Classic Country Club Wedding

Lauren and Jack’s Westmoreland Country Club wedding is so beautiful, it’s like a dream! The club, with its immaculate landscaping and tent with twinkling lights was the perfect choice for the couple’s late summer event. Filled with the most beautiful blooms and greenery, the overall feel is romantic and sophisticated with just a touch of whimsy and the reception tent feels like a hidden secret garden! Lauren is a vision in a flowing Mikaella gown, beautifully accented with a colorful, lush bouquet designed by Four Finches. There’s not a single detail we aren’t completely smitten by, and it’s all captured beautifully by Bonphotage!

Elegant, romantic, and colorful perfectly describes Tara and Georg’s wedding at Sarasota’s sophisticated Field Club. The couple lived in Italy for a time, and added some subtle Tuscan vibes to their Florida soiree. Working with Nicole of NK Productions (which Tara describes as “the best decision we ever made”), Tara and Georg created a romantic setting with stunning florals by Victoria Blooms that featured large coral peonies, olive leaf, and blush garden roses. Our favorite detail? The entrance fountain overflowing with lush florals! Petite bottles of olive oil served as place cards and favors, atop french blue linens and set next to table numbers hand-drawn by Tara’s maid of honor, labeled as their favorite Italian cities. Every small detail is flawless and beautifully captured by Tiffani Jones!

Laura and Sebastian grew up in two different worlds—he from England and she from Alabama—so when planning their Austin wedding, the couple had a grand time combining their backgrounds in a fun, yet classic, way! The setting of Austin’s Villa Del Lago was perfect for their “English garden” wedding with a Southern dinner party atmosphere. STEMS Floral Design created natural and lush florals with hydrangea, roses, eucalyptus, and magnolia leaves that perfectly complemented the ladies’ royal blue Amsale bridesmaids dresses and Laura’s lovely Watters gown, and created a romantic atmosphere atop the tented reception’s elegant farm tables. The celebration was a complete melding of Laura and Sebastian’s cultures, right down to the day’s menu, which featured bangers and mash alongside fried quail with buttermilk ranch dressing. We’re simply spellbound by the timeless images captured by Jenna McElroy Photography!

Andrew and Julie’s DC wedding was quintessentially classic, reminiscent of its locale. The wedding party enjoyed a leisurely morning at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City as Julie slipped into her stunning Liancarlo gown, and then made their way to Arlington’s Restoration Anglican Church, a bright and airy chapel overflowing with sunlight. The couple worked with Dutch Floral Garden, who created beautiful one-of-a-kind window decor for the chapel, with no two windows being alike. Afterward, the stately Army Navy Country Club was home to an elegant reception. The combination of magnificent chandeliers and towering centerpieces brought intimacy and elegance to the grand ballroom. Guests captured a glimpse of the Washington Monument from the rooftop cocktail hour and then were treated to a miniature version inside at the escort card table—such a fun touch! The Lego monument was built entirely by hand by none other than the groom himself, and the bed of grass surrounding the monument was real, soft-to-the-touch lush green grass. Guests danced the night away to the sounds of DJ Evan Reitmeyer, and then Andrew and Julie escaped down the grand staircase among hundreds of fluttering bubbles. Each moment is beautifully captured by Stephanie Yonce Photography!

Vero Beach’s Quail Valley River Club sits along the Indian River and made for a picturesque setting for Kim and Drew’s Florida wedding! With a fresh color palette of ivory, green, and gold, their wedding was equal parts waterside preppy and clean-and-classic! The couple both grew up in Vero Beach, but didn’t connect until they were living in NYC, so celebrating at home in Florida with both their Florida and NYC friends and family was special. Kim, her best friend Jen, and her mother-in-law Glen (an artist) worked together to create the stationery, with a laurel wreath emblem hand-painted by Glen, who also created the husband and wife chair signs for the reception. The chic and modern aesthetic of the day carried through to the fashion, and we are head over heels for Kim’s bridal ensemble of Karen Willis Holmes separates, Alexis Bittar earrings, and relaxed waves styled by Haute Dry. Ivory J.Crew and Amsale frocks for the maids were accented with bouquets of lisianthus, astilbe, rose, and greenery from Lara’s Theme. Not to be outdone, Drew donned a navy suit from Combatant Gentlemen and bow tie from Fox & Brie. Prepare to be transported to paradise in the beautiful images from Charlie Juliet Photography!

Rebecca and Cory were married on a spectacular August day at the Wentworth By The Sea Country Club in Rye, New Hampshire. The couple selected a pretty, neutral palette of cream, gold, and blush, and after a ceremony along the water, moved inside the nearby reception tent for an evening of celebration with their nearest and dearest. Inspired by the waterside setting, the couple incorporated subtle seaside details into their wedding, including adorable oyster shell place cards with calligraphy by Honey Honey Calligraphy. Flower Kiosk created a mix of garland and traditional centerpieces with soft hydrangea and roses, and our favorite detail may just be the romantic swaths of greenery on the bride and groom’s chairs! The I Do Scene made sure that the day was more perfect than Rebecca and Cory could ever hope for, and every detail came together to create a day they will never forget. Enjoy each beautiful image from Rachel Red Photography!

Laura and James were married on a lovely summer day at Hamilton Farm Golf Club in Gladstone, New Jersey. Rolling hills and trees were the perfect backdrop for the ceremony, held alongside the mansion overlooking the golf course, and the natural beauty of the upper lawn set the stage for the cocktail hour. The reception tent featured punchy florals from Jardiniere and cheerful details like the coasters from For Your Party and balloon guest book by Suzy Shoppe. Peach Donna Morgan bridesmaids dresses were the perfect complement to Laura’s gorgeous and airy Jim Hjelm gown. Peony Events made sure the day went off without a hitch, and guests partied throughout the evening to the sounds of Phase One. We are head over heels for these classic images from Charlie Juliet Photography!

Elizabeth describes her San Juan Capistrano wedding to Phillip as “classic elegance with a little twist” and we couldn’t agree more! We simply love their take on chic California style. After a traditional ceremony at Mission Basilica San Juan Capistrano, guests gathered at Marbella Country Club, where they were greeted with a stunning reception on the club terrace, designed by Intertwined Events. Gorgeous tables in tones of blush, peach, and champagne set beneath glittering chandeliers and string lights. Inviting Occasion created fluffy centerpieces of peach dahlias, snow white peonies, and blush astilbe, accenting the tables with mercury glass candlesticks and pink taper candles. We love Elizabeth’s neutral makeup and relaxed hair, styled by Kacee Geoffroy. Her natural beauty shines through and she is a vision in a structured Rivini gown. Enjoy every single frame from Andrea Patricia Photography!

Charleston’s Old Wide Awake Plantation is a beautiful and serene setting, exactly the environment that Jennifer and Bradley envisioned when planning their Lowcountry soiree. Jennifer’s father and brother built the arbor for their ceremony, which was set amongst the plantation’s oak trees with dripping Spanish moss. The couple let the location take center stage and selected a neutral color palette of khaki, white, and gold. The outdoor reception in the warm summer air featured string lights and flowers that Jennifer arranged herself with blooms from Fifty Flowers. We love the sweet Southern touches, including hand-stamped muslin bags of grits as favors and a sweet potato wedding cake from Kathy and Company. Every image from Amy Arrington Photography is undeniably lovely!

Katie and Brian’s Omaha Country Club wedding is oozing with romance and the prettiest details! The couple’s dreamy day was designed by Lovestru.ck, and the end result was an intimate affair filled with lots of candles, flowers, ivory, champagne, and blush along with fun “pops” of color! A neutral color palette was enhanced with coral and crimson in the florals by Flowers for Special Occasions and we adore the subtle pink ombre wash on the menus from Lovestru.ck. Katie is resplendent in her Hayley Paige gown; her soft updo by Kontempo Salon is perfectly romantic. We are lost in the love Katie and Brian share through these beautiful images from Megan Pomeroy!

“We knew that we wanted an intimate setting that was surrounded by lush greenery, and we fell in love with the beautiful Firestone Vineyard in Los Olivos, California,” says bride Amy. We’re in love, too, with every lush and gorgeous detail of Amy and Brett’s wedding, especially the peonies! “The flowers were some of most beautiful floral arrangements I have seen! “We were absolutely blown away by the work that Green Leaf Designs did,” says Amy. Fluffy bouquets and table centerpieces included peonies, garden roses, gardenias, and hydrangeas in shades of coral, peach, pink, and ivory. Also draped with gorgeous florals was the couple’s ceremony arch, beneath which Amy stood wearing a classic strapless gown and lace-edged veil. Coral bridesmaids dresses continued the color palette. We adore the whimsical details of the pink-and-blue trellis-print ceremony programs by Ree Jae Chi. Taking family duties far beyond the expected, Amy’s sister, a wedding planner at CCL Weddings & Events, engineered nearly every element of the big day herself. Enjoy these exquisite images from Christine Farah Photography!

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!

We have the most lovely and whimsical spring wedding today, that of Susan and David, two self-professed “hopeless romantics”! After discussing an elopement somewhere exotic, such as an African safari or scuba diving with turtles, they instead realized that they couldn’t imagine celebrating without their family and friends, and settled on one of their favorite vacation destinations, Aspen, Colorado. Aspen’s intimate, small-town feel was the perfect setting for their nuptials. Susan and David worked with Virginia and Kate of Bluebird Productions to bring their vision to life. A few non-negotiable elements—the color yellow, lily of the valley, and animals (don’t you just adore all of the gold animal figurines?)—came together with gorgeous spring flowers by Carolyn’s Flowers, the most beautiful seafoam green bridesmaids dresses from Shoshanna, and the gorgeous, natural setting of the Roaring Fork Club to create one of our favorite weddings! We love all of the unique and personal details and, of course, all of the beautiful images from Kate Holstein!

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!

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.

If you could imagine what a down home southern wedding would look like with a healthy serving of sophistication, we think it’s Shannon and Christian’s wedding, hands down. Our hats are off to Molliner Photography for capturing the sumptuous images we get to share with all of you. This Jekyll Island fête is one for the Pinterest boards (and don’t be afraid to add all of the images!). It’s draped in neutrals galore; set against the couple’s picture-perfect venue, Crane Cottage; and the blooms by Straton Hall Events are stellar. We can just imagine dancing the night away under the mesh of the palmetto and oak trees. It’s giving us all the heart eyes, y’all!

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.

On the day of Katie and Alan’s wedding, Dallas decided to unleash a massive storm, so the couple and their wedding planner, Sarah of Keestone Events, moved their planned outdoor ceremony inside the gorgeous ballroom of Arlington Hall. And while we wouldn’t call a monsoon on your wedding day ideal, we have to say that the stunning indoor celebration may just have been a blessing in disguise! The golden ballroom made a beautiful ceremony and reception setting, and the elegant floral arch by Moss Floral Design did double duty as ceremony altar and a lovely backdrop for the reception! For the reception, white and gold centerpieces enhanced the golden beauty of the ballroom, while a pop of purple echoed the bridesmaids flowing dresses. The result is timeless perfection, beautifully captured by Dyan Kethley Photography!

Lindsay and Andrew chose the stunning Walker’s Landing in Amelia Island, Florida for their wedding, and the venue set the tone for their wedding style. Set on the water and with a bit of a rustic vibe, the venue was a perfect mix of whimsy and elegance. Lindsay’s bridesmaids donned beautiful mismatched champagne dresses, while the men kept it classic in tuxes, with Andrew sporting a white dinner jacket. Tiffany of Liz Stewart Floral Design crafted incredible florals to accent the flowing dresses and woodsy reception space. Edison bulbs and draped greenery were a “must have”, says the couple, along with dramatic swaths of drapery from the ceiling, and the organic, loose bouquets and centerpieces added to the romantic feel of the day. This truly unique and stunning wedding, captured by Brooke Images, is one we know you’ll fall in love with!

Kathleen and Joey’s grandparents grew up across the street from each other, so it was perhaps destiny that these two were meant to be together! They both come from large, Irish Catholic families, and knew they wanted to keep their wedding close to home. Their traditional Catholic ceremony was held at the church were Kathleen attended grade school, and their reception was at the North Shore Country Club where both of their families belong. The November nuptials gave a nod to beautiful fall tones and greenery, while also keeping things classic and elegant. Kathleen donned an elegant Carolina Herrera gown, with the same diamond barrette worn by each of her sisters on their wedding days – a gift from their grandmother. We adore this timeless day and know you’ll fall in love with the images from Julia Franzosa Photography!
