Travis & Lauren Whiting

As you all know I love looking at wedding pictures. When a friend gets married I love to see what they did. This wedding was just beautiful. It is difficult for a wedding to seem classy and fun in a gym but this certainly did that plus.

Finding cute bridesmaid dresses that are still consdered modest in the LDS church can be difficult. I have been searching for a long time to find some for my upcoming wedding. These are adorable though. Slightly vintage and flirty, these dresses make all of the girls look great and still don't distract from the main couple.

I love this boquet! Even though it's not flowers it still bright and cheery. I love the X and O scrabble pieces. This is a DIY that I would suggest to anyone who is looking for a vintage DIY wedding. 

 These show a great cost effective way to do centerpieces that people are going to be talking about. Using the bottles and finding things similar to all of these centerpieces at thrift stores can help you have a more eco friendly wedding and help you stay in your budget a bit easier. I also love that the limited number of flowers looks great and is cost effective. These are perfect for this style of wedding!

Anyone looking to not do a traditional cake but still wants to cut the cake this is the way to do it! It's beautiful and fun while still giving you the traditional picture that your family will want and let you find a great cake topper as well! Also the cupcakes will make it easier because you can do multiple flavors and you don't have to cut and serve a cake.

The decorations for the ceiling and walls made me fall in love with the wedding. It was done in a church gym but because the decorations were done so well you were looking at them instead of the lines in the floor. These doors give this reception the feeling of age that a vintage wedding needs and still keeps it classy and almost mysterious. 

One of the most boring things for me at a wedding is going and getting food off of a normal table with a table cloth and maybe some bunched up around the plates. Using these with the patterned cloth makes me think of the old tea parties that I had with my grandma where we dressed up like princesses and ate sandwiches. This I think is beautiful and yet again helped pull in an even stronger vintage feel. It is a beautiful focal point of this reception.

I love small details like this. It's charming and king of reminds you as to why you are there and that it's a celebration.

I often times see pictures put on tables or up on a slide show. But this is more interseting to the eye and is part of the decoration of the room. The pictures are beautiful and deserve to be shown. I can't think of a better way to do it!

The lighting at this wedding is so spectacular. The mixture of the white lights, the paper ball lanterns and the chandeliers helped tie in the fun, mystical, vintage style of this entire wedding. I honestly am thinking about stealing this idea myself! It made this reception.

 

Congratulations to Travis and Lauren! It looks like your wedding was a blast and well done. It is inspiring to see someone make a wedding out of one of the most unromantic places that is so beautiful. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful life!
