I could go on and on and on about why I love this wedding. It's not hard to fall hard for the pretty, girly style. The perfect peonies. The draped twinkle lights. But what I love the most is that the bride and groom poured their heart into designing a day that their friends and family would remember forever. That was as romantic as it was thoughtful. This wedding, photographed by the incredible Karen Wise, is the perfect reflection of beauty...

This wedding is about as pretty as a wedding could possibly be. From the stunning bride and groom, to the flowers that are right out of a painting, to the photographs that Karen Wise shot...every detail is perfection. And, what's even more exciting is that the beautiful bride, Catherine, loves Style Me Pretty (she even said love, love, love!) and has agreed to share all of the pretty details with us today!

This is it. My dream wedding.
I know that I promised to feature less picture perfect outdoor weddings (and I swear I will) but this one was just too stunning to pass up. Chandeliers hanging from trees, perfect pink peonies, horses grazing in the background. Oh and a perfect white dress, a dreamy groom and details that will make you swoon.
Karen Wise, who is constantly inspiring me, photographed this wedding and to me...
I am not much for themes when it comes to weddings. I am not much for themes when it comes to anything. BUT, there is the rare exception to the rule in my book of all things great...travel. I've started to see weddings that focus on travel and long distance loves start to pop up and there is just something so romantic about the idea.
We have a gorgeous travel themed affair coming up in a bit, but before we get to it, I wanted to share some fun travel inspired details that I've found...
Karen Wise is a frequent contributor to Style Me Pretty. Something about her pure approach to each wedding, as if she is photographing each wedding with a completely clean slate, just speaks to us. Plus, she always scores the prettiest weddings, so we can't help but love her!!
And thank you so much to Carmelita and Dan for sharing their day with us. Carmelita was sweet enough to share all of her wonderful details and it's clear...
If you are just now joining us, we are featuring the absolutely fabulous wedding of Carmelita and Dan...which took place in New York City at Studio 540. Karen Wise shot the affair and did a beautiful job telling the story of the day.

Baked created a combination of a mini-cake for the cake cutting and cupcakes for our guests. We chose Baked because...
I love the white palette of this wedding. The pops of bright pink are stunning against the simple, clean background. They bring warmth without taking away from the contemporary raw style of the building.
And as the party began, the glow and intimacy added even more style to the gorgeous affair....
I told you that Karen Wise was genius. Wait until you see the...
The bridal party from today's affair is nothing but elegant. Perfect for the stark white backdrop of Studio 450 and for the simple, modern (but incredibly lush) wedding style...
From Carmelita...The dress code was “fabulous.” For the wedding party, the best man wore a black suit and each of the bridesmaids (and groomswoman) picked out her own black dress.

A bit more eye candy from today's ceremony, shot by the unbelievably talented Karen Wise...and while you're devouring these, can we all just take a moment to pay our respects to the GORGEOUS flowers that the girls are carrying!
The florist, Michael Davis of Elan Flowers, created lush, low centerpieces of orchids, callas, peonies, and spray roses. For the bouquets, the...
When I first saw this wedding, it was the ceremony that honestly took my breath away. Something about the simplicity of the style, the perfect silhouette of the bride's gown, the joy that is radiating from everyone. It's just pure beauty.
From Carmelita...
It was important to us to represent our cultures (Jewish and Filipino/Irish) in a non-denominational ceremony. Daniel’s father created our chuppah from green bamboo and my mother sewed the fabric for the canopy.
