Their choice of fall wedding colors green, gold and burgundy was inspired by the season as well as the weather. \u201cSince we knew we wouldn&#8217;t be bringing in a lot of extra decorations, we decided to go with a bolder color palette,&#8221; says Jennifer. \u201cWe hoped that this would be both a nice bridge between natural and modern aesthetics and also adaptable enough to suit Arkansas&#8217; unpredictable autumn weather.

We reused all of our bouquets as centerpieces during the reception and brought in some fresh eucalyptus leaves to add to the tables, but everything else was courtesy of the Garden Room&#8217;s wonderful (and extensive) decoration library. We mostly personalized our ceremony, which we had inside a glass chapel in Northwest Arkansas. Charmis&#8217; background is Filipino and mine is Australian, so we included elements from each into our day. We incorporated a unity candle from Filipino wedding traditions into our ceremony\u2014though in all the hustle and bustle, the candle itself didn&#8217;t make it to the altar!<\/p>\n<p>That was all right though, as we got to laugh together as we lit our imaginary candle and it was a lovely, unexpected moment. We also worked with our wonderful officiant, Reverend Tim Harrison, to adapt our ceremony&#8217;s language to include elements from the Australian Anglican second order of marriage, the central ethos of which is &#8220;God is Love.&#8221; I grew up Anglican, and Charmis grew up Catholic, so we both found traditional prayers and liturgical language to be very meaningful. Oh, and our wedding party entered the reception to a soaring arrangement of &#8220;Waltzing Matilda&#8221; courtesy of DJ Afrosia.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-9.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"Charmis + Jenny\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"Charmis + Jenny\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-81812\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-9.jpg 800w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-9-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>TELL US ABOUT YOUR WEDDING ATTIRE<\/h2>\n<p>Charmis and I helped each other pick out our dresses, and in the end, we chose our looks based on what made us feel the most comfortable, confident and celebratory.

We looked for embellishments that tied into our natural theme, such as floral hair pins, and then just went from there as far as what we felt most comfortable in and had the most fun with.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-16.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"Charmis + Jenny\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"Charmis + Jenny\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-81819\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-16.jpg 800w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-16-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-19.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"Charmis + Jenny\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"Charmis + Jenny\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-19.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"48%\" \/><\/a>. \u00a0<a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-13.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"Charmis + Jenny\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"Charmis + Jenny\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"48%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>TELL US SOMETHING FUN ABOUT YOUR WEDDING<\/h2>\n<p>I think our first dance was the most anticipated moment, as neither of us are particularly practiced or confident dancers but we both wanted it to be special. Getting formal lessons was outside of our budget, so I went to YouTube for help. At first I had a hard time finding beginner tutorials that weren&#8217;t traditionally gendered, but then I found Duet Dance Studio and absolutely loved the way their same-sex dances approached leading and following. We watched several of their dances together and just played around with the moves we liked until we had a comfortable range of options to play with on the day.

It was the right timing for both of us, and meeting through an app left us no room to second guess each other&#8217;s interest.<\/p>\n<p>We had very open discussions about marriage after we had been dating for about a year, I think. It certainly felt like we were on that path, but we thought we should probably live together for a few months before we could really know for sure. But then the pandemic hit and we decided to quarantine together in Charmis&#8217; small apartment for the last two months before our new lease began. It was chaos, but we navigated it so well together that I never had any doubt where we were heading.<\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-34.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"Charmis + Jenny\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"Charmis + Jenny\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-81837\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-34.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-34.jpg 800w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-34-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-34-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-34-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-40.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-0\" data-rl_title=\"Charmis + Jenny\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"Charmis + Jenny\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-81843\" src=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-40.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-40.jpg 800w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-40-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-40-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/equallywed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arkansas-brides-filipino-australian-traditions-fall-wedding-kari-bjorn-photography-equally-wed-40-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>TELL US ABOUT YOUR FLOWERS<\/h2>\n<p>We had roses and we loved our flowers but didn&#8217;t use them extensively.
