Christi + Adam : Elegant Texas Wedding

Held at scenic Elmwood Gardens in Palestine, Texas, the picture perfect location was just the right backdrop for the couple's sophisticated event. Details such as Christi's gorgeous brooch bouquet, the classic red rose centerpieces, and their chic ribbon wrapped cake combined with the charming location to create a romantic atmosphere that was beautifully captured by photographer, Brandi Burkett.

Dawn + James : Eco-Friendly Wedding

Today's real wedding features Dawn and James' eco-friendly event at the Four Rivers Environmental Center, located just outside of Chicago in the McKinley Woods Forest Preserve. As the bride told me, "By planning a 'green' wedding, we hope that our eco-friendly elements lessen the environmental footprint of our special day and truly make a difference." 


Their story is a classic opposites attract tale. Dawn is from the city, James is from the country. She's and interior designer, he's a farmer & lumberjack. It was important to them for their wedding to reflect both of their personalities and to maintain an elegant feel while incorporating natural elements. The result was an intimate, sophisticated event that perfectly represented the blending of two unique individuals.

Color Palette : Boho Bold

Bold is certainly beautiful, especially when combined in a way that reflects vintage style and bohemian charm. This inspiration board combines hues such as solar power yellow and sodalite blue from Pantone's spring fashion color report, with wedding classics like petal pink and red. The look is rich, layered, and textural while retaining soft elements and an elegant feel. 

Vanessa + Chris : Middle Ranch Wedding

Today we feature Vanessa & Chris who were married at Middle Ranch Lodge, located on a 650-acre horse ranch bordered by the Angeles National Forest. From the rustic elements in their flowers and decor to her simple strand of pearls and classic birdcage veil, it was an incredibly intimate wedding with a truly vintage touch.  

Color Palette : Perfectly Minted

Mint green... clean, refreshing, subtle. This inspiration board features mint as a background note against muted blues, soft grays, and classic ivory.  It's a simply irresistible color palette - perfect for spring and summer weddings.
