Peach + Yellow Summer Wedding

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!

We are just in love with all the soft elements of Suzanne and Esteban’s glorious Vero Beach wedding, especially the soft pink, purple, and gold details! Held at the Windsor, Suzanne and Esteban vintage style with silver, lace, and soft classic florals by Pink Pelican. A single bridesmaid wore a one-shoulder gray dress, which made an elegant contrast with the lighter hues of the day. Palm trees and flickering candlelight framed the tables at the outdoor patio reception, and we adore the rhinestone brooch that festoons the classic wedding cake, which reminds us of the rhinestone flower hairpiece Suzanne wore. The most stunning vision of the day, of course, was a beaming bride swathed in strapless Monique Lhuillier gown that wowed guests and, most especially, groom Esteban! These images from Vitalic Photo are so stunning and sophisticated—see them all over in the gallery!

Becky and John wanted a classic romantic vibe for their beautiful Columbia, Missouri, wedding, with lots of ivory, cream and blush elements. After choosing her Jim Hjelm gown from The Ultimate Bride, Becky worked with Kent’s Floral Gallery to incorporate her favorite flowers—garden roses, peonies, and hydrangeas—in shades of rich white and creams with hints of peach throughout. Blush bridesmaids dresses by Amsale from Bella Bridesmaids were a lovely complement to the lush and subtle florals, first at the ceremony at Missouri United Methodist Church and then at the romantic reception at Kimball Ballroom. We love the soft colors and sparkle of mercury glass and gold details at the reception, and the incorporation of roses on the cake from Edith Hall Cakes. Just stunning! “We wanted everyone to have a blast, and I really think we pulled that off,” says Becky. Judging from all the prettiness in these images from Heather Roth Fine Art Photography, we have to agree!

Brecklyn and Cameron’s wedding in Austin, Texas, is the epitome of elegance. With a classic color palette of white, black and gold, the couple and planner Caplan Miller Events orchestrated a beautiful ballroom fete inside the Four Seasons hotel, preceded by a simple and traditional ceremony at Central Christian Church. Breckyln’s lace gown is stunning, with a crystal and silk detail that cinches her waist. We love the white bouquets bridesmaids carried, as well as the towering candelabra arrangements inside the reception! We’re so glad Jennifer Lindberg Weddings shared this stunning wedding with us!

Sarah and Francis’s wedding is seaside splendor at its finest! The stunning cream, chocolate, and green color scheme is simply breathtaking in Florida’s Seaside Interfaith Chapel and on the lush Lyceum Lawn, where the ceremony and reception were held. Shades of ivory and white flowers in bouquets from Events by Nouveau Flowers provided an elegant vibe to the beachfront wedding. Sarah added sweet touches like a lace wrap and a cameo pin that belonged to her grandmother to her flowers; the bridesmaids’ bouquets were wrapped in the same fabric as the sashes on their LulaKate dresses. Sarah’s lace Monique Lhuillier gown is totally amazing—we love the vintage feel of the matching jacket! Francis wore a fabulous khaki-striped bow tie from High Cotton—such a fun Southern twist on a traditional tie. Even though the overall vibe of the day was true sophistication, Sarah and Francis wove in laid-back elements at their outdoor reception, like a signature cocktail served in jars, laid-back lounge seating, and a perfectly imperfect buttercream cake from Confections on the Coast. There are so many great ideas in the gorgeous images from VUE Photography that we can’t pick a favorite, but we wish you luck trying!

Ashley and Joshua’s sweet wedding—held at the Holy Redeemer Childhood School Chapel in Marshall, Minnesota—shows off some of our favorite things about the winter season: deep coral bridesmaids dresses from Banana Republic topped with fabulous fur shrugs and feathers in the flowers done by Jessica Cattoor Design! Ashley wore her mother’s gown (she just had the sleeves removed), adding in a sentimental vintage element to the day. We didn’t think it could get any better until we saw Joshua’s awesome striped tie that complemented the rest of the color scheme. As always, Laura Ivanova Photography did a lovely job of capturing every last detail of Ashley and Joshua’s day!

We just can’t stop staring at these gorgeous wedding photos from The Nichols! AnaLiza and Michael envisioned a soft, sophisticated Texas affair with touches of metallic gold, and it’s one of our favorites ever. Says photographer Jennifer Nichols, “From the bride’s stunning, custom-designed Monique Lhuillier dress, which she paired with her mother’s mantilla veil, to their lakeside reception venue with views of the Hill Country, this day was both classic and modern, and full of style. Easily one of our most memorable weddings of 2012.” We couldn’t agree more, especially when it comes to details like the shimmery gold antlers on reception tables, the textured frosted cake from Whole Foods, and jaw-dropping floor-length metallic gray bridesmaids dresses. Oh, and AnaLiza’s caged Chanel heels? We die!

The joyful smiles on Rachel and Greg’s faces melt our hearts!  Everything about this couple and their Austin, Texas wedding is beautiful, and we think these pictures from Christina Carroll Photography say it all. Rachel and Greg tied the knot at St. David’s Episcopal Church (the same church where Greg’s parents were married!) and followed the ceremony with a celebration at the elegant Driskill Hotel. We love the classic arrangements of white orchids and gardenias with pops of sunshine yellow created by Visual Lyrics. Romantic votive candles radiated Southern elegance amidst antique silver trays and mercury glass, and the five-tiered cake was sweet perfection! “It was an unforgettable start to the rest of our lives together,” reflects Rachel, and we couldn’t agree more after falling in love with these gorgeous images!

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!

We love this absolutely classic féte hailing from an illustrious museum in our nation’s capital today. This Washington DC wedding was photographed by one of our favorites, Lisa Blume, and it is elegant and so special and timeless. According to Kelly, she couldn’t take her mind off of the National Museum of Women in the Arts’s design and sweetly, how she could picture traipsing down the staircase to meet her dear dad at the bottom to walk her down the aisle to her beau Jamie (tears!). Speaking of tears, we had to mention this touching detail. Kelly needed to have her grandmothers there in some way, so to commemorate these wonderful women in her life, she shipped in two paintings from North Carolina of them and had her grandmother’s tea cup in her bridal suite. Endearingly, the teacup was a gift her grandmother gave to her sister for her wedding.

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.

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.

Kristin and Max both wanted a traditional, elegant historical Chicago wedding that would show their guests all the city has to offer. To set the tone for the chic affair, Kristin chose vintage-style details and pastel peach and pink florals mixed with dusty miller from Nancy Krause. The soft flowers paired well with taupe one-shoulder bridesmaids dresses by Bella Bianca, which is where Kristin found her gown as well. We are swooning over the timeless lace confection by Junko Yoshioka! After a ceremony at the intricately detailed St. Vincent de Paul Parish that included communion, Kristin and Max directed guests to the Chicago History Museum for an elegant, sophisticated reception that really shows off the Windy City. Gold, silver, peach, and pale yellow decor is slightly unexpected but still classic, and we adore the incorporation of the colors and greenery on the wedding cake from Konrad’s Bakery! And because we love a bit of whimsy in every wedding, we can’t get over the Ferris wheel escort cards—adorable! These gorgeous images from Hunter Photographic capture the day perfectly!

We love the sweet elegance of Sarah and Evan’s wedding! Both NYC residents, the couple chose to honor Sarah’s Catholic faith with a ceremony at Immaculate Conception Church. Long strapless navy bridesmaids dresses by Jim Hjelm lent a classic touch to the festivities, as did pretty stationery in the same color palette from Respond If You Please. Sarah’s chic Romona Keveza gown from Gabriella New York Bridal Salon. We just cannot stop staring at Sarah’s dramatic cascading, Princess Diana-inspired bouquet, filled with ivy, orchids, and garden roses and fashioned by Agnew Florist. At the reception, held at Tarrytown House, simple arrangements of orchids, garden roses, ivy, and baby’s breath were set with vintage milk glass that Sarah’s mother spent a year collecting. One of our favorite details of the reception is an homage to Evan’s Jewish heritage with a traditional hora dance. We love these joyful images from Lindsay Madden!

Perrine and Aaron’s timeless wedding in Columbus, Ohio, is one that’s just brimming with spring details! We love all of the pink and white in florals, especially the peony bouquets, from Flowers on Orchard Lane. The pretty pale colors are lovely with classic black bridesmaids dresses as well as Perrine’s Angel Rivera gown with pleated bodice. After the traditional ceremony at Saint Joseph Cathedral, guests made their way to The Country Club at Muirfield Village where they were wowed by the event design and planning by MMJ Weddings & Events. There, pops of deep blue—reminiscent of the color of Perrine’s Badgley Mischka shoes—joined more pink, white, and silver details to transform the reception hall into a beautiful backdrop for dinner and dancing. One of our favorite details is the bride, groom, and dog topper perched above the cupcakes from Nicely Made Cupcakes. We’re madly in love with these images from Jen & Jonah!

Claire and Evan’s Lexington wedding is full of romantic details and classic Southern touches. Following the ceremony at Central Christian Church, guests walked in a parade, led by a marching band, to The Carrick House for the reception. Neutral tones including cool grays ruled the day, enhanced with pops of eggplant and earthy texture, especially in florals by Jaclyn Journey. Ivory garden roses, gray roses, dusty miller, ranunculus, lavender Amnesia roses, purple scabiosa, eucalyptus, and deep purple foliage accented bouquets carried by bridesmaids, clad in one-shoulder gray dresses, and Claire, who chose an ethereal, romantic gown from Bridal and Formal. Carefully curated details, such as wax seals on mod gray stationery and an award ribbon seating chart that led to miniature gold horse place cards, make this wedding unique. We’re in love with the creative doughnut cake from Magee’s Bakery, as well as the flawless look of the reception tables, thanks to planning from One Fine Day Wedding Consultation. Enjoy these romantic images from Amy Campbell 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!

What a picture-perfect Los Angeles wedding Lynn and Steve had! We’d never guess this pretty pink and white affair is set in the heart of LA, with soft blooms from Stems Florist festooning the setting at Maguire Gardens, where the ceremony was held, and Cafe Pinot, site of the reception! Our friends at Minted contributed elegant stationery, and Caroline of Serenity Events helped Lynn and Steve coordinate the day of the wedding. Bridesmaids wore short light pink dresses from J.Crew, the perfect complement to Lynn’s stunning Monique Lhuillier gown. And we can’t leave out Steve, handsome in a Black by Vera Wang suit! We love the mod look of Lynn’s silver snakeskin Jimmy Choo heels, too. The outdoor soiree offered plenty of great natural light for Esther Sun to photograph it perfectly. We hear at the end of the night, Lynn and Steve surprised guests with a visit from the In-N-Out Burger Cookout Trailer—a delicious finish to the flawless event! See it all in the gallery!

Amanda and Mike’s big city Chicago wedding portrays a certain sweetness that is both charming and sophisticated! Following a traditional Catholic ceremony at St. Josaphat Parish, the couple and their friends and family headed to the gorgeous Chicago History Museum for a night of great food and dancing, thanks to Blue Plate catering and tunes from Matt Lewis and The Union. Amanda says she wouldn’t change a thing about the day, and we can see why! From the lovely ice blue bridesmaids dresses from Bella Bridesmaids to her own amazing Tara Keely gown, the attire was simple and elegant. Emilia Jane Photography captured beautiful images—we especially adore the iconic photos with the backdrop of the Chicago skyline! We love the mix of baby’s breath, peach roses, and white peonies in floral designs by Revel Décor, as well as the adorable confection by Amy Beck Cake Design—there’s so much to love, catch it all in the gallery!

We are really loving the peach and black color palette of Carrie and Brandon’s Orange Park, Florida, wedding! Held outdoors at The Club Continental, the pastel and bold combination is unexpected and sophisticated. Soft flowers and black lace linens dot the event, created and styled by Aime Peterson Flowers & Event Design. The bridesmaids dresses from Belk are also lacy and black, while peach and cream bouquets soften the look. Carrie’s Wtoo gown from Victorian Rose Bridals features a jaw-dropping open back, and we love the punch of color from her blue satin shoes by Nina. Shipra Panosian Photography didn’t miss a single detail when capturing this chic affair—see all of the gorgeous images in the gallery!
