding day was born.

The chosen couple, Natalie and Robert, just celebrated their Five-year anniversary and have 4 lovely children. Natalie used her original wedding dress because it was such a significant part of the original wedding day. Meanwhile, Robert kept it casual, but slightly spruced it up with a bow tie and vest.

Mary and Nicole comment, “We paid attention to the small details like little vintage keys, books, soda bottles and glass jars. We used vintage doilies to lie across the table for a runner and fabric to decorate the back of the chairs. The styled shoot really took on a life of its own as we came to know more about Natalie and Robert. We reused and repurposed just about everything we could find. The bamboo bike in our opinion and the flowers were a highlight of the day and celebration. They were whimsical and cute, and made a statement. [Also] Natalie and Robert are still so in love and have fun together and we think that the shoot really captured the bond between them.”

Thank you Mary and Nicole for sharing such gorgeous wedding inspiration with One Stylish Bride.

Stunning couple, Rhiana and Brian, chose to have a church wedding followed by a backyard picnic style reception. They held their charming reception in their friend’s backyard in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, United States.

The couple chose a wickedly cool Blue and Red colour scheme, as well as the world’s most adorable wedding cake, which they surrounded with strawberries and scrumptious looking pies.

The fabulous girls from Celebrations were responsible for the adorable table arrangements and floral designs.

Melissa Stallings Photography captured the day and remarked, “I had entirely too much fun getting to know this couple, from their County Fair engagement session to their laid back, home-style wedding. They made my job so incredibly enjoyable and I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to document their day.”

Congratulations Rhiana and Tray and thank you for sharing your wedding photos. Here’s a big call: This wedding is a new favourite for us.

Erin and Travis picked a fun origami and bright colours theme for their Colorado wedding held at Stone Mountain Lodge.

The couple chose the unusual wedding theme because when Travis proposed to Erin he used origami and Japanese tradition. There’s an ancient Japanese legend that promises if you fold a thousand paper cranes you will be granted a wish upon folding the last one.

Travis spent six months folding paper cranes and when he reached his final one, he wished for Erin to marry him. He proposed to her and she said “yes”. Together they then folded an additional three hundred paper cranes for their wedding decor. Crafty Erin also folded origami for the bouquets.

Dylan of Aventura Photo Video was on hand to capture the day and commented, “This was one of my favourite weddings ever. Erin painstakingly detailed her wedding so beautifully.”

We’re over-the-moon for this happy couple. Congratulations.

James Allen specialises in selling quality diamonds, gems and engagement rings online. They operate their store purely online, which allows them to cut overhead costs and focus exclusively on quality and service. This means you can get your hot little hands on top-notch wedding jewellery at a fraction of the price charged by bricks and mortar jewellery stores.

What’s more, their website has exclusive Diamond Display Technology, which allows you to interact with diamonds magnified in 360°.

We love that James Allen has G.I.A Graduate Gemologists on staff at both their Maryland and New York offices, which are available to answer all your questions at any time.

Plus all their diamonds are GIA, AGS or IGI certified. They even have experts that examine and hand select each and every diamond prior to shipment. Impressive quality control, huh!

James Allen also makes sure that their diamonds are conflict-free, which means that their gems were not obtained due to human rights abuses, child labor, violence, or environmental degradation. They ensure this by only purchasing polished diamonds from professional members of the diamond trade and by only having contracts with suppliers that guarantee that their diamonds are conflict-free.

Lets face it though; sometimes a girl wants to try on an engagement ring before she commits to it. Luckily James Allen totally sympathises and offers free shipping on all their items, a 60-day money back guarantee, and free ring resizing for 60 days after your purchase.

We’re involuntary sighing and swooning over their Designer Engagement Ring Collection, which features exquisite rings with lots of little diamonds and shimmering brilliance.

We’re also super keen on their Tension-Set Engagement Ring Collection. The tension ring doesn’t have any prongs holding the diamond in place. Instead, tension rings use the force and the tension of the ring to push against the diamond to hold the diamond securely in place. This type of setting creates the illusion that the center diamond is floating in the air. It’s absolutely perfect for the contemporary girl!

We also find the Gemstone Engagement Ring Collection totally irresistible. We think sapphires, emeralds and rubies are simply gorgeous, especially when paired with a diamond center stone. It’s wonderfully unexpected!

The blissful couple had the quintessential backyard vintage wedding with crisp white linens, rustic tablescapes, chandeliers hanging from tree branches, and loads of gorgeous friends and family.

Jimmy of Gideon Photography captured all the happiness and recalls, “Elizabeth and Taylor were one of the most enjoyable couples I have had the opportunity to photograph. Their backyard wedding was absolutely to die for.”

Major applause and congratulations to Elizabeth and Taylor! Also big thanks to Gideon Photography for sharing these wedding photos with One Stylish Bride.

Quinn LaCasse captured the beautiful photos and styled the playful shoot. Quinn remarks, “The one request that Crystal had was Vintage. She trusted my artistic style and left the rest up to my interpretation. I took it up a notch and created a modern approach on a vintage themed session. Staying true to the vintage attire and styling I kept my photographs bright and full of life to appeal to today’s modern bride and stay true to my own specific photography style.”

The dual location of the engagement session was downtown Atlantic Beach, Florida as well as Mayport, Florida where the St John’s River empties into the Atlantic Ocean.

The lovely proposal story explains the engagement session locations and the vintage theme. Tony proposed by surprising Crystal with a secret trip to the West Coast of Florida. One the final night of the trip, they travelled to Sanibel/Captiva Island. It was during a beautiful sunset that Tony got down on one knee and popped the question with a stunning vintage style engagement ring.

We think the vintage beach engagement shoot idea is genius. After all, who doesn’t love a day at the beach and a little old school elegance!

The cute couple met as infants in Madison, Wisconsin, United States. “Our parents forged a friendship that would last a lifetime. In fact, our mothers joked that when we grew up we would get married. Little did they know this would come to fruition, even after [Jason and his family] moved to Florida in the mid-eighties”, says Michelyn.

Michelyn and Jason were briefly reunited in 2005 in Tampa. This was followed by a hiatus in which Michelyn won the title of Miss Wisconsin USA and Jason became a Division 1 college basketball coach. It wasn’t until 2009 that their paths would cross again, yet this time romance blossomed. We vote for their first child to be called faith, fate or destiny!

Gorgeous Lindsay and JR wed at Camas Meadows Golf Club in Camas, Washington, United States.

The couple chose a Yellow and Grey colour scheme, a tented wedding reception with luxe chandeliers, and an incredibly cute cake table that was designed by One Divine Party and showcased an assortment of delicious treats.

We can’t help but love the fun vibe of this couple. We also love all the dancing that went on at the reception, but it’s little wonder given that the bride is a cheerleader for Portland Winterhawks and all her bridesmaids are various singers, dancers, and performers.

Big fat congratulations Lindsay + JR and thank you for sharing your wedding photos with One Stylish Bride.
