Alli & Ben's amazing Eureka Springs wedding!

This Boston couple are big fans of Faye Jones, the architect of Thorncrown Chapel, and chose to have a destination wedding in Eureka Springs so that they could be married in the amazing chapel that they had studied in their architecture courses in college. 86 of their closest family & friends flew into Arkansas from all over the country - Seattle, Baltimore, Memphis, & Boston just to name a few. This amazing family made our job easy. It was such a pleasure to work with them all to create an absolutely stunning wedding of rustic elegance!

Until the amazing professional photos from Hudson Photography are ready, I thought I'd share a few of my iPhone shots of the fantastic details.

We used a mixture of round and banquet tables each covered in beautiful gold lamour linens with Burlap runners from BBJ Linens...

Alli expressed her desire to have the centerpieces feel like a "collection of treasures". To accomplish this look, for months we shopped thrift stores, antique stores, and borrowed items from family and friends. The containers consisted of vintage sewing machine drawers, tea cups, milk glass vases, vintage tea tins, and much, much more.

The favors, CD's of beautiful Scottish music as a nod to their heritage and the Scottish themes woven into the entire wedding, were custom designed & created by the bride's sister & maid of honor...

We filled the drawers with pave style arrangements consisting of hydrangeas, dahlias, ranunculus, roses, thistle, liatris, seeded eucalyptus, and other greens and fillers.

One of my favorite of their centerpiece containers...

Vintage brass tea pot found in a thrift store in Little Rock for only $2.00!

Alli & her family found some amazing vintage tins that we sprinkled throughout the reception space...

The cake, from Eureka Sweets, was a beautiful, simple design that we perfectly accentuated with burgundy dahlias and set atop a vintage wooden bowl that we used as a cake stand...
The bar menu was written on a rustic chalk board and laid on the bar, topped with a small arrangement of blooms in a vintage tea tin...
And one of my favorite details ever.... {sorry for the blurry photo!}We created gorgeous table assignments on vintage windows and set them atop the guest book table. The table was finished with beautiful lanterns from Eventures and a set of vintage sewing machine drawers to act as the "card catcher".

I cannot wait to share what are sure to be absolutely amazing photos from Hudson Photography!
