Basically, anything Hello! Lucky gets their hands on, I immediately fall in love with. This wedding isn’t any different! From the PERFECT invitations and paper goods to the cute red, white and blue palette…every little detail is heaven!

From the girls at Hello! Lucky…For this affair, we did the Classic Cowboy design in Bluebell and Lucky Red which complemented the wedding’s rustic Americana style. We created a custom band with a repeating Western star pattern in red to hold all the pieces together.

So today is good for so many reasons. The obvious, it’s about to be the Fourth of July! Which means hot dogs, potato salad, backyards and fireworks. Can’t beat that. BUT, it’s also great because we are announcing the winner of the Bluefly Giveaway! It took a while to go through the entries and find a perfect fit, but we are excited to reveal the lucky girl or boy later today.
Ok, back to the cute, cute nautical inspired wedding that we are featuring.

I am really excited about today’s featured affair for two reasons. The first is that it just happens to be the perfect way to kick off Fourth of July weekend! And second, it was sent to us by a wedding planner whose work is forever charming and stylish, Candice Dowling of Jubilee Events.

This just happens to be one of my favorite weekends of the entire year, so I thought I’d be just touch cheesy and feature a couple of absolutely fabulous red, white and blue affairs! The weddings themselves are all about the chic and are sure to inspire you no matter what your color palette happens to be.
Up first, a fabulous nautical inspired wedding that the forever talented Candice Dowling of Jubilee Events sent me…

A HUGE thank you to Marianne Taylor for sending me today’s featured wedding. It’s official, you are one of my new favorite photographers. If you guys haven’t already pored over Marianne’s site, it’s a must! Here are a few more photos from the simple, but stunning reception…
Simple, but sophisticated centerpieces set on classic white linens in an undeniably beautiful space…it really doesn’t get much better than that. Simple, simple elegance. It’s probably my favorite style of wedding.

A few more bits of eye candy from today’s beautiful British affair that the FABULOUS Marianne Taylor photographed (doesn’t it just kill you that even the guests are chic!)…
I mean, seriously! How gorgeous is this. A pretty little garden party with some serious edge. I love when guests can add another dimension to an already stunning party. They can truly bring a wedding to life!
More from the reception on the way!

There is something so dreamy about this wedding. The venue itself is a little piece of heaven, but then you add in a chic style, a gorgeous bridal party and details that make you swoon. It’s the recipe for total perfection.
From Marianne Taylor, the amazing photographer behind the affair…The ceremony of Claire & Hywel’s wedding took place in St Andrew’s Church in Chelsea, London. It was conducted both in English and in Hywel’s native Welsh, and really was one of the most touching ceremonies I’ve had the pleasure to attend. After the ceremony the bride and groom, followed by all the guests, piled into two old Routemaster buses, that drove everyone to the reception at The Garden Museum. I adored this unusual venue, with pretty flowers and colours everywhere!

I got this absolutely darling wedding in my inbox this morning and it just made me smile. The photographer, Marianne Taylor, managed to capture the sweet, sophisticated British wedding to perfection…
Here are some words from Marianne…the couple, Claire & Hywel, were the sweetest people I’ve ever worked with, and everything about their wedding day was full love and pretty things.

We have a few more absolutely gorgeous photographs and details that the fabulous Margaret Singer sent over for today’s featured affair. An affair that seems to just get better and better, doesn’t it?
From Margaret…The wedding ceremony and reception took place at the Hotel Antigua Villa Santa Monica, a boutique hotel with 14 rooms converted from a monastery built in the 1400’s. The couple knew they wanted the wedding events to take place outside and this venue provided multiple settings for the ceremony and reception. The outdoor pool provided the perfect backdrop for a garden ceremony and cocktail hour. The reception was held in the open-air courtyard of the hacienda.
