Glam + Rustic Fall Wedding

Jess and Bassey combined neutral tones with a botanical feel for their St. Louis wedding. Kristin Ashley Events curated the event, pulling together bohemian details, such as a feather at each place setting, with organic elements like the unique baby’s breath reception chandelier. Bloomin’ Buckets created centerpieces in accents of pink and green to bring color to the earthy palette of the Forest Park Visitors Center. Each place setting was dressed with a calligraphy quote from the couple’s favorite band, Mumford and Sons. Sadly, Bassey lost his brother, who was to be his best man, three weeks before their wedding. To honor Imoh, the couple had tie bands engraved in his memory for their groomsmen. These two are so radiant with joy and love, even in the face of their recent loss, as shown in their gorgeous trailer from Sweet Tea Media and in the beautiful images from Heather Roth Fine Art Photography.

Casual elegance was the theme of the day for Lindsay and Charles’ lovely St. Louis wedding. The couple gave nods to tradition and family, as Lindsay’s fluffy bouquet created by Sisters Floral Design Studio was wrapped with lace from her mother’s wedding dress, the champagne flutes for the reception toast were from Charles’ parent’s wedding, and Lindsay’s matron of honor gifted her extra tulle from her own wedding dress to be added to Lindsay’s gown. During their engagement, Charles was deployed to Afghanistan, and their love for the USA was the theme of the day, with pretty bridesmaids dresses in shades of pink and red from LoveLane, flag striped suspenders on the groomsmen, and a traditional Military Saber Ceremony. Charles’ best friend is currently deployed, and he surprised the couple with a recorded speech. “Complete with a human size cardboard cutout his groomsmen had ordered of Tyler, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.”, says Lindsay. We love each and every moment of this gorgeous day captured by Clary Pfeiffer!

Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, Tara and Josh decided to tie the knot in the most fairytale-esque way possible – a dream wedding at Mt. Woodson Castle. With stunning views and enchanting decor, this venue is a true gem in the San Diego area. As the sun sets over the mountains and the castle lights up, it’s easy to imagine a prince and princess whisking away into the night. Tara and Josh’s wedding will undoubtedly live up to every little girl’s fairytale dream, complete with a happily ever after that will last a lifetime.

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!

Madeline describes her wedding to Garrett as “the best day of my life, full of people I love and incredible memories.” After an intimate ceremony at the Salt Lake City LDS Temple, the couple gathered with their closest friends and family for a fabulous party at This is the Place Heritage Park. Their reception was classic and glamorous, filled with rustic details. Tinge Floral created lush, natural arrangements in shades of blush, pink, and green, with a mix of floral centerpieces and arrangements of tall olive branches. For a personal touch, Madeline hand-lettered the menus, place cards, and invitations, creating wonderful keepsakes of their special day! Guests were treated to a cozy dinner with gourmet fare from Le Croissant Catering, and danced the night away to tunes from The Gatsbys. The warm and wonderful feelings of the day were captured beautifully by Green Apple Photography!

No one does a pretty mountain wedding like the amazingly talented Michelle Leo Events and it’s easy to see why this summer Park City stunner is a favorite! The picturesque Montage Deer Valley was the setting for Joe and McKenzie’s summer soiree. With a pastel color palette ranging from powder blue to soft blush and texture galore, the wedding’s design is all about classic romance. After an outdoor ceremony in the glorious Utah sun, guests moved inside and were greeted with a cozy reception room, featuring taper candles, luxurious rosette table runners, and garden-style arrangements from Urban Chateau Floral. Perhaps our favorite details? The delicate gold glass chargers and rose gold flatware. We simply adore the beautiful setting and lovely images from Shannon Elizabeth Photography!

Cheyenne and John’s lovely wedding at The Outdoor Art Club in Mill Valley, California, is an earthy but elegant interpretation of the local scenery, with garden florals by Studio Choo and a ceremony beneath a canopy of lush green trees. Continuing with the bohemian spirit of the day, Cheyenne’s matron of honor and solo bridesmaid chose their own dresses from J.Crew and Free People, while Cheyenne stunned in a column-style lace gown from Atelier des Modistes. We love the green garland details on Cheyenne and John’s stationery from Painted Tongue Studios and menu cards from Fairmount Creates, which ties in with the rustic look of the venue. Events by Satra helped the couple coordinate the day, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Organic touches like seed packet favors and loose arrangements in gold and green reinforced the laid-back elegance of the affair, creating a cozy ambience. We are loving every single image from Matthias Photography!

Elizabeth and Robert perfected rustic elegance with their wedding at Camp Lucy, in Dripping Springs outside of Austin, Texas. We just love the sweet, pastel colors against the woodsy venue–gorgeous lush blooms from Bouquets of Austin, pale blush bridesmaids dresses from Monique Lhuillier, and lots of lace on Elizabeth’s Enzoani gown and cathedral veil from Bridal Boutique. We’re drawn to these pretty photos from Photography by Vanessa, especially with details of the tri-fold ceremony programs by Shine Wedding Invitations and a cake by Coco Paloma Desserts festooned with fresh blooms. Elegant rentals from Whim Event Rentals mix with iron pieces from Mancino Iron Rentals, which reinforce the romantic, rustic theme. Says Elizabeth of their “gorgeous” wedding, “We wanted a romantic and intimate hill country wedding. It felt like a perfect Texas weekend.” We couldn’t agree more!

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!

From the story told in these images from Blue Rose Photography, Ariel and Collin couldn’t have chosen a more perfect, light-drenched place for their wedding than Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop, Washington! The mountains in the backdrop are majestic and gorgeous partnered with the mossy orange and gold fall florals from Patti Bosket Au Naturel, especially the wreaths hanging on freestanding doors that “open” up to the ceremony. The rust-orange color repeats on stationery from Carlson Craft. Navy bridesmaids dresses from H&M are a great alternative to black and look fabulous paired with the bold flowers. Ariel was practically floating in an Essense of Australia gown—we love the tiers of ruffles on her skirt! Stop by the gallery to enjoy all of the images from this stunning autumn wedding!

Sydney and Klayton’s wedding was the epitome of class and beauty. As guests arrived, they were immediately enamored by the gorgeous outdoor scenery that surrounded them. It was as if Mother Nature was showing off her skills by creating the perfect backdrop for this elegant affair. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers seamlessly blended with the sophisticated décor, making it impossible to tell where nature ended and the wedding began. The couple had truly found the perfect balance between refinement and natural charm. It was a wedding for the ages, and Sydney and Klayton’s love shone brighter than the sun that day.

This couple’s stunning wedding occurred at Pig Hill Farm in Webster County Wv. Don’t let the name deceive you, the wedding was nothing short of magical in every way. Taylor Surprised Nate and sang their song as she walked down the aisle; he couldn’t contain his tears. Every decision Taylor made in the planning of her wedding was to show Nate how much she loved him.

Ahh, just the thought of a wedding brings so much joy and happiness. What better way to celebrate this memorable milestone than with an all-out Arkansas party! Literally a good old fashioned Big Party! This is exactly the vision that came true for one couple recently when they got married in front of their family and friends in an extravagant wedding reception filled with love, joy – and of course partying! Read on to find out more about this memorable celebration.

Sarah and Scott originally had a large celebration planned, but like many other brides, COVID changed that. In a cautious manner they decided to move forward with their wedding with just their 12 closest family and friends. Despite the small guest count, the design aspect was large. Their outdoor ceremony took place surrounded by banyan trees under the most stunning Chuppah. Reception was followed with the most divine tent with flowing florals and hints of citrus.

Lindsey grew up in Northern Michigan and met her now husband Richard in Leland where they worked at a local lodge in the summer. When they fell in love and were engaged, they knew that Northern Michigan had to be the location for their wedding.

Sarah & Benjamin wanted guests to feel like they were entering a magical world when they arrived at their wedding and the day was full of awe-inspiring details which made that vision a reality. From getting married at the castle-like Wonderland Cluj Resort, to the horse-drawn carriage fit for royalty, to the show-stopping, jaw-droppingly lush, floor-to-ceiling florals by Elena Bodea – Las Floristas that filled both the ceremony and reception, guests were transported into a fairy tale for the day. Add to that that these two look like they walked out of a magazine themselves, and this may be one of the most dreamy weddings ever! The gallery is full of more incredible photos by Ioana Porav Photography, from the stunning rose petal seals on the stationery by Invogue Art, to Sarah’s romantic Milla Nova wedding gown (a nod to her Hispanic roots), to even more photos of their unbelievable florals, and trust us, you absolutely want to see them all!

Avery and Chris met at law school in Alabama but then moved to Georgetown where they continued to fall in love with not only each other, but with DC as well, so it’s no surprise that when they started planning their wedding, they wanted to share those loves with all their friends and family! It was an amazingly elegant weekend, starting with a gorgeous rehearsal dinner on Friday evening, and then a Saturday reception at Potomac View Terrace (APHA) where guests enjoyed incredible views of the Lincoln Memorial and Capital Building. They went with a classy and chic monochrome palette of ivory and gold for their tablescapes, incorporating both tall and short arrangements of white hydrangea, roses, and flowering branches from Duran Floral Design. These photos from Lisa Blume Photography are the epitome of classic modern elegance!

When Loreal and John chose New Orleans for their destination wedding, they knew they wanted their guests to experience the best of the French Quarter. After a romantic first look in some of the most beautiful streets of the city, the couple exchanged vows and then kicked off the celebration with Kinfolk Brass Band leading a second line to their reception at the elegant Marché. Dinner was a Creole feast complete with beignets and café au lait for dessert. Finally, Kinfolk rounded everyone up one last time and led the party over to Pat O’Brien’s since no NOLA-centric soiree would be complete without a visit to try their Hurricaines! Laissez les bon temps rouler with these beautiful photos from Lance Nicoll!

Fall evokes the dreamiest of color palettes and also some of the most innovative pairings, we think. Brittany and Adam married near the tail-end of the fall season where society’s color palette has started gravitating away from oranges and bright reds into deeper tones. Darker reds and moodier colors like their choice of burgundy and navy blue are spot on for this time of year. We love how Elle and Jaye Events transformed JW Marriott Las Vegas into a romantic, fall wonderland with burgundy, gold, and navy blue woven together. With Susie and Will and all of the vendors strutting their best stuff for Brittany and Adam’s wedding, the result was exceptionally beautiful.

Almost instantly, a wedding in Washington, DC has visions of ultimate grandeur. Jen and Nick wed in the early spring at the Four Seasons and they left no stone unturned when it came to the ins and outs of their wedding design. Jen’s favorite blooms are the ever-stunning and lush magnolias and with that color inspiration as their jumping point, they coveted a white/ivory and green wedding with gold accents. Florist Amy from Amy Lauren Floral Designs expressed and continued the color palette by using sumptuous white peonies and white roses along with the glossy magnolia leaves. This wedding has too many impeccable elements to it, both in design and in personality. We’re just glad that Kristen Gardner captured all the splendor in full!
