• NEW Wedding Ideas

Unique, fun weddings and shoots are some of our all time favorites, and this Jurassic World-themed wedding allowed this vendor team to really go all-in. Inspired by deep greens, golds, whimsical florals, and dinosaur details everywhere, real-life brides Justine and Whitney were able to relive their big day where "love always find a way."  Keep scrolling to see more photos by Wild Fyre Co. 73 Productions planned every detail of this wedding inspiration and The Cottage Rose created all of these incredible florals you'll see throughout at Fire House KC. All the images are in the full gallery, so be sure to click through and read on to hear more!

The brides got ready in two separate rooms at Fire House KC so they could enjoy a first look. Murphy Engstrom with Miss Murphy Beauty Operator created some gorgeous updo's on both brides, while Jennifer Conroy glammed these babes up with bridal makeup. Noelle with 73 Productions, the coordinator, set the head table with floral arrangements and table settings, complete with gold dusted dinosaur prints and handmade floral dinosaurs. Ashley with Sugar Beats Bake Shop went ALL OUT creating a dinosaur-themed wedding cake that tasted as amazing as it looked. Luminate KC provided a stunning set of marquee letters to showcase the venue and provide a backdrop for the couple and their dance. Forks N Chill conjured the most creative and tasty charcuterie boards full of fruits, cheeses, meats, dinosaurs, and more! The Cottage Rose provided the most exotic and unique floral arrangements for the tables, bouquet, and hair piece. It's hard not to adore the whimsical feel these flowers brought to the space!

Once J + W were ready to get dressed, Something White Bridal Boutique sent a wonderful bridal stylist to help the brides into their dresses and keep them looking bustled and beautiful all day. Brooklynn with Sugar + Sky showed everyone how to spin cotton candy with a live demo and delicious samples. The brides enjoyed them so much! Melanie with Glam Cam KC came prepared with a photobooth and customized Jurassic World overlays for all of the pictures. After their bridal portraits, Justine and Whitney changed into something a little more comfortable for some wedding dance instruction from Lucy with Redux Society. This experience was especially meaningful because they had never learned a wedding dance together!

At that point, everyone headed outside for a picnic set up by Forks N Chill and ended the evening with some real dino shots in true Jurassic World fashion. The entire vendor team truly created a unique dream wedding for any Jurassic Park fan or for any couple who wants a theme that isn't seen every day and will keep your guests talking for years to come.

Advice from the planners:

1) Ask your vendor team about unique and fun wedding themes that they have been a part of and what their vision is for YOUR theme!

2) Details are everything! Even the smallest touches can bring your wedding together while making a large impact.

3) Have fun with it! What are you favorite things as a couple? Think about what would help make a one-of-a-kind set up from colors to little touches.
