Wedding Ideas: Real Weddings
Real Weddings- Cari and Stephen
Cari and Stephen live in Chicago, but they planned a destination wedding in Southern California to give their friends and family a taste of the Pacific Coast. Their wedding was held at the Montage – Laguna Beach, a stunning oceanfront resort and spa (and one of our new Southern California member businesses)! The grounds at Montage are beautiful all on their own so Cari and Stephen chose a spring color palette of celery green and […]
Real Weddings- Theresa and Dan
Today’s Real Wedding is a beauty! Theresa and Dan are a truly lovely and stylish couple and their wedding day was filled with fun for their family and friends and thousands of beautiful moments that were all spectacularly captured by the talented Amelia Lyon Photography. Using a pink and black color palette for their early June wedding, they sweetened up the look of their already fantastic reception location, the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba Linda, California. Theresa and Dan were […]
Real Weddings- Kasey and Nick
This beautiful Real Wedding, of Kasey and Nick, is one we gave you a quick peek of back in October. It got picked up by our colleagues at Inside Weddings magazine on the same day, so in order to keep things simple we decided to postpone posting it for a while and allow Kasey, Nick and all the incredibly talented professionals involved an opportunity to have their hard work showcased in multiple ways. We love […]
Real Weddings- Ritu and Rishi
Today’s Real Wedding couple is so beautiful, and their traditional Indian wedding was so full of richly colored details and meaningful traditions I just can’t stop looking at all the photos. What a delight! Ritu and Rishi were married in July in a traditional Hindu wedding that was made up of a number of joyus celebrations over multiple days. First off was the Mehndi party where Ritu was surrounded by the women she loves and […]
Real Weddings- Janna and Charles
Today’s Real Wedding is amazingly sweet and simple, yet it radiates personal style. (It also makes me crave the warmth and joy of summer in a huge and wonderful way!) I love it! Janna and Charles were married on a spectacular sunny day last September at the K Vintners winery in Walla Walla, Washington. Janna works as the national sales director for K Vintners and although the winery normally doesn’t host events, a special exception […]
Real Weddings- Lisa and Chris
Lisa and Chris’s sunny August wedding on the Kirkland, Washington waterfront was a fun and sentimental day filled with personality and Lisa’s fabulous personal style! After a romantic proposal in Paris, inspired by Lisa’s favorite movie “Something’s Got To Give”, a Parisian theme and a black, white and fuchsia color palette was chosen for the wedding. The letterpress invitations were created by Tara Bliven of Ephemera Custom Letterpress, and included a gorgeous lined envelope and […]
Real Weddings- Stephanie and Ulises
Today’s Real Wedding comes directly from Stephanie, one of our Junebug readers and the Wedding Bee blogger extraordinaire, Miss Hydrangea! Stephanie and Ulises were married last September in Dallas, Texas in a seriously stylish celebration! For their wedding color palette they chose black and white, and accented it with touches of blue, like Stephanie’s gorgeous royal blue Christina Louboutins (love!) and the embroidery on her lacy handkerchief. The men in the wedding party all wore […]
Real Weddings- Selome and Abiy
Today’s Real Wedding of Selome and Abiy comes to us from John and Joseph Photography, and is so full of life, love, excitement and community I could hardly narrow the photos down! This gorgeous couple met through mutual friends in Addis Ababa on New Year’s Eve 2004, and soon after that Selome knew that Abiy was the one! Their goal was to plan a wedding that included their huge groups of friends and family, and […]
Real Weddings- Heather and Chris
Today’s Real Wedding is an absolute feast for the eyes! Heather and Chris are a fascinating and full of life couple, who besides being gorgeous themselves, hosted a gorgeous Indian inspired wedding celebration late last August that was absolutely bursting with personality. It was photographed by Stephanie Cristalli and is a pure delight to see! Just after Heather and Chris returned from a life changing 3 week trip to India, they saw a Hermes ad […]
