Unique camera angles and golden midday lighting make Elise and Christopher’s wedding look as if it’s straight out of a storybook. Even the venue grounds at Greystone Mansion have a bit of an Alice In Wonderland feel with the magical fountain, mirrored couple’s shots, and towering shrubbery. See all the jewel-toned details and the gorgeous photos by Vanessa Preziose Photography below!

When you choose a destination like Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for your wedding, you’ve instantly set yourselves up for a laid-back, festive wedding. Add to that an incredible hotel venue — in this case the gorgeous Capella Pedrega – and you have a recipe for wedding perfection! To set the tone for their destination Mexico wedding, Stacey and Brent sent out beautiful green and orange invites with a motif reminiscent of Mexican tiles. Bright ring bearer pillows and pretty flawy yellow and pink bridesmaid and flower girl dresses were just a few more ways the couple brightened up the party. To add to all the prettiness, Cabo-based wedding photographer Amy Bennett perfectly captured fun and love from the day. Take a look!

Rashana and Matt actually met while both working for an Architecture firm, so it’s only appropriate that design was at the core of this couple’s wedding style. A geometric pattern tied together their invitations and their cake while the private residence at Bel Palazzo didn’t need much to class up this already gorgeous, regal ceremony and reception venue. I love all the white table accents, flower arrangements and modern vases which kept this wedding looking minimalistic and chic! You’ve gotta see the gorgeous photos by Love Ala.

There are so many parts to love about Jessica and Brian’s wedding, but the first that comes to mind is their setting. If you’ve never been to or heard of Lake Tahoe, it’s located on the border between Nevada and California and is an absolutely stunning spot for a wedding (both in terms of weather and scenery). So of course if your family happens to have a lake house there (like Jessica’s do) then you have yourself the perfect spot for a ceremony! Lucky for us, Jessica and Brian hired a great wedding photographer and videographer to capture all of the details. I dare you to hold back those tears when you watch their video by Reel Eyes Media, set to Bon Iver’s Halocene. I’m telling you — I’ve watched dozens of wedding videos, but this has to be one of my favorites. Enjoy!

Cameo and Andrew have family all over the world so for their wedding theme, they decided to host a destination wedding in The Outer Banks at The Whalehead Club and incorporate their love of travel into all the little details. The vintage feel of their venue (which is now a historic museum) influenced their bright and pretty color palette of yellow, orange and gray details. Maps, airplanes, luggage tags and compasses gave the escort cards, programs and guest book a cohesive look and feel. See all the inspiring photos below by Genevieve Stewart Photography!

When Kate and Marcus got engaged, they knew they wanted a wedding in the bride’s hometown. While exploring different options, Kate realized her father’s ranch was the ideal setting for their day. Together, the couple designed their country wedding with glamorous old-Hollywood touches like luxe chandeliers; elegant draping; low, lush floral arrangements; and a rich color palette of ivory, blush, gold and black. The seven-tiered wedding cake covered in a fabric-like fondant draping and luxe quilting had to be the most breathtaking part of the reception (besides the bride, of course!).

Brooke and Jeremy’s downtown Austin, Texas wedding was modern and bright — a far cry from the world of traditional white weddings and pink peonies! From the bride’s succulent bouquet and bird cage veil to the groom’s yellow bow-tie and gray vest combo, we’re loving the couple’s boho style. They added simple greenery to their ceremony to give it color and so as not to take away from the stunning rooftop view of downtown Austin. After the ceremony, guests made their way to the French Legation Musuem  lawn for a laid-back afternoon reception filled with colorful details like patterned linens and potted succulents. The crisp, clean photography from Cory Ryan Photography just perfectly captures the vibe from the day. At the end of the night, Brooke changed into a feathery little after-party dress and added a pair of long white false eyelashes. (Photos below!)

Jennifer had always dreamed of having a fairy tale wedding, and that’s exactly what her and Nicholas had! For the ceremony at Duke University Chapel, Jennifer wore a frothy Vera Wang ballgown with Christian Louboutin heels and carried a bouquet of blush garden roses. She looked like a princess, with a cathedral veil and all! Her soft, romantic style was mirrored in all the reception details — from the crystal candle holders, pink petal linens, cascading peonies and roses and even the four-tier cinched cake with silver brocade. The couple transformed the space at Bay 7 into the most romantic setting for an unforgettable wedding shot by Nancy Ray Photography.

There’s something about this soft photography from Esther Sun that perfectly captures the elements of this gorgeous wedding. Christine and Brian wed at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and celebrated afterwards at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.  One of my favorite details of this wedding is the green ceremony arch filled with white roses.  It’s an amazing backdrop for the ceremony and also hints at the elegance of the reception to follow. The metallic gold and white details which are seen on the invites, programs and menu cards even match the wedding cake. It’s touches like this that make a wedding memorable to your guests and create a seamless look!

This Brooklyn-based couple settled on San Antonio as their wedding destination to incorporate the bride’s Texas roots. Since the groom’s side was from Pittsburgh they planned to create an aesthetic that reflected both their hometowns. The ceremony programs included a star for TX and a keystone for PA and the ceremony blackboard read: “A Pittsburgh boy marries a Texas Senorita.” Too cute. Even a mariachi band played polkas at the reception! Crystal wanted to share this Southwest tradition with Nelson’s family who never experienced it. I just love how this couple combined their unique styles to create a seamless vintage-glam wedding. See all the photos from Anne Marie Photography.
