When I first talked to Echo on the phone, I was so excited. I immediately loved her and I hadn’t even officially met her yet. I don’t think any bride could have been any sweeter  and easier to work with. Then come to find out later, I actually went to school with her fiance, Zach! This made it such a fun wedding!  They absolutely fit so perfectly together.

My favorite moment of their wedding was when everyone was on the steps getting ready for the send off. I looked down from the steps and saw just the bride and groom down on the dance floor under the canopy of lights all lit up dancing to a slow song.  It was one of those movie moments where you sigh and think all is well with the world at that very moment. Ah amor!!

Are you dying over this cake? It was done by Karen at Sweet Cakes. All sugar roses!

The flowers were all done by Botnaicals in St. George.

The pictures are by Jason McGrew Photography. And as always, look amazing!

The Entrada event lawn and event center.

Other the the wind and alittle bit of light rain ruining our original set up plan, this wedding turned out wonderful! And I am so grateful we got to be apart of it!

Hope you like it!

I loved every detail of her wedding! Lots of the theme and overall look came from Anthropologies new wedding website, which is totally her! I think I loved this wedding so much because Kortney has such great style, knew what she liked and went with it!

We used over 40 vintage umbrellas over the reception area. Each one was totally different and unique. This detail made the biggest wow factor. I loved it!

The flowers were done by Bloomers. They were all a difference eclectic mix of great finds the bride found.  Doing a vintage eclectic mix flowers doesn’t happen by chance, OH NO! But I’ll show you how to do it on another post at another time.

Love this bouquet! I loved the tweed accent on the bridal wrap and the tweed leaf on the boutonniere.

I love using indoor furniture for weddings. And this wedding had some great velvet sofas, wingbacks, desks, doors you name it. This green sofa was my favorite.

One of my favorite sections of the whole wedding. The cake table display. I love the yellow desk with the blue door. It is fun to use something other then the traditional cake table to display your cake.

The cake was done by the brides friend Kelly Larson.

This is the lemonade stand. The cutest part about this is that this stand is actually a door on 2 saw horses that the bride father made for her. Makes it such a sweet additional to have your dad have a hand in your wedding decor.

I loved the fabric used throughout the wedding. We went to the fabric store and came home with pounds of amazing fabric. It took hours of sewing in my living room but all the fabric pulled little pieces in together. They were the custom made curtains and through pillows on the sofas.

All the food was done by Simply Delicious in St. George.

The sign in area was fun with a sofa for the gifts, a old screen door to display pictures and an old white table for the actual sign in. Guest left cards in a suitcase and signed into an adorable little velvet book.

I love her dress from BHBN. It fit the look of the wedding perfectly.

Thanks for letting me be apart of your wedding and the great friendship we’ve made! You guys are amazing!!

• It can be really convenient to bring some pre-printed self adhesive address labels or cards with your contact information. This can save a lot of time when you want to sign up for contests or to get more information from a vendor you fall in love with.
• Bring a pen and print very clearly when registering for contests or to receive additional information.
• You may want to have your checkbook handy in case you decide to book a vendor or services, or to hold dates with a deposit.
• MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHECK THE REFUND POLICY AND READ THE CONTRACT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU GIVE PAYMENT OR SIGN ANYTHING.
• Be sure to collect any information that interests you so that you can take it home to look over again when you have the time.
• If you aren’t available on the day of the show, then send someone close to you. Perhaps your mother,sister or a friend to register you for prizes and to collect information about the services you might be interested in.
• Wearing your pink wrist band, given to all bride-to-be, will get you special attention at the show.
• Perhaps your fiance will be willing to attend with you, but only IF he is interested. As many as 30% do attend,so he won’t be the only one there!
• Make sure that you arrive at least one hour prior to the time of any fashion show that you want to see. Seating is first come-first serve.

And most important of all,

MAKE SURE TO COME SAY HI TO US!!! Are are in booth #19! We cant’ wait to meet you.

This was a couple from back east. The bride grew up here so they needed someone to be there eyes and ears in St. George. This bride was an absolutle doll. I wish they lived closer. I LOVED talking to her on the phone.  The bride used to work at Bloomers, so flowers were her top priority.

PS-Look close. The groom totally does a standing back tuck!

ENJOY!
