Jacob and Carmen

What a blissful and compassionate couple! Jacob and Carmen were married on March 24 at sunset. The weather on their special day was magnificent and they got some gorgeous outdoor photos on our bridge and in front of the chapel. Carmen's mother and sister arranged her bouquets and floral arrangements and they were unbelievable! Some of our favorites that we have seen! They had some lovely personal touches including unity sand, a creative and cute reading, and a fun "I Spy" game for guests at the reception. Here are a few photos we caught throughout the day! 

Right after their "first look" on the bridge they took a few formal shots inside the chapel. They were both just beaming and giddy with excitement. 

The fantastically fun bridal party! 

Those amazing bouquets we were talking about! Look at all the details! Jewels, feathers, burlap, the list goes on and on! We are so impressed Gloria! 

Beautiful Carmen. Her joy was so radiant. 

The bridal bouquet also incorporated a coin of her grandfather's and her grandmother's wedding band. Such special touches. 

 Saying their vows. So sweet. 

The couple was escorted to the reception with a tunnel of sparklers! 

We are so happy for you Carmen and Jacob! Thank you for sharing your special day with us! God bless you and your newly formed family! 

Erin and Shan

Erin and Shane were married March 17th (yes, St. Patricks Day!) and incorporated some very original ideas into their wedding. We so enjoyed getting to be a part of their day. They were so relaxed and simply excited to be married. Erin couldn't stop beaming all day and Shane was the same way. We wish you both all the happiness in life! Thank you so much for allowing us to share in your special day! 

Also Introducing the newest addition to the Integrity Hills property, the getaway truck! Erin and Shane got some gorgeous pictures with it before the ceremony and we can't wait to see the shots that Preston's Photography got! Enjoy, Enjoy!

 The truck is a rich champagne color and has the Integrity Hills logo on each door.

 Look at that gorgeous wood floor bed! 

 The entryway decorations for Shane and Erin's ceremony.

 They had small clover pins guests could wear if they forgot to wear their green :) 

 Stunning ceremony. 

 Each guest had a family crest designed just for them from the meaning of their name. It served as a place card and a favor! 

 Beautiful decorations on the mantle in the Stables. 

Once again, congratulations Shane and Erin! We are so happy for you two! 

Kristen and Garrett

Kristen and Garrett were the most darling couple. They were married March 15th at 6:00 in the evening. Something truly special that they did was after their "first look" before the ceremony they remained in the chapel just the two of them and recited the vows they had written to each other. They recited traditional vows during their ceremony so this time was just between the two of them and was so sentimental. 

Enjoy these photos we snagged during their special day.

Kristen's mom and sisters helping her put on her veil. They were so giddy! 

 Sweet flower girl and the bouquet of roses the couple set out in remembrance of their passed loved ones. 

At the beginning of the ceremony the couple had their parents and grandparents come up and lay hands on them as they prayed over their marriage. It was such a touching moment to see the rest of the church pray for them as well with hands raised towards them. 

 The lovely newlyweds with their wedding party. 

They had the most adorable candy table at the reception. All the candy was black, white, and red. 

They also had a table with photos of their parents and grandparents on their wedding day. Such a neat new tradition that we have been seeing. 

Look how happy they are showing off those rings!! We are so thrilled for you two lovebirds! may god bless your marriage! 

Eric and Whitney

On March 10th the day was perfect. Eric and Whitney were married in front of family and friends and were joined for an intimate reception in The Stables. They had such a special day and the elegance of the wedding did not stop with the decorations. They were a true class act and were so obviously, madly in love. We wish you both nothing but the best in life and we are so thrilled to have been a part of your special day. Congratulations!!

Reciting their vows to each other. Such a "tear jerker" moment!!

The flawless wedding party with the bride and groom right inside The Stables entrance. Such a great photo! 

Look at that fabulous cake!

Stunning floral arrangements were accented with burlap and candles. 

They did such a neat thing at their reception and had a typewriter for guests to type well wishes and words of wisdom to them. Such a unique idea! 

We were absolutely drooling over Whitney's dress! Look at that detail! 

The happy couple! 

Once again, good luck you two! We are so happy for you both and wish you all the best in life! 

Becky and Jon

Becky and Jon were married March 9th and had such a fun and personal wedding. Her mom, Karen, made the cakes (yes, multiple cakes!) and their wedding party seemed so close to them. It was truly a great day to be a part of and we wish them nothing but the best! 

Becky getting all zipped up and ready to go! She was so stunning. 

The gorgeous (and handsome) wedding party!  

The romantic, candle centerpieces were such a beautiful touch and made the room feel so warm and inviting.  

 The INCREDIBLE cake display baked by Becky's mother! We were so impressed. 

Becky and Jon, once again, we wish you both nothing but the best! My God bless your marriage! 

Menswear wedding style

So many grooms and groomsmen have had some great style trends that we have seen and we wanted to share with you what we have found to be the most common menswear wedding styles! Enjoy!

Classic Tuxedo with a white vest and tie: 

These two grooms sure look spiffy! They had their wedding party wear black ties and vests while they stood out in white. Very classy and very timeless.

Fun accents and accessories:

Whether it is a funky tie or a fun fedora, grooms have been using the accessories! This groom chose to wear a smart looking hat for photos and then relinquished it for the ceremony. 

Grey is the new black:

So many dapper gents have opted for a grey suit or tux instead of a black one. They are slightly less formal if you are going for a more casual feel and they look great on everybody! 

Bow ties are back:

We love how bow ties can be classy in black or modern and hip with a color or pattern. Lots of our grooms have selected a bow tie to wear on their special day. 

Coordinating colors:

This handsome groom (and so many others) coordinate their vest and tie color to the colors of the wedding. It ties everything together and puts a personal touch on the gentlemen's outfit.
