Newport Wedding by Corbin Gurkin
I am literally DYING over this wedding. It’s so different from most of the weddings that come across my desk…the style is pristine, totally and completely clean, fresh and innovative. The color palette alone, of whites, oranges and grays, will be enough to send most of you clear over the edge but then when you dig a little deeper, you’ll see that it’s the details that really shine.
And the photographer behind the day, the completely loved Corbin Gurkin (seriously loved), took a minimalist approach that allowed each and every element to completely shine. I am head over heels for this one.
From Corbin…
This wedding took place at the Bell Mer in Newport, Rhode Island. The bride, Wendy, had an amazing sense of style and I really loved the unusual palette she used – orange, white, and silvery gray. Having a very specific “look” in mind that only a perfectionist like herself could execute, Wendy designed everything herself and even opted for making some paper flowers as an alternative to fresh cut ones. She even hand cut her own confetti circles to match the décor!
Here are a few details…
The bride wore a stunning Vera Wang gown and perfect, blue Valentino shoes. Wendy actually designed the invitations herself, all centered around a Hawaiian quilt motif, then had Studio on Fire print them. The ring pillow was also designed by the bride using a paper flower that was inspired by a backdrop she spotted at a recent fashion show. All of the flowers were…get this…done by the bride and her friends. Talk about DIY Luxe!
OK. If you thought that this set was as dreamy as I did…you are going to go NUTS when you see the next set of images. They are seriously as perfect as you can possibly get.

What were the favors? I'm fascinated by the packaging.
This is sooo refreshing! I am have considered this palette myself but I have not seen it so well executed before! So perfect! And it is so nice to see a modern, formal wedding.
Do you know where the bride got the jacket? beautiful photos!
Wow. That is so very different, and altogether fresh and lovely. Can't wait to see more!! :)
Loved the use of color. Less can be more impact in the right setting. Using the color palette is in such a subtle is genius!
What an absolutely gorgeous wedding! As Jen said, this is a great example of how less color can pop more and make for stunning photos.
I LOVE this wedding! The singular pop of orange in small places really makes this look so stunning!
Beautiful! Where did the bride find her gorgeous wrap?
This wedding is UNREAL..the details are SO well thought out and come off perfectly. (I love the white on white, bride on couch shot. beautiful!)
This pallet proves there's nothing better than crisp white linens and a pop of fresh citus color. Way to go!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Is the bride a graphic designer? The invites, etc are exactly the style I'm looking for!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY for white colour palette... and little pops of colour. OMG - this is to die for lovely and exactly my style. Wishing I could have another wedding so I could steal all the fantastic ideas here. :)
I really like this one.
the shoes are so cute!!
Hi Everyone,
Thanks so much for all of the nice comments - you guys are the best!
About the invites, I believe Wendy put together the design together with the hep of her sister-in-law who is a graphic designer and then worked with The Studio on Fire http://studioonfire.com/ to do the letterpress. They used Cool Gray 6 and PMS 144U Orange as the ink colors.
Email me if you have other questions!
