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, […]
Orange Wedding Color Ideas & Color Palettes
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 […]
This Wedding at Hacienda San Cristóbal Is a Love Letter to Contemporary Mexican Design
For Anette and Antonio, their wedding weekend became an introduction to Mexico for the family and friends who had traveled from around the world to celebrate with them. It began with cocktails in the heart of Mexico City’s Historic Center before moving to Hacienda San Cristóbal, where centuries-old adobe walls, regional cuisine, mariachi music, and a traditional charro horse performance welcomed 130 guests over the course of the celebration. Every stop added another layer […]
A Queer Las Vegas Wedding Full of Old Vegas Glamour and Neon Museum Magic
There are countless ways to celebrate in Las Vegas, but Bri and Avery wanted their wedding weekend to show guests the version of the city they had come to love. Their queer Las Vegas wedding traded casino clichés for restored neon signs, Halloween on Fremont Street, a historic midcentury home, and a reception that ended with an unexpected jump into the pool after the final song. The city became part of their story long before […]
This Couple Renovated a 30-Year-Old Family Farm to Host Their Dream Wedding in São Paulo
The family farm in Amparo had been largely untouched for three decades, but instead of booking a traditional venue for their Sao Paulo wedding, Johanna and Murilo decided to restore the property from the ground up. The project became much more than a place to host guests. It gave both sides of their family—coming from Brazil, Germany, and beyond—a reason to gather in one place that would continue to belong to the family long after […]
This Fronton Bucareli Wedding Paired Jaw-Dropping Design With a Day Full of Surprises
There was never a point during Kiana and Hector’s wedding when guests could predict what would happen next. At Fronton Bucareli, each part of the celebration revealed something new, from a courtyard ceremony and a hidden cocktail lounge to a dramatic reception space unveiled behind curtains. Along the way came a donkey named Nacho, a roaming magician, a surprise drag performance, and a dance floor that stayed busy well into the night. That sense of […]
Pastel Florals and Quiet Tulum Elegance at This Hacienda 21 Wedding
The wedding ended with everyone jumping into the pool, but one of the day’s standout moments happened much earlier, when Abi-Grace and Henry were married by both of their fathers. Between those two moments came a scooter getaway with beer cans trailing behind, tropical florals spilling across a private villa, and a celebration that embraced Tulum’s easygoing pace at Hacienda 21. The couple met in college, where a close friendship slowly grew into something more. […]

There were iced coffees and matcha before the ceremony, popcorn for guests to snack on while they waited, and a tattoo artist whose line barely slowed down all night. By the end of the reception, 17 guests had gone home with permanent souvenirs, while more than 60 others had tried to get one before time ran out. It was exactly the kind of celebration Mackenzie and Chris hoped to host at Valentine DTLA—one where every […]
This Balinese Wedding Brought Together Unexpected Color and an Untamed Floral Design
There wasn’t a floral arch waiting at the end of the aisle. Instead, layers of greenery and soft blooms framed the ceremony while the Ubud jungle remained the main attraction. It set the tone for a Balinese wedding filled with unexpected color, local traditions, and thoughtful details that gave guests a glimpse into the culture of Bali. New York-based couple Ella and Daniel planned a destination celebration that reflected both where they live now and […]
Elevated and Immersive Wedding Celebration Inspired by Mexico’s Lake Chapala
A private lakeside estate, oversized vintage-inspired lamps hanging from the trees, a 30-meter candy bar wrapped around a majestic tree trunk, and fireworks reflecting across the water—Mariana and Juan’s Lake Chapala wedding made full use of a place that already meant so much to them. Every part of the day unfolded across the estate, from cocktails beneath historic stone arches to an outdoor reception that shifted naturally from golden hour into an evening lit by […]
