Such a creative and unique theme for a wedding- fruit! I love the interesting touches and splashes of ivory and purple as well. They incorporated their theme into everything, even their bachelor/ette parties!
“The events leading up to (and including) our wedding were fruit-themed, as represented by the invitations, decorations, and/or catchphrases. Engagement Party: Pears—“The Perfect Pear” Save-the-Date: Apples—“He/she is the apple of my eye.” Bachelorette Party: Bananas—“Let’s Go Bananas” Bachelor Party: Plums—“Plum Crazy” Rehearsal Dinner (at a Greek Restaurant)—“Olive You” Wedding: Grapes—Color-Purple, Christian Significance-represents charity, which, in scripture, is synonymous with LOVE.
Upon arrival to the site of ceremony, guests were offered hand-made programs with a silhouette of a bride holding a 3-dimensional bunch of ‘grapes’ as a bouquet. Among other hors d’ oeuvres, a cascading display of fruits were available to guests following the ceremony. Also, during the cocktail hour, guests located their names within acrylic photo-booth picture frames that were embellished with hand-glued half-pearls. Beside each guests’ name was a fruit that corresponded to the table décor at the reception and indicated their tables within the ballroom.
Once at their tables, the guests then scanned the personalized, hand-made menus for their names, which directed them to the locations of their seats. The frames doubled as both place-card holders during dinner and party favors afterwards in which the guests could insert their pictures from the photo booth.”
Thank you so much to Havi Frost Photography for submitting this one-of-a-kind wedding.

Today I have a gorgeous wedding filled with purple accents, traditions, and most of all, a happy bride and groom. Jumping the broom is an African-American tradition, and is a symbol of sweeping away the old and welcoming the new, or a symbol of new beginnings. I love this!
Thank you to Tami Melissa Photography (OMG, I LOVE her website!) for sharing this beautiful wedding with me! “Roberta and Allen met through one of Roberta’s Zeta Phi Beta Sorority sisters, who thought that he was a wonderful guy and just knew they’d hit it off. After playing a little hard to get, Roberta finally gave him a chance and they found out that their lives had crossed many paths before then. They became a couple on April 20th, 2009… and three years later on April 20th, 2012, they became husband and wife! Their ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Winterthur Museum and Country House. The overall theme for their wedding was Simply Classis – they are simple people and like to show how beautiful the simple things can be! They love clean lines and details and wanted their wedding to be unique, intimate and personal. They even sealed the deal with an African American tradition of jumping the broom after they kissed.”

This has to be my most unique featured wedding to date. Just gorgeous, different, and beautiful. The talented (and lucky!) photographer who got to capture all this amazingness was McFadden Studios, out of Fort Bragg, CA. “This destination wedding was simply perfect. The bride wore a multi colored dress which was handmade in Victoria, Canada (where they live). The groom wore linen. Their rings were made from gold that the bride inherited from her grandmother. They were wed in a Cathedral of cypress trees in Mendocino barefoot. Her flowers were delivered to her by surprise from LR Flowers in Mendocin, and she had no idea they were coming. They had high tea at The Ravens Restaurant at The Stanford Inn, which is known for it’s vegan cuisine and pet friendly lodging. Red doors, barns,coastal views and flowers everywhere. T he fog rolled in just in time for photos of the bride and groom, and the bride LOVED the haziness of the fog.”
I’m in awe, love it all!
