Chic Wedding on the Hudson River

We are completely smitten with the romantic and airy feel of Jae and Robert’s wedding at The Highlands Country Club in Garrison, NY. After a gorgeous ceremony under a to-die-for floral arch, Ivie Joy Floral Arts & Events brought the feeling of a garden indoors for the reception with natural and organic arrangements of anemones, ranunculus, garden rose, dahlia, and hydrangea, in beautiful blush and white tones. Along with white chiavari chairs, the light tones were a perfect match for sleek wooden tables in the gorgeous dining room of The Highlands. Sweet details such as doughnut cufflinks (both are dessert lovers!) and a custom gown from Mika Inatome made Jae and Robert’s wedding uniquely personal to them, and the entire day is beautifully captured by Brklyn View 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!

Marisa and Sean fell in love with the views and airy ballroom of Pleasonton, California’s The Club at Ruby Hill at first sight, and it was a perfect choice for their summer wedding. A ceremony under the gorgeous outdoor trellis gave way to a chic blush and gold reception with pretty centerpieces by Katherine Bergman of roses and hydrangea. Marisa originally envisioned a form-fitting gown, but after trying on a stunning Pronovias ballgown, she knew it was “the one”, and Bo Lee Bridal added a custom sash to complete the look. We’re loving this sweet soiree and The Ganeys captured each moment to perfection!

When a hurricane mucks up your wedding day plans, what is left to do but to mix it up and go on your honeymoon first! Two weeks after Mother Nature cancelled their ceremony, Mark and Morgan were married on a picture-perfect St. Augustine, Florida day! The Big Event had a huge task rescheduling a complete wedding, but it couldn’t have gone more smoothly, and Morgan says “It was the best day ever!” The couple selected the clean and simple The River House for their reception. Its unfussy atmosphere allowed the focus to be on the marriage and celebration! Aime Peterson Flowers & Event Design accented the ballroom with soft florals in white and cream and pretty gray linens for a pop of color. Mark and Morgan wanted their guests to eat, drink, dance, and have a great time, and we love the joyous atmosphere in the beautiful photos from PSJ Photography!

Twelve years after they first met, Tori and Brian married on a stunning spring day among the cherry blossoms in New Jersey. Brilliant blue skies and the picturesque setting of The Spring Lake Bath and Tennis Club set the stage, and the couple selected a color palette of pink and green to echo the season. Tori is stunning in a mermaid gown by Mark Zunino from Kleinfeld with loose flowing waves styled by Michael Livesy. Continuing the pink theme of the day, bridesmaids mixed and matched gowns in shades from blush to copper, several donning metallic confections by Adrianna Papell. Fun and festivity abound in the film from NST Pictures and images by Ryon Lockhart Photography!

Rachel and Jacob’s vision was “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and, with a lot of love and a fabulous team of wedding pros, their wedding at Garrison, New York’s Highlands Country Club brought that dream to life! As English teachers, the couple named each reception table after a favorite book. Rachel’s stepmother, Gina Palmer, created illustrations and graphics for all of the stationery, table cards, and menus. Bernadette from The River Garden created romantic and natural florals—with olive leaf, peonies, snapdragons, anemones, and roses—to truly transform the space into a veritable indoor garden! There’s so much sweetness and light in each beautiful image from Nicole DeTone Photography!

Karen and Joe celebrated their intimate and joyous wedding at Natirar, a historical estate tucked away in the hills of Somerset County, New Jersey. Their was a celebration of lifelong love, after meeting each other in kindergarten and growing up as best friends! With an intimate guest list—the couple considered everyone who attended to be family—Karen and Joe were able to focus on the small details to make it as personal as possible, and truly symbolize the joining of their two families. The wedding was truly a labor of love as Karen handmade the programs, menus, signage, and labels for the Villa Rose Wine favors! Bedminster Florist created gorgeous arrangements for the reception’s estate table and an lush bouquet in shades of red and pink to complement Karen’s stunning Oleg Cassini gown. As always, each and every image from one of our favorite ladies, Brandi of Alexis June Weddings, is flawless! We know you’ll be smitten!

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!

Elegant and sophisticated, Chloe and Jonathan’s wedding featured not only one but two New York City neighborhoods. Grace Church in Brooklyn Heights is in a magical setting, sitting near the promenade with views of lower Manhattan’s iconic skyline—a perfect spot to catch a gorgeous sunset! Although it was terribly cold on their November wedding day, the bridal party braved frozen toes for portraits in their stunning Amsale dresses and tuxedos from The Black Tux. Chloe, Jonathan, and their guests traveled to Manhattan’s Upper East Side to the Harold Pratt House for the intimate reception designed by Celebrations Event and featuring beautiful ivory and blush florals by Stems Floral Design. Chloe is a vision in a stunning Mika Inatome gown, and we are head over heels for the elegant images from Rebecca Yale Photography!

A former Falcons cheerleader, Jonna wanted the quintessential Atlanta wedding, and selected the quintessential Atlanta venue, the stately Georgian Terrace Hotel, an institution since 1911. Jonna and Chip worked with Rittenhouse Designs & Events to create their elegant ceremony and reception, featuring centerpieces of fluffy white hydrangea and blush roses and a centerpiece monogrammed cake from Frosted Pumpkin. This wedding is truly a fairytale event, complete with a Cinderella carriage from Fantasy Carriages. We adore each and every image from Melinda Humphries Photography!

Madeline and Nick chose the historic Patrick Haley Mansion in the Chicago suburb of Joliet for their lovely summer wedding. The grounds of the stately mansion provided a beautiful backdrop for their garden ceremony, and the impeccable ballroom housed their classic reception, in a palette of ivory, gold, and pink. Anthony Gowder Designs mixed pretty pink roses and delicate white hydrangea with floating candles in glass vessels to line the tabletops, which featured elegant gold-rimmed china. Madeline’s Maggie Sottero gown and BHLDN headpiece is effortlessly chic, and we adore each and every image from Kristin La Voie Photography!

We are head over heels for the soft, elegant touches in Elyse and Matt’s classic DC wedding! Bridesmaids in shades of pale blue and taupe from Twobirds were perfectly complemented by lush blooms created by Katie Martin and her team at Elegance & Simplicity. Oh how we love the fluffy blush dahlias and mauve astilbe! After a traditional ceremony at the Cosmos Club, guests moved to the Fairfax Hotel, where they danced the night away to tunes from Nightsong. Elyse is resplendent in her Anne Barge gown from Mark Ingram. Enjoy all of these gorgeous images from Abby Jiu Photography!

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!

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!

Jessica and Brett’s effortlessly elegant New England waterfront wedding is perfect in so many ways! The setting of Belle Mer in Newport, Rhode Island, is idyllic, and soft colors whisper romance. Strapless blush bridesmaids dresses by Flair Bridesmaids are barely a shade deeper than Jessica’s scalloped Modern Trousseau gown; the texture of it reminds us of gentle waves. Keeping with the gauzy feel of the scheme, flowers from Greenlion Design in shades of white and pink sprout from bright green stems that acknowledge the surrounding landscape. Every image from Erin McGinn is making us swoon! We adore the arbor that frames the water for Jessica and Brett’s ceremony, and the earthy wood touches at their mostly pink and white reception make everything feel a bit less precious. Also to die for: the square wedding cake created by the staff at Belle Mer, which turned out to be the perfect spot for the couple’s classic but memorable affair! See all of the swoon-worthy details in the gallery!

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!

Kristen and Daniel’s wedding day was filled to the brim with festivities and honored each of their family’s cultures with two separate wedding ceremonies! The celebration began with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony where the bride and groom served tea to each set of parents to show their respect and gratitude. Later in the day, Kristen changed from her vibrant red gown to a romantic lace BHLDN gown for a Jewish ceremony under a stunning chuppah decorated with blush, peach, and ivory roses and peonies by Holly Chapple Flowers. They ended the evening with dinner, dancing, and even a sparker send-off filled with cheers from all their closest friends and family. There is so much beauty and love in this wedding so make sure you view the whole gallery below for even more photos from Jessica Green Photography!

It’s no small feat to transform the indoors into the outdoors, but when Whitney and Steven wanted their museum wedding to have a natural garden vibe, Ann Travis Events helped them do just that. Together, they created an environment that was relaxed and fun with a reception layout encouraging guests to mingle, sample foods brought in from all over the city, and even tour the museum on their own, all under the most lush and beautiful garlands of greenery woven into twinkling cafe lights. Studio Terrain not only worked their magic at the reception, but also in the stunning garden-inspired bouquets filled with dahlias, zinnias, roses, and Queen Anne’s lace, all in the softest shades of pink, peach, and ivory. You will absolutely want to see all of the photos from this inspiration of a wedding by J&N Studios, so be sure to check out the full gallery below!

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.
