Bam! An Autumn Brunch Wedding 10/10/2021

Kieu, on November 2, 2021 at 10:53 AM Posted in Married Life 0 16

It's been a few weeks since our wedding and we finally have a few sneak peeks from our photographer. We had an intimate 50 person outdoor brunch wedding. The weeks leading up to the wedding were full of drama but on the day of the wedding, it sounds cheesy to say but none of it really mattered. People who want to be there will be there and our vendors were so great at making everything run smoothly. Everything ran exactly at the time it was supposed to (Ceremony- 10am, 10:30 half cocktail hour, 11am reception).

If I had any advice to anyone planning the wedding, it would be to plan the one you want and don't worry too much about what others think. We did a lot of unconventional things (brunch wedding on a Sunday morning), mismatched bridesmaids dresses, no speeches or first dance, invited kids, I changed into a romper at the reception, etc. and it worked out just fine. Also, one other thing is to have someone record the wedding! We didn't hire a videographer, but had our friend record the ceremony with our DSLR camera and I am so glad we had someone record it because I didn't expect myself to love the video as much as I did.

All of our vendors were wonderful, but I have to highlight one of our favorites which was our wedding singer. I would definitely recommend considering a live singer to perform at your ceremony (and reception). She elevated the wedding and set a very romantic/relaxed mood and our guests were asking me about her for weeks after the wedding. We recorded a video of her singing our recessional song below:

    Thank you! The dogs are our two long haired dachshunds. They couldn’t come to the wedding but we wanted to include them somehow so they were all over our decor (the welcome sign, the coffee cups, etc.).

    This is super gorgeous! I love your brunch details - the coffee station (I would LOVE one of those, coffee is my jam!), the colours together, and how cute are the two of you! I'm also so glad you mentioned the ceremony video.

    We're not having a videographer per se, but we are having our ceremony streamed, and will be able to download it afterwards, so very similar to your recording. I think it will be so nice to see people's reactions in years to come.

    Congratulations and endless happiness to you both!

    Thank you! We looked at a lot of venues and they didn't quite fit the bill because they were all geared towards larger weddings. We wanted an intimate space for our guests where they could explore and enjoy the outdoors and our venue was perfect for that.

    That's a great idea to have the ceremony streamed so guests who can't make it can also be present on your day remotely! I'm sure you'll love watching the video afterwards. One of the most unexpected moments for me is my mom walked me down the aisle, and when she gave me a hug at the end, she started crying. My husband didn't expect her to cry so we both started tearing up as well as a lot of our guests. I'm so glad we had the recording because we were able to capture such a real moment that we can relive and I'm not going to lie, I've watched that video so many times to see everyone's reactions.
