Classic Golf Club Wedding

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!

There’s something utterly magical about DC during the cherry blossoms. It is the most romantic time of the year, and Liddy and Mark took full advantage of the gorgeous scenery during their April wedding. The couple met and fell in love while attending Georgetown Law School, so it was only natural that they hold their ceremony at Georgetown University’s St William Chapel. They fell in love with Daughters of the American Revolution, which overlooks the Washington Monument, for their reception. The classic DC feel was perfect for their cherry blossom arrangements created by Succulents and Saffron. From designing their own invitations to creating a German “beer garden” in honor of Liddy’s parents’ home in Berlin, the couple infused many unique and personal touches into their day. Every detail is perfect, right down to the cake from Buttercream Bakeshop. We adore each timeless image from Virgil Bunao!

We love the chic color combination of navy and red mixed with shiny magnolia leaves in Lauren and Robert’s wedding florals and decor! The classic look continues with elegant one shoulder navy bridesmaids dresses by Jasmine and bouquets filled with red and white roses and magnolia by Melissa of Sadie’s Couture Floral & Event Styling. Lauren chose a sleek, column style Jenny Lee gown from L’Atelier Couture. The beautiful Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Minneapolis was home to the ceremony, followed by a reception at Nicollet Island Pavilion. There, Mintahoe Catering & Events and Buttercream Cakes & Desserts kept guests satisfied, surrounded by more lush fall centerpieces at the stone and wood venue. These stunning images from Laura Ivanova Photography will have you swooning!

Ivy and Chase’s wedding can be summed up in two words: glamorous and elegant. Actually, these images from Julia Wade Photography say it all; soft pink and sparkly gold details in every picture make this a sophisticated soiree we won’t soon forget! The couple chose the Proximity Hotel in Greensboro, North Carolina for both the ceremony and reception. The 22-foot-high windows in The Social Lobby overlooked the gardens at sunset as Ivy and Chase repeated their vows. Corum Greenhouses & Florist took Ivy’s request for soft pinks and creams and chose hydrangeas, garden roses, spray roses, and lisianthus for bouquets; tables were draped in gold sequin linens and topped with blooms clustered in mint julep cups that the bride painted gold. Complementing the decor were Ivy’s bridesmaids, classically styled in pale pink Bill Levkoff dresses, while she opted for a lace gown by Tara Keely. For extra glam, Ivy chose gold Diane von Furstenberg sandals to pair with her gown and reception dress by Aidan Mattox. And while we’re just swooning over every detail, our favorite thing just might be the gold glitter dusted cake by A Piece of Cake Bakery—it’s magnificent! We are in love with all of the sweet details in the gallery!

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.

Sophisticated and oh-so-classic, Mekenzie and Eric’s wedding was held at the stately Fairfax at Embassy Row. With a elegant color palette of gold, ivory, gray, blush, and silver, their early-fall soiree (which turned out to be a brisk 90 degrees!) was perfect for the classic Washington DC setting. Edge Flowers created lovely, textural arrangements of ivory roses, hydrangea, and dusty miller, which set amongst a sea of candles atop tables dressed in billowing silver linens. The centerpiece of the ballroom is a 4-tier cake from Fancy Cakes by Leslie, with lace detail that’s a perfect match for Mekenzie’s Jim Hjelm gown. The day was full of laughter and love, and guests danced the night away to tunes from Sound Nation. Enjoy each and every beautiful image from Audra Wrisley Photography!

A classic, elegant twist on Americana was the theme of Ginny and Matt’s DC wedding, and we love the crisp, pretty vibe of it all. Their ceremony was held at St. Patrick Catholic Church—the oldest parish in the district—which features gorgeous stained glass windows and a pretty stone exterior. Bridesmaids held to the simple, classic scheme in navy dresses from J.Crew, while Ginny wore a column style Mikaella gown from Betsy Robinson’s Bridal Collection paired with a cathedral length veil made by her mother. The reception at DAR Constitution Hall included more classic decor, including cream florals from The Enchanted Florist, enhanced with pops of greenery and gold details. We adore the combed icing on the cake by Pastry Xpo, which also features a whimsical wooden bride and groom on the top. Enjoy these lovely images from Marta Locklear!

Bride Emily describes her and husband Dave’s wedding as classically elegant with a hint of nautical, and that could not be more spot on! Held in Hartland, Wisconsin, in Lake Country, the couple’s ceremony at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church was graced with beautiful white flowers from Belle Fiori and bridesmaids dressed in short navy LulaKate dresses, a nod to the waterfront locale. We adore Emily’s simple but sophisticated Jenny Lee gown from Ultimate Bride, especially paired with glam silver metallic Enzo Angiolini heels. For the reception at The Legend at Bristlecone country club, more chic, classic florals and details like place cards in wine corks make this an event that will stand the test of time. We hope you enjoy all of the pretty images from The McCartneys Photography!

I was smitten from the moment I laid eyes upon Ashley and Taylor’s wedding! Every little nuance is perfection—from Ashley’s chic sideswept braid and floral crown to the mismatched peach and cream Tommy Hilfiger bridesmaids dresses and Taylor’s navy Express suit—and the navy, peach, and cream palette is lovely! Blossom Sweet created lush bouquets and centerpieces of roses, sweet pea, berries, and hydrangea, and not one but two gorgeous bridal crowns: a ceremony wreath of baby’s breath and reception crown to match the florals. Sleepy Ridge Golf Course was the beautiful reception setting, which was anchored by sweeping tulle garlands adorning the ceiling and floods of natural light. Ashley would love to to re-live her wedding daily, and we can certainly see why. We just adore all of the lovely images from Rebekah Westover Photography!

After meeting as children while summering in Wisconsin, Caitlin and Nicholas reconnected 10 years later in Chicago. They dated long-distance for several months until Caitlin moved from Miami to Chicago, and their classic Washington DC wedding began their happily ever after! A Catholic mass at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church—where Caitlin was baptized—gave way to the reception at Congressional Country Club, where two generations of her family have been members. The bride and groom wore heirlooms passed down from grandparents on both sides—Caitlin wore her grandmother’s pearl earrings to complement her stunning Romona Keveza gown, and Nick, his grandfather’s wedding ring. The couple rode to and from the church in Caitlin’s grandfather’s 1966 convertible, and at the end of the night, all guests received maple syrup from Nick’s great-uncle’s farm on Washington Island, where Nick & Caitlin first met. We adore the beautiful florals from Petals by the Shore and all of the gorgeous images from Ampersand Photography—see them all in the gallery!

Oh, the absolute gorgeousness of Val and David’s swank and intimate destination wedding in England… we almost can’t handle it! The English rain is so beautiful in these lovely photos by Olivia Leigh Photographie, and we’re dying over David’s top hat. Val and Dave found the perfect Catholic church for their wedding mass in Jesuit Church of the Immaculate Conception Farm Street. Following the service, where the vintage lace look of Val’s Monique Lhuillier gown complemented the historic look of the church, the couple treated guests to an amazing reception at Great Fosters. Fairynuff Flowers helped created a cohesive English garden theme throughout, with bold blooms and lots of soft greenery. Even the coral color of the J.Crew bridesmaids dresses looks straight out of the countryside! To make sure everything went off with only one hitch—theirs!—Val and Dave enlisted the help of Andri Benson of Always Andri Wedding Design. Their vision came together perfectly—see it all in the gallery!

After a traditional wedding mass at Epiphany Catholic Church in Georgetown, Mariana and Chris treated their guests to a unique and fabulous reception at Heurich House Museum in Washington, DC. We are overwhelmed with inspiration from the elegant details, from coral-pink, cream, and green garden florals by Sidra Forman to the bohemian hairpiece Mariana wore with her Elizabeth Fillmore gown. The gown’s pleated skirt and rhinestone embellishments kick up the style factor, and Badgley Mischka heels add a sophisticated pop. The decor gives an English garden vibe, which is effortlessly elegant! Vicki Grafton Photography captured their day so beautifully—see it all 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!

The luxe feel and color scheme of Stephanie and Marcus’s outdoor Texas wedding is just amazing! Held at Elmwood Gardens in Palestine, navy one-shoulder bridesmaids dresses from Brides & Belles of Tyler pop against the lush landscape. La Tee Da Flowers created elaborate bouquets in shades of cream, pink, and yellow, and Stephanie’s was dotted with rhinestone brooches that sparkled in the sunlight. She accented her Lea-Ann Belter Bridal gown with plenty of sparkle—from a gorgeous rhinestone hair pin to a pair of drop earrings and hot pink glitter Kate Spade shoes. Krystle Akin Photography captured the elegant affair, first at the outdoor ceremony and then at the indoor reception, where tables were festooned with blooms and touches of ornate gold. You can’t miss the stunner of a cake, either—the confection from Designs by D’anne twinkled with more rhinestones and a shiny navy blue that tied in the colors from the wedding party. See it all in the gallery!

Anne and Michael blended elements of three cities for their summer wedding. They wed at the River East Art Center in Chicago, where they fell in love. They asked caterer Paramount Events to add Pierce’s Pitt bar-b-que sauce — a favorite from Anne’s hometown of Williamsburg, Virginia — to their pulled pork sliders. And they shared cheese curds from Michael’s old stomping ground of Madison, Wisconsin, with their guests. Just outside the center where the were married, photographer Austin Gros snapped the most beautiful images of the couple with Chicago’s skyline as the background. We also love the classic pink and navy color palette and all the elegant and pretty floral arrangements by Revel Decor!

United Kingdom residents Erin and Aaron chose the gorgeous La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, California for their candlelit, 80-guest destination wedding celebration. They loved the glamorous, old-world, old-Hollywood feel of the hotel and were inspired to create an intimate gathering filled with blush and ivory flowers, silver mercury candles and vases, and gorgeous lace accents. How stunning is Erin’s off-the-shoulder gown? Truly elegant and timeless, you are sure to enjoy these photos by Jackie Wonders Photography!

A day 14 years in the making, Annabelle and Andrew’s wedding was certainly a celebration! A celebration with phenomenal flowers (done by the bride’s aunts!), a pretty venue, a ton of handmade and homemade details, loving friends and family, and one killer pair of shoes! They were married at Murray Hill, a Virginia home with views overlooking the Potomac River, and then moved inside to the barn which was lovingly decorated with hundreds of vintage jars and vases filled with flowers like ranunculus, protea, orchids, hypericum, and freesia. The couple used many vintage and heirloom pieces collected by friends and family which according to the couple made the day feel like “a true labor of love”! Enjoy these sweeter than sweet photos by Emme Wynn Photography!

The Resort at Paws Up has been on my dream vacation list since the moment I heard about it. Never did it cross my mind how spectacular it would be to have a wedding there. And spectacular is most certainly the word that I would use to describe Lindsay and Steven’s wedding…along with unique, thoughtful, and downright breathtaking. Bridesmaids wore separates from J Crew and French Connection and carried rustic yet elegant bouquets by Habitat Floral Studio in shades of soft peach and cranberry. We are madly in love with the gorgeous tablescapes, the horse-drawn wagon, and the positively stunning Montana scenery. The fabulous Michele M. Waite captured all of these gorgeous images – get ready to fall in love!

Pretty flowers, pale pink dresses, and an elegant outdoor venue… Laura and Steve’s Nashville wedding is garden party perfection! The details of their wedding truly couldn’t be prettier. They chose a palette of pale pink and mint green and selected hydrangea, peonies, and roses in arrangements by Enchanted Florist to decorate the outdoor gazebo at CJ’s off the Square. I love the paper flower escort cards and the gorgeous chandeliers but I can’t stop drooling over her amazing Louboutins! What a marvelous day with marvelous photos by Kristyn Hogan!

If Diana and Danny’s everyday lives are even half as chic as their Southern California wedding, they’re definitely some of the most stylish people ever! This beautiful couple was married at the Cravens Estate in Pasadena surrounded by friends and family from all over. There are many details about their wedding that I love (like Diana’s amazing shoes and accessories) but once I saw their colorful florals I was smitten! Rooted Harmony blended rich textures and colors to create bright and elegant arrangements that include peonies, roses, wax flower, astilbe, eucalyptus, and even succulents! What a gorgeous wedding with gorgeous photos by Connie Lyu Photography!
