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 […]

This Monte Cardon Wedding in San Jose del Cabo Was the Coolest Desert Destination Party
Natalie and Will had two requirements when they started wedding planning: warm and fun. In practice, that became a private desert venue outside San Jose del Cabo, Bird of Paradise orange woven through the details, dinner that guests are still talking about, and a reception designed to get progressively louder as the night went on. Their Monte Cardon wedding moved through different corners of the property, from an outdoor ceremony surrounded by desert, mountains, […]
Italian Garden Meets Japanese Ikebana at This Summer Cape Town Vineyard Wedding
An Italian garden dinner and Japanese Ikebana don’t immediately sound like two halves of the same wedding mood board. For Michelle and Raymond, that was exactly the point. Their Cape Town vineyard wedding paired grapes, lemons, candlelight, and a long table on the lawn with orchids, pastel florals, fortune cookies, and Japanese-inspired arrangements. Even the ceremony and reception had completely different palettes. The couple met while working at Triggerfish Animation Studios. Neither was particularly looking […]
A Seattle Ferry Boat Wedding Where the Couple Surprised Guests With a Sea Kayak Getaway
There were guests dancing before dinner to a favorite local band, kayakers watching the ceremony from the water, and, just when everyone thought the evening had settled into a reception, the newlyweds climbed into sea kayaks in full wedding attire and paddled around the boat. That surprise alone would have made this ferry boat wedding memorable, but it was only one part of a weekend designed to introduce friends and family to the Seattle Whitaker […]
Custom Attire from Beginning to End in this Multicultural Oklahoma Wedding
Guests watched Marie disappear from the reception more than once that evening, each time returning in something entirely different. She started the day in a sculptural Mikado wedding gown, later changed into a beaded reception dress made for dancing, then into a Vietnamese áo dài before ending the night in a Korean hanbok alongside Joseph. Every outfit had been custom made, and every change marked another part of the celebration. That thread carried through the […]
Ocean Views and Island Vibes at This Casa Coco Jewish Beach Wedding
Three days of celebrations unfolded on Isla Mujeres, beginning with a Jewish ceremony overlooking the ocean at Casa Coco and ending with an Ibiza-inspired after-party complete with fire performers, dancers, and a Mayan sunrise show. But the forecast almost rewrote the entire weekend. Rain poured down that morning, and the ceremony was close to being moved indoors. Then, just two hours before guests arrived, the clouds broke, revealing the sunset the couple had been hoping […]
Lace, Earth Tones, and Effortless Elegance in this Casa San Jose Destination Wedding
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 […]
This Tibumana Waterfall Elopement in Ubud, Bali Was an Intimate Family Affair
A 24-hour flight, a five-year-old flower girl, and a ceremony beside Tibumana Waterfall made Alissa and Daquan’s Bali wedding feel like a family vacation with a wedding built into it. Before they exchanged vows beneath the trees, their closest loved ones spent several days exploring Ubud together, visiting elephant parks, monkey forests, and local restaurants before gathering at the falls for an intimate ceremony. Global events nearly changed those plans. Flight cancellations meant several members […]
A Hidden Oklahoma Gem Made the Most Stunning Backdrop for an Elegant Spring Wedding
Black-and-white checkered floors, carved stone archways, and spring flowers in shades of purple and pink set the scene for Lexi and Jack’s wedding at Marland Mansion. Gold accents, ornate stonework, and grand hallways became part of the decor without much extra effort. The couple met through a dating app while attending Texas Tech University and quickly settled into the kind of relationship built on laughter and simply enjoying each other’s company. That same approach shaped […]
This Ayana Resort Bali Wedding Went From Breezy Cliffside Ceremony to Retro Theater Reception
A cliffside ceremony overlooking Jimbaran Bay, colored smoke drifting into the sky after the first kiss, and a reception that swapped tropical scenery for a retro-inspired theater filled with red drapery and candlelight—this Ayana Resort Bali wedding balanced relaxed vacation energy with a party that kept guests dancing long after dinner. Siri and Johnathan built an entire weekend around their guests, from encouraging everyone to embrace a dopamine-colored dress code to designing an interactive welcome […]
