The Perfect “Relaxed Wedding Vibe"
Picture this: earthy colors, dried flowers, bistro lights, mimosas, vineyard vibes, groomsmen with their shades, and … a macrame hammock to snuggle up to your person! It’s safe to say that Ethan and Jana absolutely nailed their wedding day at Harpor’s Vineyard!
For any couples out there looking for inspiration, looking for that relaxed + bohemian wedding day vibe, look no further.
I have been dying to share their beautiful, joyful photos with you!! And some special moments that I’d recommend to any couple on their wedding day.
Do a First Look with Your Bride Tribe
When your girls (your bridesmaids) are totally supportive friends and family that are just as excited as you are for your wedding day, the photos of those ladies seeing you in your dress for the first time, are THE BEST!
Check out their jam session before getting Jana in her dress and their reactions! So much love!
And earthy color schemes are IN. Look at these champagne dresses, paired with muted bouquets, and dusty rose + earthy florals. Dreamyyy and timeless!
Guys, Wear the Shades
Let your personality shine! Ethan’s sense of humor came fully through when all of the guys rocked their shades for really memorable moments, and very GQ photos.
Choose a Wedding Venue That Invites Warmth and Comfort
You could feel the love the entire day with these two! And being “at home” at their venue really allowed Jana and Ethan to just be themselves! Joking, flirting, laughing … Jana was even barefoot the entire day … ceremony and all!! 🙌🏽
What a joy to watch them share lots of laughs, hugs, dance moves, and selfies with all their guests!!
And, the entire venue space flowed soo well together! A beautiful “get ready area” with a bridal courtyard for the ladies, and a convenient suite close by for the guys.
Megan, the “day-of” coordinator with Harpors Vineyard, was AMAZING. She made the day effortless and smooth, kept everything running on time, and was there whenever Jana needed — ready to bustle her dress with a bottle of wine on standby! This venue goes above and beyond to make sure couples are at ease, and able to be present to enjoy their day.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for letting me be a part of your wedding day!! Much love to you both!
