The Dunlavy embodied the romantic, moody vibe the couple wanted. A color palette of blacks, mauves, and Bordeaux red was brought to life by Maria Maxit in floral arrangements. “I wanted a contrast of dark and light colors,” Brittany says of the florals, which included ombre roses, orchids, and more. “Maria brought my vision to life!” After a traditional Jewish ceremony, the pair and their guests dined and danced under the venue’s elegant chandeliers. Though the guests might mention the decadent mac and cheese bar as the night’s favorite, for the bride, it was the Hora dance: “It is one of my favorite Jewish wedding traditions!”

Both originally from Dallas, Brittany Shipp and Hudson Seidel met on a blind date set up by mutual friends. Hudson proposed during a weekend getaway to Vail, Colo., with expansive views of the mountains as a backdrop—a moment captured perfectly by a photographer he had hired to hide nearby. “I will treasure those photos forever,” the bride says.

We love a groom in classic black, don’t get us wrong. But when it comes to statement-making style choices for the gents, opting for a happy hue is always a great way to infuse your wedding with some personality. From burgundy to chambray blue, here are five suit colors we’d love to see grooms donning more this year.

Burgundy

Next to black, this might be our favorite suit color for 2018. It’s a hue that looks great any season and adds a bit of warmth and romance to your groom’s style.

Go Green

From sage to forest green, this hue is a perfect choice for a fete with vintage flair. Pair it with camel loafers like shown here for a more casual look.

Chambray Blue

This hue is our number one pick for summer 2018 weddings. From a beach soiree to a Southern charmer, it’s light, fun and fresh and perfect warm weather fetes.

Two-tone Tweed

An all-white suit might feel a bit stark and compete with the bride’s style—but add a tweed jacket and you’ve got two-tone perfection.

Navy Check

Going for more of a hipster vibe? Navy check is where it’s at and pairs handsomely with pops of red blooms.

For this incredible wedding, we drew inspiration from the breathtaking sunset hues of Baja, creating a bold and dynamic design with color blocking. We blended vibrant shades of orange, pink, yellow, and peach to evoke the essence of the sunset.

[/field]
[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Creating the floral design for this wedding was an exquisite journey of seamless collaboration and unified creativity. The perfect synergy among Bonnie, Anna (our bride), and myself was simply awe-inspiring. With boundless trust and endless conversations where we would spontaneously share fresh ideas and delve into discussions like, ‘What do you think about this?’ or ‘What if we do this?’ Making this the perfect example of our ideal approach to crafting beautiful weddings.[/field]

The wedding was a beautiful celebration of love, seamlessly blending neutral tones, natural woods, and fresh greenery to create a timeless and sophisticated aesthetic. The overall vibe was romantic, exuding elegant, garden-inspired charm that felt both thoughtful and intimate. Neutral tones formed the perfect backdrop, with soft creams, beiges, and subtle earth tones weaving through the décor—from the bridal party attire to the table settings. Natural wood accents added warmth and authenticity, featured in everything from the ceremony arch to and reception tables. For the florals, the team at Brier + Ivy was inspired by elevating a neutral palette. Using lots of texture and variety, we expanded on the classic white and greenery florals to create arrangements that felt fresh and suited the season, plus the Central Oregon setting perfectly. Locally grown metalina roses added a taupey depth to the palette. Lots of limelight hydrangea brought a fullness and texture while small-world dahlias and cosmos added some movement and a touch of playfulness. Each part of the day was thoughtfully designed to feel classic yet unique – a classic-shaped arbor was paired with meandering aisle florals popping up from the ground. The reception tables featured a mix of centerpiece styles for added detail & visual interest. For the bar, they created a fun installation to add to the experiential feel of the florals across the spaces. Timeless does not need to be predictable or overplayed and you see that here throughout the day’s floral design!

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

We had been together since college, so 7 years when Austin proposed. We had travelled together to Greece for his cousin’s wedding; the day after the wedding, we had plans to travel to Loutro, which is a beautiful town on the southern part of the island of Crete. The town is only accessible by boat and has the classic white building architecture that many of the islands are famous for. At the end of a wonderful day, Austin popped the question on the top of a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. We celebrated that night with his family!

[field title=”Wedding Gown”]

This bride radiated elegance and sophistication in a sleek and minimalist strapless wedding gown. The structured bodice perfectly complemented her silhouette, while the long, flowing train added a dramatic yet classic touch to the ensemble. Hayley said she knew she wanted a timeless wedding dress. She tried on about 30 wedding dresses before landing on the dress she chose. Once she tried on this dress by Anne Barge, she knew it was the one. It was simple, elegant, classic – all the things she was looking for in a dress for my big day. Her choice of accessories was understated yet refined—a pair of pearl drop earrings and a delicate bracelet completed the look. The bride’s hair was styled in a polished low bun, keeping the focus on her glowing features and the gown’s clean lines. Her makeup by Powder Inc. was soft and radiant, with a natural palette that emphasized her fresh, glowing complexion.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]The bridesmaids complemented the bride’s sleek look with effortlessly chic, floor-length dresses in a soft champagne color. The halter-style neckline of the gowns added a touch of sophistication while offering a modern twist on classic bridesmaid attire. The dresses’ flowing silhouettes flattered each bridesmaid uniquely, creating a cohesive yet personalized ensemble.

The delicate ivory and green bouquets carried by each bridesmaid added an organic touch, further enhancing the timeless yet understated aesthetic.[/field]

The groomsmen were dressed in elegant, classic black-tie attire. They wore a tailored black tuxedo with a sharp, modern fit, creating a cohesive and sophisticated look. The tuxedos were paired with crisp white dress shirts, adding a clean and timeless contrast to the ensemble. Completing their formal attire, they wear traditional black bow ties, which enhance the polished and refined aesthetic.

[field title=”Food & Drink”]The wedding experience was nothing short of extraordinary, beginning with a delightful array of passed appetizers that set the tone for the evening. Guests savored the rich flavors of crispy Mushroom Arancini, perfectly golden Dungeness Crab Cakes paired with a zesty citrus remoulade, and sweet, savory Bacon-Wrapped Dates filled with creamy Boursin cheese. Caprese Skewers, drizzled with Saba vinegar and garnished with fresh basil, added a touch of freshness, while Ahi Tuna and Avocado Tartar served on crispy wontons provided a refined, flavorful bite.

As dinner commenced, each guest was treated to a beautifully curated plated meal that included artisan bread and sweet butter alongside a classic Hearts of Romaine Caesar Salad, complete with parmesan reggiano and house-made croutons. Entrée selections offered something for every palate: the succulent Roast Half Chicken served with garlic whipped potatoes, crisp green beans, and a savory chicken mushroom demi; Northwest Salmon accompanied by citrus-infused rice, grilled broccolini, and a delicate miso glaze; tender, melt-in-your-mouth Braised Beef Short Ribs with crispy fingerlings, heirloom carrots, and onion jus; or a vegetarian masterpiece—Forest Mushroom Lasagna, layered with fresh pasta, pomodoro sauce, and a hearty mushroom ragout.[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

The wedding design featured a blend of neutral tones, natural woods, and fresh greenery, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. This romantic setting was thoughtfully curated to evoke an elegant, garden-inspired vibe, where every detail contributed to a sense of effortless sophistication and natural beauty. The showstopper was the ceremony arbor designed and created by Brier + Ivy. A stunning modern, minimal arbor adorned with lush florals exuded elegance and charm. A rich variety of greenery in diverse tones and textures served as the perfect backdrop for the artfully clustered blooms. A delicate clematis vine with its soft white flowers intertwined with locally sourced hydrangeas and whimsical fairy rose branches create a dynamic and visually captivating arrangement. The reception tables were a vision of understated elegance, stretching gracefully beneath the soft afternoon light streaming through the venue’s tall windows. Crisp bone linens cascaded down to the floor, creating a clean, neutral canvas for the decor. At the heart of each table, delicate floral arrangements sat like little gardens, their white and blush blooms mingling with soft greenery. Roses, wildflowers, and wisps of delicate foliage spilled gracefully from sleek white ceramic vases, giving the tables a natural yet curated charm. Tall glass hurricanes stood like sentinels among the flowers, their glowing candles casting flickering light that danced across the table. The contrast of the sleek black bentwood chairs against the light, airy tones of the décor added a modern edge, grounding the romantic softness with a touch of drama. Each place setting was perfectly poised—simple and refined—with white chargers and scalloped menus, inviting guests to settle in for an evening of celebration and beauty. It was a scene straight out of a storybook, where every detail whispered sophistication and love.

Austin’s mother passed away from breast cancer when he was 10 years old. For every birthday and big celebration growing up, she would make him a Funfetti cake. After we had met, my sister always made him a Funfetti cake for his birthday. This tradition has stayed true. To honor Austin’s mom and one of our favorite traditions, we chose this cake flavor.

[/field]
[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

One of our favorite parts of our wedding was the speeches. We each had two maids of honor and best men. One sibling and one best childhood friend. It was so much fun to hear the different perspectives growing up with us from a sibling and a friend. I thought it made the reception speeches a lot more personal.

[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #1″]One special detail we had was that we knew we wanted to have a drink at the wedding that nodded to Oregon, especially because we had many out of state guests. We knew we wanted to incorporate the state berry, which is the marionberry. We decided to serve marionberry spritzes, which were a big hit with our guests.[/field]
[field title=”Special Detail #2″]

Another special detail was having a live musician for the ceremony and cocktail hour. We knew we wanted a local country musician to lean into the central Oregon ranch vibe. We found Olivia Harms and fell in love with her music, we knew we had to have her. She sang covers as well as her music throughout the beginning of the evening and she provided the perfect background for the ceremony.

[field title=”Design / Vibe / Vision”]Jessica and Jason were married in July, 23 years from that moment of teenage bliss, in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close family at Jason’s parents’ estate known fittingly as “Angel’s Grace” in Barrington Hills, Illinois. It was a dreamy setting, covered in lush greenery and endless white florals, the ceremony and reception blended naturally yet sparkled as the sun set. [/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

It was July 2000 in Verona, Italy where Jessica was on holiday with her family. It was there, at Juliette’s infamous house and balcony, where Jason and Jessica’s love was set, literally in stone. Inscribed on the walls and benches, where love notes were shared from thousands around the world, she wrote ‘Jessica loves Jason’ in a heart. God was watching, He was listening; those high school sweethearts were soulmates. Although their paths split soon thereafter, though not by choice, somewhere deep within, they knew they had to find each other again. But, it was a time before texting or Facebook, where messaging could only happen if you were online or heard the exciting sound of, ‘You’ve got mail!’ – which was their favorite movie to watch together. Twenty years passed, and one day, Jessica found Jason, and the light sparked again. She took a leap of faith and reached out to him, wondering if he would remember her. Much to her excitement, he did and responded instantly. When they finally reunited, the fire reignited, and the love beamed; two halves knew they were back as one. Their hearts knew, their souls knew. God smiled. Engaged in New York City at the fountain where ‘NY152’ and ‘Shopgirl’ finally embrace in the 1998 romcom movie, their wedding inspiration would express that same, fairytale feeling. They were married in July, 23 years from that moment of teenage bliss, in an intimate ceremony surrounded by close family at Jason’s parents’ estate known fittingly as “Angel’s Grace” in Barrington Hills, Illinois. It was a dreamy setting, covered in lush greenery and endless white florals; the ceremony and reception blended naturally yet sparkled as the sun set. The bride’s Chantilly lace-draped, Elie Saab gown and veil and pearl-embellished Jimmy Choo harmonized with the ethereal beauty of the landscape. Even the post-reception dress, a satin Galvan gown with blue, ‘Hangisi’ Manolo Blahnik’s and matching diamond-wrapped sapphire jewelry, captured the elegance of the evening with a dash of ‘something blue’. Both exquisite looks complemented the groom’s tailored Ted Baker tuxedo and Ferragamo loafers. Guests dressed in black tie and gowns in gold, silver and metallic shades to keep the aesthetic cohesive. Even the horses, Colter and Partner, and Brad, the Labrador, dressed in their finest for the occasion! A specially designed monogram, “JB2”, was weaved throughout including custom, embroidered linens displayed under crystal chandeliers where an artfully crafted 5-course meal was savored by all before dancing into the night! Walking through the path they love so much, called ‘Jordan’s Way’ before joining the party, it was the perfect moment to reflect on the journey they have embarked upon and their renewed lives as one, truly blessed by the magic of an angel’s grace – first and forever loves.

Sunlake Catering For our cocktail hour, we had a large spread for guests to enjoy. We had someone making fresh mozzerella live in front of guests, and they loved it. We decided to cut into a giant ball of fresh mozzerella for our cocktail hour since we were in Italy. Our specialty drinks were the Espresso Martini and a Mosco Mule (hers and his). For dinner, we had a full 3 course meal. Starting with scallops with buffalo mozzerella, then a truffle brown butter pasta, moving into a bacon raped filet. For dessert we helped make our wedding cake live in front of guests. We made a traditional Italian wedding cake – Mille foglie. Then also a dessert table. For our late night snack, we had a pizza truck come and make fresh woodfired pizza.

Lake Como Florist For our florals and decor, we really wanted to use calm earth toned colors that can be found around our wedding venue. Our venue has many lush gardens and neutral tones, so we tried to reflect that. For our ceremony we got inspiration for the famous italian garden of Giardini Pelegrini. For our reception we tried to create unique chandeliers that look like a blooming flower.

We made our wedding cake as a “show” in front of our guests. This was SO much fun!

We decided to replicate an Italian garden for our ceremony design – something that had never been done before. For our reception, the table décor and chandeliers (flowers coming out of chandelier and design) are unique and tie in many small details such as grapes on the tables, bows, and circular menus that fit right into the plate.

On a warm August day, Hannah and Charlie celebrated their wedding at the historic Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. The venue, with its grand architecture and lush gardens, provided the perfect backdrop for the couple’s elegant and sophisticated day. Green/Cream Garden Party was the overall vision and aesthetic. They wanted it to be a chic and tasteful affair while incorporating lush florals from 89th and Autumn and custom pieces throughout, from the stationery to a unique rose + train detail added onto the front of Hannah’s gown. Pop and Fizz handled the wedding planning and design, ensuring that every detail was meticulously executed. The reception was a sophisticated affair with white table settings and lush green accents that brought the space to life, creating a perfect setting for dinner and dancing.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

We were down in South Florida for Christmas with both sides of our family. I had a feeling it would be during this trip, but I had no idea when or where. Charlie and I made plans for our parents to have dinner together on the 23rd of December (which was a big deal because that was only their second time meeting). Charlie told me we were going to a “fancy” brunch on the 23rd with all of his side of the family and that he would be picking me up at 7 AM to drive to Miami. As we were driving, I got suspicious as he said that the brunch was at Vizcaya Museum & Gardens (they don’t even have a restaurant). As we arrived, the security guard questioned Charlie and said, “Oh, you are the one here for a photoshoot… right?” From then on, I was messing with him because I knew it was happening. He walked me through the museum and to the gazebo on the water where he popped the question. We then had a full hour exploring the gardens alone with the photographer to do our engagement shoot. Following this, he planned a Michelin-starred lunch and a surprise party with all of our friends and family. It was the sweetest and we were in a dream!!

KYHA Studios was the designer of the gown from the chosen collection. After trying on the dress, Hannah knew immediately that it was the one. Having a fashion statement was important, so Hannah had KYHA add a custom rose and tie to the bodice skirt. Apollo features a scooped neckline with a drape detail, a structured, dipped waist corset, and a draped wrap skirt. Jade Jamrozy worked her magic to bring a Hollywood glam look to life, styling Hannah’s hair in loose curls that cascaded down her shoulders. This classic yet modern look perfectly complemented the gown’s design and added to the bride’s radiant style.

The floral arrangements by 89th and Autumn were nothing short of stunning. From the intimate ceremony space to the beautifully arranged reception tables, the flowers added a fresh, natural feel to the day. Their use of soft greenery and delicate blooms tied in seamlessly with the overall aesthetic of the wedding. The elegance of Callanwolde’s grand hall was enhanced by the florals, creating a romantic and serene atmosphere for the celebration.

While the ceremony sometimes gets put on the back-burner as short and more of a formality, this is our most important part. This is where the commitments of a lifetime are made and where we promise to love each other unconditionally for the rest of our lives. It is also important to us that all of our friends and family are there to witness this moment and celebrate with us!

We met the first few weeks of college as freshmen when our friend groups randomly intertwined. It was very obvious that Charlie was smitten with me, but I friend-zoned him for a solid year. After a year of being friends, we started talking more and became more interested in each other romantically. My first impression of Charlie was an outgoing, quality person who I knew I wanted in my life. Charlie’s first impression of me was “cute, out of my league, and an interesting person that I wanted to get to know.”

We envisioned a wedding with the feel of a romantic, vintage-inspired garden party—intimate, floral, and filled with effortless charm. Set in the lush gardens of Parker Palm Springs, the atmosphere was designed to feel like stepping into a hidden oasis, soft and inviting. The vibe was laid-back yet elegant, embracing natural beauty and a timeless sense of romance.

[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Blake proposed to me in Elizabeth Street Garden, just down the block from our Nolita apartment. We were on our way to what I thought was the 5th anniversary party for Public Hotel, where my sister was overseeing a construction project. Blake had arranged for the garden to stay open 30 minutes past its usual 6pm closing time. As we walked down the street, he suggested we take a detour through the garden. Suddenly, Blake began his speech and got down on one knee, and we both started tearing up. It was very sweet. Blake had flown in my family, along with his mom and godparents, who surprised us after to congratulate us and celebrate. They had gone back to our apartment to set up champagne, cake, and flowers, and then Blake had arranged a private dinner for us at Lure in Soho, which was the perfect way to cap off such a special day.

As a fashion designer based in New York City, the bride decided to design her wedding dress after trying on styles that didn’t quite capture her vision. Wanting something runway-worthy and vintage-inspired, she created a two-piece look with a silk duchesse satin corset adorned with rosettes and traditional hand-sewn cording paired with a voluminous skirt featuring intricate draping and hand-appliquéd French lace. She completed the look with a cathedral-length lace-trimmed veil. Later in the evening, she switched into a sleek bias-cut silk skirt for dancing. She also designed her welcome party dress, which was graciously gifted to her by Diane von Furstenberg. Inspired by the process of creating these two looks, she launched her bridal line, Seline Meisler, to offer brides high fashion options for their big day.

[/field]
[field title=”Bridesmaid Dresses”]

Seline, while a designer for Diane von Furstenberg, created the bridesmaids’ dresses using an iconic DVF print, recolored to fit the wedding’s romantic vibe. One dress was made from bias-cut silk chiffon, and the other from Diane’s signature silk georgette, both in the same print but with different fabric qualities. These dresses were for her two sisters, who stood with her at the chuppah. She also had a group of friends as honorary bridesmaids, each choosing their mismatched looks that complemented one another. For getting ready together, Seline sourced vintage floral silk robes for all the girls.

The groom wore a custom shawl collar tuxedo from Enzo Custom with bespoke embroideries, sterling silver and black onyx cufflinks, and Carmina leather Oxford shoes. His two groomsmen complimented him in coordinating black tuxedos.

The couple embraced the culinary magic of Parker Palm Springs, highlighting seasonal ingredients sourced from the hotel’s gardens. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony with freshly squeezed lemonade made from the property’s lemons. Cocktail hour featured signature drinks like a refreshing paloma with homegrown grapefruits and a limoncello cocktail, nodding to the Italian countryside vibe. Creative hors d’oeuvres like crudo on endive and lamb lollipops set the tone for a dinner that was both fresh and inventive. The top-shelf bar kept the celebration lively, with espresso martinis stealing the show at the reception. Late-night bites of fried chicken sandwiches and grilled cheeses with tomato soup were an unforgettable hit to end the night on a delicious high note.

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Drawing inspiration from her love of all things vintage, the bride collaborated with Archive Rentals to create a stunning mix of antique elements, including mismatched floral china, vintage crystal and glassware, and intricate silverware. The ceremony featured soft blush and ivory florals, with flowers lining the aisle and a floral chuppah draped in a vintage tablecloth sourced by the bride. For dinner, they walked through an arched hedge into a magical garden setting with long tables draped in Stradley Davidson off-white floral embroidered tablecloths and illuminated by string lights where vintage bud vases filled with florals and vintage vessels full of fruits adorned the tables. The bride added her personal touch with a vintage tablecloth for the cake table, completing the timeless and romantic vision.

[/field]
[field title=”Wedding Cake”]The wedding cake, crafted by Parker’s pastry chef Chantal Carter, was a stunning realization of the bride’s vision. Decorated with fresh figs, dried rosebuds, and sprigs of thyme, the whimsical design featured thickly piped icing over layers of lemon lavender cake with raspberry jam filling.

[field title=”Readings, Ceremony Music, Reception Songs”]

The ceremony was led by the rabbi, who shared heartfelt stories from the bride and groom about what they love most about each other, making the moment feel deeply personal and meaningful. The couple walked down the aisle to the beautiful sounds of a string trio. For their first dance, they chose Sam Cooke’s Nothing Can Change This Love.

The couple learned where they were getting married while on vacation in Europe. Bride Courtney explains, “Sander and I were there for New Year’s, and my mom called us and said, ‘I booked Blue Hill for your wedding.’ So, it was a surprise, but how do you argue with that? You can’t!” They weren’t unfamiliar with the 2-star Michelin restaurant’s name – during the Pandemic, Blue Hill transitioned to a market to sell food grown at its farm in Westchester County. The couple made regular visits there for groceries. Courtney has always loved flowers – growing up, she watched her mother make floral arrangements for holidays, and she and Sander like to have fresh bouquets in the home. They had a starting vision for their wedding day, which became crystal clear as they drew inspiration from the natural beauty of Stone Hill at Stone Barns. Their wedding was scheduled for early June when Blue Hills’ grounds are at peak flourish. “I wanted tons of greenery and all white flowers to continue the dewy coming-of-spring green and white theme,” Courtney adds.

[/field]
[field title=”Proposal Story”]

Courtney and Sander decided to host for her family Thanksgiving during their first year of living together. They put together a menu with ingredients from the local farmers market, then settled into the kitchen to spend Thanksgiving Day preparing and cooking together (a favorite pastime of theirs, hosting or not). As they ran through recipes, Courtney was overcome with a deep sense of gratitude for Sander, who had fully committed to honoring her family’s tradition (growing up in Europe, he never celebrated the holiday). At that moment, and much to her surprise, Courtney proposed. Getting engaged had been discussed – Sander was working with a jeweler in a nearby city, but the ring wasn’t ready yet. Courtney remembers, “He jokingly demanded one, so I made a ring out of some pastry dough lying around on the counter.”

‘I was never someone who envisioned a wedding dress, and wasn’t even sure of what I liked,” Courtney admits, noting that her initial searches were coming up short. Accompanied by her mom and friends on a weekend trip to New York City, Courtney scheduled appointments at Oscar De La Renta and Monique Lhuillier, believing that she would find something by one of the celebrated bridal designers. In the end, it was a ballgown by Oscar De La Renta that captured Courtney’s heart. Her breathtaking choice featured a strapless bodice giving way to a diaphanous skirt as petal-rich flowers with sequin and bead embroidery cascading from top to bottom. Reflecting on that moment, the bride says, “I found my dress and was more certain than I thought I’d ever be. It was perfect, I felt so beautiful and so much like me at the same time.”

Courtney praises Blue Hill at Stone Barns for the hospitality and professionalism that was shown to the couple and their guests. She looks back and says, “We’ve had some amazing meals together and had the most incredible meal at Blue Hill the night of our wedding. Fresh asparagus with pickled mushrooms and smoked ricotta, poached halibut in pea broth with pistachios, and finally grass-fed beef with asparagus and Otto file. It was unforgettable and so special for us to get such a treat for our wedding.”

[/field]
[field title=”Florals & Decor”]

Courtney and Sander exchanged vows in an intimate, outdoor ceremony in Blue Hill’s courtyard before family and friends. The bride carried an organic, all-white bouquet composed of white peonies, ranunculuses, roses, lisianthus, and baby’s breath with touches of greenery. Décor complemented the verdant setting – a ‘living’ aisle led to a simple backdrop of floral arrangements raised on pedestals. “I love the huge tree so much and didn’t want a flower arch obstructing it,” the bride mentions. The reception took shape with three unique centerpiece styles starting with the head table, which was topped with a series of small arrangements displaying white and pale pink peonies, tulips, baby’s breath, spray roses, and ranunculuses illuminated by floating candles. Other tables featured low and high centerpieces composed of seasonal florals and greenery, which brought a sense of enchanted romance to the rustic stone interior.

The couple performed the Viennese Waltz for their first dance. “Having both taken dance classes here and there, we thought it would be fun to learn together,” Courtney says. Rich in history and considered the oldest of all the ballroom dances, it is twice the speed of the regular waltz. “It was hard, though! And took us about eight months to fully learn,” she adds. Everyone agreed; they pulled it off like seasoned pros.
