This Bride’s Long-Sleeved Ines di Santo Dress Inspired the Design for the Hilton Lake Las Vegas Wedding

July 14, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Ashley and Samuel combined boho-chic style with black tie elegance in their Hilton Lake Las Vegas wedding. Although it might sound unconventional, the bride’s long-sleeved lace Ines di Santo gown was the perfect inspiration for this wedding, dictating everything from the autumn date to the formal attire and the soft, romantic feel of the decor. When combined with her long, lace-trimmed veil and sparkly Jimmy Choo heels, she had the air of old Hollywood glam that was perfect for the glitz and glamour of Vegas without losing the soft, bohemian feel. I Do Details Weddings & Events highlighted the Mediterranean-inspired resort by bringing in neutral linens, ivory and blush rose centerpieces designed by Layers of Lovely, and gold accents that twinkled under the cafe lights and crystal chandeliers that were strung throughout the Italian gardens. The Light & The Love had so many moments of pure romance and impeccable design to capture, and they nailed it!

The Couple:

Ashley and Samuel

The Wedding:

Hilton Lake Las Vegas, Nevada

I planned our entire wedding around wanting to wear a long sleeved lace dress. This meant a fall wedding, and probably not in Hawaii. I fell in love with an Ines di Santo dress the second I put it on. The material was so light I could move around so easily. The lace was so soft and romantic and beautiful. Since the dress didn’t have a sparkle, I chose Jimmy Choo heels with an all-over champagne sparkle.

We wanted our vibe to be mostly elegant and a little boho chic. It was a November wedding, so we went black tie optional for long dresses and dark suits. The florals were soft and romantic with pops of pampas grass.

Our advice: have a first look! It calmed all the nerves that we had before the ceremony. Also, hire a wedding planner! They are knowledgeable about the industry and will help steer you in the right direction for your wedding vision.

This La Push Elopement Inspiration Along the Washington Coast Couldn’t Be Any Cuter

July 13, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

We are hopelessly in love with the moody PNW beach vibes in this La Push elopement inspiration shoot! Dawn Photo and the planners at Brier + Ivy crafted the most romantic setting in Washington’s Olympic Park, setting up a simple, hand-lettered ceremony banner and floral display and mid-century modern meets boho sweetheart table in the woods. Floral Mountains teamed up with Brier + Ivy to create a bridal bouquet full of natural texture and dimension, as well as a cascading greenery and white rose floral display that looked like it simply grew out of the trees. The rest of the shoot consisted of Dawn Photo and Becca Neblock following this gorgeous couple up and down the beach, where they got to dance, wade in the water, and play with German Shepard puppy named Zeus. We can’t think of any better way to spend a spring day on the Washington coast!

Romantic Eucalyptus-Inspired Santorini Wedding at Venetsanos Winery

July 13, 2018 | Junebug Weddings

Hannah and Tareq embraced the laid-back and rustic Santorini vibes for their wedding at Venetsanos Winery. The couple, who hail from the Isle of Man and Jordan, wanted their wedding to be more than a party: they wanted it to be an authentic representation of their cultures and their love for the people who traveled to be with them. So they and their planner from Sand + Lace put together a romantic eucalyptus-inspired wedding with an impeccable view of the caldera that was minimal with hints of bohemian, rustic, and whimsical styles. Betty Flowers Santorini created eucalyptus table runners and plate decor, as well as eucalyptus crowns for the bride and her girls, that made the al fresco reception feel carefree yet elegant. We love that Hannah chose a modern, sexy Grace Loves Lace gown and Tareq opted for a relaxed Massimo Dutti suit looked modern but had a laid-back feel. From the views over the island to the fireworks at the end of the reception, PaulinaWeddings captured every breathtaking moment of this Santorini wedding!

The Couple:

Hannah and Tareq

The Wedding:

Venetsanos Winery, Santorini, Greece

We knew we wanted to have an intimate, romantic wedding with only a small gathering of family and friends. We wanted it to have a more personal feel, bringing both of our cultures together without feeling overwhelmed. We ultimately wanted it to be about love and not just a party.

The most memorable parts of the day would be having my mum there during preparations and walking me down the aisle. We also loved the heartfelt speeches our family and friends gave!

If you are a perfectionist like me, I highly suggest hiring a wedding planner to relieve some of the pressure from you during the planning process and on your wedding day. They can also recommend suppliers and bring fresh ideas to the table. Also, live music is a must! Michalis Karamolegos was amazing; everyone loved him!

For our guests, we made personalized brown bags with 3 gifts that represented us and where we had the wedding. To represent me, we gave handmade Isle of Man Manx tartan hearts (made by my cousin). To represent Tareq, we gave dead sea salt from Jordan in small glass bottles (made by Tareq’s sister). To represent us and our wedding, we gave small bottles of local Ouzo (made by our wedding planner).
