Enjoy!

From the Bride… Given our multicultural families, we wanted to incorporate elements of Indian, Persian, and American cultures into our wedding in a way that felt authentic to us. Our wedding planners at Shannon Leahy Events did an incredible job executing our vision of a colorful, vibrant, and welcoming event. We did the first night – which in Indian culture is traditionally known as the Sangeet – at the California Academy of Sciences where we served Persian inspired food and danced the night away to Persian and Indian music. The second night – the ceremony and reception – was held at the NWBLK, an old sign factory in the Mission district of San Francisco. Indian patterns and bright neon colors contrasted the grey and black interior and exterior of the building. Indian street food was cooked and served outside stations style. Dancing went until 2am with the addition of a taco truck and churro stand rolling up around midnight. Needless to say the food, dancing, and energy were the priorities at the wedding and we were thrilled with how everything turned out!

In October 2016 I sat down in a little Italian restaurant and drew my dream office space on a napkin. By March 2017, I was sitting at my new desk! I love the industrial glam aesthetic, it’s intense and strong yet still very feminine. I feel that reflects my personality in a way and I wanted to make sure that showed in the design. There is definitely a good mix of furniture and decor that help to create the vibe, like the black geometric chandelier with hard edges, the ultra soft blush swivel chairs, and the faux fur throw blanket. Everywhere you look there is some sort of hard element next to a softer one. One of my all time favorites in the world of design is rose gold, and I had the opportunity to pick the rose gold shade that all the furniture would be hand dyed in. I love subtle elements that make a big impact, like the textured wallpaper on the back wall, ostrich pattern side table, and especially the black sliding glass french doors! I wanted the space to be light and bright at all times, so we painted the walls bright white and made sure we had tons of bright lighting. I also wanted the space to be multifunctional. We built a lobby, my office, a mockup room, and a storage space. The mockup room table can be taken away and the area can be closed off by drapes. The empty space can be converted into a bigger storage space if needed on a busy day. This was so crucial for me because my team is always in need of more space leading up to event days! It is always fun as well to have a big reveal during a mockup in the office because we can hide a gorgeous table and then pull back the drapes and it’s a big wow-factor. Everything in the office was picked and custom designed with meaning and purpose, and hopefully it shows! Thank goodness I didn’t lose that napkin!

The wow-worthy gele. The statement, coral beads. The glamorous, gold heels. The absolutely flawless makeup. Ladies, today’s Bride looks fierce, and we know you’re going to be just as obsessed as we are. Aleeka Events conceptualized this luxe, London wedding editorial, which showcases the meaningful, traditional, and clearly beautiful wedding attire of the Nigerian Yoruba tribe. Dupe Gele and Nikita Baffour are just two of the talented artists that collaborated on this shoot, captured through the lens of Amy O’Boyle. And let me just say, it is sure to inspire.

Captured by the amazing Amy O’Boyle, the inspiration for this editorial derived from wanting to showcase the rich colors and glamour that one typically sees at a traditional West African wedding (also known as the traditional engagement), while contrasting this against the rustic aesthetic of the African landscape.

West Hampstead is a small picturesque village located in the hustle and bustle of London. However, it’s not just another London borough. This one is home to a rather special, yet hidden, gem. The Hill Garden and Pergola served as the perfect location as it boasted faded opulence, serenity, and stunning hillside views.

The traditional wedding is a colorful and significant ceremony that requires both the Bride and Groom’s families’ involvement. It is also filled with many different traditional elements such as prayers, the exchange of gifts and money, and a lot of bantering back and forth. Whether it is the food, music, or clothing, for many West African couples living in the UK, infusing their traditions and culture into their wedding day is a must.

For this editorial, we focused on the traditional clothing of a Nigerian Yoruba Bride and Groom, and the intimacy, love, and closeness between a Bride and Groom on their special day. The couple wore the most beautiful coordinating aso-oke (a hand loomed cloth woven by the Yoruba tribe of western Nigeria), completed with coral beaded jewelry, which represents power, wealth, and royalty.

All for Love, an award winning boutique florist in London, created the beautiful hand-tied bouquet and centerpiece. Both arrangements were quite loose and natural, with unique textural elements and luscious blooms. Lola and Blush created a modern stationery suite with gold calligraphy, African patterns, and a custom crest featuring a tribal mask. This is a great way for any couple to personalize their special day. Also included was a marriage acceptance letter, which by the time the wedding actually happens, the couple have already agreed that they will marry. Therefore, the letter simply marks the occasion and expresses the good will of the families to each other. Other details included a ‘Thank You’ gift basket and a two-tier textured cake by Monannie Cakes. We put a modern spin on the gift basket and incorporated popular snacks such as chin chin and plantain chips, cooking utensils and spices, fruits, and African brewed beverages.

The big day has FINALLY arrived. From the second that ring landed on your finger, you’ve devoured every bridal magazine you can get your hands on, created a Pinterest board that dreams are made of and can’t stop watching recaps of runway shows from bridal fashion week. Yes, today is the day you will say YES to the dress.

Before you dive headfirst into a dazzling and dizzy display of charmeuse and chiffon, you will want to consider our top three tips to ensure your dress is both chic and comfortable.

Elizabeth Fogarty

1. Prepare For Your Fitting

Shopping for your dress is one of the most important parts of the planning process so it is important that you prepare ahead of time to ensure you get the most out of your fitting. Owner and stylist of Beth Chapman Styling & Consulting, Beth Chapman, says you should be sure that your date and venue are on the books before setting up bridal appointments.

“It is next to impossible to select the perfect gown for your big day when you cannot envision yourself in the place where you will be saying I do! We love it when a bride comes with her Pinterest board to show us some idea of the aesthetic of gowns that she is attracted to. This provides the stylist with a great jumping off point!”

Kristen Beinke

You will also want to be sure to keep numbers to a minimum when reaching out to your girl squad to invite them to your appointment. Chapman recommends that brides shop with no more than 2 people to ensure you have a successful bridal appointment.

“We suggest bringing guests with you that truly understand your personal style so that they can assist you in selecting the perfect gown.”

Including your entire bridal party along with family members and close friends can often hinder the shopping process and leave you feeling overwhelmed and unable to make the right decision. Feeling like you are leaving people out? Fear not! Chapman suggests involving those special family members and friends in the alteration process or doing a meaningful reveal with them on your wedding day so everyone feels included.

2. Pay Attention to Personality and Personal Style

Chapman stresses the importance of being true to your personality and individual style when selecting your wedding gown. Personality is a huge factor to consider to ensure the dress will look and feel like you.

“If you are a bride who is type-A and is worried about your gown looking wrinkled, you might want to select a forgiving fabric like lace that will be effortless on the day of your wedding. If you are a bride who loves to dance and wants to be fancy-free on your wedding day, be sure to keep the weight of the gown in mind when making your final selection.”

Julie Paisley Photography

3. Shop Silhouettes that Boast Your Body Type

While playing with personality and personal style is important to your dress shopping experience, paying close attention to body type is imperative for ultimate comfort on the day-of.

“If you are full chested (over a D cup), it is highly recommended that you wear a bra with your gown to ensure that you have the proper lift and support of your bust. You should keep this in mind when selecting your gown silhouette. You may have to raise the front or back neckline of the gown if it is plunging, in order to accommodate your foundation.”

Remember to enjoy the ride and take in every moment of your gown shopping experience. These are the memories and stories you will share for years to come.

Colder weather weddings are beautiful but it can be tricky getting dressed for the occasion. Underdress, and you’re likely to be uncomfortable and at risk of catching a cold. Overdress and be prepared to look like the Michelin man.

In order to help you avoid all of that stress we rounded up a group of style experts to not only weigh in on what’s on trend, but to make sure you’re warm wearing the season’s most popular looks. Here’s their advice:

Bonnie Sen

Dress up your layers.

Let’s start with the obvious: wear layers. Once temps start dropping, layering is crucial to stay comfortable between indoor and outdoor locations. Regardless of whether you’re wearing a dress, trousers or even a jumpsuit, Devoreaux Walton, style expert and consultant at The Poise Pursuit, recommends wearing leggings, tight, thermals or shapewear under your clothes for an extra layer of warmth (bonus points for streamlining and lumps or bumps).

Fashion stylist Brandy Joy Smith, recommends dressing up the very ‘of the moment’ pleated metallic skirt and sweater look with a pointed toe pump or sleek bootie. Finish the outfit off with statement earrings and you the have the ultimate cool girl wedding vibe look. Velvet is also trending! Fashion stylist Brandy Joy Smith says the fabric is having a moment, which is perfect for the cold because it offers major warmth.

Upgrade your accessories.
If you’re like me and not one for trend spotting, take a tried-and-true little black dress (preferably with long-sleeves) and fancy it up “with bold accessories,” says fashion expert and tv personality Jessie Kalin Mash. “Add instant glamour to any look with glitter heels, feathers and lots of color. Red is the color of the season. Incorporate the tone in your dress or via your clutch or shoes.”

If you’re looking for a more dramatic look, Devoreaux recommends a pair of leather gloves and a wide brimmed hat which are both fashionable and functional. The trick to pulling the look off is to properly coordinate the colors of your outfit with the accessories. Limit yourself to mixing three colors max. She recommends rich jewel tones like royal blue, plum and evergreen for a perfect contrast to the white and gray backdrop of the colder months.

Have fun covering up.
High necklines are not only on trend, they also offer a fashionable way to stay warm says Brandy. But if you need a bit more help warding off the cold, wrap yourself in a fur (or better yet), faux fur stole. She says they’re not just for the bride and this offers the perfect pop of color for a wedding look.

For a wrap alternative, George Robert Fuller, stylist to the Obamas and Chaka Khan, recommends a capelet. It’s easily removed and provides a dramatic, multi-dimensional look to any outfit.

If you prefer something more traditional, then simply upgrade your wool scarf or pashmina with the unique, textured look of alpaca wrap says Brianne Garritano Owner, Marquette Avenue Events.

One look at the emotion-filled photos by Nicole Clarey, and it’s clear there’s something special about this Scarlet Oaks Estate wedding. The Bride, wise beyond her years, shared her one-word advice that made all the difference in wedding planning: meaning. From the head table – built by a friend for a couple to use at the wedding and in their home – to the carefully chosen wording throughout the celebration, each wedding day detail was carefully considered solely based on its meaning to the Bride and Groom as a couple. Read more about their thoughtful choices below, in the Bride’s own words.

Here are some ways we wove meaningful details throughout our wedding day:

My husband and I decided to write commitments to one another that were unique to us. Not only was this super special for us, but it gave guests a deeper glimpse into our relationship and added a personal touch to our ceremony.

Our first dance song was one that my husband and I picked out together, and we loved the lyrics. We decided to order a tapestry that featured some of the song lyrics on it and use it as a backdrop at our wedding. It was such a unique piece at our wedding, and we’ve now repurposed it as a decor item in our first home together.

Our head table was built by one of the Groomsmen as a wedding gift to us. We use this table in our home now, and I love that the first meal we ever shared on it was on our first day of being husband and wife.

In the midst of planning, I came across so many invites and programs that were very traditionally worded. When we were creating our paper details, we decided to keep it simple, including text that was light-hearted and felt like us.

We ended our celebration with friends and family surrounding us, cheering us on, as we entered this next season of our life. That meaningful moment is one I will never forget.

How many weddings have you been to where you get two choices of registries. I’m guessing quite a few! If you don’t need a toaster and a lemon zester, have a read of these five wedding registries you’ve probably never heard of!

Les Productions de la Fabrik

Thirsty Nest
This registry is for the fun, sophisticated, modern couple, where they can register for wine and spirits! You can select specific bottles and also barware for your new home, and they really have something for everyone. Choose something off their 1-Click-Registry Essentials list, or create a selection for your wedding specifically! This one is definitely for the cool couple everyone wants to hang out with on the weekend!

Give:Tendr
This is a new site, all about allowing couples to register for “gifts that make an emotional, financial, and social impact”. You begin by choosing a charity off their list for a percentage of each gift to go toward, and on your page you can explain to your guests why you’ve chosen the charity and why it’s important to you! The benefits are pretty win-win: It costs you nothing to register for gifts on Give:Tendr, a charity of your choice automatically receives a percentage of every gift you get, and your givers are given the option to make their purchase tax-deductible! The current charities include: Action Against Hunger, Americares, American Red Cross, Muddy Paws Rescue and many more! If you don’t see the charity you’re after, you can always request it and they will reach out to get them on board!

love is my favorite color

Travelers Joy
This registry is essentially like crowdfunding your honeymoon! Personally, I think this is a brilliant idea. Many couples are already living together prior to getting married and may already have a lot of typical home items on common registries. This option allows your guests to be a part of allowing you and your partner to go on an adventure where you can make great, lasting memories! Travelers Joy is free to use, and the best part? It automatically generates a list of all your guests, the gifts they provided, and their full contact information so you can easily create your thank-you cards: insert praise-hands emoji!

Tessa Neustadt

Feather our Nest
On the other side of the coin, you could chose a registry where your friends and family help you, literally, build a home! Feather Our Nest allows you to post photos of exactly what kind of ‘nest’ you and your husband are hoping to create, such as a new nursery, an addition, or a remodeled kitchen. This way, no one has to take the time to wrap a small appliance that may potentially go un-used, and you get to specify exactly the type of gift or contribution you are after. On a bigger scale, you can use this registry to fund a down payment on your dream home. If that doesn’t say “be a part of starting our new lives”, I don’t know what does!

Dominos Wedding Registry
Finally, I can practically guarantee you haven’t heard of this one! I may need to take back what I said about the cool couple- the coolest couples definitely have registered for pizza over high-tech toasters! With the Dominos’ Registry, your guests can gift you vouchers for varying amounts of pizza for different occasions. It’s simple, easy-to-navigate, and perfectly cheesy. We’re guessing the groom out there will love this one!

Goli Parvinian is a bridal enthusiast and masters student living in Melbourne, Australia. Over the past few years, she has worked for bridal brands in her hometown of Chicago, New Zealand and New York City. You can typically find her in a cafe, face-timing her nieces or out on a long run.

When this Bride approached Kirkbrides Wedding Planning + Design with her wedding vision, she described it as a mix of styles – equal parts rustic and elegant. With the help of local venders like Borrow Rentals and Blooms by Plantscaping, they were able to achieve this gorgeous blend, mixing vintage furniture and china with fine linens and lush blooms. Lauren Gabrielle was there to photograph the perfectly pretty day, so if you’re looking for more inspiration on mixing styles, head on over to the Vault!

From Kirkbrides Wedding Planning + Design… This garden chic wedding for Emma and Zack is filled with summer delights galore! Being the second time around working with the Bride’s family, we really enjoyed the process and feel so lucky to have the opportunity to create a second masterpiece for this family!

We first started working together over the winter, and Emma mentioned that she was going for rustic elements mixed with elegance. I called it garden chic. The venue itself, Windows on the River, is a renovated warehouse situated on the Cuyahoga River looking out on the downtown Cleveland skyline so it has that industrial feel. We all know that the mixture of styles is so in right now. We embarked on this fun styling spree, incorporating all the feminine colors of shades of purple, blush, ivory, and gold. The rustic charm was accented by reclaimed wooden farm tables and wooden round tables from Borrow Rentals, a fan favorite here in Cleveland. All tables are stamped with the original location they were salvaged from. It was very important for Emma to mix the rustic tables with the elegance of the gold Vanessa plates and the colorful smaller plates for the place setting that was chosen.

The planning team – Emma, her mother, and I – felt that darling and detailed stationery was a must for this wedding! A romantic font and watercolor and floral design was custom created for us by Lovely Somethings. The floral was a mixture of muted hues of lavender, blush, china blue, and green. A focal point of the entire wedding day was the large chandelier dripping with all of that lush floral and greenery! For the ceremony, Emma wanted a blush backdrop with dripping greens. The place cards were set in wooden boxes of moss, yet another feminine and rustic enhanced aspect.

Cocktail hour was held in the Cleveland Aquarium, giving yet another amazing and fun aspect to this wedding for guests. Where else can you enjoy a superb view of the Cleveland skyline while sipping on drinks and commenting on the different types of marine life swimming around? There was no shortage of sweets at this wedding, from the custom gold leaf designed, pastel, 5 tier wedding cake by Hummingbird Bakery, to the delicious donut bar by Brewnuts! You cannot miss the darling mirror with hand calligraphy by Lovely Somethings as well. This wedding, smack dab in the middle of summer, was something that wedding dreams are made of, and we will always have visions of those donuts displayed on that beautiful antique furniture from Borrow, underneath that floral dripping chandelier in our heads!

When in doubt, add a little bit of sparkle; you won’t regret it, I guarantee. It’s unexpected and fun, for rustic weddings, chic celebrations and every style in between, including elegant affairs like this one right here. Coordinated by 36th Street Events, their dashes of sparkle are just fabulous and Mint Photography captured them all. See this beautiful day below and more in our gallery right this way!

From Mint Photography… Elizabeth and Sean had a beautiful summer wedding in downtown Austin, TX. The chances of rain were so high and the weather wasn’t looking promising as hair and makeup got started earlier in the day, but by the time the reception started the skies cleared and guests were able to sit outside and enjoy each other’s company all night under the stars! We loved the traditional and elegant aspects of their wedding while still incorporating a romantic and fun feel, especially at the reception! The pops of color in the florals along with the sparkle detail here and there created a glamorous look in a very natural setting! Laguna Gloria itself is such a stunning venue – Elizabeth and Sean really made the whole property come to life with their wedding!

When plans for a wedding in Provence fell apart, this couple turned lemons into lemonade and brought the French countryside (and a team of amazing vendors) to the shores of Bali. Incorporating the prettiest pastels, an amphitheater style ceremony overlooking the ocean and a petal toss bar designed by Call Me Madame and Bloomz Fine Flowers, this celebration is the perfect mash-up of these equally gorgeous locales. Pore through stunning images by Studio Ohlala and the cutest film by The Barefoot Bride.

From the Bride…We had originally planned our wedding at a beautiful chateau outside Aix En Provence. I loved everything about Provence and how romantic the tones were, but when that fell apart it was such a blessing in disguise because we ended up with a Provencal wedding in Bali- which was a lot more of a personal, spiritual place for us. And I can’t imagine anything better than that. We had the whole package of pastel tones in the sea, the sky, and the flowers, the breathtakingly peaceful scenery, the magic of Bali, and to top it off an all french wedding team.

We had polaroids of all 90 wedding guests strung from the trees to make it feel more personal, lawn games, a pick your own petal confetti bar, donut wall, and my favourite which was the Splash Zone. It was a large canvas covered in white balloons filled with pastel and gold paints, and all guests got to throw a dart and help create an artwork. Later they signed the back and that was our guest book.

My favourite moment was definitely the ceremony. Our planner worked with Janice, from Bloomz Bali who could not have created a more magical setting. We had Mayan temple inspired arch, an aisle lined with blue and white chinoiserie vases filled with pastel pink and white flowers, and custom made pink, beige and blue and white linen pillows for guests to sit on, with a guitarist playing an acoustic version of the Little Mermaids “Kiss the Girl”- which was my favourite thing in the world because it was my husbands genius suggestion.

Our wedding venue was already the most beautiful place in the world, and was made even more so with all the beautiful details and flower arrangements. The staff at the Ayana Hotel were beyond expectation. For example they quickly realized that Joe liked tequila shots, so there was a waiter by him at all times with a full tray of shots, even on the dance floor! My gown was the most beautiful thing. I didn’t find myself to be the type to wear a big cinderella gown, and then I came across this Inbal Dror piece at Morgan Davies in London and immediately fell in love. It was simple in shape, which perfectly balanced all the beautiful detail. The whole piece glittered. I worked with my planner to help personalise the wedding favours. We had custom scented local soaps with coconut, rose and rose petals, local coconut oil, dried banana and chips, and tote bags with our wedding logo with gold foil labels. Our cake was essentially a naked victoria sponge cake, with an island touch in that the base was coconut. We can hardly get over how perfect our whole experience was. We had the best 2 weeks of adventures like river rafting and diving with manta rays with 90 of our favourite people in Bali, and just when we thought it couldn’t get any better the skies cleared, the sun came out and we had the most beautiful day of our lives. I’ve always heard and expected that little things will go wrong on your wedding day, but with our planner Alice from Call Me Madame it was literally flawless. Throughout the planning process she helped create the wedding of our dreams from the other side of the world without a single moment of stress or worry, and we’re so grateful for her. Most photographers in the region have a different style that doesn’t compliment the whole romantic provencal air we were trying to create, so we were over the moon when Alice suggested Saya from Studio Oh Lala in Paris, who also spends part of her year in Thailand and was exactly what we were looking for. Selecting the right photographer to capture your wedding is so important. We also found an incredible videographer in Kurt from the Barefoot Bride and between the two of them we had the best company and the most magically captured memories.

• What is one piece of advice that you could give brides-to-be? Have your wedding in Bali with Alice. I would also suggest to not stress on small details, and to have a friend remind you throughout the day to be present, because it really is the most beautiful day of your life and it’s so important to really be there. And if you need a summary of me and Joe;

Joe and I met 5 years ago through mutual friends in Los Angeles and immediately connected over mutual interests. I was living between London and Bahrain, and had been back visiting a year after graduating from university in Los Angeles, and although we lived on literally opposite sides of the world it was never an issue. We connected effortlessly and spend the next 5 years traveling around the world together laughing, expereincing and becoming even stronger partners, and now I’m lucky to call him my husband

Whitney Port knows her way around a beautifully styled space, but her latest and greatest designed by Donna Garlough of Joss & Main is next level. She wanted to incorporate a bohemian aesthetic while keeping things light and airy. The result is crisp linens meet layers of pattern, texture, and a pop of indigo. Tour this cool space plus take a peak at her son’s insanely cute nursery all captured by Nicole Gerulat.

The Joss & Main team recently teamed up with Whitney Port to redo a few spaces in her recently purchased Studio City, CA home. The sweetest spots? A new nursery for baby Sonny and a relaxing master bedroom for mom.

 From Joss & Main’s Style Director, Donna Garlough… Whitney’s new space was a blank slate, and it was so much fun to look at inspiration images together and talk about how she wanted the rooms to look and feel.

We knew from the start that she wanted a collected, bohemian aesthetic in her bedroom and that she hoped to incorporate plenty of pattern and texture, but she also wanted the space to feel clean and airy.

Starting with crisp white walls and simple white bedding, we began to layer in natural and neutral pieces with subtle personality, like the woven leather bench and chair and a washed jute rug reminiscent of a vintage Oriental style.

Our team added touches of indigo, handmade baskets, and fresh greenery for a breezy, California vibe. By the time we were finished, we all wanted to move in!

In the nursery, we went for a gender-neutral palette of white and sand, and brought in touches of black, green and warm terracotta in the rug and pillows. 

Plenty of natural materials like wood, leather, rope, and woven seagrass added character and texture. But it didn’t just have to look good; it also had to be a functional space. 

We brought in a twin-sized linen daybed for cuddling with Sonny during the long nights, a sleek changing table to coordinate with the modern crib, and a crisp modern glider and ottoman for rocking him to sleep.

From the Photographer… Sarah and Claude were married on June 17th, 2017 at the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica, CA. The couple, who are originally from TX and now live in New York, decided on an intimate destination wedding at the Fairmont because of their love for Santa Monica. The couple met in a Barre class at the Exhale gym and started the morning off with a 6am private workout class at the Exhale at the Fairmont. Callista of Callista & Co. designed and executed the day to perfection setting the tone from the start with delicate cream and light blue invitations by Written Word Calligraphy, which featured lush cream florals with blue and green accents. The bride stayed true to her easy going style and wore flat Aquazzura sandals with dangly pearl earrings and very natural makeup with beachy tousled hair- perfect for their oceanside venue. The bride rocked a very unique blue/green David Yurman engagement ring and they paired them with David Yurman his and hers bands for the wedding day. The bride has a love for stuffed animals and included one of her favorites from her childhood in the day by giving him a little squeeze before leaving the bridal suite, where she got ready with her sister. Both of her flower girl nieces also carried a stuffed animal gifted to them by the bride- a bunny bride and groom. Sarah and Claude took their bride and groom portraits across the street from the hotel in the iconic Palisades Park before saying their I Do’s in front of just 30 of their closest friends and family under the famous 140 year old, 80ft tall fig tree in front of the hotel. After the ceremony guests were welcomed to a cocktail hour lounge created by Callista and enjoyed beachy hors d’ouerves including mini lobster rolls and cocktails with napkins that said “we met at the barre.” After cocktails guests enjoyed an al fresco dinner at a mix of round tables and a head banquet table decked out by Twig & Twine with floral tablecloths by La Tavola and beautiful white lace chargers from Casa de Perrin. After dinner the bride and groom danced the night away ending the evening with cake from the Butter End and Salt & Straw ice cream for their guests to enjoy on the dance floor or take home for later.

It’s safe to say that you won’t forget your wedding dress on the big day (please, don’t forget your dress!), but beyond the obvious, there are other important fashion items you need for your wedding that may slip your mind. Don’t forget these five super important items!

UNDERGARMENTS
Like your dress, it’s also safe to assume you won’t forget to put underwear on that morning. But many brides opt for something different than their daily undergarments on their wedding day. Whether you’re wearing something pretty or something practical (hello, Spanx), make sure you pack it along with you—and don’t forget about the right bra! A bra can completely change the way your dress looks, so try to figure out what style you will wear soon after you find the dress and hang it on the hanger with your gown.

JEWELRY
Are you planning to wear your grandmother’s engagement ring as you walk down the aisle? Or did your fiancé gift you with a gorgeous pair of earrings to wear with your dress? Try to put these items in the bag with your wedding dress—this way you can be sure you won’t forget them and they’ll stay unharmed throughout the chaos of packing the nights leading up to the big day. If your gown is in the possession of someone else, enlist your mother or maid of honor to hold onto the jewelry for you and bring it to

If your gown is in the possession of someone else, enlist your mother or maid of honor to hold onto the jewelry for you and bring it to your getting-ready spot with them in the morning.

FASHION TAPE
We all hope nothing will go wrong on our wedding day, but the chances of a fashion emergency happening to either you or your bridesmaids is relatively high. Prepare a little emergency kit just in case, and be sure to include fashion tape. The tape will help if anyone’s dress should tear or a zipper malfunctions. A needle and thread and safety pins are also good additions to your kit.

Hello Blue Photo

MORNING OF OUTFIT
It’s likely that your photographer will be there first thing in the morning to capture you putting on your dress and spending time with your bridesmaids before the big moment. Because of this, many brides plan out a cute outfit to wear while they get ready. Whether you bought a monogrammed pair of pajamas or are wearing a robe with your new last name embroidered on the back, don’t forget it!

Be sure to pack sandals or slippers that you can throw on should you need to go anywhere before getting dressed, too.

Jana Williams Photography

DANCING SHOES
You may insist that your wedding shoes are comfortable, but after being on your feet all day, even ballet flats can start to hurt. Throw a pair of worn-in shoes to bring with you to the venue, whether they are simply flip flops (remember, if your gown is long, you won’t see them!) or a cute pair of flats that go with your dress.

Your feet will thank you as the clock hits midnight and you’re still on the dance floor.

It’s a rare treat when we get to showcase not one, not two, but three talented photographers’ work in a single feature, so be prepared for an extra dose of lovely. Below, Sotiris Tsakanikas, Anna Roussos, and Gianluca + Mary Adovasio share their photographs from The Secret Owl, a dreamy wedding photography workshop held at the famous windmills on Mykonos. And if you’re longing for more, WedColors Cinematography captured behind-the-scenes footage along with a sneak peak of the workshop’s other magical vignettes designed by De Plan V.

Envisioning a young pair of heavenly creatures who jet off to the most sought after Greek summer destination, we took this photoshoot to the iconic windmills, a landmark of the Mykonos’s rich, virile past. A symbol of hope, growth, and the repeated circle of life, the 16th-century grain refineries overlook the hill of Alefkandra like a line of eternal guardians of the land. Delicate earth tones and dusky soft pinks surround the snow-white, spherical shapes, which along with the Cycladic-blue painted doors made for the perfect rustic island-hopping setting.

Reflecting on the lavish ancient Greek nuptial feasts, De Plan V brought the details to life using gorgeous rose gold, claret, and Persian apple (the name for “peach” in antiquity) accents in their bold floral arrangements. The wedding stationery by Atelier Invitations in watercolors and calligraphy reflected the hues and softness of native flora caressed by the sunset. Menus and guest tags were neatly tucked under rhubarb-hued cloth napkins, embellished with mother-of-pearl rings. Roman glass, amber tone candlestick holders, and dainty patterned porcelain (alluding to the old artisanal technique of Greek isle embroidery) by White Lilac created a medley of elegance and grace for the couple’s reception. The beautiful marble peach and white wedding cake by Baskit exquisitely set the table for this intimate dining experience.

We loved how Eleni Balkouli from Love4Wed styled the couple. The Bride’s wedding dress by Katia Delatola – with its delicate tulle epaulets, a diaphanous silk cutout, and open back – was ideal for the flyaway silhouette of a young Bride and perfectly matched the Groom’s understated dandy-cut tuxedo, hand-tailored by Teti Charitou.

The Secret Owl is an exclusive suite of fine-art wedding photography workshops in Greece, established and curated by Sotiris Tsakanikas. Inspired by the many faces as well as the cultural, artistic, and historical layers of the land, his courses co-mentor with wedding industry-leading vendors focus on the development of a design-filled branding philosophy, elevating expediency and a unique visual language.

I dare you to find an anniversary shoot I don’t go gaga over. But find one that I totally, wholeheartedly adore, as in can’t stop talking about for days? That’s a bit more of a challenge but… you’re in luck because here we are! This shoot by Laura Ann Miller has me all heart eyed – and looking at turkeys in a whole new light. The icing on the cake?

From Laura Ann Miller… These two lovebirds celebrated their wedding anniversary on a farm in Missouri, and it was pure springtime magic. They reminisced the past couple of years of marriage, and stole sweet kisses underneath the blooming trees. It was the perfect anniversary date! Not to mention, their session got photo bombed by a few turkeys – and no one was mad about that! So much fun!! They ended their date as any couple should, with a picnic and bubbly!

This may be one of my favorite engagement shoots yet. Yes, I’m putting that declaration out there, loudly and proudly; it’s just that good. We Are Origami captured this chic-meets-country styled engagement session… and I can’t stop staring. With the stylish attire and retro car, these two cuties are beyond cool and I’m left feeling inspired and excited – see what all my fuss is about right this way!

From We Are Origami… This was one of my favourite engagement sessions to date! Nathalie and Brendan flew all the way over from Singapore to have their session shot by us in the beautiful Summerlees Estate and their brief was a little different to what we generally shoot; they wanted something edgy, bold and reflective of their love for cars captured on film! It’s always fun trying something new, and it’s even more awesome when it turns out just the way you wanted.

From the Bride-to-be… As you can see from the shoot, Brendan is a car fanatic, a really really HUGE car fanatic. And he remembers facts and figures about automotive history like they are imprinted on his brain, but he doesn’t remember what he had for dinner a few nights ago, and he often forgets when he last placed his car keys or wallet.

Brendan proposed in Austria, in a restaurant that was converted from an old underground wine cellar under a cathedral. He had the waiter balance the ring on the dessert. It was sweet, a little bashful, unrehearsed and completely unexpected.

From Rebecca Yale Photography… Part one of Sarah and Claude’s intimate destination wedding in Santa Monica kicked off with a South of the Border themed welcome dinner as a nod to their Texas roots and shared love of Mexican cuisine. The dinner was held at the Fairmont Miramar where all the guests were staying and the wedding would be taking place the next day. The Bride and Groom wanted all of their guests to have a relaxing evening after a day of travel from all across the country, so Callista of Callista & Co. dreamt up the perfect fiesta on the hotel’s Sunset Terrace right on Ocean Avenue.

Sarah and Claude, originally from Texas and now living in New York, spent the afternoon exploring the Santa Monica Pier before heading back to the hotel to welcome their guests for an evening of margaritas and tacos. Pink by Peach created whimsically calligraphed tan and white invitations wrapped in leather which set the fun tone for the evening. Guests were welcomed at the entrance to the Sunset Terrace with a bar filled with a beautiful display of Casa de Perrin goblets and miniature bottles of Casamigos tequila with hand calligraphed tags with each guests name on them, which matched the wedding invitation. A candy bar with Mexican candies was also set up on the dessert table as party favors for guests to take back to their rooms and enjoy during the weekend. High top cocktail tables were set up around the terrace with bright linens and florals with chips, guacamole, and salsa at each table. The Fairmont set up an elaborate buffet station with a taco bar and classic Mexican desserts of churros and flan for dessert. Guests enjoyed their tacos and tequila while the sun set over the Pacific and mariachis playing in the background.

I cannot imagine a wedding that captures the magical essence of winter more than this one right here. The couple, who live in Abu Dhabi, enlisted the help of the Haute Wedding team to create a glamorous, snowy celebration at a picturesque French Alps chateau, Courchevel. Photographed by Le Secret D’Audrey, get lost in this alpine wedding, with even more awaiting you in the film below by Airsnap.

From Haute Wedding… K and A have known each other since they were two years old, and over their adult years, their relationship blossomed into a beautiful love story that many people can only dream of. K and A live in Dubai, grew up in the UK, and chose to marry in the fairytale setting of Courchevel with the snowy mountains, chic hotels, and endless miles of skiing surrounding them. The ceremony was held on a beautiful terrace overlooking the ski slopes. Fairy lights, candles, and snowfall made this twilight ceremony absolutely magical! The black-tie dress code was up to par with red-carpet glamour, with guests dressed to sheer perfection. The reception at the authentic chalet restaurant, with huge windows and exposed beams, boasted excellent French cuisine, top-notch service, and a unique mountain setting that winter weddings are made of!

The Bride and Groom prepared for the big day surrounded by their dearest loved ones. The Bride put on her custom gown inspired by Elie Saab and just dripping in Swarovski crystals, then she delicately buttoned up her gown and put on her beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker satin bow shoes. She had a moment with the women closest to her before she revealed the dress to her Bridesmaids. Their faces lit up as they ran into the room to celebrate together. Easy to say it was the perfect morning in the ladies suite. Meanwhile in the Groom’s suite, all of the guys were cheering to the good years and all of the new adventures yet to come. Straightening their bow ties and buttoning their tree-stamped cuff links, these gentlemen came prepared. After swapping a few stories, all the guys patted the Groom on the back – he was off to finally see his Bride for the first time. The Groom was overlooking the white mountain side, past the snow covered chalets and over the quiet town in a moment of calm before the big day when his Bride walked up quietly. He turned around to see his gorgeous Bride gleaming as bright as her gown! They shared those few precious minutes together as they prepared for their forever moment.

From the Bride… Alex and I met at an early age – two and four to be exact! We have been family friends for over 20 years, but it wasn’t until our parents decided to set us up romantically that we actually got to know each other. That was over six years ago. Since then, I have moved to Australia for one year to study, followed by London to join Alex in the city, and now we are living in the Middle East! We chose Courchevel 1850 due to our love of skiing, the snow, and the beautiful alpine setting. Genepi on tap was also an added bonus! It is also a contrast to where we live now in Abu Dhabi.

Our wedding was faultless from start to finish, thanks to Haute Wedding. It was a logistically difficult venue to access, however what we saw as a challenge, we turned into an adventure. We were surrounded by friends and family at a picturesque venue, snow on cue during our vows, elegant flowers, candles, fabulous jazz band, and French food and wine to die for. All readings and speeches were both emotional and light hearted and words that we will treasure forever. We have been so lucky to capture all of this thanks to Audrey Paris and Airsnap, with our timeless photos and videos.

Despite the formal black tie dress code, our wedding was relaxed and laid back. We wanted to make all guests feel comfortable, focusing on happiness and love rather than the formality of the wedding. We did this by allowing guests to bring alcohol into the ceremony, choosing upbeat modern songs during the ceremony, hiring an MC who made everyone cry with laughter (also a very close family friend), and offering a round of Genepi to get guests in the mood for a lot of dancing!

This magical day was followed by another seamless, magnificent day spent at Le Cap Horn. The food was outstanding, the weather was cold but sunny, and everyone was in high spirits.

Living in Abu Dhabi and getting married in Courchevel sounds like no easy task, however Monica and her team made the whole process an enjoyable and seamless one. Monica was always on hand to answer any queries and provided only the best suppliers. Thank you again, Monica, for finding us our dream wedding venue and creating such a memorable and magical wedding.  We really appreciate the amount of effort you put into making our wedding the “wedding of the year” and “an unbeatable wedding” ( quoted by our friends, not us!).

Words from the sister of the bride… Alena & Josh are a very special couple. They’ve known each other for a very long time and found their way back to one another in recent years. Their relationship has weathered many storms up to this point, which is a good preparation for what lies ahead in marriage.

Alena is a very special girl – my only sister. She likes pretty things, adores horses and is passionate about helping and caring for others. Josh is a thoughtful man of God who is willing to continuously improve himself and those under his leadership.

I believe through their marriage, their love, their passion and hope for life, their care and their willingness to share their lives – many will find their way back to God, not for religion’s sake but for the transformation of lives and the discovery and fulfillment of purpose. We were blessed to be able to take part in the union of these two lovebirds, and may their love story inspire and encourage us all.

Words from A Very Beloved Wedding… A truly unique couple, with so much love and positive energy for each other and the world that surrounds them with a true conviction to make this world a better place for all of us. Great human beings that will stay in our hearts for ever.

We created a timeless romantic fusion between imperial classic elegance and intimate fun. Both the ceremony and the dinner were held in the place that guards Ruben’s treasures in Vienna: the Garden Palace of Liechtenstein. The dinner took place in the grand baroque Hercules Hall. The colors of the wedding and style of the blooms were chosen to bridge and fusionate the colors found at the classic baroque Garden Palace of Liechtenstein and set the tone of the couple’s loving relationship.
