Alex and Jack’s wedding in Taormina came with aperitivo in the garden, Sicilian food stations, plenty of limoncello, and views stretching from Isola Bella to Mount Etna. Later, dinner gave way to something much less formal: hours of karaoke, with guests choosing their own songs and passing the microphone around well into the night. That mix was exactly what the couple had in mind for their Villa Mon Repos wedding. With friends and family traveling […]

This Couple Returned to Milos, Greece to Get Married Where Their Love Story Began
Giovanni and Nastasia exchanged vows on the white volcanic rock of Sarakiniko, wandered through a fishing village for portraits, stopped for sunset drinks in Plaka, and ended the night around a candlelit table set directly on the beach. Their Milos, Greece elopement moved through the island rather than staying in one place, with each stop showing a different side of the destination they had first fallen in love with while dating. Milos entered the couple’s […]
Bird of Paradise Led The Tropical Floral Design in this Arcadia Events Tulum Destination Wedding
Bird of paradise, pink anthuriums, tropical greenery, and fruit brought color into a setting that Kylee and Benjamin otherwise left largely untouched. Stone structures divided Arcadia Events Tulum into different spaces for the ceremony and reception, while candles and string lights added soft lighting as evening arrived. The inspiration for the setting came from a trip Kylee and Benjamin took early in their relationship. A few months after they started dating, they traveled to Costa […]
A Maroon Bells Ceremony and Snowmass Reception: A Quintessentially Colorado Mountain Wedding
Selena and Kris got the mountain ceremony they had traveled to Colorado for, but they didn’t trade away the parts of a traditional wedding they cared about to get it. Forty guests joined them at Maroon Bells Amphitheatre before everyone headed back to Top of the Village in Snowmass, where the intimate reception turned into a full-on party and, eventually, a group jump into the pool. Junebug vendor Maye.Be Take A Photo, was there for […]
Classic Charleston Charm in This Admiral’s House Wedding
Belle and Owen filled their Charleston wedding with the kind of details guests could actually interact with: couches and coffee tables arranged like a living room, family wedding photos spanning generations, a band-led music line from ceremony to reception, and plenty of food for a crowd that had traveled to celebrate with them. Even a Southern tradition that didn’t quite go according to plan became part of the story when the couple tried, unsuccessfully, to […]
A Last-Minute Pivot Led to A Magical Waterfall Elopement at Nauyaca Falls in Costa Rica
Ashlyn and Jarrod had spent months planning a destination wedding when they made a fairly major change of plans: they scrapped it and decided to elope instead. The new plan was much simpler. Head somewhere tropical, find a waterfall, and make the day entirely their own. That search led them to Costa Rica and a Nauyaca Waterfall elopement, where they exchanged personal vows beside the park’s two-tiered falls with matching Dr. Martens on their feet. […]
This Snug Harbor Wedding Gave NYC Guests a Tuscan Garden Escape Without the Flight
Quinn and Jack wanted to get out of New York City without asking everyone they loved to actually leave it. They found their answer on Staten Island, where historic architecture and sprawling gardens gave their Snug Harbor wedding the breezy, old-world atmosphere they had been picturing, just 45 minutes from Midtown. They planned the celebration themselves, down to the invitations, programs, menus, and place cards. Guests arrived to champagne before a ceremony filled with cheering […]
A Minimalist, Modern Black-Tie Wedding at Martin Johnson House in La Jolla
With just 36 guests, an all-white color palette, and a black-tie dress code, Kaitline and Aaron kept their La Jolla wedding intentionally intimate. A few statement pieces shaped the celebration, including couches for the ceremony, modern reception chairs, and a custom 10-foot-tall stage that transformed from a string quartet setup into a photo wall as the day unfolded. They also reconsidered how weddings were typically laid out at Martin Johnson House, putting dinner on the […]
A Seattle Ferry Boat Wedding Where the Couple Surprised Guests With a Sea Kayak Getaway
There were guests dancing before dinner to a favorite local band, kayakers watching the ceremony from the water, and, just when everyone thought the evening had settled into a reception, the newlyweds climbed into sea kayaks in full wedding attire and paddled around the boat. That surprise alone would have made this ferry boat wedding memorable, but it was only one part of a weekend designed to introduce friends and family to the Seattle Whitaker […]
Custom Attire from Beginning to End in this Multicultural Oklahoma Wedding
Guests watched Marie disappear from the reception more than once that evening, each time returning in something entirely different. She started the day in a sculptural Mikado wedding gown, later changed into a beaded reception dress made for dancing, then into a Vietnamese áo dài before ending the night in a Korean hanbok alongside Joseph. Every outfit had been custom made, and every change marked another part of the celebration. That thread carried through the […]
