Style Me Pretty: Wedding Blog for the Style-Obsessed Bride

This Grace Kelly-esque Fairytale Wedding is a Must-See Classic

Does a lakeside, ballroom, Grace Kelly-esque kind of wedding sound like your jam? ‘Cause that’s what we’re serving up today alongside Lasting Impressions Weddings and Trish Allison Photography. It was the Bride’s childhood wedding dreams come true—from getting ready in her home on the lake to saying I do in the church she grew up attending, all topped off with the most dazzling reception we’ve seen in a while. This beauty also happens to be one of our editors—go give her some love!

From the Bride… I grew up surrounded by lake life in Minnesota. So when it came time for my (now) husband and me to plan our wedding, it only seemed fitting to center it around the biggest lake in the Twin Cities – Lake Minnetonka. Throughout the planning, which was done from where we were currently living in San Francisco, I reflected on sweet childhood memories to inspire the day. Think popsicle-infused prosecco signature drinks, pictures taken on my favorite dock in downtown Wayzata, and a local specialty, walleye, served at dinner. The elegant nature of our venue, Lafayette Club, only elevated the evening with its jaw-dropping chandeliers, scalloped windows lake views, and an all-white exterior that exuded classiness as you walked with your champagne flute through the door.

I’ve always trended towards traditional taste, so I knew a country club on the lake would be the perfect venue to set the tone for the day. To complement the season, I adorned it in as much white, blush, and subtle pops of greenery as possible. (let’s just say our flower request was a tall order!) Other must-haves included a lively, 12-piece band, champagne passed on the hour, and scattered tea candles everywhere. For attire, my husband rocked a sharp velvet tux jacket (with matching velvet loafers to boot!) while I paraded around in a slim-fit Galia Lahav gown with a cascading train. All of this made it come together like a true Grace Kelly-esque fairytale.

We started the day by getting ready at my house, which was conveniently located on the lake the reception was held on. In between doing hair and makeup, the girls spent time sipping coffee on the deck overlooking the lake in their adorable matching floral robes. It was the perfect backdrop for a few candid photos!

Following a ceremony at my childhood church, we squeezed in bridal party photos on the docks of my favorite locale growing up – downtown Wayzata. The sharp black tuxes and blush bridesmaids gowns looked stunning against the watery backdrop, an ideal way to set the tone as we made our way towards the club.

Lafayette Club fulfilled the timeless look I had envisioned for my wedding with its all-white interior to greet guests as their vehicles pulled around the semi-circle drive-up. Along with this, came a chance for me to really play up the details. Think a floor-to-ceiling custom balloon wall in our wedding colors to prep the cocktail hour space for a night of fun. And signature his and her drinks, which including a Wisconsin Old Fashioned (where my husband is from) and a prosecco popsicle option for her (creatively titled a “Minnesota Meltdown”). On the dancefloor, I featured an enlarged, gold version of the custom monogram we had on our stationery suite, surrounded by towering arrangements of spring flowers on every table. A specially made donut wall continued our “light and bright” color theme, with goods baked up specially from our favorite Minneapolis donut store. An adorable local coffee cart was stationed next to the dance floor, which got its fair share of visits as the band commanded more energy with each passing hour.

Overall, the day fulfilled every vision of grace and elegance we had hoped for – with our own Minnesota twist – thanks to these special details. Nods to life on the lake surrounded practically every element of the day too, which seemed all too fitting for this Twin Cities loving gal.

How One Couple Celebrated Each Chapter of Their Love Story During Their Vow Renewal

We all know that vow renewals are a time to celebrate the milestones, the growth, the accomplishments and so much more that you and your S.O. have achieved together since saying “I do”, but not everyone knows exactly how to touch on so many years of beautiful memories while sharing your excitement for the future at the same time! Well, allow this gorgeous couple to seriously inspire you. With a little help from A. Griffin Events, this husband and wife managed to commemorate their past, present and future with every detail of their vow renewal ceremony on their 5th year anniversary. Head over to the full gallery captured by Madeleine Collins Photography to see the magic unfold!

From A. Griffin Events… What better way to embrace a move to a new city than by celebrating an anniversary? For their fifth anniversary, Ashley and Brett hosted an intimate vow renewal in their new home of Los Angeles, inspired by their Mediterranean honeymoon five years prior. Anniversaries are a wonderful opportunity to look back at the past and ahead to the future, which is exactly what we wanted to signify with Ashley and Brett. They hosted the vow renewal in their new city of Los Angeles, and Ashley wore the same custom wedding gown she wore on her wedding day, designed by Modern Trousseau.

Because a fifth wedding anniversary must be celebrated in style, Ashley chose to wear nude suede Jimmy Choo open-toe heels and her yellow gold halo solitaire diamond ring by Susie Saltzman, as always. In contrast, Brett wore a deep custom suit with a stylish, slim fit. In keeping with the high-fashion ensembles, Brett chose to wear his shoes without socks for a modern look. In designing this Mediterranean-inspired vow renewal, we pulled colors from memorable spots Ashley and Brett visited on their honeymoon. Aqua reminiscent of the Mediterranean sea, soft neutrals from the beaches found off the coast of Greece, bright white from the houses lining the Amalfi Coast, and touches of green found in the lush vines of Italian vineyards. Touches of gold representing the constantly-shining sun were added to tie the color palette together.

We first utilized the talent of Every Little Letter to create an invitation suite that included a custom illustration of Tuscan cypress trees and Italian ruscus. Softened with a vellum overlay and then sealed with the most romantic gold wax seal, the invitation suite was as romantic as Ashley and Brett’s love for each other. EverBloom Florals kept each floral element organic and whimsical, just as Italian vines grow loosely. We started with a ceremony backdrop that stood asymmetrically, like the trees of the Italian countryside. Ashley held a beautiful, loose bouquet of all of Ashley’s favorite flowers, including panda anemones with the softest navy center that picked up the navy of Brett’s suit. Ashley’s bouquet was tied at the base with a sand-colored silk ribbon that moved ever-so-softly in the wind. A large, loose compote arrangement drew the eye to the center of the dinner table with blooms sprouting playfully in each direction.

Like the sea, an aqua velvet runner from BBJ Linen flowed down the center of the table, pooling slightly at the bottom of the table for a soft, romantic look. A custom vellum-topped menu with a gold wax seal picked up the gold in the flatware and gold-rimmed french-inspired china from Cherished Rentals. As another nod to Ashley and Brett’s time in France, Sugar Alkymi created a stylish cake inspired by the French Riviera, with almost wave-like texture and touches of gold foil. Because of their deep love for dessert, we added French macarons by Joy and Sweets in both white and aqua with gold foil. As a final detail, we added touches of smilax and small blooms for a wispy, romantic feel. Shortly after moving to L. A., Ashley and Brett made another large decision for their future: they adopted Benedict, their corgi puppy. Having fallen in love with him immediately, they knew they wanted a piece of their future in their celebration of their past. Holding the very important role of ringbearer, we adorned Benedict’s collar with touches of greenery (that he, as a puppy, quickly ate.)

A Toronto Fixer Upper with Ridiculously Beautiful Natural Light

I’ve always believed that the best characteristic a home can have is natural light. Sure, paint, lighting and good design are all necessary (and very present in this home), but that natural light is key. And it’s absolutely pouring into Andrea McQueen‘s stunning abode that we’re touring today. Her fresh and crisp style is right up my alley and I can’t wait to see what this budding designer is going to do next. If you need me, I’ll be pinning every single snap from Nicole Lewis to my home board. Join me for the full tour!

From Andrea McQueen… My home is located in Burlington Ontario, a suburb of Toronto. It was built in 1986, and was in original condition when we found it (dusty rose carpet all over the master bath, linoleum floors, and a white melamine kitchen). We’d been searching for a fixer upper for over a year, and our rock star realtor found this property before it came on the market, so we were able to snatch it up quickly. Although it was dated, it had great bones, was on a huge lot, and had tons of natural light. We camped out in the basement during the 10 week renovation (not something I recommend to clients!), which enabled me to oversee all of the construction.

When it comes to design, I love to create spaces that improve the way we live. Life can be hectic when you’re juggling a career, kids, activities, and social commitments. It’s so important that your home is your haven, where you can relax and unwind surrounded by the people and objects that bring you joy. My style is pretty classic, and I tend to incorporate trends with things like lighting and accessories.

Now that the construction phase is finally complete, I’m focussing on decorating the rest of my house. I’m a big believer in buying what you love, so I’m saving to invest in things like window coverings and am currently planning my Formal Dining and Living Room. My kids also want new bedrooms so that’s also on the list (it never ends!).

The kitchen and family room are where we spend the majority of our time. We love to entertain so I designed the 9 foot island to accommodate seating for guests while we cook. (The island may also be the scene of a few late night karaoke parties). The island is painted BM Hale Navy. It took a little time to convince my husband to commit to the blue but we’re so glad we did. The island includes a prep sink & second dishwasher (which was a total game changer and the best decision). I love how the soft gold hardware contrasts with the navy and white cabinets, and how the backsplash creates subtle movement and texture.

The Family Room is a relaxed, casual and cozy. I think its pretty classic but with a mid-century vibe, and nothing is too precious as we have two kids and a dog. We painted the original brick fireplace to match the clean white walls (BM Oxford White) and replaced the original mantle with a beautiful rustic reclaimed piece. I don’t love the look of a big television but we found one that has a super slim profile and I did my best to decorate around it. Fun fact- my two boys (ages 6 and 9) are currently obsessed with cooking shows, and they love to watch them on TV while they are in the kitchen whipping up their own “recipes” and pretending they are contestants on whatever show they’re watching.

The sofa is Mitchel Gold Bob Williams in a custom gray fabric, the throw pillows are all from Tonic Living, the chairs are West Elm Mid-Century Show Chairs, the rug is from Dash and Albert, the console is the Print Maker’s Console from Restoration Hardware, the art is from Canvas Gallery in Toronto, the faux fiddle leaf fig and basket are from Pottery Barn, the coffee table is from Pottery Barn, the drinks table is from Elte, the reclaimed mantle is from Loft Doors in Burlington.

The Master Bathroom is calm, serene, monochromatic (a big departure from what it was originally- see before pic). I really wanted to use marble on the floors but it wasn’t in the budget, so I went with a Mayfair Porcelain tile that has subtle veining and texture, and a “marble like” appearance. I laid it in a herringbone pattern to add interest. I used a basket weave marble on shower floor and in the niches, and designed a 7 x 8 foot double glass shower with dual rain heads and a hand held shower. The new bathroom has a ton of storage and is super functional.

The tub is from Costco, faucets are Brizo in Polished Nickel, Mirrors are from Restoration Hardware, Vivian Dual Sconce is Visual Comfort, George Mini Chandelier is Visual Comfort, Vanity is custom in BM Vintage Pewter, walls are BM Gray Owl, Styling Accessories are from Pottery Barn, Turkish Towels are from Tonic Living.

The kids bathroom was designed with my two little boys in mind. I went with a cheap and cheerful white hex tile and dark grout for contrast, and tiled the walls in subway tile (because… boys). The navy vanity and brushed gold hardware are consistent with the colour story in the rest of the house. There’s a ton of storage in the vanity and I love the character that the lighting adds. I also went with single lever faucets because they are easy to clean.

The Bistro 4-light Bathroom Sconce is by Visual Comfort. The custom double vanity in Hale Navy is by Top Notch Cabinets. The plumbing fixtures are Kohler, the Julia Rothman Dream Shower Curtain is from Hygge and West, the stool is from Loft Doors in Burlington, the art is from Etsy.

The Master Bedroom is a still a work in progress, but we’re getting there. I love a calm, serene vibe in a Master and tend to keep things minimal. I’m still in the process of layering in textiles for softness, and still need to find the perfect rug… I have white linen draperies on order from Q Design- I think the draperies will add so much softness to this space. And I’ve designed a sitting area (again- waiting to find the perfect pieces!). The mirrored side table and Upholstered bed are from Elte, the bench is Mitchell Gold Bob Williams, lamps are Pottery Barn Carlotta Lamps, Dresser is Vintage, light is Barbara Barry Simple Scallop Chandelier from Visual Comfort, Bedding is all Pottery Barn, Mirror is from Cocoon Furnishings, Canadian Art is all from Canvas Gallery in Toronto

As you can see, our home is still a bit of a work in progress. But its where we come together to connect, unwind, and enjoy each other’s company, and we are so happy here.

You’ll Want to Steal This Bride & Groom’s Adorable Anniversary Tradition!

High School sweethearts, Jessica & Michael, have a sweet tradition you may just want to steal for yourself. Every year on their anniversary they break out this box, filled with a bottle of wine and cards they’ve written to one another—a time capsule that gets replenished each year, which began at their ceremony. How fun is that?! There’s a whole lot more that you may want to steal from their celebration and you can view it all below, thanks to Jennifer Lam Photography.

Jessica & Michael were married this past May at Sea Cliff Manor on Long Island. Everything about their wedding was amazing. From their mismatched bridesmaids dresses, to Jessica’s flowing cathedral length veil and gorgeous florals! When it came time for their ceremony, Jessica walked down the aisle to Mike with the biggest smile on her face. The sun set behind them as they exchanged rings, and stared at their almost spouse! The bride & groom created a time capsule of sorts during their ceremony which included cards to each other and a bottle of wine. Every year on their anniversary, they will open that box, read the cards, and cheers to a great year of marriage. Then they will replenish the box with wine and new cards to open the following year, and every year after that. What a wonderful tradition and keepsake for their family!

From the Bride… Michael and I went to the same high school. Because it was such a large school, our paths never crossed until the first day of Senior year. Not knowing anyone in the class we both sat with our friend Melanie who introduced us. We instantly became best friends and could not get enough of each other. I also had developed a huge crush on him. It was just weeks before going to different colleges, in different states, I took the chance to tell Michael just how I felt about him. Worst case I would lose a friend and not have to see him again. Michael did not say much when I told him. I got scared. Then he asked me out on a date. We went on our first date the next night and have been together ever since. We dated just shy of 11 years before before making it official!

Our vision was simple, romantic, and elegant. When designing our space we felt less is more. We picked Sea Cliff Manor because it was not a huge, overwhelming ball room. We wanted an intimate party and Sea Cliff Manor was cozy and felt like home. All we needed were some flowers, some candles. We wanted the focus to be on just a having good time with good company.

A Kid Friendly Home from House of Hire

As an interior stylist with two little ones (and one on the way!) Lauren Elizabeth – stylist and face behind House of Hire – is who I want to be when I grow up. She approaches design with such a relaxed and meaningful style that every room in her home feels intentional and totally authentic to her family. As a mom of three, I can tell you without hesitation that building a home that not only tolerates little kids but that embraces them in a way that allows them to play and jump and make messes the way that kids do, while still being chic and well designed, is no easy feat. But Lauren did just that and the result is a space that is simultaneously magazine worthy and totally livable. Want more? Check out her insta here!

From Lauren Elizabaeth…When I am designing the rooms in our home I really try to keep functionality at the top of the list (despite what my husband thinks at times haha) and how we are planning on using the space. It can be tough at times because there are a lot of really beautiful pieces out there but I think it’s important to stay true to how the room is meant to function and build around that. When I keep that in mind it makes it a lot easier for the space to come together and the process is much more enjoyable!

Who do you look to (blogger, designer, etc) for your inspiration? I tend to find inspiration everywhere when it comes to design. Sometimes it’s an idea that pops into my head, other times Pinterest is a great place to go to get your creative juices flowing! There are also a lot of amazing designers out there like Studio Mcgee and Emily Henderson that really keep things fun and interesting.

Are there any mistakes you made when decorating? I think there are are always going to be things that you look back on and think you may have done differently. After all we are always growing and evolving and our tastes do change but I look at that as a good thing in a lot of ways.

In terms of flat out mistakes I would say to always tape off your trim and ceiling when painting – trust me it makes everything much easier!

Can you talk about designing around a family? Ensuring that the space is beautiful and yet functional for a family of five? I think finding that balance between good design and family is always evolving as your family grows.

I am all for the fact that you can have a home you are proud of and have children, it isn’t one or the other which I think it can be easy to think in some seasons of life. Doing things like selecting durable, scrubbable fabrics, baskets for toy storage, patterned rugs that hide wear and tear all help you to get a home you love and also one that can handle what a busy family throws at it.

What stores or online resources are your faves? There are so many home decor stores where I love to shop, though I would say I mostly use Homesense and Wayfair as they always tend to have a mix of affordable and current pieces.

If Meghan Markle Married Prince Harry in California, Here’s What The Wedding Would Look Like!

You had us at “inspired by the royals” – this gorgeous day planned by Sweetest Love Events is what classic weddings are all about. A chic Monique Lhuillier gown, elegant bridal updo, timeless green and white flowers by The Bloom of Time and of course, a love story that will never go out of style. Passionate royalists, don’t miss out on the full gallery of images captured by Anya Kernes Photography!

From the Bride… Our vision and overall feel for the wedding was simple elegance. Something that would be classic and timeless. I took a lot of inspiration from the royal weddings, as cliche as that may sound. I love all the tradition and elegance.

Franciscan Gardens was the only venue we toured and booked it soon after. It was a great combination of top service, location and intimacy. We wanted our guests to enjoy the entire venue and we were able to use the indoor and outdoor spaces. The venue really spoke for itself and we loved that about it.

We were excited to incorporate some of our special memories and interests as a couple into the wedding. One of mutual best friends officiated the wedding. All our table names were named after our favorite films or TV shows. My Mom brought leis to pay tribute to our Hawaiian side of the family and we made a donation to America’s VetDogs on behalf of our guests. Overall it was an amazing day, filled with so many special memories.

Our team of vendors made the day absolutely unforgettable and we were able to spend the best day with all our closest family and friends. One of the best memories for us was watching everyone enjoying themselves, eating, drinking and dancing.

Looking down at our wedding party head table with the gorgeous decorations, flowers and chandeliers. The wonderful speeches made by our families, a mini college reunion and great music makes for the best day of our lives.

This is the Perfect Wedding Blueprint for an Old World French Vibe

This entire editorial was inspired by that stunner Kate McDonald dress, and understandably so. From that, stemmed a French-inspired garden wedding blueprint that I truly hope one of you will scoop up and turn into your own. Kaleb Norman James Design, Maria Lamb and Amanda K Photography all made it come to life here in the full gallery.

The inspiration behind this shoot came after finding this Kate McDonald dress. We were immediately stuck by the gowns combination of the soft blue tones and the darker blue & purple accents in the beading. It all just felt very French.

The design for the shoot continued from there, bringing out the gowns accent colors into the floral & tablescape, with the mauve velvet chairs, light blue table linen & soft lavender/blush tones in the lilacs & peonies. The paper goods brought in the old world French vibe with our tonal color palette & vintage classic portraits throughout.

Crafting a Dream Bungalow in Venice Beach

Growing up in Southern California, I am all too familiar with cute little beach bungalows. Think a craftsman with loads of charm and small, cozy spaces. This Venice Beach version got a modern makeover taking it from vintage love nest to gorgeous 21st century charm with the design savvy of Marissa Cramer of Made Co. Take a tour of this seaside cottage with even more shot by Amy Bartlam in the VAULT.

My boyfriend & I live in a Venice Beach 100 year Craftsman in a neighborhood near Abbott Kinney. The house has gorgeous windows and details that you just don’t find in modern homes. It’s a small home, a bungalow, that’s loaded with charm and cozy qualities but was seriously lacking in modern touches throughout. We wanted to create a home that’s welcoming, bright and modern while maintaining some traditional touches – a home that reflects our hip neighborhood and it’s laid-back beach lifestyle.

KITCHEN

The kitchen was dated and needed the most attention. We removed the vinyl floors, purple built-in bench and replaced the countertops and backsplash.

We kept the original cabinets and gave them a fresh coat of white paint with new brass T-pulls from Schoolhouse Electric. My favorite feature is the new built-in bench w/ storage drawers. We have our morning coffee here and it’s become my designated office, we love it!

Kitchen Sources

DINING ROOM

The built-in bar is original to the home and a focal point when you first walk in through the front door. I added some brass Anthropologie knobs for an easy update.

Rather than installing any window treatments, we opted to keep the windows free to accentuate the trim and moldings and allow more natural light to fill the home. I love the edging on the dining table – the wood tones and curves bring a wonderful organic feel to the space.

Dining Room Sources

LIVING ROOM

With all the bright white trim, I wanted to use a dark moody blue on the walls and fell in love with Benjamin Moore’s Newburg Green.

Depending on the time of day and the light, the color can appear deep navy or it may have some green undertones showing in the early evening hours. It’s a gorgeous color and a great backdrop for the lighter sofa and wood touches.

BEDROOM

Our bedroom is a nice balance of masculine and feminine with the navy velvet curtains, gray walls and touches of blush and brass.

This Thailand Wedding Has Us Falling in Love With Floral Arbors All Over Again

We’re still not sure which is more beautiful, the panoramic ceremony views of the Andaman Sea in Thailand or the towering floral arbor lush with pink and cream blooms by IAMFLOWER. But, there’s one thing we know for sure – this wedding is a total STUNNER. The blushing bride had 3 equally gorgeous outfit changes, one for the ceremony and two for the reception, while her bridesmaids celebrated alongside in matching mauve gowns. Guests dined under a canopy of twinkle lights and cascading greenery at the reception – the entire day went off without a hitch thanks to The Wedding Bliss Thailand! Check out the full gallery captured by Jada Poon Photography to see all the pretty…

From The Wedding Bliss Thailand… Monica and Rex met back in 2008 in London where they both studied at Imperial college. One of their romantic dates was having a picnic on Primrose Hill overlooking London on a beautiful autumn afternoon.

During their trip to Iceland for their 100 months “anniversary” as a couple, they hiked to the top of the waterfall called Systrafoss with picturesque and romantic scenery overlooking the Southern part of Iceland. Rex found a quiet in a spot, knelt on one knee and the rest is history.

Monica and Rex came up with all overall elegant, rustic and timeless romantic wedding theme, combining light and airy colours like blush, pearled ivory, nude, with accents of green and burgundy. They chose February, the month of love, to celebrate their big day, taking place at the breathtaking panoramic views of the Andaman Sea, Villa Aye.

While working on the wedding design, we made sure every detail was well intended and reflected the couple’s aesthetic. Bride specially requested for her favourite flowers to be included in floral compositions: Keira garden roses, Pink astilbe, Ranunculus “Hanoi”, spray roses, Cafe latte and Chocolate scabiosa, — the overall result turned out elegant and classy, with a slight rustic charm. The reception was under the light brown wooden structure marquee, set up with nude drapes to soften the edges of the beams, hanging light bulbs and greenery vines.

This is What It Looks Like When You Marry an English Garden-Inspired Wedding with Mexican Flare

Krista and Pedro’s wedding celebration is the ultimate model of blending two heritages and the result is STUNNING, friends. Who knew that English garden wedding mashed up with Mexican flare could be so pretty? Whitewood Events and Amy Osaba made that happen with their design and floral genius, respectively; while Amanda Olivia Photography captured this collection of images for us to soak in. What’s your favorite detail from this day?

From the Bride… Pedro and I married on May 18 in Athens, Georgia. Our entire celebration took part in a small garden that’s a stone’s-throw away from where I attended art school. We just loved how cozy and tucked away it felt. When I told my parents we were considering the garden as our venue, they shared that they’d actually dated there. So the decision was made!

When I imagined our day, I considered our personal stories, families, and ancestries. Pedro was born in California with extended family and ancestry rooted in Mexico. I was born in Georgia with predominantly British ancestry. In communicating to vendors, I often summarized the aesthetic as: “An English garden with Mexican details and a romantic color palette”.

Our ceremony took place in the upper garden. Decor built on design elements already in the space, including cement textures and black accents. We chose to purchase, rather than rent, the planters used for the altar, because I loved the idea of incorporating them into our home as a tangible reminder of the day. One of my favorite memories is from my last moments in hiding when our string trio played “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”—an homage to the city where we met. I definitely teared up, and I’ve been told I’m not the only one! We were married by my childhood pastor. The friend who originally introduced us was one of our readers and he was followed by Pedro’s father who wrote a poem for us.

Cocktail hour was in a courtyard between the ceremony and reception spaces. Guests had their choice of peach sangria as well as a variety of beer and wine from our home states. We had a great mariachi band who played a mixture of traditional songs and pop covers. We had a great time dancing to the mariachi band and Pedro’s dad even stepped in to serenade us for one of the songs.

The reception space was our highest priority since we’d spend most of our time there. We placed it in our favorite part of the property: a sunken garden accessed by a pair of ivy-covered staircases. It’s shaded by magnolia trees and has a small lily pond at the far end. The tables were laid out banquet style, dressed in velvet linens, and filled with lush florals, fruit, and candles. We hung custom papel picado over the dance areas. Guests indulged in Southern comfort food while we did our formal dances. Our first dance was to Carla Morrison’s “Eres Tú”. Parent dances followed, and we had our siblings cut in halfway through to add a personal touch.

This Intimate Summer Wedding Puts A Fresh Spin on Southern Charm

This is southern charm like you’ve never seen done before, y’all. The gorgeous bride and groom tied the knot in an intimate summer wedding right outside of Charleston at Kiawah River under blankets of spanish moss – the setting couldn’t have been more romantic. Designed by Host & Haven, the solo reception table was decorated with unique details such as tortoise shell plates, bamboo director chairs and fresh white blooms from Vero Designs. Simply Sarah Photography captured every sweet moment perfectly, check out the full gallery for some major The Notebook vibes.

From the bride… Will and I met at Washington & Lee University. I was a freshman and he was a junior. Strangely enough, Will was the first guy I met on campus! My roommate and I went to a fraternity party and I remember feeling like a fish out of water. Will came right up to us and started chatting away. It wasn’t love at first sight. We became good friends for my first year of college and hung around in the same circles. It wasn’t until my sophomore year that we both started to think we might be something more than just friends. We started dating casually and then Will was hurt in a really bad accident during a tennis match. He was captain of the tennis team at W&L and he put his leg through a window at the indoor tennis center during a match. It was a pretty awful accident and he almost lost his leg that day. I think we truly fell in love in those weeks and months after his accident. We spent so much time together and I was very much a part of his recovery process. Sometimes in the face of adversity and bad times, something really beautiful can come out of it!

Will and I got engaged in Oxford England at Blenheim Palace! Will and I were living in the UK at the time for our respective jobs. I was in London and he lived in Oxford. Blenheim is a beautiful palace just outside of Oxford in the Cotswold’s that we frequented on weekends. We used to go for walks there and attend lots of local events. It is such a beautiful spot that Will felt it would be the perfect place to propose. He needed someone to bring the ring over from the US so he enlisted his parents to fly over for a visit to bring the ring and plan a surprise. We went to tour the estate with his parents and then he pulled me aside to go for a walk around the lake. He was nervous so I knew something was up! He got down on one knee right beside the lake and in the middle of rolling English fields. It was such a beautiful backdrop for the occasion. We then met up with his family for a champagne brunch at a pub to celebrate! I later learned that the night before, he dropped the ring in the sink of my apartment trying to look at it. After it almost went down the drain, he needed to get that ring on my finger ASAP!

Our favorite memory from our wedding is definitely the band. We hired the Liquid Pleasure super show for our reception. The band is a really special piece of our history together. Liquid Pleasure would play every year at Washington and Lee’s Parent’s Weekend. To this day our parents still talk about those parties and rave about the ladies who really bring the heat. They are the most fun and make everyone dance like there is no tomorrow. Our friends have since hired them for their weddings so it has been awesome to see them over and over again! My second favorite memory is leaving the ceremony to head to the reception. We had a second to just soak everything in and talk just the two of us.

We can’t say enough good things about Simply Sarah. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but we truly think of her as a friend after our wedding day. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and really gets to know you on a personal level. The whole day flowed so effortlessly which is a testament to Sarah’s care and guidance throughout the festivities. The pictures are natural and full of life and love which is a testament to her skill and timeless aesthetic. She made us laugh, cry, and celebrate all day. We usually don’t like getting our picture taken but you hardly even notice the camera when Sarah is around. I wouldn’t have hired anyone else to capture all the special moments of our day. Sarah’s work will be a forever memento of the best day of our lives!

Coastal-Inspired Home with Crazy Good Exposed Beams + Beaded Chandys

Three cheers for beaded chandeliers. This home is practically dripping in them which is clearly fine by us since, as we previously mentioned, we’re die hard fans of major lighting moments. And between the beads, the entry star, and gorgeous exposed beams, this home is speaking our love language. With the help of Blackband Design and Tessa Neustadt, there’s a whole vault full of pretty for you to get lost in.

This home had a lot of its original Spanish style architecture which we loved, but we wanted to modernize it and bring a coastal vibe to the design. One of the biggest goals for our clients was to keep things family friendly and comfortable, while still looking sophisticated for entertaining.

We started by refreshing the paint color in a lighter, crisp tone to help open up the space. We kept the color scheme very monochromatic, a mix of naturals with fresh accents by pulling in grays, creams and taupes.

Most of the furnishings in this home were custom made including the entry consoles, dining table, dining buffet, sofas, coffee table, desk, the built-ins in the kids playroom, and all of the rugs. By designing custom furnishings it allows us to offer our clients one of a kind pieces that we can alter in size, materials, finish, etc.

This Spot in the World Was Made for Intimate Destination Weddings

We’ve been serving up a whole lot of Lake Como weddings as of late and I’m not one bit mad about it. It’s truly the stuff that wedding dreams are made of… with it’s incredible views, old-world charm and quaint ceremony spots that were put on this earth for intimate I dos. Take a moment to experience this celebration planned by Fanny Staaf Events and captured by 2 Brides Photography, it will be time well spent, promise.

With the love and support from family and friends, Elin and Abdré married in a special ceremony at the Villa Pizzo by Lake Como in Italy. It was one of those days where you just felt you didn’t want it to end. Like ever. At the end of the evening we put our cameras away, danced, had a glass of champagne and just lived it. After 12+ hours feet hurt, your shoulders are somewhat tense, and your cheeks are in pain from smiling so much!

I’m so thankful for the series of events that led me to meet Elin and André. They are an absolutely charming couple, and I’m beyond grateful I got to document their beautiful wedding day. The vision was to make Elin and André’s wedding as personal as possible! The planner Fanny Staaf Events wanted to bring in so much of their history, life together, and their personalities. The color palette was based on the stone in Elin’s ring, and their living room couch, the rest of the design was based on their love for interior styling.

They didn’t care much for a cake, so it was exchanged for a champagne tower, a close friend of the bride and groom officiated the wedding for maximum personality and the catering company composed a customized menu according to their wishes instead of serving from their regular selection. Every little detail breathed Elin and André, and nothing was by chance or because tradition dictates it to be included. Their monogram that graphic designer Elin’s Art Studio produced was put a lot of thought to it. The line that goes through the A and E symbolizes a strand of hair since the bride is a hair stylist. Finally, the letters lean against each other just as Elin and André do.

A few words from the graphic designer, Elins Art Studio… Coming up with the suite for this lovely couple was a treat! As he is a retired professional football player and she is a influencer hairdresser I created their monogram to represent both a strand of hair, or a football being swooshed through the air.

Fanny had made an amazing mood board, inspired by the couples decorating style, and their big navy velvet sofa. So I took on the challenge to gold foil on velvet paper. It was tricky to make the design so thin, but with some trial and error we ended up with pleasing results both esthetic and in quality. The blue marble design is a hint to both the lake itself, and as a crossover between Italian and Scandinavian design. So I also incorporated that into the mandatory map. A villa as beautiful as Villa Pizzo is a must to illustrate.

I always think as practical as I can when I design for a wedding. We had two challenges here, where the fist was we had to ship everything down, and make it fit in a suitcase. the second thing was that they were going to eat outside, and we can’t have the paper goods flying away at the smallest breeze.
So I ended up making a vellum bellyband, with the marble pattern and everybody namne in white ink. This was wrapped around both the menu and the napkin to give it some weight. I loved making this crossover Swedish minimalism meets Italian villa, and I would love to make something like this again!

This Santorini Destination Wedding Has Dream Views You Need To See

I’m ready to book my next vacation after seeing today’s fete from Les Anagnou Photographers. Santorini, here I come. This spot has long sat on my travel wish list, but today it jumped into my top three. For Desiree and Jason, a destination wedding was a no-brainer (after researching costs for a local wedding), and the result is a celebration at Canaves Oia that I just know will pull at your wedding-loving heartstrings. Soak in all the scenery right here.

From the bride… We really were inspired to have a destination wedding in Santorini from our first visit to the island the year prior to our wedding. It’s actually kind of funny — we were totally against destination weddings before our trip but we just loved Santorini so much and the staff at Canaves Oia were just so friendly and inviting, that we knew we couldn’t go wrong if this was our venue. After that trip we actually looked into having a wedding there before we even got engaged!

We got engaged that summer and then toyed with the idea of having something local but once we viewed costs, the value of a destination wedding just couldn’t be beat. Being able to have your closest friends and family travel to a beautiful place they might not have otherwise traveled to and being able to celebrate for days rather than just for hours really helped us make that decision. Everything was so laid back and calm the day of. I really entrusted the staff and despite our room being footsteps from the venue, I never even went to see how things were going! One of the moments I really appreciated was being able to have breakfast and a swim with my husband the morning of. I think when you are in such a beautiful locale, even if something goes wrong it would be hard to notice. I was also against a first look prior to our photographers suggestion, because I was worried all of the emotion would be left in that moment and guests would miss it. But really it is another opportunity to create a special moment between you two and I promise there was plenty of emotion left for the ceremony! It also allows you to get those photos done prior so you can get to the party faster!

Our planning process really began with the venue, Canaves Oia, which provided us with options for just about every aspect of the wedding, including our incredible four course meal, wedding cake, non-floral décor, and menu/place cards, which is another benefit to having a destination wedding! The provided planner recommended our florist, Betty Flowers Santorini, who was amazing! And through browsing their website I noticed they credit the photographers for each wedding they style. So I started to pay attention to what style photos I really liked and that is how we found our photographers, Paul and Yiota of Les Anagnou. They both are truly amazing at what they do and are the sweetest people. I wanted our photos to have a timeless beauty and they delivered not only that, but so much more.

My biggest advice to couples is to absolutely do what you want for your day, whatever that means for you. It truly is about you and your partner and the commitment that you are making to one another, so being able to celebrate in the way you want makes it that much more special, memorable and enjoyable! Also, I may now be impartial to destination weddings but I would tell anyone considering it to lose the assumption that it would be more costly than a traditional wedding. We were able to have a beautiful locale, gorgeous photos, an incredible menu, closeness with our guests, and a gift of a sailing excursion for everyone the following day! For us that value just couldn’t be beat and we wouldn’t trade it for the world.

The Dreamiest Ruffled Wedding Dress That Will Leave You Blushing

Today we’re sharing some pretty from Her Maid of Honor that will without a doubt have you considering Bali for your destination wedding or elopement. The talented team at Bali Signature transformed the geometric design of Alila Villas Uluwatu with hanging pampas grass installations complete with sweet peas, ranunculus and roses (only the absolute dreamiest blooms of course). The modern yet soft tablescape captured by Alice Ahn perfectly complimented the dramatic views of the terrace. Our favorite part, you ask? The dress. Ohhh, the dress… grown-up girly girls are about to fall in love with this blushing beauty. See the full gallery for more!

From Her Maid of Honor… Bali is popularly known for its beautiful beaches and culture, but what most people are not familiar with is Uluwatu, the Southern Part of the island. Perched on limestone cliffs 100 metres above the Indian Ocean, the view from Alila Villas is nothing less than picture-perfect-aquamarine ocean vistas & glorious golden sunsets.

The architectural design of the venue is very modern with its signature pattern of wood slated pavilion. Our focus for the shoot is to create a design that works with the surrounding without overwhelming it. We picked feather as the basis of the design with a purpose to soften out the wooden geometrical pattern. We started the day with bridal preparation inside the villa followed by a ceremony in sunset cabana.

We kept things modern with the use of ghost chairs so they do not obstruct the amazing view, and added a hanging installation made of pampas grass which has a feather feel to it. With the help of Jeanny from Bali Signature, we transformed the lookout terrace into an intimate dinner setting.

She opted for beautiful flowers, such as lunaria , sweet pea, lagurus, ranunculus, roses, and preserved ferns, all in beautiful pastel shade, combined with a punch of pink in the menu and place card designed by Parler Studio. Photographed by Alice Ahn during sunset, the white turned into golden pink which makes the set up looks very dreamy.

This Chic Austin Wedding Took Place in a Glass Barn! The Ultimate Statement Venue.

If you’re looking to take your dream barn wedding next level, you must see this GLASS barn at Barr Mansion in Austin! This is rustic elegance at it’s finest, my friends. With guidance and planning by 36th Street Events, Aly & David celebrated in the chicest way possible for their summer fete—complete with a to-die-for blush Monique Lhuillier dress. I’m crushing hard on this one and I have a feeling you will too, once you peek at these captures by The Edges. What are you waiting for?!

From The Edges… Aly & David met at a dive bar in NYC several years ago and the rest is history! They had destination wedding in Aly’s hometown of Austin, TX. The wedding venue is an estate that includes a home built in 1898, a working farm, and a restored 18th century barn transported from New York. The design was a perfect blend of NYC chic and fun, quirky Austin with a moody and romantic aesthetic.

There were so many unique and personal design elements included throughout the day. The invitation and paper goods were created by one of their closest friends, Robert Alvarez. Guests were welcomed to the weekend with a box of treats like Tito’s Vodka (from Austin) and the couple’s favorites snacks of Goldfish crackers and champagne gummy bears. The ceremony backdrop was a custom pampas grass installation that perfectly complimented Aly’s dress.

Cocktail hour included live music and the cutest “beer burros” for entertainment. Instead of signature cocktails, they offered whiskey and bubbles stations so guests could sample different varieties of each. Dinner was served in a glass barn with rustic wood tables and lots of gold and black accents. The rest of the evening was spent dancing (to a live band, it’s Austin of course) and lounging in the warm Texas night.

This Is the Venue That Will Fulfill All Your Jane Austen Inspired Wedding Goals

If you happen to be dreaming of tying the knot in England, boy do we have the venue for you!

I encourage you to get lost in the pages (or gallery, in this case) and soak in every bit of it all!

About the shoot…With a location as amazing as Euridge Manor, we all knew the shoot had to be luxurious and a little different than a typical traditional wedding. The makeup artist, Christy Waterfall created a stunning soft natural, romantic look, and made the eyes pop! The makeup was absolutely perfect with the whole feel of the shoot. The floral designer, Flowers of Bath brought buckets of different textures, colors, genres of things. She was brilliant creating such magical pieces! We wanted everything to be luxurious and delicate and also feel attainable. The unique dresses and the beautiful blue suit were the perfect combination for the couple to pop out from the beautiful scenery and brought the attention straight to the couple, where it should be! It was a typical early spring day in England, a little bit of mist at times, and pretty cold. But everyone had the best, most upbeat attitudes and the whole day was just flawless.

Why You Shouldn’t Stress Over the Rehearsal Dinner So Much

With rehearsal dinners typically having little to no formal timeline, shorter times than the wedding day, and more casual attire, they are inarguably less hectic and eventful than the wedding day. The evening provides a relaxing night of greeting guests and introducing them to each other. If I haven’t convinced you yet, here are the key reasons you shouldn’t stress over the rehearsal dinner.

You’re Free to Schedule It as You Please

Susan Dunne remarks, “Traditionally your rehearsal dinner usually takes place the evening before your wedding following the ceremony run-through with your wedding planner. I tell our clients this can happen at anytime the day or two prior to the wedding. We have had our rehearsal in the morning and the couple heads out to a brunch vs. a dinner. It’s a win as they can get squeeze in a quiet and peaceful evening the night prior to their big day. Don’t stress about having to keep it traditional or don’t stress over the formality. Do what makes you and your fiancé happy, what truly represents you, it’s ok to have small bites and cocktails… Work with your planner to see what best suits you, your budget and style.”

Don’t Fret Over the Guest List

Susan Dunne also adds, “Don’t stress over the guest list. It’s nice to invite your guest who are coming from afar, however, it’s ok to just invite both immediate family, guest who have a part in your ceremony/reception, bridal party and their significant others.” You don’t need to worry about inviting all of your guests to the dinner if it’s not in the budget or if you simply want to spend the evening with a smaller crowd.

Focus on Family Time

Wedding planner Jacqueline Hallgarth stresses that the rehearsal dinner should be a joyful and relaxed evening that focuses on family bonding. She says, “Rehearsal Dinners & Welcome Receptions traditionally kick off an eventful Wedding Weekend. Since this would be the first time both sides’ closest family and friends are in one setting, you don’t want to put too much pressure on yourself and the event. Especially with a new family dynamic! Stress or anxiety on any Pre-Wedding Event can bleed into your emotions on the big day. Have fun with the Rehearsal Dinner and make it playful! If you and your fiancé are having a great time, this will translate to your guests and blissful Wedding Weekend!”

It’s More Casual Than the Wedding

Nancy and Anne of Fete in France note that “The rehearsal dinner is just that – a rehearsal – or preamble to the main event. In particular with destination weddings, rehearsal dinners act more as a welcome event and are a great way to kick off the festivities. One way to keep stress levels at bay is to have the rehearsal dinner be a less formal event, such as a cocktail party with heavy hors d’oeuvres. The cocktail party format can be chic and sophisticated, or laid back and casual, with fantastic food stations and even specialty cocktails. An added bonus it that avoids having to do yet another table plan, and allows you to mingle with your guests throughout the entire evening.”

Cavin Elizabeth is a wedding film photographer based in San Diego, California. Her wedding work has taken her all over the United States and abroad. In addition to being a photographer, Cavin is an educator and an avid blogger of wedding planning tips for brides and grooms. She authored the book A Bride’s Guide to a Picture Perfect Wedding, which teaches couples how to make wedding plans that are best for photography.

Calling all Patterned Tile Lovers! This Bath Reno will Steal Your Heart

Bathroom renovations can completely transform a home and if you’re going to give it an overhaul you might as well make it the most relaxing, gorgeous light filled space ever in existence. That was goal #1 for Jen’s bath and #2 was adding a bit of pattern. The result is stunning and perfect for the person who might be a wee bit afraid of #2. Those stunning cement tiles will make a believer out of you.

When my husband and I started renovating our 50’s cottage last year, the bathroom to be honest, was not very high on our to do list. But after a series of unfortunate events that began with updating the leaky galvanized plumbing to ripping out the dated built-in vanity and rotten floorboards, we found ourselves with a completely gutted bathroom.

For a while, we’d stare at this literal hole in the house that looked like a bunch of random 2×4’s with pipes sticking out here and there, bearing no resemblance to a bathroom whatsoever, and wonder what we had gotten ourselves into. With the help of an amazing contractor, however, we were put at ease as all the pieces slowly fell into place.

We wanted the bathroom to be low maintenance and practical yet fresh and relaxing. The door leading out to the dog run and backyard made the space ideal for freshening up after an afternoon of gardening or playing with the pup, and also let in a ton of natural light.

We finished the room with a coat of bright white paint and contrasted the starkness of the walls with brass and wooden accents as well as a show-stopping cement tile pattern for the floors. To say that I love the floors would be an understatement and while I am not one to be so bold with pattern typically, it has become one of my favorite design details in the entire house.

You Might Decide To Change Your Wedding Color Palette After Seeing THIS.

Can I go back in time and change my wedding color palette to this?! It is the juiciest combo of (as coined by the vendor team) beer, amber, mustard yellow, burnt orange and soft pale pink—all inspired by the venue. Brought to life by EVENTISTA and Inspirito, I’m daring one of you to abandon your current color selection and go for this. It’s too good to go to waste. Let Stepan Vrzala convince you even more with these whimsical images.

This wedding photoshoot was inspired by the interior design of the venue itself. The hotel restaurant has been newly renovated and there are some beautiful copper features that makes the place unique. Copper lamps installed inside the restaurant that resemble brewery tubes are not installed there by chance. They refer to the long-term brewing tradition of the city of Pilsen. Therefore the florist used some flowers in earthy shades reminiscent the colours of beer, amber, mustard yellow, burnt orange and soft pale pink for more feminine touch.

With this colour palette in mind, EVENTISTA, responsible for the event styling started to work out their visions. Colours and interior design were the starting point for this editorial. We wanted to create a very unique and contemporary environment where elements with a romantic touch can stand out. The stationery, cake and decoration are pure sophistication, but without any kind of opulence. Unique picture world of photographer Stepan Vrzala shows us a wonderfully refreshing and heavenly carefree atmosphere.
