Our Favorite Winter Wedding Trends

It’s cold, it’s grey, you’ve got post-holiday bloat (what’s up Valentine’s day candy), and there is a potential for snow. WHY NOT GET MARRIED!

REAL WEDDING: Alanna + Blaine at Salvage One in Chicago

All this winter weather has me feeling sentimental over Alanna and Blaine’s wedding last December in Chicago! These two were the absolute sweetest and their love warmed up the chilly winter day! Not to mention they got married in one of the coolest spots in Chicago- Salvage One, an architectural salvage store where you use the antique tables and chairs as your seating!

Featured Vendor: Jenny Fu Studio

We are so excited to feature our dear friend and incredible photographer Jenny Fu in today’s post! We first worked with Jenny in 2019 and have been fan girls ever since! Jenny is such a warm and fun person that is a total joy to have by your side on wedding day.

REAL WEDDING: Lindsay + Owen at Brooklyn Winery

We can't believe that it's been a year since Lindsay and Owen's colorful and autumnal wedding at Brooklyn Winery. This wedding is timeless though!

Wedding Inspiration: Send Off Ideas

We love a creative wedding send-off! It’s such a playful way to amp up your exit! The original send-off, of course, was throwing rice as a symbol of wealth, fertility, and good health for the newlyweds! But these days it’s all about the photo op! And rightfully so, as wedding send-offs create joyful and FUN photos!

REAL WEDDING: Dillon + Stephen at the Prospect Park Boathouse

Dillon and Stephen got married in May of 2022 at the Prospect Park Boathouse. Their wedding showcased their love and devotion to each other and their community in an iconic Brooklyn affair! It was a definite highlight of my spring season so take this little trip down memory lane with me!

Featured Venue: Long Hollow Gardens

Just outside Nashville, in Gallatin, Tennessee you will find the most magical of wedding venues in Long Hollow Gardens. During the week, Long Hollow is a living, working nursery, with plants filling every corner of the shop.

1980's Wedding Trends Are Back!

In an article recently, The New York Times compared this year’s weddings to those of the 1980’s. And not just 2022’s record number of weddings, rivalling that of 1984 (experts are expecting 2.5 million - WOWZA!), but also in trend. The 80’s are making a comeback! We thought it would be fun to see how our own clients are embracing these gorgeous trends. Check it out:
