Real advice from the Bride & Groom!

1. What part of your wedding planning are you most proud of?

I think the thing I’m most proud of for the wedding is that Justin and I paid for everything with the exception of the catering. So much hard work was put into making that day beautiful and special and that’s one thing we can honestly say “we did this” with essentially no help from anyone else.

2.Where did you get married?

We got married in Waxahachie TX.

3. Why was using WeddingMix so appealing for your big day?

WeddingMix was so appealing because it took the idea of having a wedding video and personalized the experience so, so much more than any hired videographer would have been able to.

4. What were the most important moments that WeddingMix was able to capture on your special day?

As opposed to having just one videographer WeddingMix gave us the opportunity to capture not only Justin’s reaction to me but also my reaction to him at the same time.

5. What is your top wedding budget tip(s)?

BABY’S BREATH! They cost MUCH less than other flowers and they are so full that it gives an incredibly floral appearance at a fraction of the price. I used baby’s breath for my center and aisle pieces, and also for the boutineers and the bridesmaid bouquets and it was absolutely beautiful.

Real advice from the Bride & Groom!

1. What part of your wedding planning are you most proud of?

Ryan and I helped write the ceremony, and I was very proud of how beautiful it was. Although I bought the go pros specifically to film the ceremony, there was a miscommunication and it didn’t get filmed. Fortunately, our photographer is incredible, so we will still have shots of the ceremony.

I was also very proud of the choreographed daddy-daughter dance. I had a lot of fun practicing it with my dad for the weeks leading up to the wedding. Everyone loved it too!

2. Where did you get married?

Beacon Hill in Spokane, WA

3. Why was using WeddingMix appealing for your big day?

We loved the price and that it was cheaper than a videographer. I loved that we could use it for the whole weekend because we did all of our wedding events that weekend. I also liked the idea of the silliness that comes from a home movie. I knew our guests would be much more comfortable in front of a friend holding a camera instead of a professional. The videos feel very sincere and personal.

We have all of the speeches, from the rehearsal dinner and the reception. The groom’s father writes poems for his speeches, and my father was nearly crying through all of his speech. It’s so special to know we have it all on camera.

I also loved watching the “behind the scenes” parts of the wedding, like the dance off my family held while I was finishing with photos.

Finally, the memories from the karaoke welcome dinner and the dancing from the reception have been very fun to watch later.

5. What is your top wedding budget tip(s)?

Decide what matters most to you: whether it’s the venue, the food, the music, etc. Figure out how much that is going to cost, and compromise on the details that matter less to you. Second, be flexible. We saved money by having the wedding in the shoulder season and on a Sunday. It was definitely worth it.

Charming Wedding in Charleston

Local, Country, Summer, South, Historic Venue

June 2, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Watch a charming Charleston wedding unfold as we sit down with WeddingMix bride Rachel. This outdoor wedding had a tremendous amount of detailed decor and a large amount of smiling guests. We break down location, budget tips, and helpful ideas to consider for all brides. Remember to snag a peak at her Charleston wedding video – created by WeddingMix!

With the help of the WeddingMix app and cameras, the newlywed’s family and friends who attended the wedding celebrations were able to capture memorable moments from their special day!

1. What part of your wedding planning are you most proud of?

Our wedding was so true to Sean and myself and the things we love best in life—a scenic spot with great food, cocktails, and music with the people we love most in the world!

2. Where did you get married?

While we met and fell in love in Pittsburgh, PA, we were actually from not even five miles apart in Charleston, SC! Needless to say, Charleston was the natural choice for our wedding. We were married at Legare Waring House – a historic plantation estate conveniently located in Charleston but at the same time secluded in its own natural beauty. The ceremony took place under sweeping oak trees draped with Spanish moss, aptly named the Avenue of Oaks. The cocktail hour and reception space were then held on the lawn and patio near the house and flanking lagoon. We could not have dreamt of better weather; bistro lights were strung overhead and we danced the night away under the stars! It truly felt like a fairy tale.

3. Why was using WeddingMix appealing for your big day?

We honestly hadn’t considered a videographer, from both an expense and practicality standpoint. I couldn’t picture us ever sitting down to watch hours of footage. I stumbled across WeddingMix on Pinterest and loved the idea of essentially a video montage told from guests’ perspective at a reasonable price point.

4. What were the most important moments that WeddingMix was able to capture on your special day?

Seeing the day replayed in small pieces brings back those feelings of being surrounded by so much love and joy! Getting ready in the bridal suite, we drank champagne, danced, sang, and laughed all morning. Sean’s cousin sang a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria during the ceremony and we were both so blissfully happy in that moment. There are heartfelt and hilarious clips of marriage advice and we loved seeing how much fun our friends and family had that night! Sean surprised me by singing one of our favorite songs on stage – I still swoon every time I watch it!

5. What is your top wedding budget tip(s)?

Decide what is important to you and scrap the rest! Maybe having the world’s most expensive chairs/centerpieces is something you could do without – how much time do you really want people sitting anyway?!

Traditional Kingsport, Tennessee Wedding!

$0 - $10K, 101-150, Local, Rustic, Spring, South, Historic Venue

May 27, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Bride Becca and Groom Jeff celebrated their love in beautiful Kingsport, Tennessee! Check out how they had their traditional. DIY wedding on budget and advice from the happy couple.

From the vibrant venue filled with excited loved ones, to the charming scenery that was captured through picture and videos on their special day. Watch Becca + Jeff’s stunning Tennessee wedding video to feel the joy and excitement that the newlyweds felt the day of their wedding!

With the help of the WeddingMix app and cameras, the newlywed’s family and friends who attended the wedding celebrations were able to capture memorable moments from their special day!

Before you read about what bride Becca has to say about her wedding day, check out her beautiful highlight video of her wedding day through her guests’ perspective:

1. What part of your wedding planning are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of the venue selection and decor. In my small town, there are limited areas for wedding receptions. My fiancé and I were getting married in our church but we wanted a different site for the reception. We heard about a “new” venue and went right away. The moment we walked in, I knew it was “the spot”. The exposed brick and tall ceilings were what I had dreamed of. It was perfect!

2. Where did you get married?

We got married at Fort Robinson Baptist Church, Kingsport, TN

3. Why was using WeddingMix appealing for your big day?

We knew our friends would be using their phones to capture the big day and thought the images would be more personal and meaningful coming from their eyes.

4. What were the most important moments that WeddingMix was able to capture on your special day?

Each moment was special! That’s what is so great about WeddingMix. At any given time, there were a multitude of people capturing our special day. There is no way a single videographer could have gotten every shot.

5. Please send us the names and websites of any of your vendors (ie. Photographer, DJ, Officiant)

6. What is your top wedding budget tip(s)?

My first tip is -Prioritize your top three items and set aside money for those things first. My top three things were 1) my dress, 2) the photographer, 3) the reception venue.

Second- Allow friends and family to share their talents and contribute to your wedding day. Our friend, Jessica made our wedding cake and it was delicious and beautiful! My mom and her friend, Jennifer made the bouquets and corsages and decorated the church.

Third- Think outside the box. The reception venue was not scheduled to open until after my wedding date. After speaking to Allison (the owner), we offered our services. My mom worked several days to help organize the inventory and I took pictures of the decor inventory (I own a photography business- A Snap of Time) for the venue’s Facebook page. In exchange for our services, we were able to use any decor that was at the venue. Score!!! This clearly saved us thousands of dollars. Allison has many beautiful pieces of furniture, dishes, party supplies, etc…that she rents for special occasions.

Fourth- Skip the DJ. Yes- we wanted a DJ but could not afford it. So, we utilized our free online music from Apple and Amazon Prime and made playlists on our phones for each timeframe of our special day- Wedding Prelude, Processional, Recessional, Dinner, Coffee Hour, and Dance Party. Total, we had prepared over 10 hours of music. Everyone loved the music and it was “Free”!

Fifth- Go simple. As a wedding photographer, I see a lot of beautiful weddings. But, the simple weddings are the most elegant and beautiful. I didn’t want anything “overdone”. I wanted our church and venue to be simply decorated with candles and greenery. The only flowers (artificial) used were in our bouquets which I’m using as decoration in my new home. The greenery (silver dollar and seeded eucalyptus) played double duty. We used it first at the church then later that night at the reception. So, for $300 we decorated two huge spaces.

7. Can you share your wedding budget and number of guests?

Our budget was $5,000. We went over almost $500 (10%) but that was expected. This figure includes everything (dress & veil, alterations, invitations, photographer, catering, flowers, etc) We invited around 125 guests and ended up with 110.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple, be sure to check out bride Becca’s beautiful Tennessee wedding video – the magic is in the film!
