Lena and Koen had always pictured getting married in Italy. Then they visited Chateau Neercanne in the Netherlands and found a little street winding through the property, multiple spaces that could take guests through each part of the day, and, most unexpectedly, marl caves built into the hillside. They viewed exactly one venue and booked it. Inside the caves, candlelight flickered against rough stone walls while videos from their lives played before the ceremony. Later, […]

Wildflowers, Whimsy, and Queer Joy at This Cecil Green Park House Garden Wedding
Kenzie and Blair originally pictured getting married somewhere tucked away into a forest or on a picturesque mountain. Then they had to account for more than half of their guests flying in.

A Colorful, Sunset-Toned Destination Wedding at Hard Rock Los Cabos
Bright sunset colors, ocean views, mariachi music, and more than 100 guests made Sarah and Eric’s destination wedding unmistakably Cabo. Against the clean, modern spaces of Hard Rock Los Cabos, they added vibrant florals, natural rattan, and warm textures, with the Sea of Cortez framing it all. The celebration stretched across several days, with a welcome cocktail and dinner before the wedding and a yacht outing afterward. After seeing Junebug vendor LUXE Destination Weddings plan […]
A Vibrant Moroccan Wedding Weekend That Brought Two Families Together for the First Time
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.

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 […]
A Vibrant Citrus Color Palette at This Etéreo Kanai Riviera Maya Wedding
Marisa and Wilson wanted their guests’ trip to Mexico to feel like a vacation. That meant a Friday night taco menu, custom maracas, plenty of margaritas, and a wedding day filled with oranges, reds, yellows, and pinks. At their Etéreo Kanai celebration in Riviera Maya, those colors appeared across the florals, stationery, and bridesmaid dresses. Mexico made sense for another reason. Marisa and Wilson fell in love partly through traveling, cooking, and exploring together, and […]
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. […]
