Abby + Trent Fortson were finally able to have a wedding celebration with all of their family & friends on January 28th, 2022 at the new Allure on the Lake -- 366 days after their first wedding day. Getting to know these two leading up to their big day has been such a pleasure, and I'm so excited to finally share more of their love story. On one of our Zoom calls, Abby shared that they are big fans of the television series, The Office, and said they would love some of their video to represent a similar style. This was an editing challenge for me but it was super fun to create for these two! Hear from the Fortsons and their high-energy, fun-loving friends in this mini-doc. Congratulations Abby and Trent 🥂 🤍✨

A simple wedding can be held anywhere but we suggest using the same venue for both ceremony and reception. You can also look into all-inclusive venues that will take care of food, décor, photographer, alcohol, staff, guest accommodations and more. What could be simpler?

Consider mismatched wedding party dresses, and brides may want a gown with clean lines or even a tea-length dress.

Need vendors for your simple wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

A simple wedding sticks to the basics, doesn't go crazy on décor and keeps the guest list minimal. The venue should be somewhere that will look beautiful as is or with only a few extra touches or will require only a little DIY effort.

At a simple wedding, be very particular with your guest list. You really only need to invite your "A-list," aka your immediate families and closest friends. It will help your budget and less guests means more face time with each person. Consider a shorter timeline—this will help your budget and keep the celebration from feeling too formal. And only focus on the most important details, there's no need to calligraphed signage at a simple wedding!

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your simple wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.

A winter wedding is simply a wedding held in the winter that truly embraces the nature of the season. Whether you keep to an icy palette of white, silver and light blues or lean more toward the colors of the holidays, your day will evoke the beauty of winter.

We love when brides incorporate a wintery accessory like a faux fur shrug or gorgeous white jacket.

Need vendors for your Winter wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Winter weddings are a popular style because the beauty of the natural outdoor setting will make any wedding memorable! Popular winter wedding venues include ski lodges, open barns and even forests. All venues that allow the natural beauty of winter to shine through.

This wedding style can be formal or semi-formal, often includes an outdoor element to honor the natural beauty and we see lots of long sleeve wedding dresses and more practical footwear. You can play off the season by offering blankets to your guests or having a hot chocolate bar at cocktail hour. The best part of a winter wedding? It's in the offseason so you'll likely get discounted prices from many of your vendors.

These wedding videos will give you the inspiration for all your winter wedding, plus the vendors and brands who can make them happen.
