Perlita & Samuel<\/h1>\n
Perlita and Samuel’s California wedding at Empire Polo Grounds<\/a> was a true celebration of Mexican culture that was bursting with color and elegance from beginning to end. Although their guest list included 230 people, the feeling of the day was as intimate as could be. By focusing on meaningful details, from the hand-picked clay cups, tiles, and shot glasses from Mexico to the fruit in the floral design, they were able to create a small dinner-party vibe that made each guest feel appreciated and welcome. This wedding is truly exquisite, so be sure to check out every moment here<\/a> after reading more about it below.<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
We wanted to make sure our wedding day felt like “us” and wanted all 230 of our guests to have a memorable day. We’re super close to our families and friends, we love to host, and we love a good celebration. It was also super important that our Mexican heritage was represented throughout the day. We incorporated a Mariachi for cocktail hour, Mexican tiles and clay cups that we handpicked in Rosarito, MX, and served both Mexican and American dishes throughout the evening.<\/em><\/p>\n

Elise & Erik<\/h1>\n
With 400 people on their guest list, Elise and Erik’s wedding is one of the largest we’ve seen but also one of the most intimate! They transformed 16th Street Station<\/a> into the Hobbiton party of their dreams. Inspired by the summer party that Bilbo Baggins throws for his 111th birthday, Elise and Erik chose a color-scheme and vibe to carry out through their wedding day. The tables were full of florals, fruits, and vegetables, which filled the space with rich colors. The celebration continued in Hobbit style with a delicious spread of various drinks and dishes for their guests to indulge in. Even though the venue itself was massive and grand, the farm-to-table feel of the tablescapes and cafe lights strung above them gave it the coziest feel. See just how magical the entire day was here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
$\"\"$ <\/p>\n
The most memorable part of the day for both of us was entering into the ceremony and looking out from the stage to see the 400 people who have invested in us, have loved us, and prayed over us. Of course, we had our immediate families there, but we also included on our guest list the baristas that have served us coffee every day for years. It was an amazing moment to look out at the array of guests we had.<\/em><\/p>\n

Helise & Rizky<\/h1>\n
Helise and Rizky’s wedding at Khayangan Estate<\/a> was as epic as they come but also totally intimate and heartfelt. The ceremony took place at the waterfront, where they lined an aisle with white rose petals and had a stunning backdrop covered in the pink roses. For their reception, they created mini vignettes decorated with sentimental pieces, set up multiple lounge areas with different seating options, and hung tons of romantic lighting to make their expansive venue feel personal, warm, and inviting. It’s no easy feat to create such an intimate feel in such a large venue and with so many guests, but they pulled it off flawlessly. You can find every dreamy detail in their full wedding feature here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Our song is “Magic” by Coldplay<\/a> and it was the inspiration for our wedding day – lots of lighting and vintage feel. I’ve always wanted to get married outdoors, as well. It all just fell into place. <\/em><\/p>\n

Jenelle & Johnny<\/h1>\n
Jenelle and Johnny combined the grandeur of a fairytale ball with the intimate feel of an at-home wedding for a day that was beyond beautiful. The couple kept their ceremony sweet and simple by setting up a canopy and chairs near the lake. For their reception, they rented an incredible clear tent, complete with crystal chandeliers, a variety of rustic and vintage seating options, and some seriously impressive cascading floral arrangements. They set up lounge areas, used vintage-inspired furniture and décor, and kept the palette subtle yet elegant, all of which gave their reception an approached elegant that still felt like a home away from home. You can find their entire fairytale wedding here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

We only had about 7 and a half months to plan the wedding. A lot of the venues we looked at were booked out for a year. So, I started looking at outdoor weddings that had clear tents and fell in love. My parents live on 7 acres in the middle of Southlake, Texas and I convinced my parents that it was perfect. It turned out to be a lot more than just throwing a tent up in the backyard. We had to bring everything to the house, from generators to fancy outdoor bathrooms. It was all worth it though because I got to get married at home, where I grew up. There was something special about getting ready in my family room and walking out the front door to marry my love. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.<\/em><\/p>\n
