Peach + Pink Garden Wedding

We’ve got an uber-pretty wedding in store for you today! Jennifer and Eric’s Boise, Idaho nuptials are about as traditionally pretty as you can get. With lots of lush peonies, classic pearls, bridesmaids in pale chiffon, and glittering crystals, how can it not be beautiful? Jennifer was inspired by Carrie Underwood’s bouquet, and Boise at its Best did an amazing job bringing her inspiration to life. Of course I’m in love with her beautiful Maggie Sottero gown with that gorgeous airy skirt too. Everyone and everything about this whole day looks so gorgeous in these pretty in pink wedding photos by Tana Photography!

There is something so sophisticated about a color palette of navy and white — but we’ve fallen for more than just the dramatic hues of Emily and Zach’s wedding outside of Boise, Idaho! Take the fashion, for instance. Emily’s Casablanca Bridal has the most stunning sweetheart neckline, and the bridesmaids dresses — a variety of short sheaths in the same navy blue — are the perfect complement to the all-white bouquets by Boise At Its Best that the ladies carried. Emily and Zach exchanged vows in a traditional Jewish ceremony, beneath a gorgeous chuppah built of branches and dripping with white orchids and hydrangea. Beautiful floral design continued at their reception at Shore Lodge, where a mix of high and low white arrangements topped tables covered in crinkled blue linens. These photos by Ampersand Studios show every detail, including the writing on the couple’s wedding cake. Do you recognize the words? They are the lyrics to Etta James’ classic “At Last.” Amazing!

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!

It’s the season for wintery white weddings, and this stunning shoot from Soiree Weddings & Events has us swooning! Flowers and fruit on the stationery from Dear Ampersand give a light and airy touch. We’re totally crushing on the sophisticated details like the rose-colored vintage-style sofa. Loosely gathered florals mixed with succulents and greenery from Flowers At Will, citrusy orange and turquoise details, and pops of fresh color from clementines add unexpected hues that we just love against the snowy backdrop of the Idaho mountains. And with all of the snow-white details surrounding this setting, we’re especially in love with the cake from Amaru Confections, which is an untraditional ecru color that sets it apart perfectly. Spend some time scrolling through all of these gorgeous images from Two Bird Studio!

Lauren and Dallas settled on Chicago for the location of their wedding festivities, the place where they first met at Northwestern University. Together they chose Saint James Chapel for their traditional Catholic ceremony and Racquet Club of Chicago for the site of their reception. To tie in with the peach and gray decor scheme, bridesmaids wore strapless Donna Morgan dresses from Nordstrom, paired with peony bouquets from Fleur. Lauren’s embroidered Lazaro gown from Bridal Couture was a classic choice that sparkled with a beaded headband and jeweled shoes purchased from Etsy. A DIY seating chart, a project Lauren and Dallas completed together, set the scene for an elegant but personalized reception with lush florals, vintage touches like mercury glass, and a dessert by Cake on a shiny silver stand. We’re swooning over every perfect detail in these images from Shane Welch Photography!

Jessica and Brett’s effortlessly elegant New England waterfront wedding is perfect in so many ways! The setting of Belle Mer in Newport, Rhode Island, is idyllic, and soft colors whisper romance. Strapless blush bridesmaids dresses by Flair Bridesmaids are barely a shade deeper than Jessica’s scalloped Modern Trousseau gown; the texture of it reminds us of gentle waves. Keeping with the gauzy feel of the scheme, flowers from Greenlion Design in shades of white and pink sprout from bright green stems that acknowledge the surrounding landscape. Every image from Erin McGinn is making us swoon! We adore the arbor that frames the water for Jessica and Brett’s ceremony, and the earthy wood touches at their mostly pink and white reception make everything feel a bit less precious. Also to die for: the square wedding cake created by the staff at Belle Mer, which turned out to be the perfect spot for the couple’s classic but memorable affair! See all of the swoon-worthy details in the gallery!

It’s no wonder that classic style rules the day at Meghan and Aaron’s Chautauqua, New York, affair–after all, the wedding was held at The Hall of Philosophy at Chautauqua Institution, an education center and summer resort where Meghan’s family goes back generations. To set the tone for their day, the couple sent out vintage-style stationery designed by the groom, Aaron Fetter. Following the outdoor ceremony, where bridesmaids wore short pink Jenny Yoo Collection dresses that sweetly coordinated with hydrangea bouquets by Francesca’s Floral Design, guests headed to the resort’s Athenaeum Hotel for a laid-back reception that included a buttercream cake from The Cakery, plenty of dancing, and the release of paper sky lanterns, which lit up much the way Meghan did in her Watters gown! We love these images from Hunter Photographic and can’t get enough of all of the beautiful details waiting for you in the gallery!

Ginnie and Trey managed to squeeze in so many fabulous details to their Fort Worth, Texas, wedding! We adore the classicism of the ceremony at First United Methodist Fort Worth, and the drama of the reception at The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel. And in between, there was charming silhouette stationery from Confetti Grey and gorgeous Southern touches like hydrangeas and garden roses in work from Lilium! We love those bold coral-pink bridesmaids dresses! Ginnie’s gown from De Ma Fille featured a delicate floral embroidery along the waistline, echoed by the stunning anemonies in her bouquet. Krystle Akin was there to capture every single perfect thing about Ginnie and Trey’s affair—see all of the lovely details in the gallery!

Ahh, a fresh take on nautical wedding décor! We’re in heaven! Cara and Nicholas met in Hawaii (hello—how romantic!), but they wanted something truer to their New England roots for the biggest day of their lives. That meant heading to Cara’s home state of Connecticut for a traditional ceremony at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Brookfield, followed by one of our favorite receptions ever at The Candlewood Lake Club. Everything is just so crisp and pretty, from the lush bouquets to the hydrangea and orchid arrangements from The Garden Party. We adore the sweet mint green bridesmaids dresses from Jenny Yoo Collection. Cara wore a simple but stunning Badgley Mischka gown with an awesome pair of strappy Ralph Lauren heels, and Elisabeth Millay Photography made Cara and Nicholas feel like “we were in a magazine shoot!” A basket weave design on the cake from Lindsay Wallin Cakes complemented the entire theme, and we love that guests sailed “wish boats” across the lake!

Alice and Christopher described their ceremony and reception at the rustic but beautiful Stones of the Yarra Valley in Melbourne, Australia, as “a stunning day with special friends and family.” The bouquets and arrangements from Blooming Brides—a mix of hydrangeas, white blooms and magnolia leaves—take their cues from the woodsy surroundings. We’re smitten with Alice’s gown, too—those lace sleeves! These gorgeous photos from Love Katie + Sarah almost make us feel like we were Down Under at the celebration, too!

A rain shower on your wedding day is considered good luck, so we expect happy years ahead for Jordan and Joseph after a Southern storm cooled the air just before their outdoor ceremony at RT Lodge in Maryville, Tennessee. The casual, wildflower-style bouquets from Lisa Foster Floral Design looked as though they were plucked right from the woodsy surroundings, and the bride added a playful touch as well, sporting casual and comfortable TOMS beneath her full-skirted Watters gown. We love the laid-back elegance captured in these images shot by Dixie Pixel, as well as the personal touches like signature mojito cocktails and local honey packaged by the bride and her parents as a parting favor for guests. We just can’t imagine a sweeter, more heartfelt affair!

Nicole and Ryan’s dream was to have a Florida beach wedding that was a mini-vacation for everyone who attended, and it seems they succeeded! The couple used a clean and fresh color palette of blue and yellow, and Blooming Flowers made sure to mix Nicole’s favorite flower, tulips, into the cheery arrangements. The entire day was laid-back, effortlessly elegant and personal. The couple even included their pup in the ceremony — a detail we can’t help but adore! A big thank you to Shipra Panosian for these beautiful images!

At the end of the day, weddings are about love – celebrating a new life together with your one true love, surrounded by all those who love the two of you. What’s even better than spending the day celebrating with loved ones? A whole weekend celebrating with everyone at a lakefront resort! Andrea and Charlie did just that at their Michigan wedding at Lake Bluff Inn & Suites. On the night before their wedding, they arranged for a bonfire on the bluff and sang the night away with guitars, bongos, and friends and family from near and far. Their wedding day was classic and elegant without competing with the natural beauty of their venue. I love the black and white color palette, long bridesmaids dresses, the unbelievable teal getaway car and all the other amazing details captured by Sarah Postma Photography!

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!

Jackie and Keith wanted their wedding to feel like an upscale backyard barbecue so they decided on one of their favorite vacation destinations, Hilton Head, South Carolina, and the Port Royal Country Club was a perfect fit! It was an intimate wedding where guests enjoyed lawn games and signature drinks during cocktail hour and then some delicious pies from Signes Bakery after dinner. I love the fresh and clean palette of green and white and florals by The Flower Garden which featured orchids, hydrangea, calla lilies, and lisianthus. Such a beautiful, unfussy wedding with lovely photos by Shannon Christopher!

Jordyn and Joey’s wedding is just straight up fabulous. It took place in gorgeous Santa Monica at the Marion Davies Guest House of Annenberg Community Beach House which Jordyn described as “old-school Hollywood glam meets laid-back beachy Santa Monica.” She is absolutely stunning in her (rented!) Pronovias gown as are her bridesmaids in their fabulous Adrianna Papell dresses. I’m in love with the beautiful dahlia and hydrangea-filled florals by Jardin Floral Design who worked to incorporate the design of the couple’s Wedding Paper Divas invitations throughout the entire event. Such gorgeous photos by MegRuth Photo of a truly fabulous wedding!

Once Deborah and Alex booked New Hampshire’s Flag Hill Winery as their venue, everything else seemed to fall into place for them. Inspired by the vintage elements of the winery but still wanting something summery and laid back, they kept the color palette fresh with green and soft whites. I love all the soft and romantic lace details as well as the antique bottles used for the flowers at the reception. All these photos by Deborah Zoe Photo are fabulous, but of course my favorite have to be with the ones with the antique car!

When I saw a few images from Tana Photography on With This Ring, I knew I had to find out more.  I’m happy I did!  Tana’s blog is filled with the loveliest of images from my home state of Idaho.  She graciously sent over images from two weddings and we’re so happy to share them with you!

Let’s all take a moment (or two) out of our day to check out this bliss-inducing Janita Mestre wedding. It’s delightfully in the desert, so of course you’re going to spot a few cacti at Galway Downs, but you’re going to see such a dreamy color palette too. Being so close to Valentine’s Day, Stephanie and Alex wanted to evoke love all throughout, so they picked pink as their go-to hue. Big and bright blush and ivory florals by Events by Floral Sensations complemented the eye-catching David’s Bridal mauve bridesmaids’ dresses, and we loved this idea, too. Instead of continuing the soft tones everywhere, shake up the colors like Stephanie and Alex and throw a deep hue in the same color family somewhere that will be seen. Adding it to the bridesmaids’ dresses was a clever touch without overwhelming the couple’s desire to have an airy feel to their wedding day.

Valerie and Ken’s Tower Hill Botanical Garden wedding was like walking into another time. Every corner was filled with gorgeous flowers and art, every detail simple in its elegance. The greenhouses and gardens at Tower Hill inspired the color and style for their wedding. Julie Lapham Designs created arrangements with succulents and airplants, roses, eucalyptus, and anemone, and many of the succulents are now growing in the couple’s home! Seeded paper escort cards doubled as favors, a Jenga game served as the guest book, and colorful tabletops graced the Orangerie. We’re simply in love with every moment captured by Arielle Doneson Photography!
