Ivory + Pink Wine Country Wedding

Claire and Will’s breathtaking St. Helena wedding is such a fresh and classic affair to start the new year! Lush rose, hydrangea and orchid blooms in shades of cream and white from Paul Stokey of Tesoro set the stage for an elegant outdoor ceremony at Meadowood Napa Valley. Soft, one-shoulder bridesmaids dresses by Joanna August from Bella Bridesmaid are subtle but gorgeous, especially next to Claire’s lace cap-sleeve Romona Keveza Collection gown! We adore the sweet silver sparkle of her Jimmy Choo heels as well. These stunning images from Megan Clouse catch all the highlights, from timeless stationery by Write Selection to the filmy elegance of Claire’s veil from Neiman Marcus and the simple cake by Perfect Endings, festooned with fresh floral garlands. We’re swooning over all of these romantic details!

We’ll get to all the gorgeous details of Tiffany and Aryn’s wedding in one second—as soon as we finish gaping at her amazing Lazaro gown! Wow. These fabulous photos from Adeline & Grace Photography show a simply stunning day at Auberge du Soleil in Napa. Lots of purple and lavender details, from stationery created by Chewing the Cud to the various styles and hues of the bridesmaids dresses, are slightly unexpected and exotic. We can’t get over the lushness of the cream, pink, lavender, and green florals by Max Gill Design. Even more fresh flowers festoon the intricate cake from Perfect Endings—so pretty! See all of the stunning details in the gallery!

With the beautiful Santa Barbara coastline as the backdrop and the elegant setting of the Bacara Resort & Spa, you know you have a stage set for perfection, and Brittany and Ahdev’s wedding does not disappoint! Their gorgeous outdoor affair features the most stunning blooms from Camellia Floral Design—dahlias, fluffy roses and hydrangea, and a lovely ribbon-tied bouquet that perfectly complement Brittany’s Romona Keveza gown. We love the chic white linens from La Tavola against deep wooden estate tables, set beneath string lights for the romantic reception. Each and every image from Jasmine Star has us swooning!

Claudia and Greg chose the Woman’s Club of Coconut Grove in Miami for their wedding festivities because the South Florida location represents their family roots but the look of the venue called to mind their former loft in Denver and their current home in Brooklyn. It’s a gorgeous estate by the water, which was a lovely site for an outdoor ceremony. Claudia looked amazing in a Watters gown from RK Bridal, paired with vintage jewelry and blush shoes from BHLDN that remind us of Old Hollywood. Lush blooms of peonies, hydrangeas and roses from Glady’s Flowers are a classic and elegant choice, and we love the earthiness of the dusty miller that’s mixed in Claudia’s bouquet. Thanks to the one-stop help of Exquisite Productions, who coordinated the wedding day, catering, rentals, linens, and DJ for their laid-back reception, Claudia and Greg didn’t have to worry about the details of their day. All of these images from Tega Photography are gorgeous, but we especially love the romantic first look shots at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens!

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!

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!

Fair warning: You may need a minute to recover after you view this gorgeous Santa Ynez, California wedding photographed by Jose Villa. Orchestrated by event designer Alexandra Kolendrianos, Brianne and Brian’s wedding is flawless in every way possible, from Brianne’s delicate lace Claire Pettibone dress to fluffy, romantic flower arrangements by Mindy Rice Floral and Event Design. Brianne worked with designer Stone Cold Fox to custom make the gorgeous bridesmaids dresses! Click through to the gallery for all of the gorgeousness!

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!

Sonoma Valley weddings are one of the few guarantees in life: always breathtaking! Kristy and Charles chose B.R. Cohn Winery & Olive Oil Company in Glen Ellen for their festivities, and they got a picture-perfect day, which shows clearly in the images from photographer Julie Mikos. The short, salmon-colored lace bridesmaids dresses—custom made by Eileen West—are sweet and romantic paired with small bouquets of dahlias, parrot tulips and small succulents from PoppyStone Floral Couture. Olive topiaries placed at the ceremony site and on reception tables gave a nod to the vineyard locale. Kristy’s simple but fabulous Romona Keveza Collection gown complemented the surroundings as well, a timeless but statement-making strapless dress topped with a Swarovski Crystal necklace that’s fit for Cinderella! Meritage Catering took care of all the delicious details, including a small cake topped with the most adorable bride, groom and dog we’ve ever seen—the perfect ending to a fairy tale day!

Jessica and Andrew’s wedding at Meadowood resort in Napa Valley was like every couple’s dream come true: gorgeous pale bouquets by Kathleen Deery Design; a gauzy, tiered-ruffle Vera Wang gown; and an all-white cake that hardly looks real from Perfect Endings. The breathtaking ceremony featured chairs wrapped in silk swags fastened with lush hydrangea-and-rose arrangements. Lisa Lefkowitz captured stunning details, like gray-blue silk tablecloths inside the reception tent, intimate vintage-inspired seating areas on the lawn, and the beautiful blue bridesmaids dresses that popped against all of the white and airy decor. We’re completely smitten and know you will be too!

“The recurring theme in my wedding,” Kassie said of her wine country nuptials to Skylar, “was everything had to be custom. Everything done by hand.” Take, for example, the couple’s deep violet invitations, letter pressed by Elizabeth Hubbell Studio on an antique printing machine. Or the fact that the bride hand-rolled cigars and gave them to guests as favors. Each floral vessel—some made of pipe fittings and scrap metal—was hand-picked by Kassie and event designer Dee Merz. But the pièce de résistance of this custom fête was the bride’s gift to her groom. “I surprised him by designing a table made of the Redwood his late father, Bruce, used to build his cabin,” Kassie said. “The table was set up as our head table and—in front of all of our guests—I gave my speech, revealing to Skylar what I had done with his dad’s Redwood. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room!” Soak up all the beauty photographed by Lisa Lefkowitz, if you can!

New Yorkers Michele and Ron chose Auberge du Soleil in Napa for their destination wedding. The entire event was impeccably elegant, no detail was left out! They used their family crest throughout their wedding, from the invitations, to the favors, even on the cake! I love the beautiful pink florals by Valley Flora in assorted silver vessels and the use of moss and burlap wrapped favors brought just a touch of rustic into the event. It gives it a very old-world European feel, don’t you think? From top to bottom, every single detail of this wedding is absolutely divine and I’m so thankful to Julie Mikos for these gorgeous photos today!

Patrice and Nick met in one of the most unique ways we’ve heard of: the pair were production assistants on former TV sitcom “The New Adventures of Old Christine”. They started out as friends and their relationship bloomed from there, ultimately with an inventive engagement proposal that involved Patrice’s boss (read more below about that fun tale). They wanted a wedding that drew in their love for California, Patrice’s Filipino heritage, and an overwhelming elegance and thoughtfulness. Sabine Scherer Photography captured their wedding, from the stunning ceremony at Patrice’s family church, St. Dominic Catholic Church to their Bently Reserve reception. Their reception venue is hailed for its opulence, so to add balance, Mango Muse Events and Violetta Flowers pulled in live trees, organic asymmetrical elements and garlands, and added meaningful orchids and roses (as an homage to family that had passed on). Of course, fun had to be had, so to kick off their reception, the newlyweds partnered up to do a medley dance that ended with hip hop. We love all of the injections of Patrice and Nick’s fun personalities and fascinating lives all throughout their big day.

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.

Min and Roy’s Hong Kong wedding is a perfect blend of classic elegance and romance. After a ceremony at the Béthanie Chapel—a beautiful and serene historic building set on a hill overlooking the coastline of Southern Hong Kong—guests traveled to Central’s gorgeous Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong for a stunning reception planned by White Bridal Salon and designed by Ellermann Flower Boutique & Event Atelier. Tables were bedecked in an abundance of flowers and candles, with a mix of garden roses, ranunculus, lilac, and astilbe in shades of ivory and white with accents of eucalyptus and dusty miller. Antique silver and crystal vessels complete the simple but elegant look. Min is utterly resplendent in a lace Monique Lhuillier gown, and the love between these two is palpable in the gorgeous images from Jada Poon Photography!

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!

We are simply dazzled by Devin and Ryan’s gorgeous Napa Valley wedding, held at a lush private estate in the heart of wine country! Lush spring blooms, olive branches, and details in lovely peach and green hues make this affair classic and pretty, all thanks to the expertise of Napa Valley Custom Events by Sharon Burns. Even the invitations from Foglio Press incorporate the olive leaf theme. Devin’s romantic strapless gown and filmy peach bridesmaids dresses are lovely at the outdoor ceremony, which was also punctuated with peonies and other exotic blooms from Julie Stevens Design. These images from Julie Kay Kelly Photography are just brimming with beautiful details, and we love them all!

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!

Lauren and Zach’s Chicago wedding is just as elegant as can be, with soft and sweet details that will be in style forever! The breathtaking Saint Clement Parish served as the location of the Catholic ceremony before the couple’s reception at Galleria Marchetti. Unique bouquets from Cornelia McNamara that included poppies and dusty miller are one of our favorite details of this affair, and the alternating pastel floral and baby’s breath arrangements at the reception have us drooling as well! Pretty pink bridesmaids dresses from Jordan are lovely, and the silhouettes complement Lauren’s Kittychen Couture gown, which she paired with a mantilla veil from Veiled Beauty. In a departure from typical fondant cakes, Lauren and Zach chose a buttercream frosted confection from Alliance Bakery, festooned with lush blooms in shades of pink and peach.The entire scheme is stunning, as you can see in these amazing images from Justine Bursoni!

Oh, we do love a playful theme around here, and Valerie and Michael’s wedding doesn’t disappoint! We love these happy images from Alders Photography, especially the ones centered around the Ferris wheel and oversize balloons! We also adore the drama of strands of lights hanging from the trees during the couple’s outdoor ceremony at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. Mulberry Row weaved together arrangements of pink and green flowers dotted with succulents for a slightly rustic feel, and bridesmaids wore sweet pink dresses by Bill Levkoff that complemented the florals. Valerie stunned in a St. Patrick gown from Karoza Bridal. Continuing the carnival theme at the reception, the couple opted for fun touches like popcorn and a cotton candy cart from Dolly’s Sweet Dreams Cotton Candy, along with a simple cake from Nikol Nakamura. And we can’t leave out a nod to Mindy Roderick Weddings & Events, who pulled together this flawless affair—see it all in the gallery!
