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 […]

Wedding Ideas: Historic Venue Wedding
A Closed 17th-Century Mexican Hacienda Reopened Just for This Romantic Goth Glam Elopement
It took Katie nearly a year of searching to find Hacienda Uayamón, a centuries-old property in Campeche with weathered red walls, jungle greenery, and the kind of Mexican ruins that immediately ended her venue hunt. There was just one problem: the hacienda had been closed for years. Getting married there would eventually require the owner to reopen the property exclusively for Katie and Nick, plus a team of around 30 people working behind the scenes […]
This Snug Harbor Wedding Gave NYC Guests a Tuscan Garden Escape Without the Flight
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 Monument in Golden Gate Park Was Reinterpreted Into This Romantic, Neoclassical Wedding Design
Some wedding designers begin with a color palette or floral vision. For Junebug vendor Van der Vows, the creative process often starts with the venue itself. When principal designer and owner Chelsea discovered the Portals of the Past tucked inside Golden Gate Park, she saw more than a historic landmark. As the last remaining fragment of a mansion lost to fire and earthquakes, the monument shaped every creative decision that followed. Flowing silk softened its […]
This Antigua, Guatemala Wedding Blended Colonial Ruins and Tropical Maximalism Perfectly
In Antigua, Guatemala, Ana and Juan hosted the kind of wedding weekend people both gleefully anticipate and talk about long after it’s over. There was a volcano hike with more than 100 guests, an all-white welcome party, a candlelit dinner under the stars, and a reception that ended with a surprise DJ set from the groom. The celebration unfolded between the historic ruins of Santa Clara and the gardens of Villa Bokeh, weaving together music, […]
This Castello Odescalchi Bracciano Wedding Embraces Italian Glamour with a Modern Touch
Edoardo and Federica didn’t have to look far for the heart of their wedding. They found it in the places that already meant something to them—starting in Umbria, where they were both born, raised, and still live today. Having known each other for years, their relationship developed gradually, without a clear starting point, which made their decision to marry feel like a natural continuation rather than a turning point. When they started planning, they weren’t […]
Chicago Firehouse Wedding Full of Bookish Charm, Celestial Details, and Antique Treasures
Isa and Andrew’s Chicago Firehouse wedding came together the same way their relationship did: quickly, instinctively, and without much second-guessing. After meeting at work, what started as “hours of loitering at each other’s desks and dodging HR’s watchful eye” turned into something immediate. “This wasn’t a slow burn office romance,” they shared. “It was a ‘when you know, you know’ kind of connection, and we both immediately knew.” That certainty carried straight into their wedding […]
This Baroque-Inspired Editorial at Schloss Hof Proves Historic Venues Don’t Require Traditional Weddings

With a mix of soft details and bold design choices, the team reimagined a baroque setting in a way that feels current, creative, and full of personality. Led by Junebug vendor and planner Elisabeth Cardich of A Very Beloved Wedding, the concept focused on contrast: […]
An Elegant Minimalist Wedding in Syracuse Woven with Indian Tradition
Some weddings start with a checklist. Others begin with a feeling you can’t quite put into words yet. For Rylie and Joshua, their wedding in Syracuse came down to a simple idea: keep things refined, intentional, and true to who they are. They leaned toward soft color, clean lines, and venues that already had presence, letting those elements guide the day instead of layering on more. Their story came together just as naturally. They had […]
A Candlelit Night Wedding in the Renovated Ruins of Merida’s Hacienda Tamchen
Carol and Dan always knew they wanted a wedding that felt intimate and connected to its surroundings. They found exactly that in Merida, where historic charm and quiet elegance naturally set the tone. Their story began in the most unassuming way. Although they worked in the same building, they were little more than familiar faces passing each other in the halls until one day, a chance encounter at the office snack machine changed everything. What […]
