A stunning riverside wedding on a cold November day in Connecticut

Ebony and Henry were married on a very cold Connecticut November day at the Riverhouse at Goodspeed Station. But the sun was shining and their sweet first look warmed us all up. Their reception was covered in sparkles, purple accents, antique books, and delicious treats.

Don’t miss the rustic birch-inspired cake, succulent placecards/favors and the very fun chalkboard guest book.

Torrential downpours in San Diego didn’t stop Katie and Mike from having one hell of a wedding. Green Acres’ glass building was a gorgeous industrial meets rustic indoor space. They described their wedding as Sons of Anarchy chic meets farmhouse vibes meets modern warehouse. And just wait until you see the dessert table that had amazing donuts.

Don’t miss Katie’s first dance with her son…

A Virginia backyard wedding with Lord of the Rings details

Quarters Farm was not only a beautiful place for Krystyn and Joe to celebrate their wedding day but is also close to their hearts. Joe grew up in the family home on the property. The bed and breakfast and barn were transformed into the most gorgeous wedding space, too. Their casual boho vibe included elements of Lord of the Rings, one of the couples’ favorite series. They also planned events and outfit changes to celebrate Joe’s Scottish heritage, including Highland games. Don’t miss all of their decor touches, much of which was handmade by Krystyn’s sister. Keep an eye out for a huge “One Ring,” jars of wildflowers, a flower dude, and loads of kilts…
