vintage wedding

This venue was perfect for Heather and Dale – orange and purple details and everything wood (including Dale’s wedding ring!) We hit it off right away at their engagement session through historic downtown DeLand (see it here) and loved everything about their wedding, orange and grape soda toasts, lots of family and friends and a lip-sync sing-off that was too fun. Thank you Heather and Dale for including us ?

In Heather’s words:
Describe your wedding day style in one sentence – Rustic Vintage with a splash of country!
Wedding day color scheme – Purple, Orange and neutrals
Describe your wedding planning process -Prayer, Pinterest, YouTube, more Prayer, more Pinterest and TheKnot Planning GuideWhat advice would you give to future brides for their wedding day?  Hire a day of Coordinator – I am a bit of perfectionist and I knew the only way I would be able to “let it go” was to have someone else be the one in charge that day.
Anything you would have done differently?  Nope!
Most memorable moment during the planning process – When we decided on our “special” gift to our guests!  We performed our BEST lip sync performances ever!!
What are you most looking forward to as a married couple?  Building a family together!
Which moment are you the most excited to see in photos?  From Heather – Dale’s reaction when the doors opened!   From Dale – Photos from the lip sync battle
What was your wedding inspiration?  – Focused on God and making the day fun and memorable.
Describe some of your favorite wedding details and how you came up with them.  One our favorite’s was our toast.  We had seen some pinterest posts with old fashioned soda bottles and thought it would be fun to incorporate them in to our wedding.  So instead of the classic champagne toast, we had Orange and Grape glass soda bottles. Using wood throughout our theme – a reminder that our relationship is built on a firm foundation with deep roots!
