There’s so much cultural tradition in Becca and Nenad’s wedding ceremonies, and we just adore every aspect! An outdoor Jewish ceremony, a traditional ceremony at Serbian Orthodox Diocese of New Gracanica, and a reception at the Chicago History Museum are all spilling over with gorgeous details. These stunning images from Jen Lynne Photography and AE Stelzer Photography captured lush blooms by Scarlet Petal, a rustic but elegant birchwood chuppah, and Becca’s gorgeous tiered-skirt gown. We just can’t get over the intricate paintings inside the church or the soft pastel colors of the bridesmaids dresses and gray suits with those plaid ties. We’re thrilled to share Becca and Nenad’s day with you!

Beachside weddings in Santa Monica simply guarantee gorgeousness, and Pauline and Richard’s wedding at Shutters on the Beach doesn’t disappoint. We’re loving the juxtaposition of sophisticated ceremony images with casual beach portraits from Connie Lyu Photography. Pauline is a glowing bride in a lace mermaid-style gown, and we love the crispness of the water blue bridesmaids dresses. Touches of lace and pastel pink accent this entire dreamy affair. We wouldn’t change a thing, see it all in the gallery!

Call me crazy, but orange has long been a favorite wedding color of mine! Think fresh and citrus-y, bright and cheery, light and airy. Pair orange with crisp white or shades of peach for a sunny and warm palette that absolutely pops!

We’re in love with Abby and JB’s sophisticated Southern wedding! Held in Nashville at the War Memorial Auditorium, soft creams, pinks, and lavenders are played up in flowers and decor by Big Events Wedding. Just one of the great details is the bold pop of navy in bridesmaids dresses by The Dessy Group, especially next to Abby’s intricate Amsale gown. Kate Murphy Photography always amazes us with stunning images, and these are some of our favorites, with plenty of natural and dramatic light. We’re dying over the taupe details on the square wedding cake from Dessert Designs and all of the lovely white and green florals dotting reception tables. Enjoy all the elegance of this fabulous wedding in the gallery!
