Winter Wedding Magic

Jenn — Mon, 01 May 2023 10:29:47 +0000

With crisp cool air, snowflakes falling, and an overall festive atmosphere, a winter wedding can be so magical. There are so many reasons to consider a winter wedding. If you’re still having doubts, here’s a winter wedding set that will surely make you say yes!

This styled shoot features a stunning winter wonderland venue: a rustic lodge that offers a warm and inviting atmosphere decorated with twinkling lights and a crackling fire. The idea of setting up the fireplace is a great way to keep not only the couple comfortable but also the family, friends, and guests.

Do you like offbeat wedding outfits? Winter weddings allow for the opportunity to wear unconventional wedding attire such as boots, denim, and a crochet shawl. Look how the model couple pulled off their OOTD!

The snowy landscapes and the beautiful winter light made for an impressive backdrop for the photos. The bride and groom took the chance for a romantic photo shoot in the snow – such a memorable and beautiful keepsake.

A Luxurious Promotional Winter Wedding

Jenn — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:00:29 +0000

“Reliving their own wedding day through this experience will forever be remembered and cherished!” This is how our couple for this promotional styled shoot for Kingston’s Steakhouse & Venue in Marion, Iowa, felt a year after their own wedding. Top vendors from Cedar Rapids and Iowa City collaborated to create an amazing experience that every bride and groom would want to incorporate into their wedding. The vision for this shoot was a winter wedding with the colors of blue, cream tones, and accents of gold to project a luxurious, one-of-a-kind event.

Kingston’s Steakhouse & Venue is a new spot and is looking forward to entertaining clients in the area with its excellent service and awesome venue.

The stunning look of velvet and the romantic look of taper candles were fused to make things look magical. Fresh florals were displayed everywhere complemented by a hint of fresh citrus fruits for a radiant pop of color.

The bride felt like an absolute queen with the exquisite diamonds she wore courtesy of Siebke Hoyt Jewelers.

The cake by Sugar Flower Cake Design was an elegant masterpiece. Its simple design with edible flowers was framed by a dramatic arch of styled balloons and floral for a visual focal point in the ballroom.

The first dance was a dream-like experience for the couple. It was a magical finale where fireworks lit up as the couple were caught in their intimate bond. Carter Photography captured this breathtaking scene. Would-be couples can take this inspiration and create this magical scene in their once-in-a-lifetime event.

A Luxurious Wedding by the Beach: A Dream Come True

Jenn — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 16:00:25 +0000

Today’s wedding feature is one that makes a statement. It is bold, extravagant, and definitely speaks of the love between Sharon and Anton. Their pictures are truly an eye candy, reflecting grace and elegance. The loving atmosphere surrounding the newlyweds is also evident. It was such a gorgeous sight to see guests laughing, dancing, and even crying for joy for the two of them. Quetzal Wedding Photo captured the event and we’re lucky to be able to see a sneak peek. Mind you guys, this one made us look twice!

Sharon and Anton had their dream come true when they celebrated a luxurious wedding at Hyatt Ziva Cancun. It was a beautiful beachside ceremony underneath a spectacularly gorgeous sky as the couple exchanged vows in the shade of a gorgeous white gazebo.

As the bride walked the aisle, backdropped by the blue waters, her beautiful dress by Nordstroms sparkled in the sun. The ceremony was emotional and very warm as the soft breeze blew the palms and the elaborate floral arrangements.

Nothing beats sunset portraits at a nearby lighthouse along a rocky landscape.

Finishing a few cocktails, they headed to a beautifully decorated ballroom by Eventos Euforia where flowers filled the venue! The brightly lit dance floor was ready for everyone to celebrate until the wee hours of the morning.

The couple was ecstatic as family and friends gathered to show love and support during this heart-warming celebration.

Bechara Sakhnini led the party by singing traditional songs and everyone participated in special dances and fun happenings throughout the night. It was a fun-packed event! A memory to last a lifetime!

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.

Aquamarine Inspired Styled Shoot

Jenn — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 04:02:42 +0000

We love how the team behind this aquamarine inspired styled shoot carefully decided on the details! Firstly, all the colors in this shoot were on point. The combination of blush, muted blue and gold touches provided a calm tone that pulled it all together. Meanwhile, for couples who love to have a grand entrance, the Larz Anderson House is a perfect choice. It’s a tangible element of elegance and is known for its amazing architecture. The floral arrangements from PETALOS DC were organic and definitely stood out. Having a beautiful head turned white horse on your wedding day would be a dream! Photographer Victoria Delgado of Tori Del Photography did a wonderful job capturing all the nitty-gritty and color in every frame, and we especially love the calm and peaceful feeling every photo evokes.

Elegant Persian Wedding

Jenn — Sat, 20 Feb 2021 14:00:16 +0000

Good morning, pretties! Today’s feature is a combination of traditional and modern luxury. Elham and Saman’s elegant Persian wedding at the iconic Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai was visually catching. The Sakura-like trees, in lieu of a wedding arch, definitely made a statement while the ceremony space lavishly complemented them. Florals galore at the reception too. Add the spectacular view of the sea and you have all that makes an exquisite wedding. Now, let’s take it from the bride herself, Elham, as she shares details of this special day below.

From The Bride

The proposal

We met in Switzerland and we were in a long-distance relationship, between Switzerland where I was studying, and Dubai, where Saman was living, for more than five years. It was hard and we missed each other a lot but we both knew it would be worth it. After I finished my studies I moved to Dubai, and Saman proposed to me on Valentine’s Day while we stayed at a resort.

The Wedding Venue

We wanted to get married in a location where we could hold our blessing ceremony outdoors with a view of the sea behind us, and later have our evening ceremony in an indoor ballroom that would feel quite unique. We visited many hotels in Dubai and finally decided to get married in the iconic Burj Al Arab.

The Wedding Theme

We wanted our wedding to be a mix of both Persian and Western traditions. While not everyone could make it on the day, our families are spread all around the world, from Iran to the USA, and in many countries in Europe including Switzerland, England, Germany and France.

Mad for Mauve Bridal Session

Car — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 08:29:20 +0000

Inspired by the dreamiest color tones of mauve, blush, creme, and gold, this whimsical editorial session was shot at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel Ballroom. The inspiration behind this editorial was to combine modern glam with a touch of romantic flair. With its classically beautiful crystal chandelier, the interior of the Waterfront Ballroom served as the perfect venue to bring our vision to life. Check out the rest of the details through this amazing set brought to us by L’Estelle Photography. Enjoy!

We’re All About the Details!

For the floral elements, seasonal foliage was handpicked to compliment the blooms including roses, spray roses, hydrangea, eryngium, eucalyptus, olive branches, and Limonium. Deckled handmade paper was used for the stationery suite, and the delicate calligraphy was paired perfectly with the understated typography. To create a romantic ambiance, the sweetheart setting was lit with candle lights, and we also added string lights to the backdrop, which bring out the soft and whimsical aspect of the blush canopy.Both bridal gowns the model wore are from the 2019 Pronovias Collection. The dress with the sweetheart table, was a spectacular princess dress, fitted at the natural waist, has a full skirt made with flowing organza ruffles that overlap in a cascade to give it greater volume. The skirt blended into a delicate long-sleeved bodice in lace and guipure, where flowers framed a suggestive closed illusion neckline that opens into an open back.

The gown with the flower backdrop was an evasé skirt, fitted at the natural waist, crafted in chiffon and soft tulle with beaded thread and Chantilly appliqués. A design overflowing with details and nuances intended to emphasize the femininity of the bride with its silhouette and light fabrics. The flowing skirt with layers of soft tulle and Chantilly panels blended with a bodice with a V-neckline and bias-cut chiffon trim that contrasts with the illusion back in crystal tulle with thread-embroidered floral appliqués. The bodice was complemented with a lining to minimize the sheer effects.For the desserts, both the donut bar and the cake station were featured with handcrafted paper flowers, as well as gold laser-cut signs. The donuts from the donut bar were the Wedding Specialty Donuts provided by Cartems, and were displayed on a crystal board, framed with handcrafted paper flowers and leaves.The wedding cake, decorated with delicately handcrafted sugar flowers, was displayed on pedestals in front of a large white circular backdrop. The flowers on the cake and the backdrop were created to harmonize with one another, with hydrangea, roses, and peonies. Not to mention that each flower petal on the cake is meticulously hand-painted to match the overall theme.

Thanks to Mango Weddings & Events for submitting these photos captured by Gareth Davies Wedding Photography that captured the perfect moments. Go ahead and keep scrolling!

We’re All About the Details!

On the morning of her big day, the blushing bride adorned a stunning red and gold two-piece Lehenga and intricate Indian jewelry. After a morning of prep, the groom came to pick up his wife to be, and the wedding party continued on to the soft sands of Nizuc beach for the picturesque ceremony. After the 126 guests were happily seated, the groom kept the tradition alive by entering on a bright red Mexican rickshaw to complete his Barat. Now that’s something you don’t see every day. A gentle breeze ruffled the brides jet black curls and the sea gently lapped against the shore as the couple declared their undying love for one another. Ramesh Malhan, the chosen Officiant, prepared a perfect Indian-fusion ceremony, complete with Mangalsutra, which left the father of the groom brimming with pride. After laughs had been shared and tears of joy had been shed, the wedding party retired to the sophisticated oceanfront A-Kan terrace to enjoy the panoramic ocean views for cocktail hour. The bride took advantage of this break to transform into her red carpet worthy white wedding dress and jewel-studded Christian Louboutin bridal shoes, adding the fusion into this Indian-fusion wedding. The loved-up couple chose the magical Sian Kaan Ballroom for their wedding reception, a breathtakingly beautiful hall with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lush Mayan jungle. Delicate blush and gold accents were strewn around the room, while blooming rose bouquets by Vanessa Jaimes and flickering white candles marked the center of each table. The look of awe on the guest’s faces as they entered this impressive ballroom was something we’ll never forget.As the bride, a vision in white and the handsome groom entered, the DJ began spinning on the decks and the celebration truly began. If there’s one thing these newlyweds know how to do, it’s throwing a party. Luckily, the Sian Kaan Ballroom had plenty of space to dance. As the bride and groom took to the floor, a glittering firework display shot up from the ground, providing the most magical backdrop to their first dance. From this moment on, the laughter, amazing dance moves, flowing champagne and cheeky tequila shots never stopped. After 8 months of careful planning, both the team at Mango Weddings & Events and the happy couple couldn’t have asked for a better Indian-fusion wedding.
