The Bachelor’s Caila Quinn Burrello Shares Her Tips for Planning Your Dream Honeymoon!

Does planning your dream honeymoon sound more overwhelming than fun? Join the club. Lucky for us – Caila, from Ben Higgins’ season of The Bachelor, is here to share her tips for a stress-free honeymoon you’ll want to keep close. Take inspiration from her and her hubs’ Santorini escape, where they commemorated their newlywed chapter with a drop-dead gorgeous destination photoshoot, captured by Kostis Mouselimis. With cliffside views, volcanic beaches, and the island’s iconic white-washed buildings and blue domes, this mesmerizing island creates a magical setting to celebrate love and a new life together!

Where did you go for your honeymoon and how did you choose the destination(s)?

Travelers at heart, my husband and I booked a three-week-long honeymoon to Croatia and throughout Greece. We try to visit one new country a year as a couple and these bucket-list destinations had the ideal balance of romantic old city charm and breathtaking ocean views for us!

WEEK 1: We started our first week in Dubrovnik and spent our day’s hand and hand getting lost within its picturesque medieval limestone walls. After acclimating to the European time change & catching our breath after our 200 guest wedding, we were ready for adventure and headed to Athens for 5 days!

WEEK 2: Rich in culture, we loved staying in the heart of Athens with a view of the Acropolis from our balcony. Spending most days exploring by foot, Athens truly mesmerized us with its Greek pride and history. But the most impactful day in Athen was actually an excursion we booked outside of the city. Truly a bucket list item for us, we took a day trip to Meteora to see the monks that live in the sky. It still brings me to tears thinking about this honeymoon memory that imprinted on both of our hearts as a couple. You need to visit Meteora once in your life to see these mountain top monasteries! They will leave your soul in awe of their ability to live on a cliff overlooking the world, but never needing to be a part of it.

WEEK 3: Once we had our fill of history, my husband and I were ready to be romanced by the Greek islands! We spend our final 10 days in both Santorini and Mykonos. This is where we had the pleasure of meeting Konstantinos and capturing these breathtaking memories from our honeymoon to remember for decades to come!

While it may be fun at times, honeymoon planning can also be super stressful – any tips you’d be able to share for future newlyweds who don’t know where to begin?

I could not agree more, planning a honeymoon can be dreadful at times, especially while juggling planning a wedding! I would say, start by taking a deep breath. My biggest tip when planning a honeymoon would be to think about what kind of experience are you hoping to have? When you close your eyes, do you envision yourself… relaxing by the beach, adventuring in the jungle, restaurant hopping to try local foods, or romantically never leaving your hotel room? Let this be the seed of inspiration for your trip.

For Nick and I, we always envisioned our honeymoon being a jet-setting love affair with culture where we tried to check off as many bucket list items as we could. So from there, we wrote down some of our bucket list countries, and within those countries our bucket list activities. Croatia and Greece were the overlapping destinations calling us. And bucket list activities included: A Game of Thrones tour in Dubrovnik, Staying overnight in a Windmill on the cliffs Santorini, visiting the monks in the Meteora mountain-top monasteries near Athens, and lounging on the beaches of Mykonos with a local cocktail in hand. From there, the honeymoon kind of planned itself as we made these bucket list items the pillar days of our honeymoon with every travel day in between being relaxed & unplanned.

What were some of the most memorable moments from your trip?

One of the most memorable moments from our honeymoon was waking up in our own private windmill that we booked on Airbnb for 2 nights. Located on the cliffs of Santorini, our two-floor 200-year-old windmill faced the inner ocean crater with views of tip to toe of the entire island. The pink cloudy sunset sky lulled us to sleep as we relished in the romantic views with a full glass of wine in hand. It felt like it was only us in the world & heaven was under our feet – here, in the country of Greece. (All of the photos Konstantinos took are of this windmill and this feeling.)

Would you recommend booking a honeymoon session!? If so, what advice would you give to couples to get the most out of their shoot?

Yes, I would 100% recommend booking a honeymoon session when you travel. For us, we may never be able to visit Greece again, and what better way to frame our travels in our home than with professional photos of this dream destination. If you do book a session I would recommend only booking an hour and bringing 2 dresses/outfits. The benefit of booking a local photographer is they know the best locations & the best time to shoot for lighting, so you can make the most of your time. And if your partner isn’t convinced this is a good idea, tell them the shoot is a date activity that will be romantic. And if that doesn’t work bribe them with a special dinner after to make it worth their while, if you know what I mean.

Is there anything you would do differently if you could go back?

If I could do my honeymoon again, there is not a single thing I would change. Well… maybe one thing. I wish we were a little bit more organized with understanding the Covid Regulations of each country. We went on our honeymoon in June of 2021 and the regulations in Europe were changing on the daily, so I think having a document with a list of the Country Travel Forms we needed to fill out would have helped relieve a little travel stress. The only reason I say that is because we were stuck in Croatia an extra day on our way to Athens, Greece. The paperwork to enter Greece at the time was emailed to you 24 hours after you fill out their travel form. We thought we could fill out the form at the airport, which was our mistake. Not a big deal, but now we know for next time we travel in between countries in Europe.

English Garden Inspired Wedding Exuding Charm

This English garden-inspired wedding officially has us in the feels. With a classic ivory color palette made modern with hints of sage and blush, and incredible floral details at every turn by The Posh Posey it’s easy to see why. From the alfresco garden ceremony to the incredibly chic reception, Kristina Elyse planned a day that brought this couple’s Big Day dreams to life. You’ll fall in love with every image expertly captured in time by Liz Zimbelman, see the full day unfold in the full gallery.

From the bride… We met through mutual friends back in 2011 when we were in community college but neither of us made the first move. Fast forward to 2016, he was living in Colorado with his son and me in California. We reconnected via social media, had a long-distance relationship, and eventually, he asked me to move in with him. After two years of living together, he asked me to marry him. Our amazing wedding planner met with us to begin the process of a December 2020 wedding. We were so incredibly happy that we had Kristina Elyse, our wedding planner, in our corner and had hired her before the pandemic. When the world shut down she knew exactly what to do, almost as if this wasn’t her first time dealing with a worldwide pandemic! After we moved our date to summer 2021, she helped us redesign the entire wedding, from a winter wedding to a summer English garden-inspired wedding.

My mother is from England, and I grew up fascinated by Royal weddings: Grace Kelly, Princess Diana, Kate Middleton, Megan Markle. I knew that I wanted that traditional, royal, ethereal feel to our big day. It’s also what inspired my amazing Lily of the Valley bouquet. My florist actually made me two perfect bouquets; one for the photos and another for the ceremony! I knew I would wear ivory and I’d want my bridesmaids in ivory too (goes back to a very old tradition) so ivory was our main color. Ken wore a white jacket to contrast his groomsmen who wore traditional tuxedos. But to make it feel more ethereal and like you were in a summer English garden; we threw in hints of sage green and blush. Flowers are my love language, which is why I knew it would be our main decor/focus of our day. Our florist elevated the venue by hanging greenery from the chandeliers in the reception hall, flowers surrounding our cake table on the dance floor, and encompassing our sweetheart table with candles.

The heading on our seating chart was titled with our first dance song “Can’t Help falling in love” by Elvis Presley. The seating chart, menus, and invitations all included a wax seal. I opted for a beautiful sheath dress by Calla Blanche and added a customized overskirt for the ceremony. I added a 6-foot train with extra beading down the back for the skirt, then took it off for dancing and fun! After everything we had been through during the last two years of the pandemic, we could not thank our vendors enough for making this day so perfect and beautiful!

Sunshine Inspired Maui Wedding

Love radiates like the sun at this bright and beautiful Maui wedding. Ning and Zach worked with Taryn Stark Wyant Event Planning and Design to plan and design a day filled with a warm citrus color palette and an abundance of style. From the oceanfront ceremony arch to the alfresco reception, romantic blooms by Dellables help bring our couple’s love story to life. You can feel the joy shining through in the imagery by Dmitri & Sandra Photography, say ‘aloha’ to all the fun in the full gallery.

From Taryn Stark Wyant Event Planning and Design… Ning and Zach wanted an elegant and romantic oceanside Wedding on Maui. In choosing a private home on the Pacific, they were able to entertain their guests beneath hues of butter yellow and soft coral while hearing the waves crash along the shore. They wanted to honor their family traditions with both Chinese and Jewish nods, so they had their ceremony spoken partly in Mandarin and broke glass as is the Jewish tradition.

The most special part of their event surrounded the pre-wedding traffic, of all things! Just a couple of hours prior to the ceremony, there was a road blockage on the only road leading to the venue. While Ning had arrived early for pre-wedding photos, Zach was not scheduled to be there until shortly prior to the ceremony starting. Instead of leaving his beautiful bride-to-be waiting, Zach and his Dad hopped out of their rental car in the middle of the road and began the 2-mile trek to the wedding venue dressed in full suits in the warm Maui sunshine! They were honked at and applauded by other people waiting in the traffic, hopped a fence, journeyed through a cow pasture, and made it to the waiting Bride. Ning and Zach then enjoyed their first look, some pre-wedding cocktails, and some alone time prior to the rest of their guests arriving an hour late due to the blockade! If that doesn’t spell dedication, I don’t know what does!

From the couple… Ning is originally from Shanghai, China. She grew up just outside of the downtown area and came to the US at 21 for grad school. She went to Berkeley to study computer science for her PhD. After that, she moved to LA where she worked at Snap. Now she is an entrepreneur working on artificial intelligence. Zach is from the bay area and went to LA for College. He worked in a variety of business jobs in entertainment before eventually working for Google. We met online and had our first date at a coffee shop, Intelligentsia, in Venice CA. We’ve since recreated the date at least a few times each year! We always wanted a smaller fun wedding. From the beginning, we knew we wanted a destination wedding. We chose Maui as it’s our favorite Hawaiian island, and we really love it in Hawaii. It’s so relaxing, calm, and fun. We always have a great time, whether standup paddleboarding or just dunking in the water.

Elegance At Sudeley Castle In England

Sarah and Brandon’s English fairytale wedding was worth the wait! After overcoming obstacles of lockdowns, travel restrictions, and guest limitations- true love prevailed for a picture-perfect wedding day. The couple worked with The W Studio to bring their vision to life, and the result is an abundance of style and elegance. Blooms by Vervain Flowers in ethereal white and crisp green make us feel as if we’ve wandered into the most spectacular of English gardens, and Jacob & Pauline Photography & Films exquisitely captured every magical moment in their imagery. Visit the full gallery to fall in love.

From The W Studio… Exquisitely captured by photographer and filmmaker, Jacob & Pauline Photography & Films and designed, planned, and styled by The W Studio, this English Castle Fairy-tale Wedding of Sarah and Brandon was a day to be remembered for its style, elegance, and love in abundance. Sarah and Brandon waited a long time for their English fairy tale wedding! Lockdowns, wedding guest limitations, and UK/US travel restrictions all contributed to postponement, a lengthy lead-up and multiple changes of plan. But with the travel corridor opening in late July, we made the firm decision to push forward with their wedding plans, and they finally married in August last year. As Americans living in the UK, the vast majority of Sarah and Brandon’s guests were traveling from the US to share the celebration of their marriage, and they wanted to give them a truly memorable ‘English experience’. Sudeley Castle, nestled in the breathtakingly beautiful landscape of The Cotswolds, provided the perfect quintessentially English backdrop for such an experience. Including personal touches in their design was imperative to ensure their day was not only distinctive but a true reflection of their story as a couple. Of great significance was a beautiful sketch drawn by Sarah’s Father, of St Mary’s Chapel – not only the place where Sarah and Brandon would say their vows, but also the resting place of Queen Katherine Parr, the last wife (and widow) of King Henry VIII. This sketch was incorporated into their invitations and onto their guest’s individual menus by Stationery designer, Ash, from Pale Press London. Their ceremony, set within this incredible building, was all the more special to them as it was led by Hubert, their dear friend, and Father of Brandon’s late best friend.

Sarah was exquisite in her intricately laced gown, with bold red lips and makeup by Sylwia Kunysz Bridal Make Up, surrounded by her beautiful bridesmaids, wearing chic slip dresses in champagne gold and all carrying delicate bouquets of white summer flowers with trailing silk ribbons. Brandon and his groomsmen looked fittingly dapper, dressed in classic, chic black-tie dinner suits with contrasting white floral boutonnières. In keeping with their English vision, we designed their day with stylish simplicity and refined elegance. An abundance of greenery and bountiful blooms of white from Vervain Flowers, provided a fresh, summery English garden aesthetic. Subtle accents of soft, pastel grey/blue completed their color palette with flowing chiffon table runners, linen napkins from Just 4 Linen, tall Ester and Erik dinner candles, and touches of bespoke calligraphy on their menus and hung fabric welcome signs. A true English experience would not be complete without a rain shower or two and The Cotswolds did not disappoint! Although not entirely what was hoped for, a last-minute change of location for their drinks reception did not dampen the spirits of their guests. As Sarah and Brandon were chauffeured through the castle grounds in a beautiful, classic English Bentley from Barringtons, their guests were led from the chapel to the Grand Banqueting Hall by the Viola player from The Hills Quartet. The indoor reception soon became a hub of lively chatter and laughter as friends from around the world were reunited to embark on an incredible evening of love and celebration. An English sit-down wedding breakfast was served in the glass-walled Pavilion of the Castle by Relish, with tables built from historical reclaimed floorboards paired with modern Philip Stark Ghost chairs, both from The W Collection, and elegant tableware and flatware provided by Duchess & Butler. Bountiful floral meadows from Vervain Flowers, lined the center of the tables and table ends, whilst garlands of foliage climbed the walls and cascaded informally from the ceiling. The setting was brought to life by an abundance of romantic candlelight, with tall, tapered candles from Ester and Erik.

A trio of wedding cakes from Anna Lewis Cake Design, took pride of place, displayed upon clear, acrylic plinths and set against a pure white, candlelit backdrop and an abundance of low-level floral meadows. With intermittent dry spells, dramatic skies, and multiple rainbows, guests explored the grounds of this amazing venue and soaked up the all-English experience before dancing the night away to the sounds of The Blue Lion Band.

This Timeless Wedding Is the Epitome of ‘Understated Yet Elevated!’

Ashleigh and Jack’s intimate nuptials added a modern feel to a timeless wedding style! Events by Talissa blended classic wedding elements of soft blue hues and crystal glassware with contemporary details. Think streamlined flatware and minimalist tablescape accents. We can’t get over the beauty of Carla Kayes’ floral focus – lush white garden roses! These natural beauties were the perfect complement to the color palette and organic décor details. Catch a glimpse of this day in the full gallery by Dear Lovers and the heartfelt video by Black Shutter Media!

From Dear Lovers… Timeless with modern romantic elements – the perfect way to describe this wedding. When I initially met with Ashleigh and Jack, it was apparent they wanted an elegant but relaxed wedding surrounded by their loved ones and were really excited about the overall experience.

We went with a modern linen charger, streamlined flatware and added texture with cut crystal glassware & a linen hemstitch napkin for some softness. We tied it together with hand calligraphed name cards on vellum atop a beautiful menu.

White garden roses on both the tables and growing in the surrounding gardens leant to a organic and natural feel, as if the florals had just been hand picked from the venue.

The motto was: understated by elevated. A beautiful August day in San Diego with the loveliest family and couple. They were relaxed and happy throughout the day and it was truly a stunning and beautiful wedding.

Banks and Leaf planned a day filled with personalized touches, like including the bride’s grandmother’s 1940s saddle in the seating chart display! Floral designs by Floriography filled the day with crisp greenery and lush blooms for designs that delighted. Every incredible moment was impeccably captured in the imagery by Rachel Havel, you can see each and every dreamy detail in the full gallery.

From Rachel Havel… The wedding of Lauren and Ben took place in the bride’s hometown of Santa Fe, New Mexico. While Santa Fe can draw a lot of southwest inspiration, it was important for the couple that their wedding reflect their classic and laid-back style.

Hints of blue were brought into the crisp white and green palette. Personalized illustrations reflecting the bride and groom were added to the invitations such as skis, chili peppers, and swim goggles.

The ranch they chose for their venue was the perfect location that offered a lot of space to create different experiences for guests to mingle and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Kissed With Love and Limoncello, An Intimate Positano Elopement

With a kiss of warm hues and vibrant citrus accents, Federica Beni turned “lemons into limoncello” for Misoo and Charles’ Positano elopement at the cliffside Villa Treville. Malafronte Fiori’s florals emulated the Amalfi Coast sunshine and added a burst of color against the venue’s crisp backdrop and panoramic coastal views. This intimate elopement was infused with oh-so-sweet touches – like the exquisite hand-illustrated invitations by Debbie Wong Design. Immerse yourself in this marriage of luxe Italian style and true amore in the full gallery, captured by Lace & Luce, and the video, filmed by Luigi De Gregorio.

From the bride… As we said in our vows, “This day was not exactly what we had in mind when we started planning two years ago for our 2021 wedding”… but our Positano elopement was absolutely perfect and unforgettable nonetheless!

We got engaged in Santorini, and we’ve traveled to Europe together every year since we started dating. So while we were disappointed to have had to postpone our big wedding closer to home, planning a destination elopement in Europe still felt very “us.” Especially after all the COVID-related disappointments from the past year, we really wanted to “pivot” and plan something special and romantic, just for us. Not to mention, we literally could not think of a more perfect place to “turn lemons into limoncello” than the Amalfi Coast!

Planning a destination elopement was admittedly a little nerve racking at first, especially after having postponed another wedding. Once we found our photographer and wedding planner though, the rest of the pieces seemed to fall so easily and naturally into place. We loved each and every vendor who was part of our day, and everyone was so kind and supportive throughout the whole process (not to mention incredibly talented).

We exchanged vows in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places that we have ever seen. From tearing up as our ceremony musicians played Zeffirelli’s “Romeo and Juliet” theme song against the backdrop of his former home, to our boat ride during which so many people on passing boats loudly cheered and clapped for us, to dining under our stunning lemon-covered ceiling while watching the sun set over Positano… this day was full of so many incredible memories that we will treasure forever.

From the planner Federica Beni… It was not an easy season for lovers who had planned their special day for months and months. The uncertainty pushed many of them to postpone their celebration (for the first time and in many cases even twice) but the idea of having to wait further 12 months for living such a special emotion has not been an easy one to cope with.
Italy was Charles and Misoo’s destination for their honeymoon this past September, following their Canadian wedding which was unfortunately postponed to 2022. Why give up the idea of having a romantic Italian tour and to taste the romance of a special love celebration for just the two of them?

This adorable couple opted for a beautiful and emotional elopement in Positano, in one of the most exclusive venues of the Amalfi Coast, Villa Treville, once owned by the famous movie director Zeffirelli. When couples contact me to explore the options they have to elope in our beautiful country of Italy, finding the perfect solution is not so easy as it may seem, because the venue they like might be too big to be rented only for two people and at the same time they don’t have a secluded and intimate area where to have a small private celebration and dinner to follow. I found them the perfect option with Villa Treville, a cliffside estate, from where you can enjoy a spectacular and captivating view on Positano, private and super luxury accommodations, each one with a private outdoor area, which was the perfect solution to celebrate in style.

A Romantic Garden Party Dripping With Details

This Texas wedding turns on the charm! Brimming with warm hues, romantic blooms, and a luxe lounge setup- you can’t help but fall for this perfect fall day planned by Bird Dog Wedding. Clementine Botanical Art created relaxed elegance with stylish floral installations at every turn, and every dreamy detail was artfully captured in the imagery by Courtney Leigh Photography. See all the beauty unfold in the full gallery.

From Courtney Leigh Photography… This stunning wedding was dripping in details and warm inviting hues on the most beautiful day of the year in Texas. Knowing they would have a larger guest count, the couple still wanted their day to feel like a romantic garden party while maintaining a relaxed, elegant feel.

The color palette and textures included ivory, butter, dried grass, goldenrod, pale peach, blush, rose, and leafy greens; perfect for an outdoor, fall wedding.

Lounge furniture sprinkled throughout the reception created an inviting setting for the guests to mingle and sip signature cocktails on the lawn and dine under the stars.

A Romantic Summer Wedding at the Pinterest-Viral Abbey of Saint Galgano

You’ve probably seen this venue many times before during your late night, endless Pinterest scrolling sessions – but may have never known exactly where it was! The Abbey of Saint Galgano is a breathtaking Gothic style church from the 13th-century, situated in the beautiful province of Siena region in Tuscany. Flowersliving brought the couple’s dreams to reality… dressed in a pastel palette, overflowing with heavenly blooms, and blanketed by rows of twinkle lights. Trust us, you’re going to want to spend some extra time on today’s full gallery captured by Facibeni Fotografia.

From Flowersliving… A romantic yet modern destination wedding in Tuscany in the most beautiful church nearby Siena.
San Galgano Abbey is a breathtaking venue and the colors of the flowers really complement the beauty and the uniqueness of the church.

Sara & Marcello from Emilia Romagna Region decided to tie the knot in the beautiful Tuscany looking for the perfect rural countryside but choosing a romantic and elegant colors palette of light pinks and dusty blues.

After the civil ceremony at the abbey they decided to celebrate in the beautiful maremma area surrounded by cypress and olive trees.

The aperitive at the sunset overlooking the tuscan hills was a magic moment for all the guests who enjoyed the tuscan breeze and the dreamy view. A tripude of candles to lighten up the dinner area as a frame to celebrate the newlyweds.

A Boston Public Library Wedding With A Charming Candle Covered Staircase

Welcome to modern romance in the heart of Boston. Haley and Justin created a day as special as their love, working with Urban Soiree to bring their unique story to life. Inspired by the architecture of the Boston Public Library, they created magical moments like a wildly romantic candle-lined staircase and a 12-foot-tall greenery escort wall to sweep guests off their feet. Fabulous flowers by Beach Plum Floral in blush and white fill the day and Jenny Moloney Photography artfully captures every dreamy detail in her imagery. Visit the full gallery to watch the whole day unfold.

From Jenny Moloney Photography… Haley and Justin are a case of when a friend’s setup turns out to be “the one.” A mutual friend planned for the two to meet at Justin’s annual fundraiser for his Boston marathon. The connection was instant, a moment the two will never forget, and they went on their first date shortly after. On a summer night in July, Justin and Haley walked down the steps of their Marlborough Street apartment to head to dinner. Justin started talking about how Back Bay and Marlborough Street represented the start of their story as a couple, with so many meaningful moments together. He then got down on one knee and proposed where it all began. Haley, of course, said yes, and as another surprise, he took her for a private helicopter tour of the city skyline. The special night ended with a celebration dinner with their entire families to toast their engagement.

When they started planning their wedding, the first thing they knew was that they wanted to get married at the Boston Public Library. Haley fell in love with the romance of the breathtaking Library courtyard, and Justin, an avid history fan, loved that the building held historical significance in Boston as the oldest library in the country, dating back to 1848. They wanted to create a feeling of modern romance blended with the ambiance of the heart of the city of Boston.

They kept things timeless, taking inspiration from the architecture, with whimsical touches like the romantic candle dotted staircase. Their courtyard ceremony was family-focused, with Haley’s brother officiating and readings done by her mother and Justin’s father. The 12-foot-tall greenery escort wall was a favorite detail, with each guest’s name handwritten on acrylic. Their first dance to their band’s rendition on Leon Bridge’s “Beyond” was magical, with them both feeling like they were the only two people in the room.

Cross Cultural Micro-Wedding Honoring Family and Heritage

This intimate affair has officially stolen our hearts. With special ceremonies honoring both the bride and groom’s cultures and the inclusion of their adorable pup, Bev and Jordan’s special day proves that love really is in the details. Naomi Bennett Design brought the couple’s vision to the life in a beautiful color palette of soft blue, blush, and white. Organic floral arrangements by Kenia Z Florals are wildly romantic popping up in artful installations throughout the day. The love and elegance of the event was beautifully captured in the imagery by Alison Brynn Photography, see it all in the full gallery.

From Naomi Bennett Design…From the very first moment with Bev and Jordan, they wanted their wedding day to be highly intentional, thoughtful, and loving towards their families. They wanted a wedding that would be in full celebration of their love but also ensure that everyone in attendance had a beautiful and wonderful experience! The majority of their family as well as Bev and Jordan were from out of state so SoCal became the beautiful destination location for the wedding experience that Naomi dreamed up and designed for them. This exquisite wedding day was about honoring family and the special way that we got to do this was by including their very different cultures and backgrounds. To celebrate Bev’s Chinese culture and background, we included a lovely tea ceremony that invited both families to partake in and learn the tradition and beautiful meaning. As a way to honor Jordan’s German roots, they opted to have a unique German beer unity that combines beer with coke. There is nothing more beautiful than seeing two beautiful cultures and families blending together in a celebration of love!

From the bride… When we began planning our wedding, our driving point was finding vendors who shared our vision and who we connected with. Out of all the things that came out of our wedding, our favorite aspect would have to be having all of our family members with us to celebrate. With what has been going on in the world, our wedding day was really a big leap of going somewhere exciting for everyone. We went into wedding planning not knowing what was going to happen a year down the line and we are so blessed to have had a pocket in June where everything was normal and we were all at ease. That was the beauty of having just immediate family at our wedding. While it wasn’t an easy decision, we know that we made the right choice with the love and support of our family and friends. We wanted to honor our cultures blending together with intention. We decided to do a Chinese tea ceremony and beer unity. With our tea ceremony, it allowed Jordan’s family to get a glimpse of my family’s culture as far as weddings go. This is something that I have participated in growing up as a child. For me, to have such a symbolic ceremony at our wedding was a way to honor my parents and ancestors. With our beer unity, this was something suggested by our officiant. Jordan has German roots and he loves to look back on our 2019 trip to Munich. It was fitting to honor something he loves and is a part of his culture. Our families are spread out across all over and having these components in our wedding allowed our families to blend together as one.

My one piece of advice for engaged couples who are planning their wedding is to trust your vendors. These are the people who pour their heart and soul into their craft and want the very best for you. With the details from paper goods, florals, photography, and designing, they know what they’re doing and what works. At the end of the day, there’s a human being behind that business, and who knows, they just may become your lifelong friends!

Stylish San Antonio Wedding Filled With Bright Bursts Of Color

Looking to make your big day pop? This San Antonio wedding has all the bright and beautiful inspiration you need. Filled with blooming bougainvillea and the prettiest patterns throughout the day, Sweet August Events brought our bride’s vision to life in the most stylish of ways. Freesia Designs and Events filled the event with chic and colorful flowers to energize the space, and Caroline Lima Photography perfectly captured the love and joy of the day in her elegant imagery. You’ll love every daring detail featured in the full gallery.

From the bride… I met my husband in Virginia and most of his family and friends are from the Mid-Atlantic area. I knew I wanted to show off San Antonio and embrace the culture I had grown up around. I am so inspired by San Miguel and seeing other weddings in that area, and knew there were so many parallels to San Antonio it would be a great combination! The riverwalk is a huge draw for San Antonio, and I was familiar with the venue of Southwest School of Art. The old mission look with all the stone and dark woods really embraced the San Miguel feeling and reaffirmed my vision.

With the darker/neutral setting, I knew I wanted bright colors. I LOVE color. The main focal points revolve around the bougainvillea arch, and the blue and white Taleveras seen throughout Mexico. I talked about my vision with Katherine, and she immediately embraced it and hit the nail on the head when creating my vision boards. She had a picture of a bougainvillea type arch and I immediately fell in love and knew I wanted that to be a focal point.

All of our vendors were amazing at bringing their own touches and tying in my personal style and the feel I wanted to create. I was pretty hands-off with the bridesmaids’ dresses and it worked out perfectly! I told them a warm, floral print dress they were comfortable in and it was perfect. I already knew the “theme” and vision I was going for when I went dress shopping. I loved the combination of the classic silhouette, with a fun, textured, movement-like pattern. The laser cute lace reminded me of papel picado and that sold the dress for me. As much as I loved my wedding dress, I knew I would want to be more comfortable to dance around to Taylor Swift. I stumbled upon the two-piece Alexis set and fell in love with the blue embroidery. I actually think I bought the set before my wedding dress- it was too perfect with the Mexican theme and Talavera tile to pass up.

An Airy Summer Wedding at Château de Tourreau in Provence

A knockout Monique Lhuillier gown, a blooming ceremony, and a bespoke reception structure in the chateau gardens you have to see to believe – these are just a few tidbits you can expect to fall for in today’s wedding planned by White Eden Weddings. Oh, European summers… how we miss you so. Lucky for us, Julia Kaptelova Photography was there to capture every last detail so that we can live vicariously through the full gallery.

From White Eden Weddings… We are extremely excited and thrilled to share with you one of our all time favorite destination weddings in Provence. Eva & Loic’s wedding took place last summer at the gorgeous Château de Tourreau and was an infusion of fashion, details, emotions and special moments.

The bride wore three gowns, including a majestic Monique Lhuillier one for the ceremony and had the most French look for their Provençal inspired rehearsal dinner.

Guests had dinner under a bespoke decor structure, which was the main focus in terms of design, enhancing the most thoughtful, romantic and refined reception which took place in the French gardens of the Château’s park.

Eva & Loic made their entrance to dinner in a vintage Triumph car, setting the tone of a fun, timeless and unique celebration that lasted until 4am.

A Magical Maui Wedding Filled With Moving Moments

Say aloha to the destination wedding of your dreams. For this oceanfront Maui wedding, guest comfort and letting love shine was at the top of the to-do list for the planning team of A Dream Wedding Maui. The beauty of the location was only rivaled by the lush white florals designed by Fernhouse Flowers Maui. From the simplistically stunning ceremony to the smiles on the couple’s faces, every moment was beautifully captured by MeewMeew Studios. Visit the full gallery for a stylish trip to Hawaii.

From the bride… We met in a small hospital in New York. Where we instantly meshed and quickly became each other’s person. He’s a doctor and she’s a nurse, but more importantly we love adventuring traveling eating and laughing with one another. The proposal was at our favorite New Jersey restaurant, an elegant spot with live music, on the Hudson overlooking the Manhattan skyline shortly before we moved from New York to California. We have a deep love for the ocean and nature and wanted that to be a focal point of our wedding. He is not religious and has always considered the ocean as his temple. We wanted our guests comfortable, The women in flowing dresses. The man in slacks, loafers and tieless. Over the last two years many of our friends who have been getting married have had repeat delays because of COVID, with mounting stress and perpetuatal angst with wedding planning hanging over their heads – we were not going to fall victim to this. We enjoyed our engagement without any pressure to plan a wedding long in advance, which suits our spontaneous nature. Being in the health field we were really paying attention to COVID case counts and when we started to see it dropping we realized we had a window… we set the countdown timer for 2 Months to plan everything. At this point not having had all our family together in two years, we knew we all needed to get away, have a vacation and decompress. As surfers and having never been to Hawaii, we knew we had a destination wedding to plan, the rest is history.

Having to plan this wedding in two months I was happy to find my dress at a bridal shop in San Diego. I fell in love with it at first sight. The beaded details, off the shoulder straps, and the simplicity of it all. I knew I wanted to dance so didn’t want a dress that was too heavy. I also couldn’t believe how fitting the dress was on me. Traditionally the bride doesn’t show her outfit until wedding day. We decided that could go both ways. The groom went with a custom fit suit, from Suit Supply in San Francisco, tailoring everything down to the last seam and button with the light blue exterior and a pink accenting interior. He also had her new, married name embroidered in his suit jacket. For the florals we used a cream palette, accenting the white dress. He is the youngest of 5 boys. His mom has collected various pieces over the years, and intends on gifting each of his brothers a unique piece on their wedding days and in doing so, creating heirlooms. His mom studied French and has collected a lovely vintage ring box from France. Although I’m a Native Brooklynkye, I have Haitian heritage and speak Creole… making the French connection to the piece a natural one. We wanted our ceremony to be classic and simple. A Wooden arch and chairs for the foreground. We recognized that we wouldn’t have to do much for the background allowing Maui’s natural beauty to speak for itself.

We’ve always been a couple that goes out and can dance for hours and historically have had the most fun at weddings where people were dancing all night, so it was really important for us to achieve this in our wedding. In these strange times, having had one week of vacation with all of our family and friends was priceless. We’d like to share with other couples planning their day that always choose each other first. Recognize the time is flying, slow things down and enjoy the moments, in the blink of an eye the wedding will be over and you’ll be saying goodbye to your guests.

10 Bridesmaid Dresses That Are Flattering on Every Body Type

Incredibly Chic Chinoiserie Inspired Wedding Overflowing With Flowers

Our hearts swoon for a chinoiserie-inspired wedding! Dainty details, eye-catching patterns, and personalized touches make this wedding day planned and designed by Kate & Co Events one that’s not to be missed. Watercolors from the save the date to the seating chart wow, and floral installations by Jackson Durham are nothing short of sensational. From the ceremony arch, to the floral table runner, to a floral chandelier hanging above the dance floor every inch of this wedding is lush and luxe. Clary Pfeiffer Photography captured all the dreamy details of the day in a way that only she can, get ready for endless amounts of inspiration in the full gallery. Trust us, you don’t want to miss it!

From the bride… Despite running in similar circles in high school, we did not meet until after high school graduation when our best friends, who had been dating for a couple of years, introduced us to one another. We had an immediate connection, and a few weeks later we began dating—just a couple of months before we were set to go to colleges 1,300 miles apart. A long-distance relationship is never easy, but we were lucky to have the warmth and support of our families and friends who strengthened our relationship through those four years. After college, we were finally together again in the same state. A little less than a year later, Jake proposed on no other than Star Wars Day, May 4th. We were immediately thrilled to plan a wedding with our families. We envisioned an event filled with laughter, joy, and beauty that would bring together all the people who strengthened and supported our relationship over the years. Our original plan of a large celebration with our friends and family shifted when the pandemic hit in 2020. We decided to get married in an intimate family ceremony on our original date of June 20, 2020, while postponing our large celebration to May 29, 2021, which just so happened to also be Jake’s birthday. Looking back, we wouldn’t have done it any other way. There was something so special about being married surrounded only by our immediate family, and we could not wait to renew our vows and celebrate with all our friends and family 11 months later. By the time May 2021 rolled around we had been married for almost a year and were closer than ever, which, to us, was a bigger accomplishment to celebrate than tying the knot in the first place. The extra year of planning had allowed us to think hard about what we wanted our ceremony and reception to look and feel like, and how to make it a memorable event for those attending, many of whom we hadn’t seen in over a year. The unpredictable St. Louis weather supplied us with a beautifully sunny 60-degree day, which perfectly complemented the soft pastel tones and bright smiles of the day.

As soon as we were engaged, I knew that I wanted to work with Kate & Co Events to design our special day in our hometown of St. Louis. I had been swooning over their weddings on Instagram for a couple of years, and we felt an immediate connection with Jill Perez and Kimmy Klipsch in the initial interview. Jill and Kimmy exceeded all our expectations in helping us achieve our vision, supported us and provided a sense of calmness through our shifting plans in the pandemic, and became our close friends throughout the process and even now. Jill and Kimmy helped us find the most amazing vendors for our day. The entire design of the day was a collaborative act between Kate & Co Events, Jackson Durham, Cheree Berry Paper, and my mom and me. We had so much fun planning out every single detail of our fairytale day. One of the first things I did while planning the wedding was finding my dress. We went to Stanley Korshak in Dallas, and the Anne Barge Berkeley Gown was the very first dress I tried on. As soon as I put it on, I immediately loved the elegant simplicity of the gown, the ruching in the bodice, and the off-the-shoulder detail. When I first tried it on, both my mom and dad cried and although I tried on a few more dresses, we all knew it was the one. On the day of the wedding, I wore my grandma’s sapphire ring as my something blue. She was able to watch our first ceremony via Zoom in 2020 but passed away before our celebration the following May. She was very special to me, and wearing her ring made me feel as if she was there smiling with us. Growing up, I always had a love for florals. Both my mom and grandmother were avid gardeners, so I was always surrounded by flowers. My favorite time of year was when my mom’s peony bushes bloomed, and she would fill our house with beautiful pink and white peonies. Because of this, I always knew that I wanted my bouquet and the bridesmaids’ bouquet to consist entirely of peonies. My bouquet contained all soft pink peonies, while the bridesmaids’ bouquets contained all white peonies. This love of florals played a large role in the design of the entire day, and I am forever grateful to Jackson Durham for creating such beautiful works of art with their florals. The invitation suite was one of my favorite parts of the design process and paved the way for many of the other paper details seen throughout the day. When selecting china for my registry, I was inspired by the blue tones and dainty details in the Herend Fortuna Blue and Herend Blue Garden designs. The butterflies and florals from these china patterns, as well as my love for chinoiserie and watercolors, helped Cheree Berry Paper design my invitation suite. The linen backer, platinum foil, soft tones, and embossed text beautifully combined colors and textures to create a final product that made all of my blue and white dreams come true. Our ceremony and reception took place at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, Missouri. We knew we wanted to get married on the golf course for both the beautiful scenery and to pay homage to Jake’s love of golf. During the two years between our engagement and our May 29th ceremony, Jake and I both experienced the loss of several loved ones who played large roles in our lives. We wanted to recognize them during our ceremony and did so through the rose petal aisle. This petal-filled aisle represented the footsteps of those who had walked before us. One of the most memorable moments of the day was when Jake’s mom, Julie, officiated our second ceremony and stood underneath the beautiful floral arch with us. Her words and presence personalized the ceremony in a way that no one else could. After exchanging our vows, we recessed down the rose petal aisle behind a bagpiper. The bagpiper was my dad’s idea and was another way we honored our loved ones – as the bagpiper reminded us of my grandfather. While the color scheme of the reception consisted of mainly blue and white with pops of soft pink florals, the ceremony saw some brighter tones and mainly consisted of pinks and whites. The brighter colors looked gorgeous with the bright greens on the golf course and the bright blue of the St. Louis sky. I gasped when I first saw Jackson Durham’s beautiful floral arch decorated with pink and white hydrangeas, roses, and peonies.

We wanted the cocktail hour to hint at what design elements were to come during dinner and dancing, stay cohesive with some design elements they had already seen in the invitation suite, and to also share a bit of our favorite things with our guests. The escort wall had the same image as our Save the Date — a watercolor painting of the first hole of the golf course at Bellerive. We decided to add a little butterfly detail from the invitation suite to the corner of this image and played with golf vocabulary with “Please find your seat on the dinner course” written on the escort bar. We decorated the cocktail tables with chinoiserie vases filled with light pink peonies. We also had a margarita bar with his and hers margaritas – spicy and skinny – to share with our guests our love of Mexican food and to pay homage to our time spent together in Dallas and Spain. We even had little umbrellas for the margaritas that had the same pattern as the envelope liner from our invitation suite. I loved the cocktail napkins that Cheree Berry Paper designed – “It’s been quite the siesta…Time for a little fiesta!” After all the time spent apart from one another, we were all excited to reunite and celebrate love and being with friends and family once again. This energy was definitely felt during cocktail hour and for the rest of the night. Walking into the dining room and tent for the first time, we were all overcome with so much joy and gratitude. Every detail was perfect, and we were so thankful for each one of our vendors’ hard work in making our vision come true. In the dining room, we decorated the tables with white and soft pink orchids, peonies, hydrangeas, roses, amaryllis, and stocks. The head table featured an elevated overhead runner of these florals with antique chinoiserie vases below filled with some of the most unique and beautiful orchids and ranunculus flowers I had ever seen. The florals, soft candlelight, light blue patterned tablecloth, watercolor butterfly details, and the use of our china that inspired the entire design created an absolutely stunning and romantic atmosphere down to every little personal detail. The two other long tables featured a floral runner that beautifully cascaded onto the floor. Finally, the round tables were decorated with white textured tablecloths, large chinoiserie floral vases, light blue tapered candles, and light blue patterned napkins that matched the tablecloths of the long tables. The cake was a delicious vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting decorated with peonies, garden roses, and roses cascading down the side of the cake. It was just as delicious as it was beautiful. Designing the tent with Kate & Co Events and Jackson Durham was one of my favorite parts of the design process. Like the invitation suite, the tent made all of my blue and white dreams come true. Some of my favorite design elements we included in the tent were the beautiful pale blue banquettes, Gracie chinoiserie panels that I would love to have in my own home one day, and two white treillage bars with pale blue inserts. However, the focal point of the tent, the gorgeous floral ring hanging above the center of the dance floor, was my favorite part of the tent. Dancing under this ring with Jake, my dad, and all our friends and family is a memory I will cherish forever. Another favorite detail that we had in the tent was cocktail napkins with a watercolor painting of our Mini Aussie, Obi, that said “Obi says it’s time to pawty.” Obi was featured in our vows and in many of our friends and family’s speeches, so having him show up again during dancing, if even on a little napkin, just felt right. My dad was very involved in the wedding planning process and wanted to be included in all of the big decisions of the day. With this, came several exciting “dad surprises.” One of these was the glittering firework show after our first dance. My dad was born on the Fourth of July, so he has an innate love of fireworks that he shared with all of us growing up and on this day. Watching these fireworks surrounded by our friends and family made our hearts boom and feel as large and as full as the fireworks. After dancing the night away and enjoying some late-night snacks of our favorite guilty pleasures – pizza and French fries – it was time for the night to come to an end. We sang happy birthday to Jake and then exited to the cheers of our friends and families tossing the same rose petals from our ceremony. We went off into the night in a vintage Rolls Royce, the same car that my parents exited in on their wedding day. There was a long time between our engagement and our big celebration, with an intimate ceremony in between, but Clary Pfeiffer Photography was there with us through it all. She finds beauty in all of life’s moments and her photographs elicit a type of softness and elegance that make you feel the love that was felt in those moments. Looking through her photographs is like reliving and re-feeling all the emotions of our two favorite days. Clary and Travis are truly wonderful people, and we are beyond grateful for them both.

11 Spring Wedding Guest Dress Trends with Rent the Runway

With over 2.6 MILLION predicted weddings gracing our calendars this season, the year 2022 has officially been dubbed the year of weddings. It seems like anyone and everyone is getting married and as your mailbox is flooding with invite after invite, your wallet is starting to protest. You might think you only have two options — break the bank or become a dreaded “outfit repeaterrer” — but our friends at Rent the Runway are the key to a budget-friendly way to do trend-forward designer clothes without sacrificing your retirement fund!

By either utilizing their one-time rental service (and rentals start at $30 so that’s a no-brainer) or signing up for all the perks of membership (free returns, dry cleaning, and a free backup size is always included, just to name a few) you can now afford to be wildly fashion-forward at all of these upcoming weddings.

So without further ado, keep an eye out for these eleven trends as you pick out your wedding guest outfits!

The Puff Sleeve

One of our favorite trends we’ve seen make a strong, steady presence is the puff sleeve. It’s chic, it elevates any look and it’s also secretly super flattering. This pink puffed sleeve option is an adorable way to participate in the trends and look good doing it.

Tasteful Cutouts

It’s the perfect classy with a little bit of sassy vibe that is a token of being “with the trends.” A chic dress with a cutout a way to take an average year-over-year trend, and add a little spice to it. This particular version is one of our favorites, but the whole Rent the Runway site is full of stylish options!

A Dopamine Dress

“Dopamine Dressing” is one of the top trends on Pinterest right now and the whole idea is about dressing in a way that boosts your mood, and nothing does that better than a bright, bold yellow color! Coming off of a season of neutral colors, some people find it hard to commit to colors so rooted in the “trend” category, but that is the beauty of *ahem* renting the runway — participate in the trends without fully committing your closet (or budget) to one specific style.

Simple Silhouettes

If there’s one style that you can never go wrong with — it’s a figure accentuating, simple silhouette. Bonus points if it comes in a flattering color! But the best versions of this style are made in fabrics that can cost a pretty penny, so enjoy the luxury and the extra cash in your wallet by opting to rent a version this wedding season.

Big Floral Patterns

The ditsy floral had its moment, and bigger, bolder patterns are making their way into the scene. We’re seeing a lot of big patterns AND big colors, but if you’re on the fence you can never go wrong with a pretty blush base and a classic brand like Kate Spade (for a fraction of the cost, we might add.)

Embroidered Pattern

Nothing screams painstaking attention to detail quite like embroidery work in our minds. It’s the kind of luxurious detail that speaks to a craftsman makeover mass production, and while that type of detail usually costs a pretty penny, the rented version makes your wedding guest ensemble seem super intentionally thought-out without dishing out too much cash.

Mad for Plaid

The plaid pattern is one of those details that takes its time to rotate in and out of prominence, but the thing is it almost ALWAYS returns. It’s a classic, it’s a way to juj up simple styles and it always makes a statement.

Royal Seal of Approval

If you’ve got Royal taste with a commoners budget, welcome to the club. Any royal family stepping out for a public event immediately sets a trend, but if you can find the EXACT DRESS Kate Middleton wore for a fraction of the price, it’s a no-brainer win for any wedding, any time.

Twist On a Slip Dress

Slip dresses are going to be EVERYWHERE this wedding season, so if you want to stand out opt for a patterned version! Same flattering silhouette, same effortless yet chic vibe — but you run less of a risk of accidentally matching another wedding guest or (heaven forbid) a bridesmaid!

THE Pink

Once Valentino dominated the stage with a fresh take on fuchsia, there was no going back. What was once referred to as Elle Woods signature color will now be gracing the wedding sphere in a few different ways — but the first place we’ll see the color make an appearance is on the guest list.

Delicate Flutter Sleeve

Sister to the puff sleeve, this delicate version is best utilized in warm climates and outdoor venues. The flutter sleeve is a way to stay stylish and chic in even the harshest wedding environments, and with as many weddings are there are this year you’re bound to attend a few warmer temperature soirées.

Staying stylish, on budget, and on-trend is historically a tricky balance, but getting a little street-savvy and exploring your options, you’ll quickly find that Rent the Runway is one of the absolute best solutions to keep you feeling ultra-confident at every.single.event you attend this historical year of weddings — especially when you get 30% off your first order — which we got you the hookup for :)

Sophisticated And Chic Sage Green Wedding

Looking for the next romantic neutral? Your search has ended with sage green. Plume Events used this refreshing hue as the perfect way to add an organic and natural touch to Olivia and Santiago’s special day. Filled with fabulous personalized details and a bevy of beautiful blooms, you’re sure to love every sensational image shot by Madeline Trent Photography. Visit the full gallery to get inspired by the color of the moment.

From Madeline Trent Photography… The beautiful fall colors surrounding Old Edwards Inn And Spa set the scene for Olivia and Santiago’s weekend wedding in Highlands, North Carolina. Over a multi-day celebration, beginning with a welcome dinner party at The Bridge, wedding guests enjoyed an intimate and relaxing atmosphere.

Amy Pardue of Plume Events created a stunning display of florals and foliage throughout the ceremony and reception, bringing in autumn tones and textures to set the mood. Amy choose a warm color palette to tie in the landscape, complete with dark green velvet linens from Latavola Linen, and soft tapered candles. Olivia chose blush-colored heels, using the iconic Prada label for her “something blue”. She looked stunning throughout the day thanks to Latia Curtis Fine Art Beauty.

The couple hand-made favors themselves of leather keychains and organic teas for their guests to take home. The day was filled with tear-filled moments and joyous celebration as two families joined together. The couple ended the day with a mix of DJ and live music by Hip and Hitched, and danced the night away with their guests before leaving for their honeymoon.
