REAL WEDDINGS | Holly & Brock
How did you two meet? Brock and I actually met on
match.com. Yes, online dating DOES work!
How long was your engagement? Brock and I were engaged about 6 months before we got married.
What inspired your wedding theme? I really loved the traditional red roses,. I tried to have everything tie into that. I wanted to have something original as a wedding favor so I decided to make cupcake jars that fell into this scheme. I had gone back and forth on how to make the cupcake jars. I didn’t end up going with this idea, but I considered having them placed on the grooms table and using blue food coloring to make the cupcakes appear teal to match the Jacksonville Jaguars football colors. I was also going to use champagne ribbon had I gone with that idea.
I honestly preferred the cupcakes being red, so I made 120 red velvet cupcakes a couple of weeks before the wedding. I wanted to do as much as I could in advance. I froze the cupcakes until the night before the wedding. After my rehearsal dinner my sister came home with me and helped me layer the cupcakes with white icing to tie into the red & white colors. I cut the cupcakes into halves and used 3 per jar. I also very inexpensively created my own labels for the tops of the jars and put a rose on the top with our names and the wedding date. You can order special labels but it really was so much cheaper to make ourselves with blank labels and it gave us more creative control over how we designed them. The jars were also very inexpensive. I bought little mason jars from a craft store.
I also wanted one of my favorite bible verses to be part of the theme for our wedding: [1 Corinthians 13 - 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.] I placed the verse on the bottom of our wedding invitations and on the cupcake jars.
What inspired your wedding color pallet? Red is my favorite color and I also like how it signifies love and white for purity which is why we chose what we did.
