An Immersive Lakefront Wedding Rooted in Romance and Place at Villa Pizzo

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]pale pink, neutral color palette.[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

For the design, vibe, and vision, I drew so much inspiration from the beauty of the property. I am drawn to all things romantic, delicate, and feminine, so naturally, I wanted the flow of the wedding day to feel natural and immersive in the details of the grounds. The ceremony was held on the ‘darsena’, a boathouse overlooking the lake, so I wanted the florals to complement the view rather than overpower. We wanted every moment of the wedding weekend to feel exciting for our guests, so between the stunning views of the lake paired with the food and activities, it truly felt like something out of a movie!

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Matt and I took a trip to Dallas, Texas,s to see Post Malone perform for his ‘Austin’ album tour. I had no idea Matt made plans to surprise me by proposing on this trip! The day before the concert, Matt told me we would drive to a town 3 hours away called Murfreesboro,o Arkansas, where we would go explore the Crater of Diamonds state park and literally dig for diamonds! He told me it was the only public diamond mine in the United States! After digging in the dirt and mud for over 2 hours, Matt pulled my actual diamond ring out of his backpack, got down on one knee, and popped the question. Matt’s creative and humorous nature really came through fromthis well-devisedd plan!

Our wonderful catering vendor, AFM Banqueting, helped us curate the most delicious menu for our guests on the wedding day. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony with a crisp glass of prosecco, and enjoyed cocktails and the most delicious spread of prosciutto, cheeses, and bites during our aperitif. As guests were welcomed into the stunning glass marquee,e we started with a baby gem lettucCaesarar salad, sprouts,s and quail in confit. For the first course, we chose mezzi paccheri pasta, lobster marinated with lemon zest and basil,l and for the main course, we gave guests the option to choose a sea bass cooked in marine salt, orange and fennel salad, or seared beef filet with chianti and black pepper, wild herbs, and new potatoes. The flavors AFM put together were creative and so delicious – the best food we have ever had at a wedding!

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

I wanted the wedding decor to blend effortlessly with the beauty of Villa Pizzo’s picturesque property, so we decided to opt for a romantic and neutral color palette. Villa Pizzo’s unique position on the lake allows it to stand out from the other notable villas on Lake Como; the pale pink paint, rose varieties, Orangerie, and olive trees all inspired the decor and florals for our wedding. Matt and I adopted a fewnon-traditionall practices for our wedding, including not having specific wedding colors. We worked closely with Maurizio of Event Couture; he put his heart into designing our florals, including the ethereal hanging flower arrangements, secret garden-inspired centerpiece,s and timeless ceremony pieces.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

A classic Italian millefoglie cake, filled with cream and berries, served as the perfect sweet finale.

Another part of our wedding weekend we loved so much was our boating day to Bellagio we did on Thursday. We reserved the whole fleet of stunning boats from Cadenazzi, and had so many people already in town wanting to participate, so we had to rent a few more boats from other companies to make sure we could accommodate our 100 guests on the boat day.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Lastly, dancing until 2 am with our incredible DJs from Meduza was the best way to end the most amazing day. Mattia and Luca gave us the best set of our lives, and we danced the night away with our guests.

A Parent Trap-Inspired Celebration With New York Flair in Marina del Rey

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Ivory, Sage Green, Black accents

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

When touring The Ritz-Carlton Marina del Rey, the Bride and Groom learned that The Parent Trap was filmed there and immediately fell in love with the venue’s timeless 1990s charm. The film’s sense of nostalgia and the hotel’s blend of glamour and elegance, without feeling too formal, captured exactly what they were looking for. Although they live in New York City, the couple wanted to bring a touch of New York sophistication to their Los Angeles celebration. Their goal was to create a wedding that felt like an unforgettable party filled with many surprises and lots of details.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

The groom proposed in Central Park in New York City. Like all great proposals, it began with a clever ruse for the bride to meet his friends for brunch on the Upper East Side, but instead, he led her on a detour into a remote part of the park where a photographer was waiting by a beautiful waterfall.

The bride wore a stunning all-lace gown with a matching veil by Berta. Originally designed without removable sleeves, the Bride customized the dress to allow more movement for dancing later in the evening. Around 12AM, she changed into a sparkling mini dress paired with matching gloves. The second look was revealed alongside the groom and a surprise entrance by disco-head dancers, signaling the start of the late-night disco party.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]Instead of having traditional bridesmaids, the bride and groom, both the youngest in their families, asked their older siblings to walk them down the aisle. The groom’s sisters wore classic black gowns and carried small bouquets of baby’s breath.

The groom wore a custom double-breasted tuxedo by Alan David, perfectly tailored for a classic and timeless look.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The three-course dinner reflected the cozy, romantic spirit of a fall evening, beginning with pumpkin squash soup and followed by an array of seasonal dishes. As the celebration continued into the night, guests enjoyed late-night bites of sliders, fries, and truffle aioli, along with a dessert table featuring sweets, including the bride’s favorite pastéis de nata.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The ceremony took place in the Ritz-Carlton’s garden, where the aisle and stage were lined with clouds of baby’s breath and soft white florals, creating an ethereal, dreamlike setting. The florist, Renaissance Florals, was given nearly full creative freedom to bring the vision to life. While the bride’s initial inspiration centered around baby’s breath, the design team layered in lush greenery, orchids, peonies, and roses to add texture and depth. The result was a romantic and timeless display that felt both modern and classic. When evening fell, the celebration transitioned into the ballroom, which was completely transformed into a breathtaking floral dreamscape. Giant trees of baby’s breath anchored the space, while towering custom arches of roses and delicate blooms framed the room. Candelabras adorned with cascading white flowers and flickering candlelight filled the space with warmth and glow. Every detail reflected the couple’s vision of intentional beauty — from custom linen napkins and editorial-style programs to personalized chocolate floral favors placed at each setting. Working closely with their families, the Bride and Groom curated each element to ensure the evening felt immersive, thoughtful, and true to their love story.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The wedding cake, crafted by the renowned ButterEnd bakery, featured two of the couple’s favorite flavors — classic carrot cake and walnut-blueberry-lemon. Guests had the option to choose.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

The ceremony took place at the Ritz Garden, where the aisle and stage were lined with clouds of baby’s breath and soft white florals, creating an ethereal, dreamlike setting. Guests were welcomed by the sounds of a live string quartet and an ensemble of vocalists and instrumentalists from Eli’s Band. The musical selection was deeply personal — including a moving rendition of “The Prayer”, a favorite of the bride’s mother, which brought many guests to tears even before the bride walked down the aisle.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Following heartfelt speeches, the bride’s father surprised everyone with an unforgettable performance by the USC Trojan Marching Band, a nod to the bride’s alma mater. The bride — a former USC Song Girl cheerleader— joined the band with fellow alumnae and best friends, pom poms in hand, as the room erupted in applause and chants of “Fight On!”[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

As the ceremony concluded, guests were invited to the cocktail hour overlooking the sparkling water and sailboats of the marina. Three custom bars offered signature cocktails inspired by the couple’s life in New York City — the “Lady Libertini” and “Met in Manhattan” — paired with gourmet tray-passed hors d’oeuvres. A live saxophonist from Eli’s Band set the tone, weaving through the crowd as guests mingled against a golden California sunset.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]

Eli’s live band kept the crowd dancing all night long. Just when guests thought the night had peaked, disco-headed dancers led the bride and groom back into the ballroom for a dazzling late-night re-entrance. The bride changed into her second look — a chic, sparkling mini dress with gloves, and the band started playing disco hits, transforming the space into a glittering “Saturday Night Fever”-inspired disco.

A Dramatic, Candlelit Wedding of Refined Elegance at Medinah Country Club

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Black, blush, ivory, and candlelit gold[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Timeless, romantic, and chic. Steven and Iman wanted their Medinah Country Club celebration to feel intimate yet grand, with dramatic candlelight, lush drapery, and refined architectural details captured throughout. Yanni Design Studio and Cygnet Events and Design brought their vision to life with romantic textures, layered lighting, and abundant ambiance.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Iman, from Toronto, and Steven, from Chicago, first met on Bumble when Steven was living in Toronto for work. Their first date at a wine bar ended with Steven cheekily writing “Do you want to get another drink after this?” on a notepad with checkboxes for yes, no, and maybe, a playful moment that became a defining part of their story. Years later, Steven recreated that memory in his proposal, giving Iman a new note reading, “Do you want to marry me?” with the same checkboxes. On their rooftop, under string lights he had hung himself, Steven proposed with the Chicago skyline behind them.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

A string trio set the tone for the ceremony with a modern twist on classical romance. At the couple’s request, the musicians performed a Bridgerton-inspired playlist featuring pop and dance favorites like “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter and “P.Y.T.” by Michael Jackson. As the wedding party made their entrance, the trio delivered a dramatic rendition of “How Deep Is Your Love” by Calvin Harris and Disciples. Guests couldn’t stop raving about the music, noting how fun it was to hear familiar songs reimagined through strings.

A Vibrant, Personality-Packed Wedding at the Columbus Museum of Art

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]White, green, blue, pink, orange[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Their wedding at the Columbus Museum of Art was a joyful reflection of their personalities: vibrant, layered, and playfully chaotic in the best way. From their view above, cocktail hour to a dance floor powered by love (and grandparents who wouldn’t sit down), Aimee and Maggie’s wedding was bold, beautiful, and unmistakably them.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]Aimee and Maggie’s love story unfolded across continents, office chat threads, and one unforgettable beach birthday party. Though they worked at the same company after college, their paths didn’t truly cross until years later in Seattle, where a blossoming friendship turned into something much more during a cabin weekend in 2022. They fell fast and deeply, bonding over their shared sense of humor and dedication to their pets—Maggie’s dog, Rudy, and Aimee’s cat, Azula (despite Maggie’s cat allergies). After an initial proposal involving a glittery Amazon ring, they officially sealed their engagement over dinner, exchanging real rings that reflected each of their unique styles.[/field]

This Bride’s Vera Wang Gown Would Make Marie Antoinette Jealous

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

I focused heavily on materials and colors: nickel and silver, ivory and brown, deep plum, and green. Years ago, I had screenshotted a Chanel email advertising nail colors in green, purple, and pink. Although the shades were pastel, that combination stayed with me, and I knew when I began planning the wedding that I wanted to reinterpret it in a bold and dramatic way through the florals. Paired with silver accents, it created a strong old‑world New York feel that was both polished and refined.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The design inspiration from the bride was romantic, sexy, loud, and sophisticated, and being a Buyer, it was also about fashion. Even their wedding invitations were modeled after fashion show invites, setting the tone for the evening. Their color palette was comprised of nickel and silver, ivory, black, deep plum, and green. And while the florals and design were everything the bride dreamed of and more, the star of the show was her dramatic Vera Wang gown–and Vera herself gave the bride her blessing to wear it on her big day!

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]

For months, I visited every bridal boutique in Los Angeles and still couldn’t fall in love with anything. As someone who’s worked in fashion my entire life, the dress meant everything to me. Most dresses looked like something I’d already worn, just in white, or had lost their magic after saturating Instagram. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, but I knew with certainty what I didn’t. Vera Wang was my last stop. Deep down, I always knew the dress would be there, but I still wanted to shop like an anti-bride and be sure before my heart landed on Vera. I arrived with pre-selected gowns, but again, nothing clicked. Then I noticed one dress was missing from my selections. When I asked about it, the representative said it was rarely chosen and very different. That only made me want to try it more. The second I put it on, I felt the emotion I’d been chasing all along. It was bold, avant-garde, and had the wow factor I always look for when putting an outfit together. Still, I hesitated. It was unlike any wedding dress I’d seen, and I wasn’t sure if I could push the envelope that far. At my follow-up appointment, I tried on a new round of dresses, but nothing came close. When I stepped into the dress again, my sales rep encouraged me to walk to the front of the boutique, where sunlight shone through floor-to-ceiling windows. People passing by began to stop, applaud, and even blow kisses. Inside, a woman watching nearby began complimenting how the dress looked on me. I assumed she was another shopper until my rep introduced her as Erica Arkin, Senior Vice President of Vera Wang. She and the New York team had just flown in for the awards show and were waiting in the store for their hotel rooms to be ready. Moments later, another stylish woman walked in, saying she had to see what was causing all the commotion outside. My representative introduced her as Priya Shukla, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing for Vera Wang. She immediately began gushing over the dress and how well I wore it. She loved it so much, she said she wanted to take a photo and send it to Vera herself. I was overwhelmed at the idea that Vera Wang might even know I exist, which was surreal. I asked Priya if I could have a screenshot to remember the moment, but she kindly suggested calling Vera instead. So there I was, standing in a Vera Wang gown, beside her right-hand team, patiently waiting as the phone rang to speak to Vera Wang herself. Vera complimented how the dress looked on me and said she was thrilled I was leaning toward it. Being able to express what a visionary and icon she is is a moment I’ll never forget. It was the confirmation I needed that the dress was truly meant for me. Having my mom and sister there to witness it made it all the more unforgettable. After the call, my representative turned to me and said she had never seen anything like it in all her years of bridal appointments. By pure chance, the Vera Wang team’s hotel rooms weren’t ready, and they happened to come into the boutique during my appointment. The timing was completely unplanned but absolutely perfect.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Shadi presented the idea of a round dance floor, which immediately excited me. It gave the room a more intimate energy while also feeling architecturally distinct. Candelabras in nickel, rather than glass, were another must. They carried the warmth and intimacy I envisioned while keeping the look modern and sexy. I also wanted continuity between the menus and our invitations, so they were designed with embossed borders and illustrations of the hotel and paired with plates edged in black trim. [/field]

A Nature-Driven Deer Valley Wedding Rooted in Earthy Texture

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]White, blue, green[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Captivated by the natural beauty of the Deer Valley mountains, Libby and Jack’s wedding day unfolded in earthy elegance. Their mood boards drew on wildflowers, pine trees, patterned tablecloths, and a palette of deep blues and greens.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]After graduating from high school, Libby and Jack went their separate ways, eventually returning to their hometown of Houston after college. The two had first met in sixth grade, and as Jack remembers, he always had a special feeling about Libby. Fate stepped in when they crossed paths at a local restaurant, joking about how it had been ages since they’d last seen each other. Jack asked Libby out the following week, and the two spent hours chatting over sushi, catching up on lost time. “After that date, we both knew each other was the one!” Libby recalls. Four years later, in December, Jack proposed. The couple had planned to spend the holidays in Park City, Utah, with Libby’s family. With a full itinerary of activities, they got dressed for the evening when Jack suggested stopping for a pre-dinner cocktail nearby. Once the two found their seats on the patio, Jack got down on one knee. The entire family was already in town, ready to celebrate, and they capped the night with a fabulous dinner. “It was one of the most special moments!” Libby says.[/field]

A Coastal Desert Wedding at Hotel San Cristóbal in Todos Santos

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Coastal desert tones layered with pops of vibrant color from florals, grounded by natural textures and materials. The palette was inspired by the meeting point of desert and sea in Todos Santos—warm, sun-washed neutrals accented with rich greens, bougainvillea pinks, and candlelit glow.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]We wanted the aesthetic to feel deeply connected to place while remaining elevated and effortless. Each event carried its own mood and attire: colorful cocktail for the welcome party in town, classic black tie for the wedding day, and playful “pool party chic” for the day after. The overall vision was to immerse guests in the rhythm of Todos Santos—raw, coastal desert beauty softened by intentional design, natural textures, and a sense of ease that never felt over-styled.[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]We got engaged in London in 2023 while I was there for work. I thought I was meeting my sister for a casual Friday dinner, with a quick pre-dinner drink beforehand. Behind the scenes, George had conspired with my sister and the hotel staff to orchestrate the proposal—an envelope waiting for me on arrival, a letter in George’s handwriting, and a candlelit path leading to our suite’s terrace.

Reality had its own plan. I was fashionably (very fashionably) late, and by the time I arrived nearly two hours later, the original staff had changed shifts and were convinced I had stood George up. When I finally appeared, the maître d’ handed me his note, George smiled, and together we went upstairs. On the terrace overlooking the London skyline at sunset, he asked me to marry him. The next morning, we flew to the Greek Isles for a spontaneous adventure.[/field]

I wanted something timeless but with an edge—elevated, slightly unexpected, and infused with a sense of ease that felt right for Mexico.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]We encouraged our bridesmaids to choose looks that felt personal while staying within a warm, neutral palette that complemented the setting.

[field title=”Florals & Decor”]A week before the wedding, an earthquake damaged our original dinner venue, forcing a complete redesign of the evening almost overnight. What could have been chaos became one of the most magical moments of the weekend. Our planning and design team created a winding dinner table nestled between queen palms and bougainvillea in full bloom, framed by a perfectly scaled structure with billowing drapery and warm, layered lighting that made the entire space glow. The setting felt organic, romantic, and completely immersive.[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]Instead of a traditional cake moment, we focused on the overall dining experience and shared desserts served family-style, allowing guests to linger at the table and enjoy the evening without interruption.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]One of our favorite elements was a jewelry-making activation for guests, using beads inspired by the colors and textures of Mexico and charms that captured the spirit of the region. By the end of the weekend, nearly everyone was wearing their handmade piece—woven into photos, dinners, and dancing—a tangible reminder of the celebration.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]The welcome party took place in a restored brick building in town with ivy climbing the walls and a few friendly dogs wandering through as guests toasted us. It set the tone for the weekend: relaxed, communal, and full of character.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]After dinner, we surprised everyone by moving the dance floor into the hotel’s chapel—an intimate, unexpected setting that immediately shifted the mood. Later in the evening, a playful twist emerged when wigs of every color and style appeared. What started with a few brave guests quickly turned into a joyful, uninhibited dance floor moment that broke down every barrier and became one of the night’s most unforgettable highlights.[/field]

A Joyful Hvar Wedding Blending Global Roots and Adriatic Glamour

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Soft pink, Cream White

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

My husband was raised in Hong Kong and Canada, so despite us living in New York, we knew we would have guests traveling in from all over and opted for a destination wedding as a result. We settled on Hvar after visiting Croatia a few years prior and having an incredible time. The beaches, great food,d and vibrant nightlife made for such a fun and memorable wedding. Wee,ek, and the Promessi team made the process of planning a wedding abroad so seamless.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Ammar proposed on a trip to St. Lucia at Cap Maison. We were on vacation with my brother and his fiancée (now wife), and Ammar proposed one night at sunset on the beach.

Ammar wore a custom suit by Zegna, and his groomsmen wore matching suits in a lighter grey tone.

For cocktail hour, we served assorted cheeses and meats local to Hvar, along with a selection of canapés. Choice of Entree: pan-seared sea bass, chicken breast, or saffron risotto. Our signature cocktails were espresso martinis and margaritas, and we served all Croatian wines throughout the weekend.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]Maja and her team at Showroom Design completely exceeded our expectations for the florals and design. They created light pink floral arrangements of roses and hydrangeas to adorn our ceremony and reception spaces. I loved seeing how the bouquets, ceremony area, and reception tablescape turned out – it was romantic and elegant while simultaneously allowing the beautiful views and backdrop of the venue shine. [/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]

The cake was a classic three-tiered white wedding cake prepared by a local bakery called Pastry Shop Sweets. We chose an almond flour vanilla cake with a mixed berry filling.

[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

The ceremony took place along the water, which was the main reason why we chose Beach Club Hvar as our venue. A close family friend officiated, and each of our mothers prepared readings for the ceremony. A violin and cello duo performed as guests arrived and during the wedding procession. I walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love.’

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

We wanted our reception design to mirror the linear layout of the Beach Club and to seat all our guests at a single, long table. The planners and design team did such an amazing job accommodating 145 guests at one table, and it was wonderful to see all our friends and family seated together throughout the evening while we listened to speeches and celebrated.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

We had our first look on the terrace at Palace Elisabeth, with our parents, siblings, and bridal party looking on from the balcony overhead.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]

The night before the wedding, we had a white party on the hotel terrace at Amfora. For decor, we incorporated fresh citrus fruits for the centerpieces, arranged with vibrant orange florals as a departure from the softer pink palette of the actual wedding day. We had a gelato cart, spritz stand, watercolor portraitist, and live music to enjoy on Friday night in Hvar.

Mary Jordan and Wilkes’ wedding was a vision of timeless elegance, like stepping into a romantic garden party brought to life. With 275 guests and love woven into every detail, the celebration was as joyful as the couple themselves.

Mary Jordan and Wilkes were set up by mutual friends and approached their blind date with plenty of skepticism. But lucky for both of them, that first meeting quickly proved their friends right. A sweet and easy connection grew into something undeniable, culminating in a surprise proposal at High Hampton.

We went to The Rosewood Miramar for Mark’s birthday weekend. On Friday night, we visited San Ysidro Ranch (our wedding venue) for dinner. Andi had a few suspicions… but since it did not happen that night, she quickly stopped thinking about it. The next day was Mark’s birthday. What Andi thought was a lunch reservation turned into a proposal on the beach with a picnic to enjoy. Mark managed to pull off the biggest surprise!

Our friend, whom we met while traveling abroad on Semester at Sea, officiated our wedding.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

After five years together, Noah was ready to take the next step in life with Amber. He carefully selected a ring- an oval diamond with a simple gold band and hidden halo- and began planning a trip in which he would pop the big question. Travelling was one of the ways they bonded, so naturally, he was going to ask on a trip they spent together. Prague was one of his bucket list destinations to explore, with its magnificent architecture and rich culture. What better way to make it memorable than to ask his girlfriend to be his wife there? On an icy December morning in front of Charles Bridge, Noah got down on one knee but got so nervous he couldn’t utter a word. But Amber knew what he meant- and she said yes.

The wedding gown is Dany Tabet’s ‘DONDI’ from his Empress collection, with a modified bodice of removed straps, and includes a corset for support. With a sharp plunge neck line and mermaid silhouette, the dress emphasizes the shape of the bride. Fit for a garden party theme, the gown presents magnificent 3D flowers in an asymmetric pattern cascading down the fabric, embracing the imperfection of nature. The dress features pearls and sequins scattered across the dress, capturing light at times.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

The bridal party selected various styles of light blue floor-length dresses and clothing to complement the whimsy and lightheartedness of the wedding.

Notable brands include Reformation, Birdy Grey, and Peppermayo.

[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

The groomsmen featured deep blue suits with champagne ties to match the theme of a light-hearted wedding. Groomsmen also wore dark brown dress shoes to complement the suits. The suits were made and tailored from a local suit shop back home in California.

From Garden Serenity to Grand Celebration: A Refined Dutch Wedding at Huis ter Duin

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]Green, soft pink, and white[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Vivian & Long’s wedding took place at two beautiful locations: Parc Broekhuizen, one of the most luxurious estates in the Netherlands, and the grand hotel Huis ter Duin for the grand banquet reception. Love and nature intertwined to create a sophisticated and elegant setting for the ceremony in Parc Broekhuizen. The panoramic view of the serene lake became the focal point of their vows, surrounded by a palette of green, soft pink, and white that blended seamlessly with the abundance of green hydrangeas of the property. As the evening unfolded, they transitioned to Hotel Huis ter Duin, welcoming extended loved ones for a lively banquet and fantastic party filled with heartfelt moments and unforgettable revelry—proof that intimacy and exuberance can share the spotlight flawlessly.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

We got engaged on September 7th, 2023, in Bali. It was the second day of our trip, and Long had secretly arranged for a private driver to take us to Lahangan Sweet. He woke me up at 2:00 AM, and at first, I was completely confused — but it didn’t take long for me to realize that this might finally be the day. (I had been dropping some not-so-subtle hints that I was ready for us to take the next step) We arrived at Lahangan Sweet just before sunrise. The place was empty — just the two of us, with the breathtaking view all to ourselves. As the first light broke over the horizon, we watched the sun rise together. Then, at that perfect moment, he dropped to one knee and asked the big question. That evening, he had made a reservation at a luxury resort. Our table was set by the river, beautifully decorated with flowers. It couldn’t have been more perfect. Fun fact: Before our trip, my girlfriends made a poll in our group chat to guess whether Long would propose during the holiday. Not a single one of us — myself included — voted “yes.” I didn’t expect him to propose on that trip, because I didn’t know he had purchased an engagement ring.

I visited six bridal stores and probably tried on over 50 dresses, but the one I chose was actually one of the first few I tried. I fell in love with the subtle pleating on the bodice and the dramatic train. At first, I wasn’t sure about the fabric — I thought I wanted something heavier and more structured, like mikado. But I soon realized that the soft, flowy material suited my vision better. Since it was a midsummer wedding, the lighter fabric gave the dress a more effortless, airy look — exactly what I didn’t know I needed.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]For the bridesmaid dresses, I chose soft, sage green. I had been torn between that and a gentle pink, but in the end, green felt like the better choice because it blended more seamlessly with the overall color scheme of our wedding.[/field]

In a Chinese wedding, food is one of the most important elements—and with many of our family and friends coming from a restaurant background, the bar was set quite high. For lunch, we chose a three-course meal prepared by the Michelin-starred restaurant Voltaire, featuring a French-style menu. For dinner, we served an eight-course meal that combined Chinese and French cuisine. We felt this fusion was the perfect way to blend tradition with modernity. It was a meaningful and delicious way to reflect both our roots and our shared tastes.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Katya Hutter, floral designer: “The floral design for Vivian and Long’s wedding at one of the finest estates in the Netherlands, Parc Broekhuizen, was inspired by the estate’s idyllic surroundings, the tranquil lake behind the main building, and the abundance of soft green hydrangeas gracing the gardens. Our vision was to create floral art that blended seamlessly with the natural landscape while making an artistic statement in tune with modern fashion aesthetics. We incorporated similar soft green hydrangeas and quicksand roses among a dozen other premium blooms. Cascading strands of green amaranthus were added as playful accents, resembling delicate earrings adorning the arch. The blend of fashion, floral art, and natural harmony makes this design so special to me.”

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

A year before the proposal, I stumbled upon our photographer Chymo’s Instagram—and I was instantly sold. I knew right away: she had to be the one to capture our big day. I never looked further for photographers. After the proposal, I contacted Chymo to shoot our pre-wedding pictures in Lake Como. There, my feelings were only confirmed. Our pre-wedding photos turned out even more beautiful than I had ever imagined. But most importantly, working with Chymo was incredibly easy. She knows exactly what she’s doing, and her warm, friendly nature made us instantly click. Of course, we also worked with Chymo for our actual wedding day. What drew me to her art was the way she tells a story through her lens. Her work evokes such a warm, joyful, and heartfelt feeling. I love how she captures not only the emotions but also all the little details that make each moment special. When we received our wedding photos for the first time, we both shed a few tears—they were just that beautiful.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]Vivian’s favorite detail of the day: the first look with my dad. We’ve always been very close, and sharing that moment with him was incredibly special. When he saw me in my dress and started to tear up, it completely overwhelmed me — especially because I had never seen him cry before. It was such a raw, emotional moment that I’ll always carry close to my heart.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]

Long’s favorite detail of the day: our siblings’ speeches during lunch. Each of the speeches was so heartfelt and endearing. They made Vivian and me laugh, feel so appreciated, and even shed a few (happy) tears here and there. For me, what made it especially touching is the fact that we usually do not – actually never – really express our feelings to one another, making this moment even more meaningful.

A Lively New Orleans Wedding Filled with Music and Candlelit Charm at The Columns

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Spring greens and white

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The Columns was the heartbeat of the wedding’s vision, a venue overflowing with character and the unmistakable charm of New Orleans. Skylar and Eli wanted their guests to truly experience the city they had fallen in love with, and every decision reflected that. From the courtyard’s lush greenery to the glow of candlelight, the evening was designed to feel both elegant and full of life. The dance floor became the center of it all as Skylar, Eli, and their guests danced late into the night. The NOLA Dukes Band brought incredible energy, filling every corner of The Columns with music and joy — the perfect finale to a day overflowing with love, laughter, and New Orleans magic.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Eli proposed at Skylar’s favorite place, Lambert’s Cove on Martha’s Vineyard, the same island where their story began. The two met while volunteering for FOCUS, a Christian summer camp. During a return trip as volunteers, Eli suggested an early morning beach walk. With the sand still cool and the world quiet, he proposed with the ocean as their only witness. They spent their first day engaged, surrounded by fifty teenagers at camp, which felt perfectly fitting for the couple who met through service and community.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Skylar fell in love with Kyha’s Kasia Corset and Arta Skirt the moment she saw them. Every other gown she tried on was compared to this look because nothing else captured the same balance of structure and softness. The two-piece design felt elegant yet modern, allowing her to move, dance, and truly shine. The sleek silhouette paired perfectly with a touch of “something blue,” a pair of Jimmy Choos, for a timeless but personal statement.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

With friends from all walks of life, Skylar wanted her bridesmaids to feel comfortable and confident in what they wore. Each chose a silk dress in a shade of spring green, ranging from soft sage to deep moss, allowing their individual personalities to come through while still feeling cohesive. The natural palette beautifully echoed the lush greenery of The Columns’ courtyard.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

In true New Orleans fashion, the couple embraced the tradition of heavy appetizers and food stations, letting guests nibble between dancing and cocktails. The Columns’ catering shone, with dishes that guests are still talking about. Two signature cocktails added a personal twist: (She’s) The Bee’s Knees and (He wishes he had) The Last Word. Both gin-based, they reflected the couple’s shared love of the spirit and their playful sense of humor.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Skylar’s mother carried calla lilies at her own wedding, and incorporating them was a meaningful nod to her. The florals leaned into the lush greenery of The Columns’ courtyard, with spring greens, ivory, and soft local blooms accented by glowing candlelight as the evening transitioned to night. The design was simple yet romantic, letting the venue’s beauty take center stage.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]In the grand ballroom of The Columns, Skylar and Eli chose a simple, modern cake that complemented the space’s historic beauty. Bittersweet created a three-tiered design that was both elegant and delicious, displayed on a grand piano. Eli was especially adamant that the cake feature a classic bride and groom topper, a playful detail that gave the sleek design a personal touch and ensured it received the attention it deserved.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

The ceremony opened with songs from FOCUS, the summer camp where the couple met, setting a deeply personal tone. Eli’s father officiated, making the moment even more meaningful. Before the ceremony, Skylar and Eli chose to exchange private vows on the upper porch of The Columns. It was an intimate, quiet moment just for them — a chance to center themselves in the joy of the day before stepping into the celebration. These deeply personal vows were then shared and allowed during the ceremony, allowing guests to listen to the couple’s devotion to one another as well as their promises for the future.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

One of the most unforgettable moments of the day was the Second Line, a beloved New Orleans tradition. Directly following the ceremony, a brass band led Skylar and Eli and all their guests from The Columns down St. Charles Avenue, parading from the ceremony straight into the reception. Dancing down the streets and celebrating surrounded by music, laughter, and the people they love most perfectly captured the spirit of New Orleans and the joy of the day. Congratulations and cheers from the locals passing by were also a special touch.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Another special detail close to their hearts was the artwork created by Eli’s mother and her lifelong friend for the invitation. Together, they hand-drew The Columns and The Pagoda House, the venues for the wedding and the night-before celebration. Their illustrations beautifully captured the essence of both places, serving as a meaningful keepsake and a reflection of the deep family connection woven throughout the weekend.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]It would be remiss not to mention the incredible creativity and dedication of the bride’s sister, Madison. From designing the invitations, custom matchboxes, ceremony programs, and signage, to ensuring every bubble machine was in its perfect place, the maid of honor went above and beyond. Madison’s attention to detail and unwavering support brought Skylar’s vision to life in the most personal way. She truly was one of a kind, standing beside the bride every step of the way.[/field]

The vibe: A summer wedding on the Texas coast that embodied elegant garden sensibilities but with a coastal twist. With a maximalist approach to design and details, there was no fear of color or pattern when it came to the elements that made up the visual experience of this day. Lush florals were a non-negotiable, given the garden inspiration, and custom details tied in personal elements from the couple, as well as provided subtle nods to other aspects of the wedding weekend experience. The result was as fun-loving and stylish as this couple, but also created a meaningful experience for them and their guests.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

From the bride: “Peyton had arranged for both of our families to go down to the beach for the weekend of Memorial Day. We spent all of Saturday at the pool with my nieces and nephews and then had dinner that night. After dinner, he asked me if I would go with him down the boardwalk to the beach to take sunset pictures on his film camera. Which I thought nothing of because that was a normal thing. When we were about halfway down the boardwalk, one golf cart drives by, and then a second golf cart drives by (of course Peyton didn’t know that the only way that the golf carts could get down to the beach was by the boardwalk) so he looks at me and says, “Well, This looks like the perfect place to do it!” He got down on one knee and said,” Will you Marry Me?” I’m crying and trying to get out a yes! Our friend, who’s a photographer, drove down from San Antonio and took our pictures. It was absolutely perfect! Then, Peyton’s sweet family arranged for a party afterwards, complete with champagne, cookies, es, and cake! We celebrated all night long!

From the bride: “Like most girls, I dreamt of my wedding from a very early age. I always knew that I wanted something different when it came to my dress, and that it would be a color like a solid pink or even floral. What really drew me to the Monique Lhuiller gown was Sophia Bush’s dress from her wedding in 2022. She had a custom print Monique gown, and before that,t I had never seen anything like it! I don’t think I had even met my husband yet, but I just knew that whenever I got married, I would be getting married in that dress. AllofMonique’s designs are so effortlessly elegant and in the most fun ways, with dramatic trains, puff sleeves, and bold colors and patterns. I really am obsessed with her designs as a whole.”

[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

From the bride: “For my bridesmaids’ dresses, I really wanted them to feel beautiful and confident in their own skin. So I let them choose their own dress. I personally love the mismatch look. I think it really highlights each girl’s personality. I trusted the girls completely to pick a gorgeous dress. The right shade of blue made it a little tricky, but they were very patient with me on that.”

[field title=”Food & Drink”]

Given the emphasis on elevated experiences, the food and beverage selections were interactive, coastal, and sure to surprise and delight for Kenedy & Peyton’s guests! Guests started cocktail hour by enjoying passed signature beverages (Gold Rush and French 75 for Peyton and Kenedy, respectively, and a Paloma & Prickly Pear Margarita named for each of their pups!) passed appetizers, and the star of the show — the raw bar featuring several delicacies from the coast! Once guests made their way into the ballroom for dinner, they enjoyed a plated Grand Galvez salad, which is gorgeous in appearance and delicious with its Blood Orange Vinaigrette. Following the salad course, guests were served a dual-plated entree featuring a Petit Filet Mignon and a Gulf Crab Cake alongside mashed potatoes, broccolini, and baked bread accoutrements. Guests enjoyed an open bar all night, as well as chilled champagne from the oversized champagne bucket ice sculpture. Towards the end of the night, espresso martinis were flowing, and honey butter chicken biscuits were passed.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

One can’t have a coastal garden-inspired wedding and not have lush, colorful, stunning florals adorning every surface of the event! In the ceremony space, we kept the scenery relatively natural and featured bentwood chairs with scalloped umbrellas (the trim tying into the awnings on the hotel!) The florals are what took the design to the next level, between the lush asymmetrical altar of meadow arrangements (both grounded and on pedestals), the floral aisle runner, and the antique urns at the back of the aisle, which made the perfect bookend to the beauty of the space. Inside at cocktail hour, we transformed two parlor rooms in the hotel; one to hold a custom bar alongside the raw bar, and the other to feature a mix of striped and floral tables, some with seating, some as highboys. Florals were sprinkled into this space as well, along with some table lamps and custom signage. And we can’t forget about the urn arrangements that greeted guests as they made their way down the hallway to these rooms. The,n when moving into the Music Hall ballroom, guests first found their seats at the gallery wall-inspired seating chart, which had custom vinyl wallpaper that was the same pattern used throughout the invitation suite. Guests then walked into the ballroom that was transformed into a coastal garden, but also maintained the existing beauty of the hotel. The head table and the stage for the DJ were our primary focal points, but as your eye continued to wander, it was met with lace Mottahedeh chargers, custom menus, butterfly die-cut place cards, custom blue bentwood chairs, and a sea of florals and patterned linens! It was a feast for the eyes, and a perfect representation of an elevated, coastal, garden soirée that felt as intentional as it was approachable.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]To tie in (literally!) with the feminine details throughout many aspects of the event design, a bow was featured on the bridal cake, which was front and center in the dessert display. The Groom has a major sweet tooth, so rather than doing a large cake, this couple opted to serve all kinds of petite desserts, which were featured on silver trays sourced from the bride’s family collection. These desserts were as delicious as they were pretty, and were wiped clean by the end of the night.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”][/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

From the bride: “One memory that stands out to me about our wedding day has to be Peyton and me’s first look. This was very special to me because Peyton is my person. Just being in his presence keeps me calm. I was so nervous about the whole day until the point that I saw his face. His smile made me so happy! He also cried when he saw me,e which I didn’t think would happen, so that was pretty cute! We had the best time taking pictures and being in each other‘s presence before the ceremony.”

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

From the planner: “While all of the design elements were essential in creating the aesthetic experience of this event, the linen selections were especially important to translating this bride’s vision and to transforming the reception space! Color and pattern were on full display, but the key was in mixing patterns and in choosing linens that had enough depth to them. When working in a ballroom like the Music Hall at the Grand Galvez, which is stunning with it’s gold moldings, large chandeliers, and powder blue walls, but has elements, like the carpeting, that are high-contrast and potentially “busy: to the eye — you can’t be afraid to bring in color, and in deeper tones, to “cancel out” unwanted design choices and direct the eye elsewhere. That’s exactly what we did with the striped green linens from Stradley Davidson and the colorful floral linens from Nuage Designs. These choices didn’t look washed out whatsoever, so instead of your eye going down to the busy carpeting, it was drawn up to all of the beautiful tabletop decor. Linens have the power to transform a space, and to bridge the gap between the existing design style of a venue, and the design style you wish to create with your event.”

A Poetic, Stone-Hued Wedding of Quiet Luxury at Petra Theater

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

The color palette was inspired by the raw beauty of Petra Theater itself — soft neutrals, natural stone, warm ivory, and touches of metallic gold. These hues reflected the surrounding landscape and created a calm, harmonious atmosphere that blended seamlessly with the ancient quarry’s textures. Guests were invited to dress in muted tones, allowing the natural beauty of the setting, the light, and the emotion of the day to take center stage.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

The wedding was envisioned as a poetic gathering — an ode to heritage, artistry, and quiet luxury. Ivi and Neo wanted the experience to feel intentional and soulful rather than overly decorated or conventional. The design was guided by restraint and emotion, focusing on light, structure, and symbolism rather than excess. A custom circular lighting installation illuminated the stone amphitheater, echoing the shape of the ancient stage and symbolizing unity, eternity, and shared light. The result was a celebration that felt cinematic and deeply personal, where every detail reflected meaning and artistry.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

The proposal unfolded on a scenic drive through Malibu — the same route the couple had taken on their first date ten years earlier. It was Ivi’s birthday, and Neo had planned the day with his signature thoughtfulness. Without grand gestures, he asked her to marry him in the quiet rhythm of the California coastline, creating a full-circle moment that tied their story back to its beginnings. What made it even more special was learning later that he had called her father in Cyprus to ask for his blessing — a gesture that carried both humor and heart, and one that perfectly reflected the warmth and spirit of their families.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]Ivi wore a custom Vivienne Westwood gown from the Los Angeles atelier — sculptural, expressive, and grounded in craftsmanship. The silhouette embodied Westwood’s signature balance of structure and emotion, with custom sleeves that made the gown uniquely hers. She paired it with an ethereal tulle headpiece by artist Raven Kauffman, a close friend known for her work with Tom Ford, and completed the look with jewelry she designed herself for her brand, IVI LOS ANGELES. Each piece carried symbolic weight — from the hand-carved Pentelic marble necklace to the solid silver hair comb — connecting her artistry with her heritage.[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”][/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

Neo’s look was timeless and quietly confident. He wore an ivory double-breasted Corneliani suit tailored from luxurious Loro Piana fabric — a design that reflected understated elegance and effortless sophistication. His accessories were equally intentional: silver cufflinks custom-made by Ivi for IVI LOS ANGELES and classic leather tassel loafers by Santoni. His style perfectly mirrored the balance of refinement and ease that defined the entire day.

[/field]
[/section]
[board_carousel title=”Ceremony”]

[/board_carousel]
[section title=”The Details”]
[field title=”Food & Drink”]The culinary experience was envisioned as an ode to Greek tradition — refined, soulful, and rooted in authenticity. Every dish was crafted with local, seasonal ingredients, curated by the talented team at Dipnosofistirion, one of Greece’s most renowned culinary houses. The couple wanted their guests to feel the warmth and generosity of Greek hospitality, so dinner was served family-style, inviting everyone to share, connect, and celebrate around the table. The flavors paid homage to their heritage while embracing a modern sensibility — elegant, unpretentious, and full of heart. Each course felt like a love letter to Greece itself: vibrant, honest, and unforgettable.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The creative direction and production were led by the talented team at Fresh Events. Rather than traditional floral arrangements, Ivi and Neo chose to highlight the natural textures of Petra Theater. The raw stone, open sky, and architectural lines became the main decorative elements. Lighting designers Andreas Kourtis and George Tellos created a circular illuminated installation that transformed the venue into something ethereal and spiritual. Minimal candlelit tables and sculptural seating layouts emphasized intimacy and flow, allowing light and space to take on poetic significance.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]In keeping with their philosophy of modern simplicity, the wedding cake followed a minimal yet refined aesthetic — designed as an edible extension of the day’s tones and textures. Fresh Events and the culinary team curated a dessert that felt classic yet contemporary, allowing taste and craftsmanship to shine through without distraction.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

One of the most emotional moments of the ceremony was Ivi’s walk down the aisle to Sophia Loren’s “Ti Einai Afto Pou To Lene Agapi” — a sentimental nod to her Greek roots. The ceremony felt cinematic, guided by music that was deeply personal to the couple. As the night unfolded, DJ Bynx from Los Angeles curated a soundscape that evolved from soulful to joyful, transforming the amphitheater into a glowing dance floor beneath the stars. Every note felt intentional — not about performance, but about emotion, rhythm, and connection.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

The Circular Light Installation. At the heart of the Petra Theater, a luminous circular light structure symbolized wholeness, eternity, and artistic legacy. Designed by Andreas Kourtis and George Tellos, it became one of the defining visuals of the evening — a bridge between the ancient and the modern.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

The Custom Dining Table. A single round dining table stood at the center of the theater — minimal, candlelit, and surrounded by the people closest to the couple. It was a powerful design choice that brought intimacy and focus to a vast, monumental space.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #3″]

The Marble Keepsakes. Each guest received a pendant designed by Ivi for IVI LOS ANGELES — a rhodium-plated silver vial adorned with Pentelic marble from Athens. Inside was a handwritten note, a poetic reminder of love, legacy, and memory — a keepsake meant to be carried long after the celebration ended.

A French Baroque-Inspired Wedding Inspired by the Grandeur of Versailles

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

The wedding colors are gold, blush pink, ivory, and creamy neutrals

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Caitlyn and Quinn’s vision was to embody the grandeur, opulence, and splendor of the French Baroque era, drawing inspiration from the famous Palace of Versailles. They chose the colors of gold, blush pink, and ivory to create a romantic, soft atmosphere.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Caitlyn had always dreamed of being proposed to in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower, and Quinn knew that from the very beginning. Secretly, he worked with her friends to plan everything, from choosing the photographer and videographer to designing the ring. The day of the proposal turned out to be unforgettable for an unexpected reason: it coincided with the day of the Paris Marathon. Roads were shut down all across the city, and they almost didn’t make it to the original proposal location. Quinn remained calm, and they managed to make their way to a nearby spot that, by pure luck, was empty. In the end, it became the most intimate moment they could have imagined. The Eiffel Tower stood unobstructed behind them; there were no crowds at all, and it felt as if the entire city had paused just for them. It was truly magical.

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]

Caitlyn had always loved Galia Lahav, and when she first saw the dress online, she had a feeling it might be the one. Although she shopped around and tried on various gowns, once she tried on the Galia Lahav at Stanley Korshak, she knew it was meant for her. Wanting a dramatic veil to complement her beautiful gown, Caitlyn worked with Galia Lahav to create a custom cathedral-length veil. The gown, designed with long sleeves, was given a makeover for the reception as Caitlyn hired a stylist from Maisie-Kate to help with a quick design change. “For the ceremony, the gown featured romantic, long sleeves, but I realized that they limited how much I could move. For the reception, we removed the sleeves to give the dress a strapless silhouette, which made our first dance so much easier and felt like a fun, glamorous transformation. And later in the night, I changed into my reception dress from Oscar de la Renta, so it felt like I truly had three looks in one day!” Caitlyn shared.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]For her bridesmaids, Caitlyn envisioned soft-pink, silky dresses that conveyed elegance and comfort. It was important to her that everyone felt beautiful in their own silhouette, so she allowed each bridesmaid to choose her own style. They decided to get their dresses from Revelry, recommended by Caitlyn’s stylist at Oscar de la Renta, because it offered the perfect shade of rose along with many flattering silhouette options.[/field]
[field title=”Groomsman Attire”]

Since their wedding design was inspired by Versailles, Quinn wanted a look that was timeless yet elevated. While the groomsmen donned classic black tuxedos, they aimed for Quinn’s appearance to stand out. Drawing inspiration from Ryan Reynolds’ Met Gala outfit, which featured a white vest, they created a look that felt formal, regal, and unique without being overly flashy. Sal at Stanley Korshak in Dallas coordinated the creation of the custom vest and helped Quinn select every detail of the tuxedo. They were extremely grateful to him for bringing Quinn’s vision to life. For the groomsmen, Caitlyn and Quinn opted for a classic and cohesive look with black tuxedos from The Blk Tux. This choice created a timeless, refined appearance that paired beautifully with the overall wedding aesthetic.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]Caitlyn and Quinn curated a dinner menu featuring some of their favorite French-inspired dishes, along with meals they enjoyed cooking together. Guests began with a port-poached pear salad. For the entrée, those who chose beef were served filet mignon accompanied by potato au gratin and garlic broccolini. Guests opting for fish enjoyed miso-marinated sea bass paired with bok choy and fingerling potatoes.

Throughout the evening, the bride and groom each had their own signature drinks. Caitlyn’s was a Kir Royale, while Quinn’s was a classic Gin and Tonic.
[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The flower varieties included garden roses, spray roses, orchids, snapdragons, baby’s breath, ranunculus, delphinium, stock, and peonies. While an outdoor garden wasn’t a possibility at the venue, the couple decided to bring the outdoors inside with lush floral arches, custom-built boxwood walls, stone busts, and floral terraces, transporting guests to the Versailles Gardens. For the reception, guests were ushered into the Georgian Ballroom, whose baroque architecture mimicked the opulence of the Palace of Versailles ballrooms. The mirror-topped head table featured a custom place setting of Vietri, Royal Crown Derby, and Herend china. Gold flatware and crystal stemware completed the tabletop. Tall, grand arrangements and crystal candelabras provided height and dimension throughout the Ballroom, complementing the Crystal Napoleon Chairs and neutral linens.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]A five-tiered cake of strawberries and cream, raspberry white chocolate, and almond white cake was displayed atop a garden of roses. It featured vintage-styled piping that mimicked the architecture of the historic Biltmore Ballrooms.[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

The ceremony music was provided by a custom ensemble that included a string quartet, a male and female vocalist, a trumpet, and a piano. The vocalists performed a special version of “The Prayer” during the couple’s unity ceremony. A 12-piece band welcomed guests into the reception and kept them on the dance floor until a DJ took over for an EDM set to conclude the evening.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]Caitlyn envisioned a unique and interactive escort display for her wedding. Throughout the planning process, she was particularly excited about the petite cakes. Inspired by the Palace of Versailles, guests discovered their seating assignments nestled within a Venetian-style bookshelf. Inside, each guest found a personalized cake designed with the same vintage piping as that of the bride and groom, with their seating assignment elegantly placed on top.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

The couple’s invitation suite was elegant and ornate, perfectly setting the tone for the event. The envelope featured a lining adorned with a watercolor illustration of the wedding venue, offering guests a sneak peek of what was to come. The invitation itself showcased gold foil, die-cut scalloped edges, gold engraved script, a custom crest, a silk pink bow, and wax seals bearing their monogram. They also included a detailed card with gold foil die-cut edges and a floral design. The suite was filled with personalized touches that hinted at the Versailles inspiration behind the wedding.

The Ultimate Honeymoon Packing List

Let’s be clear about something: packing for any trip is hard. But packing for your honeymoon? That can feel nearly impossible. How do you strike just the right balance between cute, comfy, and practical—not to mention pieces that won’t make you think “What am I wearing!?!” when you look back on your photos decades from now? That said, when you break your packing list down into a few different categories, things get MUCH easier. After all, no matter where you and your newly-minted spouse are off to, you’re going to want to bring along a romantic dress or two, sight-seeing sneakers, and a seriously cute pair of pajamas (now is not the time to bring along your high school gym shirt!). Read on to discover the 10 pieces that every bride should have in her honeymoon getaway bag, and shop a few of our favorites of the moment.

1. Date-Ready Dress

You don’t need to bring along your fanciest frock, but you should have at least one romantic dress (or skirt, or figure-hugging pair of pants) packed along with you to slip on in the evenings for candlelit dinners out. Bonus points if the style is something you can also rock during the day!

Photography | Esther Sun Photography

2. Sweet Swimsuit

Even if you aren’t jetting off to somewhere tropical for your honeymoon, a cute suit or two should always be stashed in your suitcase.

Pro tip: A cute one-piece will look great on the beach on it’s own, layered under cover-ups at the bar or even making the steam-room circuit at the spa. It’s a total honeymoon-must!

3. Cross-body bag

A bag is the last thing you want to be worrying about while you and your new hubby or wife are out exploring, so go for a hands-free style like this cross-body from & Other Stories. And because this style is black and features minimal detailing, it will style seamlessly across any occasion on your itinerary.

& Other Stories Leather Fold Over Crossbody Bag

4. Day-to-night pieces

Though you’ll definitely want to pack a few special pieces for romantic evenings out, the majority of what you bring along should transition from day to night without a second thought. Go for flippy dresses or relaxed trousers that can be dressed up with a pair of heels and some red lipstick, and down with those trusty, wear-everywhere sneakers.

& Other Stories Gathered Maxi Dress

5. Easy Heels

Your honeymoon is not the time to pack that killer pair of 6-inch heels you keep stashed in the back of your closet. Instead, bring along a pair that you’ll have no problem walking to dinner and back in—wedges, espadrilles, and low block heels should do the trick nicely.

Castañer Carina 60 Canvas Wedge Espadrilles

6. Sight-Seeing Sneakers

This is a no-brainer for any vacation, but seeing it’s your honeymoon, we’d suggest investing in a fresh new pair of sneakers (just don’t forget to break them in before you jet off!)

SUPERGA 2790 PLATFORM SNEAKERS

7. Chic Loungewear

Looking chic while traveling is a skill that takes years to master, but having a go-to airport outfit definitely is a great place to start. So swap out your old leggings and sweater for styles with elevated fashion-forward details.

Revolve Koko Sweatpants

8. Sunglasses

Though your trendy ultra-thin or wildly-tinted sunglasses are certainty cute, you’re going to want to bring along something a little bit more classic on your honeymoon. This pair from Illesteva are sure to still hold up when you look back on honeymoon photos years from now.

Illesteva Leonard Round-Frame Acetate Sunglasses

9. Functional Luggage

Besides having a failsafe outfit formula, the right luggage makes a world of difference when it comes to traveling in style. A hard-sided suitcase—which makes organization a breeze for even the worst over-packers—and a classic carryall will be your trusty travel companion for years to come.

CALPAK x Jen Atkin Medium Suitcase

Longchamp Large Le Pilage Tote

10. Cute Pajamas

It bears repeating that your honeymoon is definitely not the time to shove your ratty, decade-old t-shirt and sweats into your suitcase. Instead, opt for something sweet and classic like this set from Rails. We promise it’s just as comfortable (and will make morning snuggle sessions even cuter).

An Enchanting Strawberry-Themed Garden Party Wedding Filled with Joy and Color

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Shades of white, pink, and strawberries, Ethan / Laura Sapienza: What did you envision your wedding being before planning? I envisioned my wedding as an enchanting garden party! Everyone is dancing, enjoying the good views and better company. What was your favorite moment? Your favorite crafted detail? My favorite moment had to have been walking down the aisle. Everything looked so stunning, and it really felt like I was in a dream. Time slowed down. My favorite crafted detail has to be the welcome poster. It was alast-minutee addition, and it really set the tone for the evening. This was an evening to celebrate our journey, with everyone who helped us along the way. What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be? Take breaks in the planning process if you can! It’s overwhelming, and I found stepping away from things and coming back to them later to be a really good solution. Squeeze your butt cheeks together to stop yourself from crying too much as you read your vows. And if you’re getting married in the daytime – order the bubbles! They look so good in pictures!

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

What was your color palette and your style vision? Our wedding was strawberry themed! My husband and I met at NYU’s Strawberry Festival and have matching strawberry tattoos to commemorate. The groomsmen wore red (strawberry) ties and socks. The bridesmaids wore light green. We even had a bright red ring bearer to match!

couldn’t have loved the flowers more. They were by Wisteria Lane. They were colorful and romantic – exactly what I asked for!

The addition of little bowls of “Harry’s berries” on the tables and on the cake added a little interesting touch

My parents had saved the Cake Topper from their wedding day, and I was thrilled to be able to use it for our wedding.

[field title=”Special Detail #1″]

What unique elements or DIY details did you include? Quite a few! We named our tables on streets that either of us has lived on. We felt that was a nicer option over numbering tables. We also had a handmade welcome poster that included the earliest photo of us together we could find. For the table assignments, we ordered vintage postcards from Los Angeles, since the wedding was a destination wedding for much of our family. It created a great photo wall for our guests and a lovely memento. The groomsmen’s ties were custom-made from a tablecloth we found on eBay. We did strawberry mimosas with Harry’s Berrys Strawberry juice as a welcome drink! We ordered bubbles for the guests to blow during the ceremony, and that came out beautifully in the pictures. I wrapped my bouquet in one of my Dad’s old ties. He has passed on, but it was a way for him to be there with me. We really found that a limited theme helped open up our creativity.

[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

The favors were chocolates in pretty packaging from a local chocolate shop. Something sweet to remember us by!

A Miami Homecoming Wedding with Mediterranean Color and Italian Sprezzatura

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]

Weeding colors reflected a warm and elegant Mediterranean palette with vintage and romantic touches, such as in marigold, soft whites, basil, and mint, with a touch of terracotta and muted blush.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

It was important for me to get married in Miami and in the US more broadly. Having moved to the UK as a teenager, I saw it as a wonderful excuse to bring all my favourite people—Ben and his family and our friends included—from my life across the pond back to my roots. The Surf Club, our chosen venue, has special resonance for my family. We have spent so many family gatherings and milestones there. The property is oozing with history from a yesteryear of old school Miami charm. It glistens with a true touch of Mediterranean elegance and an air of Italian sprezzatura. When our wedding planner, Annie Lee of Daughter of Design, asked us how we wanted our guests to feel, I said, “as if they had been to the most fun family dinner in their lives!” This,s to m,e meant three things: intimate company, delicious Italian food, and music at every turn. Nostalgia is a feeling I wanted to evoke.

Ben and I met at a Shabbat dinner in London preceding our mutual friends’ wedding. I was the best friend of the bride, and he was the best friend of the groom, but somehow, we had never crossed paths! In the past, before we met, he had likely left the pub just as I arrived. If there were such things as sliding doors moments in life, this was a case in point. I’ll never forget the faces of the bride and groom across from us as they watched me and Ben ensconce ourselves deeper and deeper into conversation. Fast forward through whirlwind dates exquisitely planned by Ben, one trip across the world to India, and two years later to our own wedding day.

My day began in one of the iconic ’30s bungalows at The Surf Club, where I woke up with my sisters to a delicious Italian breakfast. My mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, and sisters-in-law joined to get ready and enjoy a beautiful Surfside morning. I couldn’t wait to get into my Dana Harel gown. At our welcome party the evening before the wedding, I wore a vintage Prada dress that I plucked at the last minute from my mother’s closet! I felt it gave me the ease to glide through the weekend with elegance, so when I got into my wedding gown, I felt confident and ready! The gown is classic, its lacework exuding quintessential romance.

Ben got ready with his father and brother nearby. He couldn’t wait to wear his custom Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit and Manolo Blahnik shoes. In fact, we were both in Manolos!

As the cocktail hour ended, the shades on the iconic dinner terrace lifted, and a spotlight shone on the extraordinary Louis Amanti at the other end, beckoning guests into the dinner with Fly Me To the Moon. Guests found their seats by virtue of little numbered bags containing 5 ‘confetti’ or almonds, each representing a different wish for the couple. Bowls of pasta were served, and words were exchanged. It was a transportive experience to dine on the terrace as Amanti swooned about and crooned guests to Sinatra and Elvis. My grandmother was serenaded to her favorite song, Can’t Help Falling in Love with You. By the end of dinner, everyone was on their feet with napkins lassoing in the air. Our planners practically had to fight to get us all to move on to the next segment of the evening.

Tables were laid with striped linens and arranged by Petal Productions with lush yellow ranunculus and a jardinière of fresh basil and mint. If you closed your eyes, you may have imagined yourself on a terrace in Ravello!

The dance floor was pure rock n’ roll bliss. Our band was composed of Yoli Mayor and Les Greene, who stunned guests with iconic renditions of Queen. Ben and I (almost!) mastered our first dance to Van Morrison’s Days Like This,s and my dad and I oded and air guitared to old school Americana with Tom Petty’s American Girl.

Ceremony: The ceremony was important to us, especially in the way that we wanted to honour both of our faiths. We were so grateful to have found a priest and a rabbi who would bring to the ceremony all the overlapping values of Catholicism and Judaism. One of my most vivid memories was standing under our storybook reminiscent chuppah as both the priest and rabbi draped their respective shawls over each of our shoulders. The light wind and rain were not even a deterrent; in fact, we embraced it as good luck! My Italian Catholic American roots and Ben’s Jewish English roots blended so beautifully. Worlds, cultures, and religions truly did collide. After the ceremony, Ben and I snuck off to the bungalow to share a martini—our favourite drink!— while guests congregated for drinks on the terrace, teeming with trays of Aperol spritz. Yoli Mayor, one of our epic musicians, sang some of our favorite songs from Fleetwood Mac, Cat Stevens, and Carole King. Music was an integral part of each moment. My dad is originally from Detroit, and Ben’s father had an iconic career in music in the UK, so it was important for us to work with musicians who would evoke a spirit of true artistry.

This Blush-Toned Amalfi Coast Wedding Was The Dinner Party Of A Lifetime

[section title=”The Planning”]
[field title=”Wedding Colors”]White, blush, green[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]

Inspired by the natural beauty of the Amalfi Coast, Ericka and Gary envisioned their wedding weekend as an intimate, dreamlike celebration — like a spring evening in Italy with no curfew. Ericka embraced her love of pink and leaned fully into every magical notion throughout the planning process. The floral design followed a romantic, blush-toned palette to complement the breathtaking views of Ravello, framed by an altar of roses and branches.

Ericka and Gary first met at the rehearsal dinner for a mutual friend’s wedding. Ericka’s initial impression of Gary was one of mild annoyance, as he had interrupted her conversation from across the table. She leaned over to the bride and asked, “Who is that?” The bride replied, “That’s actually your partner in the wedding — Gary.” By the next day, however, Gary had made quite a different impression. He was thoughtful and attentive, bringing Ericka food and drinks throughout the day, and was the only one who rushed to help when a full veggie tray spilled across her dress. Later that evening, Gary asked her for a dance, and Ericka agreed. They ended up talking well into the early morning hours, though Ericka had an early flight to catch. With no plans to stay in touch, they said goodbye. But when Ericka arrived in the hotel lobby the following morning, bags in hand, Gary was there waiting to ask for her number. “When I got home, flowers were waiting for me,” she recalled. “And the rest, as they say, is history!” For Ericka’s 28th birthday, Gary planned a trip to Paris, setting the stage for a proposal that had been months in the making. He proposed along the Seine River, with the Eiffel Tower glittering in the background. “I’m officially the happiest man alive,” Gary wrote. “Here’s to forever with my love.”

Ericka said yes to her dream Pnina Tornai gown in front of the designer herself. “It was truly what dreams are made of,” she wrote. Together, they customized the look, extending her veil by four feet for added drama. On the wedding day, Ericka’s dress was even more captivating.

Reception decor was as airy as a modern fairytale. The couple brought in their own chandeliers and selected floral tablecloths to mirror the arrangements, creating a lush, cohesive design. Every pink-hued detail was perfectly coordinated, unfolding in a flurry of botanical beauty set against the spectacular backdrop of the Italian hillsides.

Before the hillside ceremony, the couple set aside time to be legally wed at the Ravello courthouse — having completed extensive paperwork and worked closely with the Italian Embassy to make it happen. “It was so worth it to us,” they wrote. “We cried the entire time, feeling so overcome with joy.” The quiet emotion of that moment created a magical energy that carried straight into the ceremony.
