Wedding With a Fiery Palette & Old World Charm|Liz & Jerry

Hello my sweets!  When I reviewed the following featured wedding, submitted to me by Laura Segall Photography, I was in awe of all the fiery colors and old world charm.  Liz & Jerry celebrated their day at Kazimierz Wine Bar in Scottsdale, Arizona, and to me they couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue.

From the Bride, Liz:

How did you meet? Jerry and I met dancing. He was running a swing and blues dance venue where I occasionally went dancing and needed a partner to help teach lessons with him. We found we had a great connection on and off the dance floor.

What was your Wedding Planning, Inspiration and Style? Our wedding itself was very traditional, with sacred choral music at a full catholic mass, but the style for our reception, was based around an old world vintage feel, inspired by the boat scene in the movie Chocolat. Live gypsy jazz at a wine bar, and a fiery color palette borrowed from the film Moulin Rouge helped us replicate the feel we were after: fun, romance, and passion.

What was your Favorite memory of the day? My favorite memory of the day was being called a Mrs. for the first time. It was then that I realized that his name was now forever a part of mine like his life will be forever a part of mine.

Do You have any advice for other brides? My advice to other brides is to throw a party you would want to attend. My least favorite part of weddings is all the pageantry, so we decided to opt out of much of the traditional entrance announcements, garter tosses, bouquet tosses, theme dances, etc. because it just wasn’t us, and I’m glad we did.

From the Bride, Maggie:

How did you meet?

Jason and I first met in High School working for Auntie Ann’s Pretzels. I had a huge crush on Jason, but he had a girlfriend at the time. After high school, Jason went into the army and I went to college. Jason did two tours of duty overseas. We did not keep in touch, but as fate would have it, we bumped into each other in our hometown about 5 years ago. We have been inseparable ever since.

What was your Wedding Planning, Inspiration and Style?

Jason and I live in Lexington, so we wanted to show all of our out of town friends the beauty and charm of Kentucky. Southern chic was the look we were going for, so we knew hosting our event at a horse farm was the perfect place! We incorporated a lot of rustic touches that Jason and I made ourselves. I even made the cut cake and the grooms cake… an Auntie Ann’s pretzel of course!

What was your Favorite memory of the day?

My favorite moment of the day was sharing our first dance as husband and wife. It was so wonderful to look around the tent and see everything come together. I was finally able to take a deep breath and say we did it!

Do You have any advice for other brides?

I have lots of advice for brides! First and foremost spend the money and hire an excellent photographer. Find someone who has the style you want for your pictures. The pictures that you have tell the story of your special day and they last a lifetime!

Also, don’t sweat the small stuff. Something is going to go wrong, but don’t let it ruin your day! Brush it off and remember how lovely everything else is! Chances are, the only person who will know something went wrong is you!
