Jamye & Rick – Pretty & Purple

by Niki - Inspired Bride Leave a Comment

1Here is another purple filled occasion that will sure tickle your fancy this very first day of October. Jamye chose to tone down her purple themed wedding by just using it on the small details & leaving the others gray. I think she made a great choice! Gray & purple always make a perfect match combination. It looked simply chic with a bit of purple pop here & there. I also loved how they used black to accentuate certain details of the wedding – it kinda balanced everything together to a very polished look & feel of the entire event. Good job on planning such a beautiful wedding! Congratulations Jamye & Rick – we wish you a wonderful life together!

Collage1 Wolff_Barron_Shawna_Hinkel_Photography_Barron0034_lowWhat is your story as a couple, how did you meet & fall in love?

We met online, had our first date at a wine bar. Our first date lasted much longer than we anticipated. After that, we saw each other often and knew we had something special. We got engaged almost a year later, Rick proposed at the place we had our first date!

Wolff_Barron_Shawna_Hinkel_Photography_Barron0034_low_1 Wolff_Barron_Shawna_Hinkel_Photography_Barron0034_low_2What makes the two of you a perfect match?

We are so different that we compliment each other perfectly. We draw on each other’s strengths.

Enjoy the process!

Wolff_Barron_Shawna_Hinkel_Photography_Barron0149_low Wolff_Barron_Shawna_Hinkel_Photography_Barron0150_lowWhat inspired your wedding decor? Why did you choose the things that you did?

I’ve always wanted a purple wedding, but without over-doing color. The only color came from the flowers. Everything else was grey, from the bridesmaids dresses and the sash on my gown, to the tuxes. It made the flowers “pop!” We were also able to use a lot of hydrangeas, my favorite flower and a perfect grey “berry” to accent my bouquet and Rick’s bouteneirre.

Wolff_Barron_Shawna_Hinkel_Photography_Barron0181_low Wolff_Barron_Shawna_Hinkel_Photography_Barron0189_lowWhat were some challenges you faced planning your wedding & what would you have done differently to avoid them?

Both of our families live out of town, so all of the decisions fell on us. It was actually nice to not have too many opinions! Also, we chose a short engagement, so many things felt like we had to make quick decisions.
