Wedding Inspo From Bachelor Nation

It’s May and peak wedding season is here! This week I was thinking about how a friend of mine attended 17 weddings in one year! sounds expensive 😅. Makes you wonder, what’s the record for the most weddings attended in a year? 🤔 

This week, we're inspired by former Bachelors, tips from a wedding planner, and celebrating love in Washington. Let’s dive in 👇

✨ Bachelor Nation Weddings: Inspiration for your big day ✨ 

For all those Bachelor Nation fans, you know previous couples from the show have set the bar pretty high when it comes to weddings… let’s take a look:

💍 JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rogers are the “it” couple in Bachelor Nation History. After a 72 month engagement (yes, that’s six years for those counting!) they knew the wedding had to be worthwhile. The two celebrated their love at the Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez, California.

💍 If you have been a part of Bachelor Nation for a while now, you might know that Desiree & Chris Siegfred recently celebrated nine years of marriage! With two boys and another baby on the way, there “love grows stronger with each passing year.” The couple had a beachside wedding at Wayfarers Chapel in Palos Verdes, California.

💍 California seems to be a pretty popular destination as Sean Lowe & Catherine Giudici also got married there. Instead of in a church, their venue was at the Four Seasons Resort in Santa Barbara. Their ceremony was surrounded by hundreds of roses, a romantic nod to their beginnings on 'The Bachelor.' Nine years later, their marriage is still going strong, and they are now proud parents to two boys and a daughter.

💍 Another fan-favorite couple, Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour, recently tied the knot, and TikTok is buzzing about their wedding. The two traveled all the way to Paris, France 🇫🇷 to celebrate their big day. The ceremony was held in front of a historic, grand chateau with a scenic pathway leading up to it. Their wedding struck the perfect balance between old-world charm and modern chic, making Paris the absolute dream destination to celebrate the start of forever✨

💐Mini Bouquets 💐

We all know flowers can get, um, pricey, so this trend might be just what your wallet needs 😅. Dive into the latest wedding trend—mini bouquets! These tasteful, smaller arrangements are not only perfect for brides as they walk down the aisle but also enhance tablescapes with their charming presence. Featured at Sofia Richie’s dreamy wedding, these dainty florals add a subtle yet beautiful touch to any celebration.

“I regret this”

"I thought about this for a whole day and couldn’t think of anything I regret! The day was perfect!”

- Noelle W.

“I regret not paying extra for the speakers for the musicians at the welcome party. You couldn’t hear them at all so it was a bit of a waste of money.”

- Yael H.

“I'm so glad I did this”

“I’m so glad I DIY’ed everything. I bought everything online in bulk and pieced things together. One of my suppliers for my business has thousands of western decorations which she let me use for free! We didn’t hire a florist, decorator, or wedding planner. Saved lots of money and was exactly how I envisioned.”

- Noelle W.

“I am happy I curated the playlist to songs I and my guests specified and didn’t let the DJ just run free. That way there was no cheesy YMCA moment and every song was a banger.”

- Yael H.

In this section we'll be sharing tips straight from the pros! Wedding planners, photographers, florists, decorators, caterers, venues, etc. We want to hear from you!

Tips for your big day from Wedding Planner, Cait at Celebrait Wedding Co.

Capture Sunset Pictures: Did you know you can google what time the sun will set on any given day of the year? Well, you can! You can find out the exact minute that the sun will set on your wedding day, so plan accordingly to get those beautiful sunset pictures!

Ask Anything: Don’t be nervous to ask your vendors anything, even if it may seem like a silly question. Wedding professionals are used to getting requests and they are there to help you have the perfect day.

Florist Ideas: Many couples find the process of finding a florist to be intimidating. You don’t need to know all the flower names or exactly what you want. Instead, look through Pinterest for inspiration and create a board to share with your florist, that way they have a visual starting point!

Stay True to Yourself!: When making decisions, don’t let anyone push you into thing you don’t want to do. Make sure to focus on what matters to YOU. This is your special day, not anyone else’s.
