It’s Friday and we’re ending the week with this utterly stunning garden themed wedding! Katelynn and Avery decided to downsize their guestlist because of Covid-19. The bright side – they got to splurge on flowers. Featuring a huge floral peacock arrangement, this microwedding was a hit! What’s even more remarkable was the couple’s almost tangible love for each other. See, their photos can tell! Kudos to Lemon Drops Weddings & Events for carefully planning such an elegant wedding!

Love From Above: A Helipad Elopement

Jenn — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 10:00:37 +0000

As Covid19 settles into our new normal, protocols made it challenging for couples to book a venue. Many couples come up with unique choices of holding their celebration. As for Alyssa and Shane, a helipad featuring the incredible view of Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles is the right place. The beautiful weather, lovely sunset, and an elegant color palette (black, white, and touches of orange) made these two all set for a stunning helipad elopement. The look of the day was clean and sleek. In the photographer’s words below are some more details of this special event. But it was the bride’s wedding dress that I’m dying for! Truly, this was a day to remember for Alyssa and Shane. Check out all the fun and romance captured by Chris J. Evans Photography .

This stunning couple decided that they wanted to Elope on a helipad, with the most amazing view of the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles. Jillian Nicole Events pulled inspirations from different modern magazines to create a sleek and elegant look. Brubaker Floral Co. brought the luxury with a bundle of stunning flowers in black, white, and a touch of orange. Her floral design matched perfectly with the sunset ceremony. The motto for the evening was, “Love from Above”. Spilled Ink Calligraphy gave that touch of romance with her acrylic seating chart, written in gold lettering. The reception had a touch of elegance and class. Bright Event Rentals provided black plates and flatware, giving the table a luxurious look.

Magical Rose Garden Wedding

Car — Wed, 16 May 2018 14:54:56 +0000

Today’s wedding is a sweet, classy and romantic celebration! It was truly a day where two families came together in unity and love. Three16 Photography sent over these amazing wedding photos of Garret and Erica, and now that I’ve seen it, I’m on cloud nine! Everything about their reception is enchanting and in stunning detail. The backdrop was beautiful and serene surrounded by a meticulously landscaped rose garden. The exquisite wardrobe and delightful mix of subtle –hued pinks, light greens and white added a romantic and vintage tone to this already amazing showcase of class and elegance. My favorite though would have to be the floral arch which became the centerpiece of their gorgeous outdoor garden themed wedding. How romantic! (They add rustic touches too!) Scroll down to see more of Garret and Erica’s magical rose garden wedding. Enjoy!

We’re All About the Details!

Hair and Makeup

Erica’s beautiful hair and makeup were done by Flawless Faces. She wore her hair down with a simple, subtle curl and natural looking makeup with bold eyeliner. She chose silver and diamond jewelry, and white satin heels with diamond details.

Wardrobe

The lovely bride wore a vintage-style sweetheart-neckline lace gown from Blush Bridal Couture that was fit for the first lady. Garrett wore a slick, classic black suit from Friar Tux, paired with groomsmen styled in all black suits and accessories.

The Color Palette

With a mix of subtle-hued pinks, light green, and white, the bride’s bouquet added just a touch of color to the classic black and white color palette, tying in the pinks with the bridesmaid’s dresses. The bridesmaids all wore blush colored, mismatched dresses. The white, black, pink, and green color palette of the day set the tone for a classy, romantic and vintage wedding.

The Rose Garden Wedding

The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California is filled with rich history and stunning architectural details. The backdrop of the ceremony was the museum’s beautiful and serene reflecting pool- a model of Washington DC’s very own. The bride and groom stood in front of a beautifully decorated altar- a standalone structure covered in an abundance of pastel florals and greenery, created by the wonderful and talented Flower Allie. Guests sat in all white wooden chairs, watched the couple say their “I do”s surrounded by tall palm trees, and enjoyed the view of the First lady’s meticulously landscaped rose garden.

The Reception

After the stunning outdoor ceremony, guests flooded into a reception space like no other. The reception hall is the only existing replica of the White House East Room. With three enchanting crystal chandeliers, golden silk drapes, and marble fireplaces, there’s no doubt the guests all felt like they were truly dining and dancing in the presidential home.

DiJital Engagement created an amazing playlist to ensure that the dancing went on long into the night. The reception tables included additional gorgeous bouquets, gold charger plates, napkins perfectly folded to look like suit and ties, and golden chairs surrounding the tables which were set with pink silk tablecloths. Their three-tiered, detailed wedding cake was crafted by White House Catering. All the details of the day came together beautifully and were captured by Three16 Photography.

Take this Advice

Try to get a head start on planning. Book the important vendors as soon as possible and be sure to read reviews about the vendors you’re interested in. If that vendor has no reviews that should be a red flag and if they are a new business be prepared for the reality that they may be somewhat inexperienced. Trusting your vendor team is vital and it can have an impact on your photos. If you don’t trust your vendors to do their job, you’re going to be more stress than needed and it will show in your photographs no matter how good the photographer is. The reality is their is a huge benefit in investing in quality vendors as well as a wedding planner. The brides that seem to be the most stressed on the wedding day are usually the ones so focused on setting up their wedding and checking in on their vendors rather than just enjoying the day. ~Jerrick O’Connor/Photographer

It seems like brides are loving this color, and why wouldn’t they? It is spry, lively and eye-catching! Here’s another wedding that got into the regal scheme fever. David and Lindsay’s wedding was everything grand! Held at the Furman University Campus, South Carolina, the bride’s gown was full of exquisite detail and of course a big, beautiful skirt.

The Unplugged Wedding

Car — Fri, 12 May 2017 07:38:07 +0000

Today’s featured wedding will definitely add a special spark to your day! Matt and Nicole’s unplugged wedding in Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront, Florida was nothing short of elegant. An unplugged wedding is when you ask your family, friends and guest to turn off their phones, ipads, cameras and other digital distractions during the ceremony or reception. A great idea that allows everyone to soak in every detail that the event could offer. The bridal gown by Athena’s Bridal is totally stunning–the sleeveless bodice, flowing silhouette, and skirt design were simply eye-catching. Another thing I really liked was the color combination. I’m such a fan of weddings with deep, bold colors! Purple and gold works well together with the venue which is captured by Limelight Photography that definitely gives you the proof you’ll need. Ready to be inspired? Go ahead and enjoy!

We’re All About the Details

The Drape, flowers, cake, videography and of course, photography. Everything came together as it was envisioned. With all of these aspects combined, the room was transformed into a fairytale ballroom.

Take This Advice

It goes by fast, absorb it all in. Communication is key, communicate with your vendors, venue etc. Lastly, remember that only you (maybe your planner and parents) know what’s “supposed” to happen, if something small goes wrong, don’t dwell move on as most likely no one will notice. ~Nicole Corsetti/Bride

As Stunning As Ever

Junabelle — Sun, 20 Nov 2016 18:00:48 +0000

Love filled with fragrance and elegance covered Brittany and Daniel’s wedding at the Chevy Chase Country Club. Intimacy and freshness float in every way and have made everyone jumped in happiness heartily. We are very happy to feature to you this wonderful wedding and its exquisite parts. A lot of thanks to MAK Photography for all the lovely shots. Take time and enjoy every stunning moments readers!

Extra Special Details

The groom was in tears during the first look as he looked at his beautiful bride.

The outdoor ceremony was perfectly placed in the middle of a golf course.

The reception hall had been updated and could not have looked better.

The warm tones from the wood in the hall paired with the bright flowers made the room light up so beautifully!

Elegant floral arrangements left a beautiful fragrance in the reception hall with its pink and orange tones.

A live band, instead of a DJ in the wedding which kept the guests rocked and hit the dance floor.

They hand-addressed each invite with an RSVP envelope that is colorful.

The handkerchief carried by the groom during the ceremony in case tears will flow out during the ceremony.

Words From The Couple

“Do not try to buy a home, move in anytime close to your wedding date, wedding plan, and go on a honeymoon leaving the day after your wedding! The home / new living arrangements can wait – or come earlier (we just had bad timing), and the honeymoon can really wait! Give yourself at a couple weeks so you don’t have to be packing for the wedding day, the night of, the next day, and your entire honeymoon all at once! The weeks before your wedding, you have so many things to double check, details that still need decisions (seating chart, picking up grooms’ cake, playlist, walking order, day-of timelines for your attendants…) and you’ll also be trying to make time for all of your friends and family – it really gets crazy. Leave for your honeymoon at least a week after it’s all over! We went on a three week honeymoon to Europe, and it was amazing, but truly we could have done it another time. Making all the plans and trying to keep everything straight while wedding planning was exhausting. Also, after your wedding, you really do just need time to relax! -Make sure you get some time to yourself and just your groom either before or after the ceremony. You’ll be doing a million things on your wedding day, and it is tiring! Take at least half an hour to de-compress at some point during the day. My groom and I had a half hour of silence before the ceremony – I put my feet up and closed my eyes and it was so needed! -Drink a little! You really should be pacing yourself a lot during the day – its a long day! But honestly, after the ceremony’s over, the hard work is done! Let loose, don’t worry if you spend the right amount of time talking to your extended family or your co-workers, or if you get a little sweaty in your wedding dress, and have a few drinks :)”

Words From The Photographer

I love being a photographer. One of my biggest pieces of advice for wedding couples is to be sure to plan for enough time for photography. Don’t try to squeeze 12 hours of photography into 8 hours of time. When couples have too tight of a timeline, they can get stressed out with all of the events going on, and they can end up running behind. It’s your wedding day! There is no reason to be stressed out!

It’s okay to ask your photographer for help on your wedding day timeline. I love helping my couples with timelines. The reason I enjoy helping my couples with this is because I know how long it takes to photograph a bridal party and if I need to set up additional equipment. Couples may not know that I need to set up flashes for lighting at a particular venue. If you are not sure how long you need to plan for something, just ask! Remember to plan enough time, ask for help, and let the photographer photograph. You’re day will be that much more amazing and it will show in your wedding images!”
