With so many choices at our finger tips with things like Instagram and Pinterest feeding our every wedding whim, it’s a wonder we can make any decisions at all when it comes to wedding planning. We all want our big day to be representative of who we are, but how do you steer clear of a basic wedding and stay unique?
Robin and Marc are a fantastic couple to take a few pointers from. Not only did they mix multiple styles and themes together you can clearly begin to understand who they are as a couple just by glancing at a few of their adorable wedding photos, courtesy of Sylvia Krzysztofek. Check out every last one of their photos in the full gallery once you have taken a scroll through the rest of his post!
First Off Take Your Time Getting To the Alter
After 7 years of dating and moving 2,000 miles to be together, lovebirds Robin and Marc finally said “I do” on July 3, 2016. Though their whimsical forest wedding took place where they grew up in the Midwest, it had a sprinkling of LA — their new home.
Robin wore flowers in her hair and a bohemian lace dress among the natural tree and lake background. This was accented by their color scheme: dramatic berry and romantic blush, with hints of purple.
They didn’t skimp on the personal details. Guests were informed of the wedding via a stop motion video save-the-date, which spelled out the details in flowers. While the formal invitation featured an illustration of the couple.
Know Thyself!
Robin walked down the aisle to her favorite song, Tangled’s “I See the Light,” performed on a harp (and it’s even more befitting, as she works for the Mouse). Following were their personal vows and time capsule, filled with personal mementos they would rediscover in 10 years. There wasn’t a dry eye in the forest!
Create The Atmosphere You Are Most Comfortable In
The reception tent glowed with Edison bulbs and romantic lanterns that were very Hogwarts-esque. Each guest found their seat with a handwritten tag attached to a vintage handkerchief. The table numbers, written on geods, where themed by age with accompanying photos of the adorable couple. The centerpieces varied from flowers in vintage silver tea pots to cascading garlands.
The evening included a choreographed dance to “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” typewriter guest book, Polaroid photo booth, and late-night donuts. And to continue the celebration, the couple recreated a photo from both of their parents’ weddings and presented the side-by-sides as thank you gifts. Put simply, it was an affair to remember.
