Elegant + Glamorous California Wedding

Stephanie and John’s Los Angeles wedding, captured by Milou + Olin Photography, is classic with a touch of vintage glamour, and we’re in love! We don’t know about you, but we can’t seem to peel our eyes away from Stephanie — her light and airy trumpet style gown and silver Jimmy Choo heels are seriously stunning! And how about the bridesmaids’ charcoal colored dresses? The pink sash really adds a soft pop of color to their outfits! Stephanie and John’s reception, held in a ballroom at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, is awash in sophisticated gold and pearls. How sweet are the photo table numbers? What is your favorite detail?

Classic Texas Ballroom Wedding

Brecklyn and Cameron’s wedding in Austin, Texas, is the epitome of elegance. With a classic color palette of white, black and gold, the couple and planner Caplan Miller Events orchestrated a beautiful ballroom fete inside the Four Seasons hotel, preceded by a simple and traditional ceremony at Central Christian Church. Breckyln’s lace gown is stunning, with a crystal and silk detail that cinches her waist. We love the white bouquets bridesmaids carried, as well as the towering candelabra arrangements inside the reception! We’re so glad Jennifer Lindberg Weddings shared this stunning wedding with us!

Sophisticated + Chic NYC Wedding

Oh how we adore an elegant New York wedding! Kimberly and John’s sophisticated day started with a ceremony at The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine—where Kimberly wore a fabulous feather shrug over her Jenny Packham gown to quell the chill of the January day. Bridesmaids were decked out in convertible dresses by twobirds; Kimberly and her bridesmaids carried colorful, oversize bouquets by Poppies & Posies. The industrial backdrop of The Foundry, where the reception took place, was a nice counterpoint to the formal ceremony. Long tables dotted with votives and lights strung overhead created a romantic vibe for the rest of the evening. And we absolutely love the traveling bride and groom cake topper, a nod to the couple’s overseas meeting and shared hobby. Thanks to the talented Elisabeth Millay Photography for sharing this chic affair with us!

Current Crush: Berry Beautiful

Today’s current crush is berry beautiful! I have long loved the tone of a vivid raspberry pink, and although it’s bright and fun, berry is also flirty and romantic, and perfect for your wedding color palette. Pair with crisp white, a touch of yellow, and softer pink tones and the result is fabulous!
