Destination Wedding by James Abel

*Update…I just got some additional details from James Abel, the event planner for this gorgeous weddings, that I’ve updated in the comments section!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I must say, I am a little slow going today, after a weekend in Naples, Florida for one of my dear friend’s weddings. I can’t wait to show you pictures of this event because it was, in a word, STUNNING. I am going to wait until the photographer has the proofs online, but I have to tell you that everything…from the gorgeous pink and orange color palette, to the bride’s simple but gorgeous gown, was done to perfection.

Today, though…I wanted to share with you an equally stunning wedding. Designed by one of my good friends, James Abel of James Abel Events and shot by B. Loved Photography (both James Abel and B. Loved are Little Black Book Members…how great is that?), this affair seemed to be the perfect destination wedding…

James Abel, who I should tell you is ALL talent, started working with myself and Abby Jean on the gorgeous yellow and black letterpress invitation that you see in the bottom photo. He sent us his sketch and we worked it into one of our existing designs. The end result was absolutely beautiful and really helped inspire the full wedding style.

This wedding was held in Anguilla and seems to be the perfect combination of understated elegance and beach sophistication. I love the formality of the event, paired with the casual beach surrounding. And the yellow hues…amazing. I am going to see if James can stop by later today and tell us some more fun details!
