One gaze at this wedding and it would be hard to imagine that Leah and Andy wanted a laid-back fête to reflect their easygoing selves because their wedding is dripping with classic elements. To say the least, Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens is an old world vision that Renee Lemaire Photography certainly captured at the Porter’s big day. Every aspect of the grounds exudes romance and the whole place looks like it was plucked out of a fairytale. Leah recalls going to Stan Hywet often as a little girl, so she knew it was THE place and after showing Andy, they were both hooked and began dreaming up their wedding. Their September wedding day consisted of a delicate cream and ivory palette with dabs of blush, expert florals by The Budding Tree, and ending the night twirling away underneath the trees and the stars.

We just want more and more of this Texas wedding shoot by ML Photo & Film! We can’t get enough of those sky high magnolia trees and the ultra-southern Woodbine Mansion sitting pretty in the background. To our heart’s delight, Eclipse Event Co. wanted to keep the style fresh and sweet as tea, with the always-classic white and ivory paired with cornflower blue accents along with hints of gold in the cutlery and peach linens. The medium powdery blue certainly stood out on the sprawling manor’s grounds, tying everything together to result in an epic rendition of “southern charm”. This one is certainly for the Pinterest boards!

When you fall in love with your wedding venue, you just know, no matter what your plans originally were. Amanda and Vlad planned for a Colorado wedding, but they never knew what hit them as they stepped foot onto Bella Collina’s stunning grounds in Florida. Reminiscent of the Tuscan countryside, it was love at first sight for the duo and it just jived so well with their romantic wedding vision that we get to fawn over thanks to Kristen Weaver Photography‘s epic photos. The white florals and greenery by Lee James Floral looked resplendent against the venue’s landscape, but no matter how glorious the blooms looked, it just couldn’t compare to Amanda and Vlad looking like a million bucks. They stole the show, for sure!

One look at this 2 Brides Photography shoot and we bet you fall and summer brides would go gaga over all of the trendy inspo. The vendor team made up of big names like Lerin Wedding Occasions and The Wild Rose drew inspiration from bliss-inducing range of colors featured in Stockholm all throughout the onset of fall. Rust and blush and soft peachy tones make an appearance and don’t forget to check out the wedding cake by Liv Sandberg Cake Art. The flecks of gold flowers make this inspiration come full circle, and we love how all of the colors form together to create the palette of an impressive sunset. Though we can’t all celebrate majestic Swedish autumns, this shoot brings that beauty to everyone.

Lots of couples begin their love story on campus at college, but how many of them fall in love with a venue that they could get hitched at, too? Even before Sophia and Tim started dating in their junior year, Sophie automatically knew that if she were to wed another Duke alumnus, she wanted to get married at Duke Gardens and years later, her dream came to fruition. With the help of Viva L’Event for planning and Live View Studios for photography, the couple’s epic team of vendors came together and transformed Duke Gardens to a vision of (what else for the Blue Devils fans?) blues. Bluebird Meadows created lush white, blush, and burgundy farm-to-table style creations that exceptionally complemented the al fresco affair. Sophia and Tim’s day is full of family, love, and a healthy dose of inspiration.
