Two August Wedding Style Inspiration
August is one of the most popular months for weddings in Utah, long golden evenings, warm temperatures, and the mountains at their most lush. To show just how different two August weddings can look and feel, we’re putting two stunning celebrations side by side. Hannah and Chris went for sophisticated outdoor glamour on the grounds of a secluded estate. Alex and Tyler chose rustic romance inside a beautiful barn surrounded by an apple orchard. Both happened on the same date in August 2017. Both were unforgettable. Here’s how they compared, and what you can take from each for your own Salt Lake City wedding.
Wedding Style
Amongst the common trend of neutrals, we have color! Both brides had their bridesmaids dress in similar looks, or the same dress even, but styled different. Hannah’s maid-of-honor dress stood out in sea blue, which matched the groomsmen’s ties. Her groom, Chris, also stood out as the only white tie wearer. Pictured on the right, Bride Alex and Groom, Tyler, stayed consistent with their deep purple color for all the maid’s dresses and men’s ties.
Ceremony and Reception Venues
Hannah and Chris’s held both their ceremony and reception outdoors at the Haseltine Estates in Springfield, MO. The reception was an elegant backyard party surrounding the mansion’s pool. Alex and Tyler’s wedding ceremony was also outside surrounded by an apple tree orchard at the Meadow Barn just outside Sioux Falls, SD. Enter inside the barn for their reception to see rustic tables and chairs among gorgeous chandeliers hung from traditional post and beam framed ceilings.
Wedding Details
Pictured left is the elegant reception scenery at Hannah and Chris’s backyard oasis. Translucent and white stacked centerpieces were placed on mirrors and white linens surrounded by formal chairs in gold. Alex and Tyler’s wedding reception is a contrast bringing things indoors to a romantic rustic-inspired atmosphere with wood tables, chairs and framing.
Wedding Desserts
Along with cake, both couples offered almost interchangeable cupcakes as a wedding dessert, but Alex and Tyler opted for a an ombre purple wedding cake, while Hannah and Chris kept it classic with white.
