Sarah + Ryan

Sarah and Ryan’s beautiful celebration had every element that we love!  A bride and groom who are obviously madly in love, a strong and supportive family, and the kind of style that make the creative side of our brains go into overdrive.  Mason jars, vintage wood boxes, succulents and garden roses were just some of the lovely design elements that contributed to this dream of a country side wedding at Mildale Farm in Gardner, Kansas.  Sarah and her mother, Charlotte, had a major hand in all of the details from flower selection to invitation design. 

The bridal bouquet featured white peonies, juliet garden roses, flowering jasmine vine, white ranunculus, and astilbe.

The unique wedding invitations were created by Megan from Little Yellow Leaf who worked very closely with the bride.  Twine, vintage lace and a tree motif were some of the lovely elements of these invitations.

  

The bridesmaids carried hand tied bouquets that were more colorful versions of the bridal bouquet.  We added yellow ranunculus and other deeper pink tones for a more playful look.

 

The bride’s family had dozens of heirlooms that were incorporated throughout the celebration.  Family quilts were used as a backdrop to the custom photo booth provided by Lark Photography.

 

The groom created this stunning wood arch which fit in with the rustic surroundings perfectly.  We decorated the arch with floral pieces that coordinated with the lovely garden tones of the celebration.

We placed flowers and succulents in toolboxes provided by Sarah’s family that had been passed down through the family. 

Escort cards were created and designed by the bride to resemble vintage luggage tags.  We then hung the tags from twin with mini clothes pins. 

 

The beautiful cake with delicate sugar peonies was created by Rebekah Foster.

A big thanks to all of the fellow vendors who used their talents to help create such a beautiful affair.  Lark Photography for the lovely images that captured this beautiful day, Megan at Little Yellow Leaf for the invitation suite, Melissa Blayton for helping the ladies look lovely through the art of hair and makeup, Jack Stack Catering for feeding the masses, Jill from Moxie Catering for giving us a much-needed hand throughout the day, Rebekah Foster for creating a beautiful and delicious wedding cake, and countless others.

Jessica + Adam

When Jessica first contacted us, I knew immediately that we were going to make a great team.  She was set on creating a contemporary, yet very classy event modeled after the beautiful Viceroy Hotel and Resort in Santa Monica.  You can find some of the inspiration pictures here.  Jessica lives in Los Angeles, and she knew that she needed a little help finding just the right team of wedding vendors to make her wedding perfect.  This is where Hitched stepped in to help!  From creating some of the most beautiful and unique floral arrangements to hanging crystals and kermit mum pomanders over the dance floor, Jessica was one of our favorite and most unique brides yet!

Jessica’s stunning bridal bouquet was created using white garden roses, white peonies, parrot tulips and white ranunculus.  The wrap on the bouquet was accented with a couple of rhinestone strands.  Jessica wanted touches of bling throughout the ceremony and reception to bring to mind her home town of Las Vegas!

We used succulents, green kermit mums, gardenia leaves and green hypericum berries to create green monocromatic corsages.

Unique white contemporary vases with green spider mum pomanders set off the ceremony. Custom built modern black pedestals provided by the talented Carolyn at Ultrapom.

Instead of tossing petals down the aisle, the flower girl spread whole green kermit mums in a tiny black basket.

Custom stationary created by Megan at Little Yellow Leaf helped to tie the entire wedding together.  We at Hitched found several contemporary frames that we painted black to display directions and the seating chart.

Place settings were created using a bright green apple with a leaf displaying the guest name.  We attached the leaf with a crystal pin.

We created a vast array of monocromatic centerpieces using succulents, trick dianthus, scabiosa pods, mini green hydrangea, green and white kale and green calla lilies.  Jessica really gave us the room to be creative and we think the results were amazing.

The absolutely amazing array of food and desserts were created by Olive Events.  Jessica and Adam had several food restrictions, but Olive Events was able to create an absolutely delicious and  delightful spread that included vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters alike!

The Terrace on Grand created the perfect setting for this urban affair.  Claire Ryser of Visionaire Studios captured everything from the grand moments to the elegant details flawlessly.  Thanks again, Jessica and Adam for allowing us to help create a wedding that shows off your sophisticated styles and your incredible relationship.

Mackinsey + Adam

Mackinsey and Adam were such a sweet couple to work with and both the ceremony and reception venues turned out beautifully. With a color palette of greys and purples this spring wedding had an overall classic feel with a rustic twist.

For the groom’s boutonniere we used ranunculus, hypericum berries and dusty miller.

The bridal bouquet included peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, hypericum berries and ruscus.

The bridesmaid’s bouquets included purple roses, hydrangea, ranunculus, carnations and dusty miller.

The 3 flower girls choose to carry moss pomanders instead of the traditional basket full of flower petals.

To help tie in Mackinsey and Adam’s color palette at the church we decorated the pews with purple, white, grey and green flowers and greenery.

On the front doors of both the church and the reception we made moss letters in Mackinsey and Adam’s initials.

Mackinsey and Adam choose 3 different types of centerpieces. A tall version included purple and white flowers with curly willow inside the clear glass curvy vase.

The other two shorter centerpieces included candles and bud vases on a wooden box for the one and a rustic lantern with coordinating flowers around it for the other. 

They wanted to keep the cake very clean and classic so we decided to use all white flowers including hydrangea and ranunculus and placed them perfectly around the top.

Congrats again Mackinsey and Adam and a big thank you to all the wonderful vendors we worked with including Claire Ryser for all the wonderful pictures!

Kara + Dan

Kara and Dan chose Memorial Day weekend to celebrate their wedding with their closest family and friends in Salina, KS. They met in college and then later in Med School finally deciding that they were each other’s better half. Since both Dan and Kara choose to do their residency in Salina they thought it would be the perfect location for their wedding as well.

Kara’s bridal bouquet included hydrangea, dendrobium orchids, freesia, jasmine vine and her favorite flower…tuberoses.

The bridesmaid bouquets included purple hydrangea, purple stock, deep purple carnations, wax flower, and seeded eucalyptus.

The pews at the church were decorated with coordinating purple flowers and place in mint julep cups.

Up at the altar we placed a medium-sized floral piece on each candelabras to bring in their purple and turquoise color scheme.

The unity candle was surrounded by purple/turquoise dendrobium orchids for a simple but elegant pop of color.

The larger reception held for their many family and friends was held at the Sheraton there in town. For their centerpieces we decided to go with a few different options to give an overall look of variation and height.

The tall centerpieces included white hydrangea, purple stock, deep purple carnations, purple/turquoise dendrobium orchids, and curly willow both inside the vase as well as gracefully coming out of the top to give the piece extra height.

For the low round centerpieces we wrapped each vase with green ti leaves and then topped them off with white hydrangea, purple tulips, deep purple carnations, blue thistle and seeded eucalyptus.

As a third option we had a centerpiece made out if many different types of bud vases and various sizes of pillar candles to really set off the mood and overall feel of a wedding. This centerpiece really looked great when the lights were dimmed and the dancing was happening in full force!

Congrats again Kara and Dan…Jessica and I wish you a wonderful and happy life together! Also a BIG thanks to Jamie at in full bloom photography who did an amazing job capturing everything that day…..check her out! (Thanks again Jamie!)

Vanessa + Brian Part 2

 

As Vanessa and Brian walked back down the aisle to the sound of numerous bells ringing aloud from their family and friends, they hopped upon their vintage yellow tandem bike, with the help of a few from the bridal party and made it through the gardens and on down the street. Though the bicycle didn’t really need any decor due to the perfect condition and matching color we placed a small floral piece up front and a “Just Married” on the back.

The reception was filled with many personal touches including all the pieces we used as centerpieces. We used a mixture of carnival glass which was a family heirloom to serve a vases for the all of the tables. We also had a variety of doilies scattered around each piece to help tie in the “vintage feel”.

The centerpieces had a variety of flowers in them including roses, ranunculus, dusty miller, billy balls, bupleurum, football mums, succulents, queen ann’s lace and scabiosa pods.

Another personal decor item that Vanessa wanted to add to the wedding was wheat in remembrance of her father who was a wheat farmer. Besides adding it to her bouquet we also made a horse shoe shaped wheat wreath that hung in the front entrance of Simpson House for a symbol of good luck to the couple.  

Jill and Wes from Moxie Catering as always did an outstanding job with filling Vanessa and Brian’s wishes for eclectic comfort food. Besides being absolutely delicious it had as you can see a beautiful presentation to it as well. 

Rebekah from Rebekah Foster Cake Artist made a custom yellow and white cake that was inspired by the lace on Vanessa’s dress. To tie in Vanessa and Brian’s love for bicycles we made them a tandem bike cake topper out of wire and vintage buttons.

The rest of the night was full of laughter and dancing. A big thanks to Richard from All Ears Mobile DJ who did an awesome job keeping them groovin all night long! 

 

Congrats again Vanessa + Brian! We absolutely LOVED working with the both of you and wish you both only the best! (Ohh yeah….and just so you know every time I see anything bicycle related I think you guys!
