Elegant Garden Wedding

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!

What a vision Camille and Greg’s Park City destination wedding is! The breathtaking backdrop of the mountains at The St. Regis Deer Valley is incredibly romantic, and combined with the unexpected lavender details it’s completely stunning. Pretty pink and purple flowers, studded with a cactus here and there, from Petal are lovely and complement the lavender Amsale bridesmaids dresses, the colors a subtle nod to the Mardi Gras elements Camille and Greg wove into their day. Camille’s elaborate Somsi Couture gown is worthy of a parade, and we adore the blush colored Valentino heels she paired with it. Our favorite part of the entire day’s decor may just be the way rustic elements like burlap and birchwood are so elegantly mixed with sterling silver—especially the stand holding a classic cake from Snow Park Bakery—and rich woods. Cheers to this fabulous affair and all of the gorgeous images from Pepper Nix!

Brooke and Russell’s lovely Nashville wedding is an elegant affair filled with classic touches that we adore! Brooke is flawless in a Monique Lhuillier gown from The Bride Room–we are swooning over the top lace piece that’s romantic and delicate, a perfect complement to Brooke’s filmy Toni Federici veil. Bridesmaids chose varying designs of a light taupe dress by Amsale, which are soft and pretty mixed in with garden details like the lush bouquets, hydrangea and magnolia wreaths, and floral hair wreaths from Branches. After a traditional ceremony at St. George’s Episcopal Church, the party continued at the vintage-style Union Station Hotel, where a lush floral garland ran the length of Brooke and Russell’s table. “The flowers were stunning! My favorite thing at the reception was the flower runner on the head table,” says Brooke. Sequin linens from La Tavola Fine Linen Rental and classic pieces like engraved silver vases and cafe string lights dotted the reception room, where the couple’s Dessert Designs cake was topped with more fresh flowers. One of our favorite details is the monogrammed logo by Allison R. Banks Designs on the couple’s stationery from Rock Paper Scissors. We adore every single detail captured by the fabulous Kristyn Hogan!

We are smitten with the lovely details of Kristen and Kevin’s Los Angeles wedding at the Skirball Cultural Center! Lush pink and white flowers from G Fiori Floral Design are soft and pretty against Kristen’s Anne Barge gown from The White Dress. The ribbon and rhinestone belt of the gown was the inspiration for the gray bridesmaids dresses from J.Crew. Tall pink and green topiary arrangements and a dessert table filled with sweets surrounds a tall white confection from Cake Crumbs have us drooling. Wish Wonder Dream Wedding Coordination ensured that the day went smoothly, just like these images from Heidi Ryder Photography show!

Oh, how we adore the soft colors and romantic vibe of Mirna and Robin’s Bay Area wedding at Mission Santa Clara de Asis! These images from Caroline Tran are as ethereal as Mirna’s classic Monique Lhuillier gown—and we love the fresh flowers tucked into her sleek updo! Pink and white ruled the day, from flowers by Nicole Ha Designs to the blush-colored cake by Rosewood Sand Hill, also the site of the fabulous reception. Mirna’s bridesmaids wore long light taupe dresses by Saja Wedding to complement the surrounding pale pinks, a color combo that’s classic and fresh. Each carefully executed detail was overseen by Amazae Special Events. This fabulous fete is absolutely stunning!

I can already tell Cara and Greg’s wedding is going to be one of my very favorites of the entire year! Every detail is absolute perfection! From the picturesque setting at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California, to Cara’s breathtaking Monique Lhuillier gown and everything in between, these images from Jessica Lewis Photography will send your heart aflutter. Chef David Laufer of Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village made a simple, elegant buttercream cake festooned with single flowers. We especially love the vintage touches and vignettes throughout the reception! The flowing Bill Levkoff bridesmaids dresses are so pretty with the cream and blush bouquets—we really would wear those again! See even more gorgeousness in the gallery!

Classic details are awash at Emily and Joe’s lovely Lake Tahoe wedding, held at West Shore Cafe and Inn. The waterfront space was transformed with lush Southern-style hydrangea blooms woven with magnolia leaves from Blooms by Martha Andrews. “We knew that we wanted a more traditional looking wedding, rather than Tahoe rustic, and the team at Merrily Wed helped our vision come to life,” Emily says. A mostly white palette mixed with a light dove gray allowed texture to play into the decor, with accents such as pretty white Swiss dot linens from La Tavola Fine Linen Rental. Emily’s stunning gown from Vera Wang includes a beaded belt on a column-style silhouette that fans into a flowy chiffon skirt. We adore her cage heels from Jimmy Choo as well! Bridesmaids wore gray-lavender Amsale dresses that complement the majestic mountains surrounding the water. Dinner and dancing were held on the patio and pier, where chandeliers and bistro lighting hung for a romantic feel. A classic cake from The El Dorado crowned the dessert table, filled with confections from Homage Bakery. We are swooning over these amazing images from Jonathan Young Weddings!

Lovely is the only word that comes close to adequately describing Laura and Kevin’s St. Louis wedding at Coronado Ballroom. Soft pastel blooms such as roses and hydrangeas by Tina Barerra of The Special Event Florist created a romantic atmosphere at the ceremony and reception. Simply and Forever helped Laura and Kevin plan the day, which the couple wanted to be “classy, elegant, and full of personality.” The gorgeous coral color of Laura’s single bridesmaid dress from Amsale is statement-making simplicity at its finest. Along with her column-style Monique Lhuillier gown, Laura carried a hand-tied bouquet of garden roses, mini calla lilies, spray roses, and ranunculus. We love the unique touches woven into the reception, too, like circular dinner menus from Two Blue Doors and a simple cake with a classic monogram, provided by the Coronado. Enjoy all of these gorgeous images from the ever-fabulous Clary Pfeiffer Fine Art Photographer.

Natives of Los Angeles, Michelle and Miguel wanted a spot for their wedding that didn’t feel like typical LA. The Legendary Park Plaza Hotel was the perfect venue for that, with its dramatic staircases, ceilings, and windows. The Dainty Lion helped Michelle and Miguel plan a celebration that was uniquely theirs, which included lush peony bouquets, baby’s breath topiaries, and pretty blooms in glass vases along tables peppered with gold sequin linens. Bridesmaids in taupe dresses were elegant, especially standing next to Michelle in a lace and tulle Pronovias gown from Bellasposa. We love Michelle’s blue Badgley Mischka shoes with sparkling brooches! Romantic touches such as floral stationery from Wedding Paper Divas and feather accents on place settings matches the drama of the location! A dessert table at the reception featured macaroons from Sweet and Saucy Shop, topped off with a cake designed by Hotcakes Bakes. We’re swooning over every detail in these photos from Love, Janet Photography!

Anna and Carly’s impossibly glamorous wedding is like a fairytale brought to life. For starters, Sacramento’s The Citizen Hotel is a stunning venue, with gold and ivory details by Kate Miller Events to make it even more luxe. Flourish used the same soft color palette for florals that shine–literally! We’re floored by the jewels woven in to Anna’s cream bouquet! We also love that more bling was added to the wedding cake from Sweet Cakes by Rebecca, so it sparkles like the rest of the details. Halter-style black bridesmaids dresses add another sophisticated element, as does Anna’s beaded strapless gown, all by Alfred Angelo. Anna’s bib necklace from A Heart’s Desires is swoon-worthy, just like every one of these images from Sarah Maren Photographers. This is an all-out gorgeous affair—swoon over it all in the gallery!

The always elegant setting of Beaulieu Garden in Rutherford, California, proved to be the perfect location for Danielle and Tomas’s Napa Valley wedding. From the outdoor ceremony to the reception held beneath weaving grapevines and crystal chandeliers, the rule of the day was simplicity. Classic ivory, pink, and blush florals by Cherries were lush while the monochromatic scheme kept them understated. Julie Mikos Photographer captured gorgeous details such as the blush pink ruched Monique Lhuillier bridesmaids dresses and Danielle’s column gown with lace touches by Annasul Y. We love the watercolor details on stationery by Wedding Paper Divas and the blend of rustic and sophisticated decor helmed by Dee Merz. The cake festooned with fresh blooms by Perfect Endings is, indeed, the perfect ending to this amazing affair—see it all in the gallery!

Nothing says fairytale like a castle, and that’s exactly what Daryl and Larry got when they chose Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York, for their wedding celebration! Elegant ombre details like taupe and brown shades on Amsale bridesmaids dresses gave way to gorgeous orange and green fall flowers from Rebecca Shepherd Floral Design, giving the entire affair a crisp, seasonal look. Daryl looked as stunning as a princess in a lacy Monique Lhuillier gown from Wedding Salon of Manhasset, and we’re particularly swooning over her gold glitter J.Crew sandals! We love the way Betsi Ewing Studio and second photography team Alexis June Weddings captured the dreamy details! Touches of gold and more lush florals at the reception inside the castle are taking our breath away—we are absolutely in love with all of the gorgeous details in the gallery!

Jillian and Will’s Bel Air, California, wedding has all of the beauty a beach backdrop brings, but instead of an informal affair it exudes elegance and sophistication. These images from Patrick Moyer Wedding Photography & Films show the fabulous highlights, from Jillian’s lavender and cream bouquet and the mermaid-style flare on her Paloma Blanca gown, to the shimmery gray silk WToo bridesmaids dresses and their sweet bouquets of white gerbera daisies created by The Flower Lab. More simple, classic details—like all-white settings—for the reception Bel-Air Bay Club allowed the fabulous scenery to shine through. See all of the images from this gorgeous affair in the gallery!

A big rainstorm may have drowned Miranda and Matthew’s plan for a 70-degree Santa Barbara wedding day, but it certainly didn’t damper the festivities. The couple still gave guests a fabulous—albeit windy—time beachside at the Bacara Resort & Spa. The strong breeze only added to the ethereal Kenneth Pool gown Miranda wore, blowing the gauzy tulle skirt in cloud-like swirls and she and Matthew said “I do.” The elegant bouquets by Blue Magnolia Floral & Event Design are classic, especially with navy bridesmaids from J.Crew, but we really love all of the lush greenery and rose garlands strung across the aisle and scattered around the reception room as well. Bacara Resort & Spa provided a yummy dessert spread, with a two-tiered cake trimmed with silk ribbon crowning the center of the table. We can tell from these images from Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie that this was the perfect prelude to a fun life together—see all of the amazing images in the gallery!

Amie and Daniel’s wedding at the Montage Beverly Hills is chic and beautifully modern! From Amie’s La Sposa gown, right down to the lace-wrapped candle holders on the stunning reception tables with florals by Trisha of Hidden Garden, each detail screams modern glamour. We are in love with the soft gray and purple reception—fluffy hydrangea, dusty miller, and rose centerpieces sit atop a mix of round and estate tables, and the low, purple lighting is perfect for the Montage ballroom. The entire day was meticulously planned and carried out by Jeanie Savage of Details Details and we just adore the gorgeous images from Troy Grover Photographers—see them all in the gallery!

Kate and Dave’s outdoor Virginia wedding—held at Kate’s historic family home in Bentonville—was super sweet and romantic, with tons of springy details and personal touches! Watercolor floral stationery from Rifle Paper Co. set the tone for the casually sophisticated day, and Amaryllis, Inc., carried out the same look with the fresh pink and white flowers—we j’adore Kate’s pink peony bouquet! Ritzy Bee Events styled the event, captured in all its gorgeous glory by Abby Jiu Photography. A bar made of stacked hay bales and dressed up with a greenery and floral swag garland, plus garden-inspired decor beneath a tent in the field gave a nod to the down-home but elegant setting. And we love the unique, petite chocolate and pink cake from Maggie Austin Cake. Of course, we know you’re really dying over Kate’s Vera Wang gown—it’s stunning, just like this entire affair!

Twin Peaks Ranch was the setting for this rustic, elegant affair, captured to perfection by Erin Hearts Court. This Southern California fete is a 2012 favorite of the photographers’ and after viewing the jaw-dropping details, coordinated by Bash, Please, it’s one of our favorites, too! The soft, flowing floral arrangements—also designed by Bash, Please—are oh-so-romantic, while the al fresco lounge made of chic furniture pieces from Found Vintage Rentals has seriously stolen our hearts! We love the sweet-and-simple menu scrolled across a mirror, and are falling for the bridesmaids’ soft grey dresses from J.Crew. We know it’s hard to pick—but do you have a favorite detail from this gorgeous wedding?

The moment I saw Danielle and Louis’ stunning wedding trailer created by Vanessa McKellar, I just knew I had to share the entire wedding! Lewis and Danielle’s goal was to combine the intimacy of a cozy backyard wedding with the elegance of a chic black tie event. Their timeless and sophisticated wedding at Greenacres Art Center in Ohio was exactly that! They chose a neutral color palette: grey Amsale bridesmaids dresses as well as all white florals with touches of greenery by Del Apgar. I’m in love with the timeless beauty of Danielle’s fabulous Monique Lhuillier gown. Sit back and enjoy their amazing video from Vanessa McKellar and the gorgeous photos by Holger Thoss!

Diane and Jack’s Los Angeles soirée has every ingredient for an amazing wedding: luscious food, fabulous flowers, family, and friends!  Diane and Jack planned their wedding in a mere two months (!), and the end result is glorious, colorful perfection.  Brown Paper Design created lush centerpieces of cabbage roses, dahlias, and hydrangea in milk glass and a beautiful hanging ceremony backdrop amongst the trees at Maguire Gardens.  Everyone was decked out in their finest, even Cooper, the best dog, in a striped bow tie and leash from Silly Buddy.  Sit back and enjoy the beautiful images from Christine Farah Photography!

Christine and Daniel’s wedding is equal parts romantic, dreamy, and classic. With the beautiful villa and gardens of Villa Montalvo as the setting and perfect Northern California weather provided by the month of May, the couple’s graceful ivory and blush color palette came to life within the lush green foliage. Charmed Events Group brought the elegant setting to life with lace linens from La Tavola, a dramatic draped arch decked with greenery and florals by Tango & Foxtrot, and fresh, clean centerpieces of peonies, garden roses, and ranunculus. A gorgeous lace-embellished cake from Studio Cake completed the scene. Christine is radiant in a sophisticated Allure gown to match Daniel’s chic black tux, and to honor their heritage, both donned traditional Korean wedding attire from LeeHwa Wedding for an incredible sunset portrait session. We are completely in love with every moment captured by Danielle Poff Photography!
