The Journey Home Wedding Inspiration

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous Journey Home Wedding Inspiration.

A wedding inspiration photo shoot is when vendors come together for a styled wedding and create something beautiful together. For this wedding inspiration, I partnered with Kris from What Matters Most Weddings, Julia from The Journey Home, and Nicole from Indigo Rose Floral Design.

When I was first asked to do the Journey Home open house a few months ago, I brought up the idea of also including a styled shoot. The Journey Home was recently re-opened under new ownership, so Julia jumped on the opportunity to have new images to display.

The idea really came to formation when Kris joined the team. Kris wanted to cater to current wedding trends while also showcasing some unique ideas. She decided on a jewel-toned theme because color is starting to really make a comeback with 2023 weddings. As much as I love a blush wedding, it’s refreshing to see bright and colorful designs.

Nicole took this idea and ran with it by creating the most gorgeous florals.

I absolutely love everyone who worked on this inspiration and would recommend them for all your wedding planning needs! The Journey Home Wedding and Event Venue is also stunning for anyone wanting an elegant outdoor wedding in a modern barn!

How to Make a Wedding Website: A Step-by-Step Guide

Planning a wedding involves a multitude of details, and keeping your guests informed and excited is a crucial part of the process. A wedding website serves as the perfect hub for all your wedding-related information. It’s not only a helpful tool for your guests but also a wonderful way to share your love story. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to create a beautiful and functional wedding website.

How to Make a Wedding Website Step-By-Step

We outline the process of building a wedding website in 6 steps.

Step 1: Planning Your Wedding Website

Define your goals.

Before diving into the creation process, it’s essential to understand what you want to achieve with your wedding website. Do you want to share your story, provide event details, or both? Consider the information your guests will need and how the website can make their experience better.

Choose Your Platform

There are several website builders that make it easy to create a wedding website. Popular options include Wix, Squarespace, and WordPress. Each platform has its pros and cons:

• Wix : User-friendly, with a wide range of customizable templates.
• Squarespace : Known for elegant design and excellent customer support.
• WordPress : Highly customizable, but may require more technical know-how.

Step 2: Setting Up Your Website

Choose a domain name.

Selecting a memorable and relevant domain name is crucial. It should be easy to remember and reflective of your wedding. Something like “JaneAndJohnWedding.com” works well. Once you’ve decided, you can register your domain through services like SiteGround or directly through your chosen website builder.

Select a Template

A wedding-specific template can save you time and provide a cohesive look. Most website builders offer a variety of wedding templates. Choose one that matches your wedding theme and customize it to reflect your style.

For inspiration, check out this blog post on wedding website examples . It offers great ideas for wedding websites that you can use.

Step 3: Designing Your Website

Visual design.

Your wedding website should be visually appealing. Choose a color scheme and fonts that match your wedding theme. Incorporate engagement photos and other visuals to personalize your site and make it unique.

Layout and Navigation

Organize your content so it’s easy to navigate. Key pages to include are:

• Home : Welcome message and overview.
• Our Story : Share your journey as a couple.
• Event Details : Information about the wedding day.
• RSVP : A form for guests to confirm their attendance.
• Registry : Links to your gift registry.
• Contact : Ways for guests to reach out with questions.

Step 4: Adding Content

Writing engaging content.

Craft a compelling wedding welcome message that sets the tone for your wedding. Share your story as a couple in a way that engages your guests. Be concise but heartfelt.

Event Details

Provide clear and detailed information about your wedding day. Include the venue, date, time, and any additional events. Offer maps, directions, and accommodation options to make it easy for guests to plan their trip.

RSVP and Registry

Set up an RSVP form to streamline the process of collecting responses. Include all necessary fields, such as meal preferences and plus-one information. Add links to your gift registry, making it easy for guests to find and purchase gifts.

Step 5: Enhancing Functionality

Integrating social media.

Link your social media profiles to your website and encourage guests to use a wedding hashtag. This helps create a sense of community and allows everyone to share their experiences.

Guest Interaction

Consider adding a guestbook or message board where guests can leave messages and well-wishes. Providing a way for guests to contact you directly via the website can also be helpful.

Step 6: Final Touches and Launch

Testing your website.

Before going live, test your website thoroughly. Check for broken links, ensure all information is accurate, and verify that the site is mobile-friendly. A large portion of your guests will likely view the site on their phones.

Getting Feedback

Ask a few friends or family members to review your site. Their feedback can help you identify any areas for improvement. Make the necessary adjustments based on their input.

Publishing and Promoting

Once you’re satisfied with your website, it’s time to publish it. Announce your website to guests via email and social media. Include the link on your wedding invitations to ensure everyone knows where to find it.

Creating a wedding website is a fun and rewarding project that enhances your guests’ experience and helps you stay organized. By following these steps, you can create a beautiful and functional site that reflects your unique love story. Get started today, and enjoy the process of sharing your journey with your loved ones.

What we know about the Ambani wedding

The wedding is set to take place on july 10-12. the dates were determined by the hindu tradition of getting married on an auspicious date based on the couples’ birth charts..

By Sadiba Hasan

Even in a country known for grandiose weddings, Anant Ambani, the son of India’s richest man, and Radhika Merchant’s three-day pre-wedding celebration this year in India stood out.

Within hours into the opulent event — where Rihanna performed, and Mark Zuckerberg and Ivanka Trump wore sherwanis and saris — photographs and videos began to flood social media. The display of money, power and wealth from India’s most influential business family captured the attention of critics and onlookers around the world.

On March 1, more than 1,000 members of the international elite flew to Jamnagar, a city in the western Indian state of Gujarat , for the weekend festivities. Guests, which included billionaires and Bollywood superstars, were offered services like chartered flights, makeup artists, top chefs and luxurious vehicles for pickup and drop-off. A glass palace was built for the occasion, and there was a light show consisting of more than 5,000 drones.

There is speculation that the couple plan to host a second pre-wedding celebration on a cruise ship later this month.

The couple’s wedding will take place in July, but their team has kept under wraps the specifics of what will be one of the most lavish weddings of the season. Here’s what we know so far.

Anant Ambani is a son of Mukesh Ambani, the chair of the megacompany Reliance Industries who Forbes estimates is worth $115 billion, and Nita Ambani.

Anant Ambani, 29, runs the energy business at Reliance Industries, based in Mumbai , India. He has two older twin siblings, both of whom are also on the board of Reliance Industries. He graduated from Brown and is passionate about animal welfare and rehabilitation. The pre-wedding ceremony included a tour of Vantara, Ambani’s animal sanctuary in Jamnagar . “This was my giving back to society,” he said in a speech during the festivities.

Radhika Merchant is a daughter of Viren and Shaila Merchant. Viren Merchant is the CEO and vice chair of Encore Healthcare, also headquartered in Mumbai.

Radhika Merchant, 29, is a director at her family’s health care company. She graduated from NYU and is trained in Indian classical dance.

The Love Story

Merchant told Vogue that she and Ambani met through mutual friends during a drive in 2017. “That first meeting just sparked something special between us, and it wasn’t long before we started dating,” she said.

In 2023, Ambani proposed to Merchant at the Shrinathji Temple in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan .

“I am 100% the lucky one, there is no doubt about that,” Ambani said in a speech during the pre-wedding weekend. “It feels like I met Radhika yesterday, but every day, I fall more and more in love. Like my brother-in-law says, when he used to see my sister, he had volcanoes and fountains going up in his heart. I would say I have earthquakes and tsunamis going on in my heart when I see Radhika.”

The Wedding Date

The wedding is set to take place July 10-12. The dates were determined by the Hindu tradition of getting married on an auspicious date based on the couples’ birth charts.

Indian weddings typically include several events, including a haldi, a ceremony that involves applying turmeric paste on the bride and groom’s body; a mehndi, a henna ritual; a sangeet, a night of music and dancing; and a wedding ceremony followed by a reception.

The Location

The wedding festivities will occur in Mumbai, where the couple live. Events will be split between the Ambani family home, called Antilia, and the Jio World Convention Centre, a popular venue in Mumbai for weddings. Receptions will be at the larger venue, whereas intimate ceremonies will take place in their home.

The Pre-Wedding

Bill Gates; Mark Zuckerberg; present and former prime ministers of Canada, Sweden, and Qatar; the king and queen of Bhutan; and Bollywood’s biggest stars, such as Deepika Padukone , Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan , all attended the pre-wedding celebration in early March.

There was plenty of entertainment, including a performance by Rihanna on the first night . Diljit Dosanjh, the first Punjabi singer to perform at Coachella, took the stage on the second night. And to close out the weekend, Akon performed.

The celebration was a fashion spectacle, with custom looks from Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Manish Malhotra. A 10-page dress code, which included a “jungle fever” theme for a visit to the animal sanctuary, was sent to guests in advance.

Ambani’s two older siblings also had lavish pre-wedding festivities. Hillary Clinton and John Kerry were among the attendees at Isha Ambani’s pre-wedding in 2018, which featured a performance by Beyoncé. A year later, Akash Ambani’s pre-wedding bash featured a performance by Coldplay.

Television actor Firoz Khan, renowned for mimicking Amitabh Bachchan and his role on the popular TV show Bhabi Ji Ghar Pe Hai, has passed away from a heart attack. Reports indicate that the actor suffered a fatal heart attack in the village of Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, on Thursday morning.
