What three adjectives best describe your wedding day? Intimate, fun and unforgettable

Was there a decor theme that ran through your wedding? What was the inspiration for that particular idea and how did it reflect you as a couple? I love all things Anthropologie, which inspired me to create a warm, natural and charming setting for our wedding. As a couple, we love to host people at our home and we always try to provide a warm and cozy environment for our guests. Thats how we wanted our wedding to feel at our wedding too.

What were some of the different ways you used decor elements to create the beautiful, cohesive event you were envisioning? I wanted my wedding to be both timeless and charming. My wedding dress was an elegant, yet fashion forward Carolina Herrera gown. I dressed my bridesmaids in bright, sunny dresses from Anthropologie. Also, I adored my florist, Susan from Peony and Plum, and her arrangements! I chose flowers and centerpieces that were soft and elegant, but still made a statement.

Where did you choose to hold your wedding, and how did the location influence your decor decisions? We chose Terranea Resort for its stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. The location provided the perfect backdrop for a charming and rustic, yet elegant wedding, and we centered our decor decisions around that theme.

If this doesn’t get you ready for summer, I don’t know what will! Adorable South Carolina couple Lindsay and Adam joined up with photographer Ricki Ford, hair stylist Sable Lee, and the wedding planning team at Stunning and Brilliant Events to create an ice cream eating, roller-coaster riding, amusement park, roller skating engagement photo shoot straight out of the movies. They even included signs, both big and small, to let their friends and family know to save the date for 6-23. What fun!

Winter Wedding at The Four Seasons Resort, Whistler – Raven and Lanny

May 22, 2012 | editorial team

For two Texans, a winter wedding at the beautiful Four Seasons Resort in Whistler, Canada was the perfect way to celebrate! Raven and Lanny created a wedding day that featured gorgeous nature-inspired decor; a cozy, comfortable setting for their guests; and a snowy winter wonderland that was wildly different than their Texas home. The whole day (including the furry movie star that popped in to their late-night photo booth!) was beautifully captured by Anastasia Photography.

What were the top three priorities for you in planning your wedding? Decor, food and comfort!

What wedding traditions or cultural traditions did you incorporated into your wedding and what did they mean to you? We didn’t follow many wedding traditions or cultural traditions. We pretty much just did what we wanted and incorporated both of our unique tastes to make the wedding suit our personalities.

Were there any places where you broke the rules in your wedding planning? Why and how did you do that? We decided not to have a wedding cake. We had 56 guests, so rather than have a small cake, we had the Four Seasons make individual portions of desserts to be served at dinner.

What was your biggest wedding planning success? Having our florist, Rembrandt Designs Co. cut trees for the seating at our ceremony!

What was the most important thing that you learned through the wedding planning process and what would you tell other brides-to-be? Hire a good wedding planner. The day of the wedding was so easy and stress-free because Roxanne Cave, of Celebrate Events took care of everything! Also hire a great photographer…pictures last a lifetime!
