A Floating Ceremony Oasis On The Water Is Just The Start Of This OMG Wedding

Hands up if you’re ready to be dazzled! From a ceremony structure designed to float on water to a jaw-dropping reception room with flowers blooming from every service, we’re swooning over every bit of this wedding. If you can believe it, that’s just the beginning. Julia Kaptelova artfully shot every detail, like the ballet performance guests were treated to and snow falling from the ceiling for the first dance! Prepare to be amazed and take a visit to the full gallery.



From About You DecorOur design is a symbol of dawn and a distant endless horizon. Ahead is a long, happy life without any borders. An international couple, Pavel and Cherry, met in London and have been walking together for many years.

The wedding ceremony in the country club was an 8 meters long pier, going into the water, which we built and strengthened from the ground. Round mirror construction was attached to the main construction and designed with floral installations. A weightless glass arch and thin metal bars organically complemented the landscape, absorbed shades of sky and water, as if there were no borders between the two worlds. The ballroom was full of fresh flowers in colors of dawn sky. Installation above the table of the couple was designed with airy clouds, fluttering birds and sparkle of crystals. 

From the Bride, Cherry… My husband and I we decided to have our summer wedding in Moscow because the city is where his roots are. As we knew we were going to have the other wedding ceremony in China, we wanted our Moscow one to be very personal and intimate. We’ve known each other since we were fourteen, together with many of our friends whom we’ve also known for a decade.



I didn’t want to walk down the aisle twice so the plausibility of my request quickly came into discussion. The open pontoon stage was constructed in order to facilitate the bridal entrance on water, although there were concerns about safety as the last thing we wanted was probably a drowned bride before she could get on stage, picture that! I have to say on that day it wasn’t easy to get on the pontoon stage from the boat, in my long gown and high heels. Luckily my bridesmaids still noticed even though they stood the furthest from me on the stage, and helped me out without prior rehearsal. My girls could just tell whenever I needed a hand or maybe they were just so used to my clumsiness. Who knows 😂

We all love our photographer Julia! She’s so talented and her style is so unique. Our beloved host Alex is exceptional who made everyone laugh and cry. It was truly a blessing to have so many kind and beautiful souls on our big day. Thank you all!

Inspired by Ocean Waves, This Wedding Takes Watercolor to the Next Level

If you’ve always been obsessed with the watercolor wedding trend, then this Moscow affair is about to blow your mind. The talented team at Caramel and Latte Decor took inspiration from the ocean waves, blue sky and rays of sunshine to create the most wow-worthy watercolor reception backdrop we’ve ever seen. Oh, and did we mention the tables are in the shape of waves too? Yup. It’s safe to say you have to check out the full gallery captured perfectly by Julia Kaptelova Photography! It’s a total dream.

From the Bride… Our proposal story was really amazing! My boyfriend has chosen a beautiful date 21. 12 and one week before that he told me that we need to give an interview to the hockey club where he plays. It was not for a first time, so I didn’t suspect a thing. In the evening of the 21st of December we went to one of skyscrapers in downtown, where a studio was. We met an interviewer, who took us to the 72nd floor, where photographers and videographers were waiting. We answered the interview questions and in the end we were asked to take a couple of photos with a nice night cityscape on a background. For the last shots they asked us to look outside and then suddenly the lights turned off and on the skyscraper in front of us a saw sign saying “Marry me?”.

I was shocked, looked at Vova, he was staying on one knee holding amazing Tiffany ring. I was so excited that heard only “Will you be my wife?” and I replied “Of course!” through the tears. After that flowers, champagne and a huge bunch of balloons was bought. We went outside to make them fly on a river embankment, and that exact moment we released them, on the other side of the river I heard loud rumble of the fireworks! It was unbelievable and I was absolutely happy. 

We had chosen the best wedding planner, so had no doubt that our wedding will go great. The team of the professionals carefully selected and prepared every single detail. One of the most memorable moments of getting ready process was our pre-wedding video, for shooting it we went to Crimea, and showed to our guests for a first time during our wedding reception. I’s difficult to choose of favorite moments of the day, whole day was so unique! But probably the most memorable were ceremony and seeing all over families and friends together, being so happy and beautiful! If you’re just planning your special day, my recommendation for you would be to fully dive into this wonderful day, don’t lose a moment!

From Caramel..For the wedding of Alina and Vladimir we had a  floral fantasy with a hint of impressionism on the sea theme, waves, sky and the rays of the sun, coming through the clouds. Searching for modern forms and textures, we have stopped at the smooth wavy lines. The scale form of the art object for the ceremony zone was facilitated by a weightless translucent texture, with accents in the form of flower arrangements emphasizing the basic color palette. In the hall, we chose tables in the form of waves with laconic decor and modern floristics against the background of the view of the mountains as if it was illuminated by thin sunset stripes.

Moscow Wedding or Inspiration Shoot: You Tell Us!

It wasn’t until we read the description behind this wedding day that we fully comprehended that it is, in fact, real life. Let me repeat, this is not a styled shoot. Instead, you’ll find the most romantic Moscow affair inspired by all things art. From lush painterly blooms by Flowers Lovers, to a Bride crafting an art piece during her boudoir shoot and a day layered in the dreamiest hues planned by Ajur Wedding, these images by Julia Kaptelova will make you fall head over flower-lovin heels.

From the wedding planner, Ajur WeddingThis real wedding is pure inspiration. With each stroke of the brush, the details add to the already ideal picture: one of the most picturesque Moscow areas, the warm day in June, the tenderest and the most beautiful bridal portraits, the ceremony in the greenhouse, wallowing in flowers and sun rays…

Not by chance, we named this wedding “What is love painting?” We wanted to show how a real feeling can turn your life into a work of art. The romantic mood of painting was included in all aspects of the celebration.

The wedding day began with a beautiful picture created by our bride, coming alive with each stroke of her brush. You feel this marvelous atmosphere in Lena’s divine boudoir dress with the airy and almost weightless cape, in her soft curls and certainly happy smile. Add to that the way Daniel is looking at his bride, the peerless flora soaring in the air, the ornamental greenhouse design reflected in the glossy pedestal surface and extending in the chairs’ back design…

The combination of the floral romance paired with modern stylish geometric decor further revealed Lena and Daniels’s character: the bride’s femininity and tenderness alongside the groom’s determination. The flowers were meant to emulate clouds, soaring with their weightless grandeur. The silver, glossy rays of light, the reflection on the smooth surface became stylish accents. The menu and the invitations were decorated with the symbolic, picturesque image of the greenhouse where the ceremony took place.

This wedding design detailed the story of love — the art in, and of– love. Unforgettable at first sight. We hope you will also feel the inspiration and keep these memories in your heart.

When Wine’s the Inspo of the Day, You Know It’ll be Decadent

A fruit and wine themed wedding? Count me in! And this romantic Moscow celebration captured by Julia Kaptelova is just as decadent as you’d expect from its culinary inspiration, from the boudoir session and the Bride’s dramatic lace-trimmed veil, to the rich red palette and the tastefully incorporated monograms. Head to the gallery to see the whole event planned by Margarita Moskaleva, because this one, lovelies, is definitely drool-worthy.

From the Bride… We dreamed of a classic celebration – stylish and genteel with traditional family values and an emphasis on our story. Oleg and I are both from the south, so we love southern cuisine and wine, and August, which is when we got married, is the fruitage month. That is why we chose a southern fruit and wine theme for our decor. While we were creating the concept together with our wedding planners, we chose a bright room with light Provencal style outfitted in classic vintage furniture and kitchenware. In addition to that, we wanted our decorations to not just be a simple set of florals, but each have meaning and encompass our values and interests. One of the key elements of the concept became our monogram. It was used not only in prints and the seating plan, but also as the bespoke cake topper.

This Wedding Might Have the Best Invitations Ever

This wedding may just have won the award for best invitations! After finding out the Bride harbored a lifelong love of writing, 2 Apelsina encouraged Daria to write out her love story as a fairytale. They paired the novella with beautiful illustrations bound in velvet, then sent these charming books to all of the wedding guests. The rest of the wedding is just as swoon-worthy, so scroll on to see it all captured by Julia Kaptelova Photography.

From the Bride… In my childhood, I dreamt about becoming a writer, so our wedding planner encouraged me to write a short novel based on our love story. I did it, then we added some illustrations, and this book covered with velvet became a unique invitation! The venue reminded us of a real Middle Age castle, so we got a sense of the theme for our wedding – a modern fairytale. We were inspired by nature, forest landscapes, and fairytale pictures featuring beautiful royal receptions with their special atmosphere and precise details. The decoration team used lots of greenery, ivy, and roses to create and organic connection between our venue and nature.

The wedding day was absolutely stunning! During the preparation, it seemed to be so far off, but the time passed so quickly! Our ceremony is the best memory of this day – it was so emotional, touching, and beautiful. The florists embellished the stone arch with ivy and greenery, which looked like it was always there, it was so natural! Unique vintage chairs and crystal glasses gave a nod to the Middle Ages at the reception. We decided to share the same table with family to feel even more close. My grandma made presents for the guests – homemade jam, which was beautifully decorated with garden roses.

This is What a Billion-Dollar Wedding Looks Like

When the father of the groom is worth an estimated $6.2 billion (Russian oil baron Mikhail Gutseriev), it should come as no surprise that his son’s, Said Gutseriev, Moscow wedding to 20-year-old Russian heiress Khadija Uzhakhovs’s was a little over-the-top. But the show stopper wasn’t the elaborate floor-to-ceiling rose installation, the nine-tier cake or star-studded performances by Sting, Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez. No, it was the Bride’s fairytale beaded wedding dress from Elie Saab, rumored to have cost more than $1 million.  Get a look at the dress and more of the over-the-top details below!

I’m still not convinced this Moscow wedding, captured to perfection by Sonya Khegay, isn’t actually an inspiration session—it’s just that breathtaking. From the beautiful Bride’s gorgeous lace wedding dress and flawless hair and makeup to the pretty pastel color palette and stunning ceremony and reception spaces, this wedding is almost too good to be true. Do yourself a favor and see it all in The Vault now!

From Sonya KhegayIt was the last day of April and still very cold in the morning. The weather forecast wasn’t pleasing and no one expected that the sun would come out, but miracles happen and light rain gave way to the warm rays.

I love how all the details went together, you could feel the harmony in everything throughout the entire wedding day from the morning until the fireworks.

A gentle look of the bride, elegant but so airy and unique decor, the fresh and light atmosphere of early spring and, of course, true happiness in the eyes. My heart becomes so warm from these memories, it is always a pleasure to see the birth of a new family of two loving hearts.

From Anastasia BryukhanovaWhat could be more interesting for the wedding, “Two”? Only the wedding in a narrow circle of friends! That is the concept of shooting, where everything is very easy and fun. No, it is impossible to take your eyes from the elegant dress with open back. Chic image of a bride compliment cascade bouquet and a vintage engagement ring. Shooting took place in the architectural museum, with huge windows to the floor and bath. Shades of gray and blue, as well as delicate sprigs of greenery harmoniously fit into the space.

From Lena Eliseeva Photo… This cozy and warm summer wedding of gorgeous Natalia and Anton was in the middle of June. The young couple decided to organize their wedding themselves, and the day was very personal and touching. I am absolutely in love with rustic outdoor weddings, and this one is my favourite because of the free and easy atmosphere.

All the decor excluding the bride’s bouquet was made by a team of ten friends of the bride and groom.
And it was charming – a light and beautiful arch, eco-style polygraphy and succulents, candy-bar with caramel apples and berries – sweet joys of summer.

At the end of ceremony the guests tossed up white handkerchiefs embroidered by Natalia’s own hands.

The most touching moment was the happy eyes of the groom’s grandmother, the most estimable person on the wedding. And the fireworks were a bright end to that beautiful day.

From The Couple…The reason for the shooting was our love story , one year ago we met .. It was love at first sight! We spent a whole day together : a lot of laughing , walking and holding hands .. And exactly one year later decided to memorializing the day.

I guess everyone has their favorite spot, where you forget about everything, a place where time stops .. Pavlovsk Park – is our soul, we are in love with each meter of this magical place! We decided to take on the background of the colonnade of Apollo, which is the absolute perfection of the art …

Shades of gray haze, saturated blue and pale blue perfectly fit into the overall mood of our shooting. I really wanted to show the elegance, and at the same time, ordinary negligence, elegance and tenderness. Girls understand me perfectly and made our shoot stunningly delicate, harmonious and sophisticated ..

Colorful Lakeside Moscow Wedding

These photos from Lena Kozhina are so stunningly beautiful – as in you can’t help but stop and stare – it’s hard to believe it’s real life. But these pics are proof of this gorgeous Bride and her handsome Groom’s celebration at Moscow’s Fox Lodge, surrounded by vibrant colors and breathtaking blooms. Oh, and the idea of prepping for your Big Day outside in the sun? Brilliant. See more bright ideas right here!

From Lena KozhinaWhen we met with the couple for the first time, we immediately paid attention to Dima’s behavior towards Julia. There was a feeling of tenderness and awe, and we immediately wanted to recreate this atmosphere of love, care and warmth on their Big Day.

Later, when we had chosen a green meadow and an uncovered pavilion overlooking a lake as the project site, it only highlighted a light summer mood with colorful florals and a great number of natural woods. The name of the site is Fox Lodge and peach-orange color, as one of the Bride’s favorites, set the tone for the whole design – from the invitations, in which we used images of fox cubs to elements of serving guest tables and other decorative elements with the corresponding bright accents.

As for us, it was very important to preserve delicacy and elegance of the holiday, elegance of the design. We have achieved this by means of interesting, thoughtful details and, of course, touching and lovely images of couple. Even the color of lemonade, which can help guests to refresh themselves on this hot summer day, was chosen to match the entire decor. All this helped to keep a memory so special for the day, a celebration of their feelings, their gentle love for each other.

High Fashion Russian Wedding

I love a bride who can set the style bar high, and believe it or not, this particular beauty based her entire wedding design off a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show. Bursting with avant garde details and one amaaazing custom gown, I guarantee this wedding photographed by Lena Kozhina will go down as a day to remember.

From The Bride… Our story began four years ago. We lived in different cities, and didn’t know that our lives would change soon. One day Pavel saw Inna’s photo on the Internet and decided to find her by any means. He found her in St. Petersburg city, where, under the pretext of casting, he met her in a modeling agency.

More than six months passed before Paul decided to make the first step, and all this time I didn’t even know. Over time, he offered to move in Moscow. Moscow became the beginning of a new stage of our relationship, and after a year and a half we got married and had our son Dmitry Pavlovich. When Dmitry Pavlovich had reached the age of 3 months, we went to Petersburg. It was the usual weekend trip for getting away from it all and rest. But one of the evenings I had unexpected surprise – walking along the Griboedov Canal near the Church of the Spilled Blood, Pavel asked to stay for a moment and made me proposal to get married. It was so unexpected and beautiful. I felt delight, little short of shock!

Of course we spent unreal amount of time browsing more than one hundred magazines from all over the world. We listened to endless advice of friends; before we had primary vision of our wedding…it was very difficult to choose the right experts! One by one we set appointments with agencies/photographers/designers and each meeting made me feel stress and anxiety. At the same time I was watching the work of decorators, and found Julia Shakirova. The office of Julia met us with friendly atmosphere. I saw pretty girl with charming smile. Her name was Daria. I started talking and explained her that our wedding is not a standard one. Our wedding would be wedding ceremony and dinner, devoted to this event. I showed her one of the dresses that I liked, it was a dress with classic ivory color, with skirt like foam…I was absolutely in love with the dress from the spring fashion show Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda spring/summer 2014. The collection was luxurious and elegant.

The dress was so beautiful that I just couldn’t think about any other dresses… I knew that the price of it was unrealistic to buy, and it made me sad…At some point my sadness had reached its climax, and I decided that it can be copied and decided to sew it. Julia immediately picked up the idea of spring fashion show Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda, it was obvious that her mind was already painting a picture as it could be. She began to tell about her ideas, how we can make it and how beautiful would it be. I thought we could talk about it endlessly, surely this paved the way for the beginning of our most incredible, the most unpredictable result and risky concept of our celebration.

The second great idea of Julia’s was not just to decorate the room for bride preparation but to decor the bed’s frame with flowers and even to create something like boudoir. So our preparation was in full play…And I, in my turn, found a seamstress for my dress! I had to work hard in order to find the right shade of fabric. We visited several stores, and had to buy flowers from several stores in Moscow and even in China.

Finally, I found the work of Elena Kozhina. She made incredibly sweet photos, with lots of lovely details, the brides in her photos were like angels, and she was able to convey the feelings and the mood. I immediately agreed with her about the meeting and by the end of the meeting we had no doubt that Lena would be our photographer. We we’re so happy to have her capture our day!

Hot Air Balloon Inspiration Shoot

I think we can all agree that pink ombre is amazing.  But add that pink ombre to a whole host of beautiful details orchestrated by an all-star team of vendors, including Maria MunitsynaElena Koshkina and The Big Day Agency, and it’s more than amazing… it’s spectacular.  Think gorgeous fields, lush, romantic florals from First Flower and, of course, sky high balloons.  See it here

Rustic

From Nadya Kozlova of The Big Day Agency… This shoot has been inspired by the grandeur of the hot air balloons! They are massive, light and graceful at the same time. So we were trying to complement this centerpiece of our shoot with the worthful framework. That’s why we ended up with the classical style and pink ombre colour palette.

We can imagine that this couple escaped from the city to enjoy the last days of summer and to talk about love. The whole concept of the shoot was more of the love confession, so it starts with the handwritten love letter. The text of the letter is the poem of the most famous Russian poet – Alexander Pushkin, it is called The Confession and was written around 1824. This golden period of the Russian history echoes in the beautiful calligraphy, white paper and craft envelope, used in the letter.

The balloon basket is fully coated with peonies, garden roses of the dust-pink colour and hydrangeas! Before inflating the balloon we accidentally decided to cover the technical black handles with the lace, which turned into gorgeous canopy and added even more lightness.

Flower arrangements used in the shoot are as rich & solid as the balloon basket: both bride’s bouquet and table centerpiece are composed of 6 varieties of roses (Pink Piano Roses, David Ostin Keira, Patience & Juliet Roses, Pink O’Hara Roses, Roses Bombastic Spray) & huge number of other beautiful flowers. Classical ottoman and cocktail table with all of those nice details (silver chandeliers, champagne with cut-glass glasses, laces and velvet ribbons, perfect ruffled cake, lanterns) create coziness, even though we are in the middle of the field.

The couple’s style was also thought through. The lady is in the blush pink multilayer Monique Lhuillier wedding gown, finished with sequins. The young man is in his shirt sleeves and bow-tie undone.

The peak of the shoot is of course the balloon voyage. The sunset light steeps the balloon as it lifts and flies higher and higher.

The onshore scene is worth separate reference. The water lily pond is the best background and long delphinium stems compose sophisticated, though simple geometry.

Intimate Picnic Wedding

I’m fully convinced that there’s nothing cooler than a picnic wedding.  Seriously… nothing.  It’s that sort of laid-back meets totally elegant meets fun, family affair that is the perfect way to say I do, in any language.  Think natural, organic stylings crafted by Renata Timerbaeva, perfectly imperfect florals from Daria Dolengovskaya and a whole world of lovely captured by Alina Valitova.  See it all here.

Casual

From Renata TimerbaevaThe inspiration for this wedding was a connection with nature, simplicity and natural materials. We wanted to produce an easy and informal atmosphere of picnics and open-air parties.

From the Bride… For a long time I couldn’t understand what type of dress I needed. I searched all of the shops, and purchased and returned every dress. Desperate, I started to search the web and saw a dress I was completely in love with. I ordered it, and it arrived five days before wedding… but it wasn’t my size, so I found a seamstress who made it fit perfectly. There is different story about shoes – I think I tried them on for a week, then for what seemed like my whole life. I trusted everything about the flowers (circlet of flowers, bouquet and boutonniere for Vadim) to magic girl Daria Dolonogova. I didn’t know how everything should look and I just sent her photos of our clothes and explained the style of the wedding.

For our wedding, Daria changed her plans and came earlier from another city. After a sleepless night, she went to the flower base, chose the flowers and created a miracle that we kept in our flat for a week afterwards.

Elegant Skandinavia Country Club Wedding

Simply stated, this wedding is pure elegance and perfection. The getting-ready moments alone are worth their own little slice of time to devour. Anastasia Belik captured every single inch of this powder blue soiree in such a way that they are more than moments, they’re works of art. And they’re all sitting beautifully in this unparalleled gallery.

From the beautiful Bride…When we got engaged, we already knew we want to have wedding on the countryside. Our good friends recommended us ‘Oh Marriage!’ wedding planners, and we fully trusted them. First they found an awesome country club with Province style interiors for us. So all together we made a decision to do our dream wedding in this stylistics.

All the decor on our wedding – work of art from Peony studio. I was totally fascinated by Nastya Belik photography works. Everything – the color, the places, and surely decor! Immediately I realized I want her and only her to make pictures of our wedding – her works are so different from any other pictures of local photographers – Nastya works wonders!) As for the decor from Peony studio – everything is oh so beautiful and harmoniously, you just can’t take your eyes off! So I had no doubt they’ll create something brilliant for us!

I was really lucky to meet all those wonderful people – Katya from ‘Oh Marriage!’ wedding planners, girls from Peony studio – Lyuba and Nastya, – I just felt in love with them, and getting prepared to my own wedding was a great pleasure with their help! They were thinking over every single detail of the wedding and sometimes just in time dissuade me from my crazy ideas, so it helps to have the same style throughout the ceremony, and I’m very grateful to them!

We’ve chosen wedding color palette based on country club’s restaurant interiors. Light blue, ivory and beige – everything was created in these shades: from groom’s outfit to cupcakes in candy bar! The second wedding’s leitmotif was flowers of hydrangea in light blue and ivory colors. It was used in my awesome bride’s bouquet, in beautiful decor inside the restaurant and outside at the wedding ceremony area: arch’s decoration, flowers on bicycle’s basket, sweets in candy bar and much more! Also these flowers were used in polygraph – paper with light blue hydrangea print was pasted into crafted envelopes for invitations. The same hydrangea’s print was on seating plan, seating cards and so on.

Overall I think with decorators prom Peony studio help, awesome Nastya Belik pictures and “Oh Marriage!” wedding planners we’ve created the wedding of my dream – so tender end elegant, with a subtle hint of Province. I appreciate it a lot and want to say thank you one more time for dreams come true! For me it was just perfect!
