Brittany’s family lives in the United States. Moha’s lives in Jordan. Their parents had never met in person, so when the couple began planning a destination wedding, they searched for somewhere that could bring everyone together. Morocco became their meeting point. Their Moroccan desert wedding weekend began with a Katb el Kitab in the Agafay Desert, where guests ate tagine, danced under the stars, and watched a fire show with the Atlas Mountains in the […]

High School Sweethearts Created an Unforgettable Experience at Luna Escondida in San Miguel de Allende
A hand-painted dance floor, a surprise saxophonist, custom slippers for late-night dancing, and a welcome party complete with mariachi, churros, and maracas were all part of Alexandra and Luke’s wedding weekend in San Miguel de Allende. With many guests traveling for the occasion, the couple planned beyond the wedding day, giving everyone time to eat, dance, and explore a city they wanted to share with the people closest to them. Their wedding at Luna Escondida […]
A 250-Year-Old French Château Found on Airbnb Made the Most Magical Elopement Backdrop
Ashley and Remy found their wedding venue the same way some find a place to stay on vacation: on Airbnb. Except their rental was a blush pink, 250-year-old château in the South of France, complete with sprawling lawns, olive trees, a wisteria-covered pergola, weathered stone walls, and a pool. They booked the château for three nights and brought in little more than a picnic blanket and flowers they picked up in nearby Fréjus. Their French […]
Wisteria and Moss Frame This Romantic Springtime Florida Garden Wedding
Hanging wisteria stretched above the dance floor, moss cascaded from the oak trees above the ceremony, and lavender, blue, and green flowers filled gold vases throughout Sydonie Mansion. Kylie and Logan built their Florida garden wedding around a venue that already had much of what they were looking for, then spent the better part of a year adding their own details. That included far more than a few pieces of signage. Kylie embroidered handkerchiefs for […]
Handmade, Homegrown, and Undeterred by a Storm: A Quiraing Isle of Skye Elopement
A major storm had knocked out power across much of the Scottish Highlands. Fallen trees and power lines had closed every road to the Isle of Skye, and when Lou and McKay asked for advice on making the trip, the response was fairly straightforward: “Don’t go, don’t even try.” They went anyway. After eventually reaching Skye and enduring another night of heavy rain, they woke on the morning of their Quiraing elopement to blue skies. […]
A Daytime Barcelona Wedding Where Argentine and Nigerian Culture Met Mediterranean Magic
Valentina and Bola’s daytime Barcelona wedding started under the midday sun and moved through the gardens with live music, a champagne tower, plenty of color, and 170 guests, including 80 who had traveled from around the world. Argentina, Nigeria, and the couple’s life in Spain all found their way into the day. Valentina’s brother officiated, her mother painted pieces used throughout the ceremony and reception, and their one-year-old son, Enzo Oyedunni, was there for it […]
Inside Leanne Ansar’s French-American Wedding at a Hidden Gothic Abbey in Burgundy
A five-meter veil, a centuries-old Gothic abbey, and a late-night speakeasy serving burgers and fries aren’t the most obvious combination. For Léanne Ansar and Louis Terme, though, the combination made sense. Their wedding brought together Léanne’s love of French history with the years she spent living in the United States. They chose a secluded abbey in Burgundy, kept the florals understated, and worked with local vendors to showcase the region’s food and craftsmanship. But there […]
This Queer Two-Day Mexico City Wedding Blended Pakistani Tradition and Mexican Culture Beautifully
Furhan Shah and Ben Fortuin’s wedding took place over two days and two very different Mexico City venues. The first brought Pakistani wedding traditions, colorful clothing, a dhol player, speeches, and dancing to the gardens of Museo Casa de la Bola. The next moved to Ex-Convento de San Hipólito, where black-and-white attire, dramatic lighting, a non-denominational ceremony, and a packed dance floor changed the look entirely. Junebug vendor Alex Krotkov was there for both days […]
Sicilian Summer Wedding at Villa Mon Repos With Mount Etna as the Backdrop
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 […]
