Family Ties and Vintage Details: Auburn Wedding by Stephen DeVries

When one particular preacher’s kid and another’s grandkid get collectively, a wedding becomes a correct loved ones affair, as it did for this couple in Auburn, Alabama, in their Could wedding captured by Stephen DeVries. From starting to finish, this celebration has “vintage” written all more than it as well, from the bride’s strapless flowing gown and tiny blue footwear to the classic (and classy) car that’s parked and ready to transport the couple. Checking the final-minute tailoring directions on the dress, the bride slips into her finery, then ambles onto a woodland path for some photos as radiant as the sunshine about her. The groom, meanwhile, is generating his way to a covered bridge for the “reveal,” and each he and his bride carry unique wedding-day presents for each and every other.

The bridesmaids are splendid in deep blue, the men natty in black bow ties, as they proceed to the very church exactly where the bride’s sister was married 3 years prior (another family tradition!). Right after a touching ceremony in which her father and his grandfather “team up” to pronounce the vows, the celebration adjourns to a lavish tent and a wedding cake monogrammed and edged in blue. A vintage bride and groom ornament decorates a single table, and the groom cuts a neat figure on the dance floor with a classic “dip” maneuver with his new wife. Dancing is all-out exciting and casual, some guests in bare feet, as night falls more than the brightly lighted tent then, beneath the glow of sparklers, the newlyweds climb into the classic automobile and ride away into their new life with each other.

Fashionable Eve

Uptown Feel, Classic Details

If you adore the feel of an “uptown” wedding, possibilities are this couple’s approach will be proper up your alley: a Birmingham wedding in which the couple promenades down a city street, has both ceremony and reception in a brick-lined loft, and approaches the special day with a sense of humor, in these images from Stephen DeVries. The bride’s ensconced in a hotel area for her makeup, hair, and dressing, but she’s taking it effortless no stress here except producing positive all those little buttons up the back of the gown are just-so. Her maids wear strapless blue — with footwear of every girl’s choosing, from green heels to silver sandals she poses, a vision in cascades of lace, with them in the sunshine of an October day.

The groom’s dapper as can be in a blue bow tie with his checkered shirt his males wear 4-in-hand ties of the same blue. We glimpse the groom peering over a span of wineglasses, and then his guys join him in an elegant library/wine cellar with polished wood counters and carved tables. The “reveal” is a moment of smiles in a space totally dressed for a celebration, and then, amid columns laced with light, the bride emerges with her father by means of a curtained door for her massive moment. Guests kind their wishes on an antique typewriter, then feast from a bride’s cake with a whimsical “couple” atop it, and a host of chocolate truffles. The satisfied couple cut a neat figure on the dance floor, and the guests join in…then shower them with confetti at evening’s end, as they smilingly begin their new life together.
