Blue + Yellow Coastal Wedding

Gina and John’s Florida wedding brought the Tuscan coast to the Emerald coast. Gina comes from an Italian family so it was important to them to have their big day filled with friends, family, dancing and great food! It was an intimate, al fresco celebration of only about 70 guests with lots of Tuscan-inspired details to transport guests across the globe. I love the warm shades of orange and yellow that Nouveau Flowers used for the florals, the amazing pergola that stood over the head table at the reception, and all the grape leaf vines and lanterns used to decorate the space. Such a warm and marvelous celebration that honored two very beautiful places and two very beautiful people! Thanks to Rae Leytham Photography for these lovely images!

Love was blowing through the Windy City on Carrie and Mike’s wedding day, and these breathtakingly sweet photos showcase the elegance of it all! The couple wanted guests to have a real taste of the city, and the downtown Chicago Cultural Center was just the right venue for their ceremony and reception. Jesse Deckard of Event Creative made sure Carrie had a classic all-white bouquet to accent her White by Vera Wang gown – Carrie is a drop-dead gorgeous bride and we have to admit to being just a wee bit smitten with her! We love details like the moss reception table numbers wedding planner Lauren Carter of Lola Event Productions found, and the foam fingers that guests used to welcome Carrie and Mike to their reception. Such a fun day captured by Bobbi+Mike!

Looking at these pictures of Emma and Nathaniel’s Sarasota ceremony at The Church of the Redeemer makes us feel like we’re peering through a gauze-covered lens at an Old Florida movie set—sweetly romantic details abound at every turn! From blush-colored Christian Louboutin shoes to pale pink bouquets dotted with hydrangeas, roses, and ranunculus by Beneva Flowers, the day was pure perfection. A reception at The Field Club continued the swept-away vibe with robin’s egg blue-and-white centerpiece arrangements that matched an intricate five-tier cake in the same palette from A Slice of Heaven. “During the last hour of the reception Nate and I snuck off to soak in the whole day together,” says Emma. “It did go by so fast.” Just be sure to scroll slowly through these beautiful photos from Jessica Lorren Organic Photography!

I’m not sure I could envision a more beautiful lakefront wedding than Amber and Andy’s Michigan nuptials. The view was so gorgeous at their ceremony they were worried an arbor would distract from the view, so BLOOM created magnificent hydrangea-and-rose-filled urns to line the aisle. The perfect complement to such a beautiful ceremony! The elegant ballroom at The Inn at Bay Harbor was decorated with coral and peach flowers and touches of nautical details. Amber and Andy are the most gorgeous couple and we are utterly in love with these images from Amy Carroll Photography!

Lauren and Brian wanted a timeless and elegant wedding — a wedding, the bride said, that resembled the 1920s as much as it did present day. They set about designing the day by employing Lee Forrest Design to create an array of bouquets and centerpieces in all-white flowers. “There’s just something so classical and elegant about all white,” Lauren said. Photographer Shipra Panosian captured the day and every detail, including a handmade escort card board, perfectly, and we are completely smitten!

Every detail of Katherine and Lorenzo’s wedding at the Powell Crosley Estate in Florida is simply divine. Katherine was inspired by the Old World feeling of the estate so she incorporated international elements into the day such as luggage tag escort cards and tables named for different places around the world. It was an elegant and romantic wedding dressed in whites and greens with accents of silver, gold, and bronze. The stunning floral by The Naked Florist accented the venue perfectly.  Sit back and enjoy the utterly gorgeous images from Justin DeMutiis Photography!

Despite having to move their Saturday Seaside nuptials to a Friday due to a threatening tropical storm–and pulled off with little stress, says the bride, thanks to Shelby Peaden Events–Blaire and Bill’s wedding day couldn’t have been more picture perfect! These breathtaking images from Dear Wesleyann have us swooning over every detail, from sky blue bridesmaids dress by LulaKate to the lacy and elegant Nicole Miller gown Blaire chose. Magnolia leaf wreaths embellish the pews at the chic Seaside Chapel, where the bright light mixed with the cool colors creates a sophisticated at-the-beach vibe. At the reception held on the Central Park lawn at Alys Beach, seagrass textures and white florals, blue candles, and a subtle ocean theme are stunning thanks to Events by Nouveau. We’re loving the gold accents, too, from Chiavari chairs and linens to the calligraphy invitation suite from Paper Affair to Blaire’s metallic Jimmy Choo heels!

It is impossible for a wedding at Charleston, South Carolina’s Lowndes Grove Plantation to not be gorgeous Lowcountry perfection. Laura and Thomas chose the gorgeous setting for their entire affair, starting with a ceremony beneath moss-draped trees and ending with an outdoor reception that highlighted the jaw-dropping sunset. We are stunned by these images from Richard Ellis Photographer! Laura’s amazing Jordan gown is a fitted silhouette that gives way to a full ruffled skirt, and we adore the look! One-shoulder silvery blue Siri bridesmaids dresses are shimmery like the sea and paired with simple baby’s breath bouquets by Branch Design Studio. Laura’s bouquet of white orchids is spiked with bright yellow blooms that also grace the elegant reception tables, details that Southern Protocol helped her plan. We also love the textured icing detail on the couple’s cake from renowned Charleston restaurant and catering company Fish. There’s not a single detail Laura and Thomas overlooked—visit the gallery to see them all!

Tiffany and Jim’s lovely wedding in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is filled with soft details and pretty blue accents. The silk draping near the altar of St. Mary Student Parish matched the bridesmaids dresses from BHLDN and the groomsmen ties with their Jos. A. Bank suits. Forming a lighter palette were the florals by Chelsea Flower Shop, LLC, which paired nicely with the lace touches on invitations and tables at the Michigan League Ballroom reception. We love all of the classic elements Heather Jowett captured, including the timeless cake design by Decadent Delight. And, in a fun twist, Tiffany swapped her gorgeous Maggie Sottero gown for a shorter tulle dress before she and Jim left their reception to begin a new life together.

Marie and Tim’s wedding at The Ritz-Carlton on Amelia Island, Florida, combines the beauty of the beach with the understated elegance only a venue like the The Ritz-Carlton can provide! Dressed in a sweetheart gown with crystal brooch detail, Marie married Tim with views of the ocean as their ceremony backdrop — that, and a gorgeous floral arbor popping with pink and white blooms! We adore the cowl-neck mauve dresses that bridesmaids donned, as well as the round rose and ranunculus bouquets they carried. Photographer Brooke Images has dazzled us with the gorgeous images she captured of the reception, including a classic white cake trimmed in pink lace! See all of the beach-chic details in the gallery!

The Old Florida setting of Ponte Vedra Inn & Club was the ideal spot for Elisha and Palmer’s wedding guests to come together for a fun, get-to-know-you weekend. The couple chose to hold their ceremony on a Friday, so everyone could enjoy laid-back time on the beach after the festivities. After Elisha walked down the aisle in an Ann Taylor gown—attended by bridesmaids in gray, halter-style J.Crew dresses and flanked by lush peach and yellow spring arrangements by Liz Stewart Floral Design—the intimate group headed to the club, where they danced to the music of Diggin’ Rhythm N’ Brass and feasted on a gorgeous cake from Beaches Pastry. The photos from Brooke Images are breathtaking—we can only imagine how fabulous this wedding was in person!

Nothing says cheerful like a beaming bride and groom in a dreamy field of golden sunflowers. Add some beautiful bridesmaids in peacock blue, sharp-looking groomsmen sporting black tuxes and bright-colored bouquets, and you have one seriously happy day. Sarah and John’s Dearborn, Michigan wedding was filled to the brim with joy, and we are obsessing over these photos by Amy Carroll Photography! Sarah and John were married at Our Lady of Orchard Lake and had an elegant reception at The Dearborn Inn that included dinner, dancing and many personal details. (The couple had their favorite Chicago popcorn and Michigan pizza as snacks for their guests. How fun is that?!) We are especially loving the blue champagne glasses at each place setting that perfectly accented the soft blue hydrangeas in arrangements by Wedding Flowers by Heidi! These images brought big smiles to our faces, and we wish the sweet couple a lifetime of love!

The pastoral beauty of the Clifton Inn in Charlottesville acted as the backdrop for Jen and Joseph’s outdoor ceremony, and they couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous Virginia day! We adore the soft green, gold, and blue color palette inspired by the seaside, and the beautiful floral table runner. All of the simple but elegant details, from lush hydrangea bouquets by Southern Blooms to Jen’s lovely strapless scalloped gown, were captured by the impeccable Katie Stoops and we are utterly in love.

It’s pretty much impossible to look through the photos of Lynn and Stefan’s wedding by Kellie Kano and not immediately feel happier. Lynn knew she had to have yellow flowers because every since she was a little girl the color has always put a smile on her face. Thanks to Hedge Fine Blooms and all the other details in this sweet wedding, we’re now smiling too! Their big day was effortlessly elegant and set to the beautiful backdrop of Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards in Charlottesville, Virginia. Every detail of Lynn and Stefan’s wedding is all about happiness and love so sit back and enjoy!

Lesley and Perry were inspired by their gorgeous wedding location on the coast of North Carolina, so Jennifer of Salt Harbor Designs sprinkled beautiful nautical details throughout their wedding at Brooklyn Arts Center at St. Andrews. The preppy yellow and blue theme starts with the bridesmaids’ cheery yellow Lula Kate dresses and Perry’s seersucker suit and is really brought to life with sweet Southern details like a “Coke vs Pepsi” boat of soda, pretty flag escort cards, and an adorable guest book map!  The gorgeous centerpieces included yellow tulips (Lesley’s favorite!) as well as viburnum, sweet pea, hydrangea, and garden roses. So fresh and happy! These fantastic photos by Millie Holloman Photography are sure to brighten up your day!

Jessica and Todd did not leave out a single detail for their Florida wedding. Simple yet truly elegant (hello Mr. Louboutin and Ms. Vera!), both their ceremony and reception were at The Field Club in Sarasota. Bridesmaids wore long navy chiffon gowns and carried pretty white bouquets while the guys dressed in grey suits with hints of navy. The reception was clean and classy with navy linens and pretty white florals by Perfect Settings. The weather was a bit threatening, but luckily, the only two downpours occurred just before and after the ceremony, sparing everyone from getting drenched and allowing Liga Photography to get some fantastic photos in the rich post-rain sunset. We hope you love this beautiful and classic wedding as much as we do!

Hillary and Michael’s Florida wedding is an absolute breath of fresh air. Boca Bay Pass Club and St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church provided unbelievable backdrops for their stunning pink and ivory wedding. Romantic and ruffled peonies were the focus of beautiful bouquets by Designs By Jody and I’m still swooning over their beautiful tented wedding reception right on the beach. There are so many gorgeous photos by Melissa Schollaert Photography from Hillary and Michael’s big day that it was extremely difficult to narrow it down to just a few, but I’m sure you’ll enjoy these just as much as I did!

Anna and Eric met while working on the musical RENT, so along with all the personal touches they included in their dreamy Charleston wedding, they were also sure to include a nod to their love of Broadway. Flower girls tossed small hearts punched from sheet music, and guests were given CDs covered with the sheet music of “Seasons of Love” from RENT. Their whole color palette was inspired by a sapphire and diamond pendant Eric gave Anna their first Christmas together and the vibrant blue of the bridesmaids dresses worked beautifully with the pops of color in their beautiful bouquets by Stems. Oh, and I could go on for days talking about the beauty of Charleston and the Legare Waring House, but I’ll let these wonderful photos by Paige Winn Photography do it for me!

Monique and Josh’s Scottsdale wedding was filled to the brim with soft, romantic, and elegant details. I can’t get over the breathtaking scenery, old-world charm, and incredible oversized doors of their venue, Montelucia. Monique’s Lazaro gown is swoon-worthy and the beautiful florals by Camelback Flower Shop are the perfect mix of elegance and romance in beautiful pinks and whites. Such beautiful photographs by Keith Pitts to get rid of those Daylight-Savings-Monday blues!

Married at the beautiful The Morton Arboretum outside Chicago, Ashley and Jake’s summer wedding was beautifully natural and simply elegant. White hydrangea and lisianthus were mixed with textured greenery in arrangements by Hinsdale Flower Shop. Ashley chose several of her vendors through Etsy, giving their wedding a sweet, crafty feel. From the beautiful trees of the venue, perfectly fresh florals, and the tangible adoration between Ashley and Jake, these wonderful photos by Simply Jessie Photography are full of life and love!
