A secluded & magical wedding in a golden lit lavender field in Croatia

A secluded & magical wedding in a golden lit lavender field in Croatia

Sara and Kody arrived from Colorado to have an intimate wedding ceremony on the Adriatic Coast in Croatia, Island of Hvar. They arrived with their parents and closest friends for their handfasting ceremony in a gorgeous lavender field in the middle of the island. They are super adventurous and loved the idea of an outdoor ceremony in an unusual place.

In Romania, we kept the ceremony traditional, which is itself offbeat because it’s like a time capsule — orthodox traditions reminded me of this year’s Met Gala. For the LA party, I wanted all local greens: palms to match the invites (and bridesbabes getting-ready outfits!) and succulent gold terrariums and little vases that doubled as favors. I wanted my 12 bridesmaids to pick their own dresses. The only rules were to pick a metallic or navy blue outfit they would love.

Michaela and Jeremy comprise the gorgeous pair we’re seeing in these photos from their Old Hollywood-inspired Prague wedding bedecked in sequins and glamour. But I know what you’re thinking: WHO ARE THE PUPPIES? When you see their feathered dresses and adorable suits, that’s an understandable question. This couple rocked a wedding party comprised of three puppers (and nine human companions, too).

This grey dress at this winter wonderland Czech wedding is making our lives

Couples planning snow-covered winter weddings, this one is for you. Eliška and Ondra were married in an old mountian house in the Czech Republic built in the middle of 19th century. Eliška wore a flowy grey gown made of our wildest snowy goth wedding dreams, and the decor smacked of dark forest romance. Branches and black coal in jars added a cool and clean edge to the everything. All the food was homemade and heated on the fire stove, keeping things totally authentic and amazing. Let’s bask in the cold glow of this Czech wedding.
