Real Wedding by Cameron Clark

May 22nd. 2008 by Abby Larson | Filed Under | 11 comments

This wedding that was sent to me by Little Black Book photographer Cameron Clark is just too charming for words. The bride and groom designed the affair around a vintage travel theme, complete with handmade paper airplanes as seating cards, vintage style invitations, a trunk to hold presents, vintage style wedding dress and stamps from around the world on the tables. Each table card featured a different famous hotel of the world, all handmade by the bride.

Just as Cameron said in her email, “You can tell the bride put her heart and soul into making this wedding theme come together. It was gorgeous…”

The wedding took place in Sedona, Arizona at L’Auberge de Sedona, with a creekside ceremony and reception. Events by Show Stoppers designed the gorgeous flowers. I am hoping that the bride will stop by a little later to share more of the details!

Thanks so much to Cameron Clark for sending us this lovely wedding!

    That has got to be one of the most creative wedding themes that I've heard about in a long time! The photos are gorgeous as well. Kudos Cameron Clark!

    This is a very pretty wedding, and the photographs capture it perfectly.I'd like to know more about the "capture a snapshot" photo. Was this a DIY photo station?

  3. I love the "capture a snapshot." It must be great to look back and see all the fun notes, and pictures, your guests made for you.

  4. ooh! love it, and that dress...! I'd love to see a shot of it closer up. fantastic!

  5. Yes, the "capture the snapshot" was a DIY photo guest book. The bride had Polaroid film cameras handy along with a little black book that "accepted" the Polaroid sized images. Her creative guests wrote notes using all the provided colored pencils. It was really unique and fun.

    Abby,

    Thanks so much for showcasing our wedding! It's a real compliment, since I was constantly visiting your blog for wedding inspiration. First off, I have to say that Cameron's talent speaks for itself. She is such a gifted photographer and I'm very thankful she was there to capture our wedding! The theme for our wedding was inspired by our love of all things antique and the fact that we were planning a ‘getaway’ event in Sedona. We wanted everyone to feel like they were embarking on a ‘grand tour’ to someplace beautiful and exciting. For inspiration, I spent a lot of time looking through vintage poster art of the 1930’s and 40’s, along with works by Frank Lloyd Wright and Alphonse Mucha. This research made picking colors and designing my invitations so much easier, since I was using elements that already knew and loved. Color-wise, we went for muted, mossy greens and bright pops of autumnal oranges and rusty reds.
    As for the details that I enjoyed the most, I have to say that the flowers, the favors and my dress were my absolute favorites. Our florists, Jim and Ken from Showstoppers, were amazing. They created a huge bouquet for me, with lots of orchids, lilies and roses. It must have weighed over 10 pounds! But I loved it so much, the colors were fantastic! My mother and I designed the favors, which were small boxes shaped like old-fashioned steamer trunks. We placed tiny luggage labels all over the box and secured them with two ribbons. They really looked like mini-steamers. Inside were two chocolates made by Michael Mischner (a SF Bay Area chocolatier). Finally, my dress and veil were designed by Monique L’huillier. It was a champagne color with a silk underlay and lace overlay. The dress had a medium-length train, which was French-bustled for the entire event. My veil was floor length andringed with lace trim matching the lace on my dress. The rest of the look was very simple. My shoes were satin, strappy and matched the cappuccino underlay of the dress. I also wore my great-grandmother’s filigree bracelet and crystal chandelier earrings. I had so much fun designing my wedding and working with such lovely, talented vendors. My advice to anyone planning a wedding is to be true to your sense of style and find people who share your point of view. In the end, you will have a great time!

    I think this bride may be my soul mate. My fiance and I just planned a vintage travel-inspired reception, including vintage suitcases to present the seating cards, handmade "vintage postcards" with a monogram stamp to represent the destinations of our honeymoon, and a different model airplane for each table (he's a pilot); what makes even more eerie is that my dress was chosen because it complements my filigree engagement ring that also matches the invitations. I'm glad to see it turns out beautifully!

    We are doing a travel theme wedding for next fall and I'm curious as to what the stamps were used for? Thanks!

    a funny question, I know, but where are the photo clips from? The ones holding the table Venizia and New Yoork Table cards.
