Elegant Pink + Cream Hawaiian Wedding

We are in love with each and every detail of Kyla and Andrew’s elegant Hawaii wedding! The sprawling great lawn of Four Seasons Resort Lana’i, The Lodge at Koele was the setting for their soiree, which featured stunning, organic ivory florals by Yvonne Design. Although mists started to roll in during the ceremony, the weather surprise created a truly magical setting for the gorgeous images by Rebecca Arthurs Photography. Kyla is absolutely radiant in her Lazaro gown, and her bridesmaids are ever-so-chic in their own black dresses. We adore how the neutral color palette of ivory and green allows the natural setting to shine, and couldn’t be more enchanted by all of the images in the gallery!

Several months ago we shared Maryam and Josh’s Salt Lake City garden wedding, and today we have the huge honor of revealing Maryam’s gorgeous sister Mondi’s wedding to her handsome groom Cory! The sister’s unique personalities shine through in their choice of wedding, and Mondi’s is all about sophisticated glamour. Their destination wedding was set at The St. Regis Deer Valley, surrounded by mountains, and the couple worked with Allison Baddley of La Fete Floral & Events to plan and design an Old-Hollywood meets glamorous-rustic wedding. The ceremony provided the perfect occasion to incorporate Mondi’s Persian heritage. The Sofreh Aghd—a beautiful spread of items meant to symbolize what the couple wished for in their marriage—took center stage, and a Persian rug graced the ceremony aisle. The reception entrance featured a unique seating chart display: a 10 foot moss wall showcasing a wall of mirrors directing guests to their seats. Tables featured a mix of richly-colored arrangements (how gorgeous are those burgundy orchids?) and swaths of greenery echoing the surroundings. We are completely smitten with this entire day, and adore each image from Heather Nan Photography!

We are are simply in love with this stunning Italian wedding from Cinzia Bruschini! As if the country alone isn’t romantic enough, the beautiful setting of Fattoria Casamora combined with lush and lovely florals from Jardin Divers takes this gorgeous affair over the top. We can’t get enough of the flower hair wreaths adorning bridesmaids in bold, colorful dresses. The bride’s Celestina Agostino gown is a vision of vintage-style lace and elegance. Dripping candles and olive branches add local Tuscan flavor at the outdoor reception. We’re swooning over each and every one of these jaw-dropping images!

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!

Emily and Dan’s Columbus, Ohio, wedding is impossibly classic and sophisticated, with a dreamy palette of ivory, blush, and gold and dramatic pops of navy. The gorgeous St. Mary’s Catholic Church was host to the catholic ceremony, and the ethereal colors continued at the reception, held in the breathtakingly gorgeous The Westin Columbus. Marble floors and gold details created a fairytale space for Emily and Dan; Emily looked like a princess in a CB Couture lace gown, accented by a stunning vintage veil from Vera’s House of Bridals! Bridesmaids wore long navy dresses by  Joielle, but their flowers, like the others, were held to the neutral palette. Flowers on Springtree Lane translated Emily’s vision so that the blooms accented rather than competed with the surroundings. Textured roses on linens by Urquid Linen and the cake by The End Dessert Company were in keeping with the intricate detailing of the décor. We are simply in love with these swoon-worthy images from Two Maries!

Alicia and Justin decided on an intimate Maui destination wedding for their nuptials, and the entire fete is just stunning! These images from Monique Feil Photography are breathtaking, showing Alicia as a gorgeous bride in her Oscar de la Renta gown and Justin beaming in a Gucci suit. Held outdoors at Haiku Mill, every detail of the event was meticulously attended by Stephanie Shepherd of Pua Le’a & Co. at Haiku Mill. Bella Grace Flowers Wedding & Event Design created lush white arrangements, first in Alicia’s rose bouquet and second with hydrangea and rose centerpieces lining the reception tables. Because the wedding was so small, Alicia didn’t have bridesmaids, but the couple instead live streamed the ceremony with help from Live Maui Webcasts. We love the classic monogrammed cake from Ghiselani Designer Wedding Cakes, as well as the stationery and logo design by Momental Designs. Good things come in small packages—or in this case, events—and we’re swooning over this one!

How fantastic is the wedding of Missy and Tug on The Golden Isles of Georgia? We are stunned speechless by the Tiffany blue bridesmaids dresses and custom gown Missy designed for her label, Lissa Mar, and had made by Erica Angeline—absolutely gorgeous! The traditional ceremony at Wesley United Methodist Church at Frederica, on St. Simons Island, was followed by an elegant reception filled with modern touches at Missy’s parents’ home on Sea Island. Drawing inspiration from a chandelier Missy drew for the invitation suite, the reception features a turquoise chandelier hanging in a tent above chandelier-motif chair covers and pillows. Even the cake from Epting Events incorporated the drawing and turquoise color! Flowers from Vine Garden Market were mostly cream and pink and included the signature Southern bloom—lots and lots of lush hydrangeas. The pictures from the always amazing Laura Negri Photography capture every aspect of this perfect day, including Missy and Tug’s first dance on a glass floor laid over the pool! Click through to all of the gorgeousness in the gallery!

Tracy and Mike’s Kauai wedding is absolute perfection! Dressed in a gorgeous Vera Wang gown and carrying a ruffly white bouquet filled with peonies by Martin Roberts Design, Tracy married Mike under floral garlands on a picture-perfect beach at The St. Regis Resort in Princeville, Kauai. Their all-white reception was classy and elegant with mercury votives sparkling under a variety of fresh white blooms, the most impressive of which being the tall, cascading orchid centerpieces. These gorgeous photos by Jen Huang capture this incredible destination wedding – one of our favorites of the year – and all the elegant details of the day!

Can I explain how incredibly difficult it was to limit myself to the amount of photos to post for this wedding? Be warned, these are guaranteed to make you want to fly to Hawaii and elope/renew immediately. All warnings aside, Danielle and Tyler’s Maui wedding is why people think about doing destination weddings in the first place. Fantastic weather? Check. Exotic flowers? Check. Awe-inspiring views? Check. I really can’t get over all the stunning images taken at Haiku Mill by Soul Mates Photo. (Sidenote: can you believe there is a place in Maui named Haiku? It makes sense that it’s this beautiful.) Enjoy!

For their Massachusetts wedding day, Alex and Chris wanted nothing but everyone to have a splendid time, good food, good drinks, and good memories being passed around. All captured through the lens of The Light and Color Wedding Photography, the Ipswich couple chose to have a traditional wedding day. Alex chose a classic A-line Hayley Paige beauty and the cherry on top of her trousseau was her mom’s veil that she donned for her day. Their ceremony was held at St. John’s Prep (fun fact: Alex is a dentist and St. John’s Prep was the same school where Alex’s boss and Chris’s dad went. The guys are still good friends!), Chris’s high school alma mater. For their wedding reception, they dressed up The Hellenic Center in shades of soft blues and pinks, and organic-style blooms designed by Chris’s sister-in-law, Teresa. Weddings like these that are centered around family and steeped in tradition always leave such a feel-good warmth to our day.

Southern weddings are usually steeped high in customs and ceremonies that are nothing short of endearing. When Catherine and Benjamin were planning their Richmond wedding, they made sure to include a bourbon burial and unearthing to hold off the rain for their big day (definitely a big deal in the south). Around her Tommy’s Garden bouquet, Catherine wrapped a handkerchief that her maternal grandmother had on her wedding day. She also commissioned Incredible Edibles Bakery to create a carrot cake tier since it was her paternal grandmother’s favorite. These touching gestures carry on through David Abel‘s lens as he captured some of the most heartfelt scenes during Catherine and Benjamin’s fall wedding. Not going to lie, the tender moments from this Virginia wedding took our breath away.

After Jessica and Zach got engaged, they sweetly joined Jessica’s parents on a trip to DC to celebrate their wedding anniversary. One of their excursions there was to take a walk on the grounds where her parents held their wedding ceremony, the National Cathedral. Naturally, they were so smitten with the gardens and the buildings that once they found out the Gothic-style cathedral was now hosting wedding receptions in addition to ceremonies, the New Yorkers jumped on the chance to get married there. Jessica wanted an “elegant and ethereal” day so with the help of Caroline Dutton Events and Kate & Lilly Floral Design, they drew inspiration from the Bishop’s Garden on the grounds. With Audra Wrisley capturing all the pretty pale pink roses, peonies, greenery, and everything in between, the duo said their I do’s and partied the night away in one of the most amazing venues we’ve seen.

South Seas Island Resort held a special place in Tara and Justin’s hearts. As a child, Justin visited often, and he decided that when he was to marry, it would be where he held his fondest childhood memories. Tara and Justin met in high school and their beautiful relationship has spanned well over a decade, supporting eachother through their toughest moments, and leading them to the lovely May day where they celebrated their forever. Hollie of Elleson Events paired the couple’s love of geodes with the coastal setting to create an elegant soiree with a muted color palette and accents of driftwood. Textures were kept soft, with sheer draping and silk linens in the whitewashed reception room, and the rustic driftwood was accompanied by a sea of candlelight and swaths of calligraphy on the geode place cards and table numbers. The result is completely magical and we are absolutely swept away by the gorgeous images captured by Anastasiia Photography!

Since she was a little girl, Courtney had dreamed of her fairytale wedding day, and—in her words—her wedding to Jack at Georgia’s Ritz Carlton Lodge Reynolds Plantation was more magical than she ever could have imagined! The couple fell in love with the natural setting on Lake Oconee and from the moment they stepped onto the property, they knew it was the perfect location for their Southern wedding. They shared their vows underneath a gorgeous floral arch created by Designs by Kent, and then danced the night away to the tunes of Simply Irresistible underneath the stunning reception tent, which featured soft pink lighting, elegant white and gold china, and elegant centerpieces of rose, garden rose, and hydrangea set atop textured white linens. The night was capped off with a spectacular fireworks display—the perfect ending to the perfect day! Prepare to be spellbound by every beautiful image from Ashley Seawell Photography!

Katie and Collin’s Santa Barbara wedding is complete and total perfection. The couple was engaged in Jackson Square in New Orleans, and they brought the Big Easy to the West Coast, where they currently live. Their oceanside ceremony was followed by a traditional Second Line, and they danced the night away to Louis Armstrong. Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore is a lush oasis, and the couple worked with Central Coast Memory Makers to bring their vision of traditional elegance to life. Precious and Blooming Floral brought a touch of the South to the arrangements, adding magnolia leaves to the florals. The beautiful greenery brings out the beauty of the surroundings. Every single image from Rebekah Westover Photography is utterly stunning!

Lucas and Brooke were married on a spectacular spring day in Arizona at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort. After saying “I Do” at sunset on the resort’s Lagoon Lawn, guests moved into the Palomino Ballroom for an elegant reception. The theme was “Manicured Rustic”, and the reception was a veritable wonderland with candlelight and a mix of jaw-dropping centerpieces from The Flower Studio which evoked the feel of a secret garden. We adore the color palette of cobalt blue, peach and gold, with wood accents to complement the garden feel. Amsale bridesmaids dresses in assorted silhouettes flattered each of the maids, while Brooke is resplendent in a Martina Liona gown from Mariee Bridal. Ashley Gain made sure the day ran without a hitch, and we are head over heels for the gorgeous images from Brushfire Photography!

Sheena and Nicholas’ South Florida wedding is all about elegance and glamour! Their January wedding was held at The Vinoy Renaissance in St. Petersburg, and the whimsical pink resort helped to inspired the decor’s palette of champagne, pink, and gold. Subtle champagne Bill Levkoff bridesmaids dresses were a perfect match for Sheena’s mermaid Tara Keely gown, and we’re loving the dramatic bows on her adorable Enzo Angiolini heels. Stonehouse Events worked with the couple to craft their day, which was filled with personal details, including printing Sheena’s something old, new, borrowed, and blue in the ceremony programs. Redman Steele created cascading centerpieces of hydrangea, roses, and orchids. In lieu of favors, the couple donated to The Christopher Reeve Foundation in honor of Sheena’s father, who was paralyzed in a car accident and passed away in the year before the wedding. We are simply in love with each image from Justin DeMutiis Photography!

Magical and lovely, there may be no more peaceful setting than Atlanta’s tranquil Serenbe. The sustainable community was home to Chris and Megan’s gorgeous wedding, captured by the exceptional Melissa Schollaert Photography. Ashley Baber Weddings worked with Gloriosa to design a wedding that brought out the natural beauty of the surroundings, with greenery table runners, florals in shades of purple from lavender to violet, rustic wood tables, and chic modern touches such as the outdoor lounge area, sophisticated draping, and clean white calligraphy by MM Ink. Megan’s deep plum and garnet bouquet is the perfect complement to her effortlessly elegant gown from Bridals by Lori. We are spellbound by this beautiful soiree!

We’re crushing pretty hard on Jennifer and Matt’s breathtaking San Francisco wedding in all its sleek black and white glory! The ceremony, held at St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, was a vision of structured elegance–starting with Jennifer’s mod Romona Keveza Collection gown (that back sash!) from Bridal Galleria and floor-length black Bill Levkoff dresses on bridesmaids. The black, ivory, and gold reception at The Olympic Club featured all white florals from Asiel Design, including centerpieces of cascading white orchids that are simply stunning. We love the personal touch of hand-carved shorebirds on the tables, done by Jennifer’s decoy carver father. A dessert table with confections from SusieCakes lent an air of fun to this sophisticated affair. These images from Milou + Olin Photography are just flawless. Don’t miss a single detail!

We love a good Southern wedding filled with romantic details, and Justine and Eric’s North Carolina wedding fills the bill perfectly! First stop: St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church for an elegant ceremony, punctuated with divine bold red bridesmaids dresses by Love Lane from Bella Bridesmaids. The pop of color is gorgeous! Justine chose a beaded strapless Pronovias gown and veil, which she accented with jewelry by Sorrelli and metallic heels by Jimmy Choo. To honor her family, Justine also carried her great-grandmother’s rosary and her great-aunt’s handmade purse. Eric carried his grandfather’s ink pen in his Men’s Wearhouse suit, and he also tucked a photo of his great-grandfather in his pocket. We love these sweet details! Classic stationery from Maria Scheel and understated florals in cream and green—including white and ivory hydrangeas, peonies, garden roses, and mini calla lilies—by Kelly Odom marked both the ceremony and reception, with tall trumpet vases spilling fluffy blooms on to tables at Prestonwood Country Club. With direction from A Southern Soiree Wedding & Event Planning, the ballroom was transformed into a gold and cream wonderland for dinner and dancing. Cinda’s Creative Cakes provided the tiered confection, topped simply with white roses. We’re swooning over this beautiful wedding and these images from Nancy Ray!
