Inside Leanne Ansar’s French-American Wedding at a Hidden Gothic Abbey in Burgundy

September 21, 2026 | justine

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 […]

Sicilian Summer Wedding at Villa Mon Repos With Mount Etna as the Backdrop

September 17, 2026 | justine

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 […]

A Dreamy Draped Ceremony Backdrop Anchors This Sage, Ivory, and Blush Wedding Editorial

September 15, 2026 | justine

A large draped ceremony backdrop, cascading white tulips, and layers of sage velvet turned Villa Vienna into the setting for this European-inspired wedding editorial. Junebug vendor Teardrop Wedding Events approached the design with a clear idea: a wedding doesn’t need decor everywhere to make an impact. Instead, the team focused on scale, texture, lighting, and a few standout installations, allowing each element to make a statement. The color palette stayed soft and earthy, mixing sage […]

This Willowdale Estate Wedding Is a Love Letter to Timeless New England Elegance

September 11, 2026 | justine

Jackie and Trent’s Willowdale Estate wedding paired classic New England style with plenty of personal details. White florals, greenery, and candlelight complemented the estate’s historic stone architecture, while a handmade “Please Be Seeded” seating chart, wildflower seed favors, custom playing cards, and matching Christian Louboutin shoes added touches that were distinctly theirs. The setting also made sense for a couple whose story began in Boston. Trent had moved there from Virginia just a month before […]

Lush Beachside Ceremony by Day, Sophisticated Candlelit Reception by Night at Villa Ananda in Phuket

September 7, 2026 | justine

Ammy and Duke’s Phuket wedding moved from a ceremony between coconut palms and the sea to dinner under crystal chandeliers and hundreds of candles. A white aisle ran through loose arrangements of ivory, blush, and burgundy flowers, while the ocean remained almost completely unobstructed behind the altar. Hours later, long tables, candlelight, and abundant florals took over the grounds of Villa Ananda. Music was just as much a part of the day. The original artist […]

Classic Charleston Charm in This Admiral’s House Wedding

September 3, 2026 | justine

Belle and Owen filled their Charleston wedding with the kind of details guests could actually interact with: couches and coffee tables arranged like a living room, family wedding photos spanning generations, a band-led music line from ceremony to reception, and plenty of food for a crowd that had traveled to celebrate with them. Even a Southern tradition that didn’t quite go according to plan became part of the story when the couple tried, unsuccessfully, to […]

At Garza Blanca Cancún, Black Tie and Beachfront Made the Perfect Wedding Combination

August 31, 2026 | justine

Jackie and JJ asked guests to pack tuxedos and colorful formalwear for a wedding weekend by the Caribbean, then filled the celebration with coral, peach, yellow, and pink flowers, sweeping white drapery, and plenty of reasons to stay on the dance floor. At Garza Blanca Cancún, their “Black Tie by the Beach” idea landed somewhere between a formal evening out and a very good vacation. The details that guests took home with them were just […]

This Snug Harbor Wedding Gave NYC Guests a Tuscan Garden Escape Without the Flight

August 26, 2026 | justine

Quinn and Jack wanted to get out of New York City without asking everyone they loved to actually leave it. They found their answer on Staten Island, where historic architecture and sprawling gardens gave their Snug Harbor wedding the breezy, old-world atmosphere they had been picturing, just 45 minutes from Midtown. They planned the celebration themselves, down to the invitations, programs, menus, and place cards. Guests arrived to champagne before a ceremony filled with cheering […]

A Minimalist, Modern Black-Tie Wedding at Martin Johnson House in La Jolla

August 20, 2026 | justine

With just 36 guests, an all-white color palette, and a black-tie dress code, Kaitline and Aaron kept their La Jolla wedding intentionally intimate. A few statement pieces shaped the celebration, including couches for the ceremony, modern reception chairs, and a custom 10-foot-tall stage that transformed from a string quartet setup into a photo wall as the day unfolded. They also reconsidered how weddings were typically laid out at Martin Johnson House, putting dinner on the […]

Lace, Earth Tones, and Effortless Elegance in this Casa San Jose Destination Wedding

August 12, 2026 | justine

Family linens, everyday napkins, and the couple’s own cake knife all found their place at Casa San Jose. Rather than filling the tables with objects chosen just for one day, Logan and Tom surrounded their 50 guests with pieces that already belonged to their lives, giving the weekend a character that couldn’t have been replicated with rentals alone. The Dallas couple met at a mutual friend’s party in New York. When it came time to […]
