Dana describes her elegant California wedding to Michael as sparkly, but nothing is as sparkly as the smiles on their faces! While I love all the gorgeous decor planned by La Fete Weddings, and the amazingly lush centerpieces of hydrangea, tulips, and orchids by Cody Floral, it's those smiles that really get me. I can't even look at the gorgeous photos from Stephanie Hogue without getting a huge grin on my own face.

Idyllic Swedish Countryside Wedding – Hanna and Tyler
The gorgeous countryside, beautiful seaside views, and historic buildings of Hanna and Tyler's wedding just outside Stockholm, Sweden have me feeling idyllic, relaxed, and wishing for a plane ticket! Beautifully captured by Ariel Renae Photography, the stunning images highlight all of the romantic, touching moments between the couple as they celebrated their love in this stunning setting.
Stylish Viceroy Miami Wedding – Soul Echo Studios – Natalie and Shephathiah
Soul Echo Studio's striking images perfectly captured the sweet moments, romantic fashion, stylish venue, and gorgeous color palette of Natalie and Shephathiah's stylish Miami wedding day. The happy couple was absolutely glowing, and their happiness just jumps off the screen! (Speaking of jumping...check out their amazing skydiving proposal!)
Classically Beautiful Wedding at the University Club of Chicago – Meredith and James
With a classic ivory, black, navy and spring green wedding color palette, the grand backdrop of the University Club of Chicago, and the timeless images of photographer David Wittig, couple Meredith and James went elegant all the way with their September wedding! Gorgeous!
Glamorous Armenian Wedding at Vibiana, LA – Duke Images – Anais and Arsen
Anais and Arsen's wedding day was all about celebration, love, and family; but it also happened to be filled with romantic details, glamorous decor, and the prettiest soft pink color palette that I adore! Mix in the AH-mazing Vibiana in L.A. and stunning photos by Duke Images, and you've got a wedding I'm totally in love with!
Rustic Cream and Ivory Wedding in Corfu, Greece – Kristal and Makis
I feel so lucky every time we get to look inside a wedding that took place outside the US - there is just something so powerful about seeing the different cultural traditions and local details being experienced in weddings around the world. Kristal and Makis' rustic Greece wedding in Corfu is the perfect example. It included a traditional Greek Orthodox ceremony, and style inspired by the island's olive groves and green landscape.
Candlelit New York Wedding at The Harold Pratt House – Lara and David
Now this is a NYC wedding! From the photos of elegant couple Lara and David out enjoying their beloved New York, to the traditional ceremony and candlelit reception at the amazing Harold Pratt House, this wedding was suffused with a classic city style I adore!
Glamorous Downtown LA Wedding at Cicada Restaurant – Callaway Gable – Dena and Gerard
Dena and Gerard's chic LA wedding is an all-out tribute to glamour and fun! The ultra-stylized Art-Deco Cicada Restaurant was the perfect home for their fun-loving celebration, and photographers Allie and Brian from Callaway Gable Photography captured Dena and Gerard's equally spirited personalities perfectly!
Glamorous Alexis Hotel Seattle Wedding – Kristen and Jason
Kristen and Jason's wedding day look was a gorgeous blend of Old Hollywood glamor, an elegant venue, and a romantic color palette, but it was the sweet, meaningful moments that really stood out for the couple. They wisely built in time on their wedding day to spend with just each other, and even revisited some spots that had been home to some big events in their relationship. We think another one of their best decisions was hiring the talented (and fun!) Barbie Hull to photograph their day, because her gorgeous images perfectly captured the day's spirit.
English Country Estate Wedding at Stapleford Park – Jacquie and Patrick
We're wrapping up London week here on What Junebug Loves with the English country wedding of Jacquie and Patrick, at the ever-so-grand Stapleford Park. From Jacquie's vintage inspired Jenny Packham wedding dress to the artistic photos that photographer Crash Taylor captured of this sweet family, I can't think of a lovelier way to end our British celebration!
