Grey Likes Weddings

One of our newest Grey Collective members, Vitalic Photo, sent over this John’s Island Florida Wedding that we just WISH we had been invited too. Our dang mailman…the invitation must have been misplaced in transit. But really, Alicia and Steve’s wedding is so what I think of when I imagine East Coast Florida weddings–soft, oceanic, ethereal, and bedecked in tuxedo clad men. A perfect event in my mind.

I don’t know what it is about southern weddings…but they are always so charming. It must be the combination of meaningful traditions and a classic aesthetic that never goes out of style. Photographer Ali Harper, who’s joining the Grey Collective, captured all Natalie and Conar’s beautiful wedding images on film (have we mentioned we love film? We have. Oh, okay. So you know, then?). This is our absolute favorite type of wedding: timeless and elegant. Want to see more of this wedding? You can head here to Ali’s blog!

And, my sweet Tennessee brides, were you wondering how this wedding got so pretty? You ought to call of the lovely Mary Alice of A Delightful Day. Her event design savvy helped put all of this together!

I love what photographer Ali shared about her bride and groom: Natalie and Conar were married in the town Natalie grew up in — Gallatin, Tennesse — and it had the best small town charm, just like you’d expect. They had quite honestly one of the most gorgeous fall days you could ask for, and filled the tiny downtown chapel at dusk with their dearest friends and family. One of my favorite moments of the day was getting to witness Conar open up the gift his bride gave him moments before their first look… a set of embroidered handkerchiefs. That sweet token, along with a handwritten note made all of us stop and simply take it all all in. After all the “big” things have been planned on a wedding day, I always find that it’s usually about the love in the little things that become so very meaningful…

It’s almost Christmas, darlings! I’ve got loads of gifts in my trunk that need wrapping, groceries to buy for Christmas goodies, and of course, last minute shopping! But where would be without a daily dose of well styled love? Today, a very special winter wedding we’ve been waiting to share with you. This is just the perfect week for some bridesmaids in boots and a bride’s fur caplet! Oh…and tuxedos. You know I love tuxedos.

Very special thanks to Anastasia Photography for letting us feature this wedding!

Just wait until you check out the images from Hanna and Corrie’s Stolkholm wedding. First off, have you ever seen a sweeter groom? I had to share with you his reaction as his bride walked down the aisle…and a snapshot from their speeches! Hanna and Corrie are both models, so their seaside affair, while simple and understated, includes some fabulous pops of color that are reminiscent of Sex in the City (ahem…did you see those bridesmaid dresses together?).

Very very very special thanks to Two Brides Photography for sharing such beautiful work with us!
