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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
This Chinese Wedding in Mexico Brought Pastel Bridgerton Vibes to the Shores of Cancún
A traditional Chinese tea ceremony, a beachside welcome party, and a pastel garden reception inspired by Bridgerton gave Alyssa and Austin’s wedding weekend plenty of range. More than 100 guests traveled to Cancún, where the couple turned their Chinese wedding in Mexico into several days of family traditions, good food, and a party that rarely slowed down. The destination format came partly from Alyssa’s older sister’s wedding. After seeing how several days together gave guests […]
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 […]
