Luxurious Paris Destination Wedding

I’m a “Paris is always a good idea” kind of girl, but after poring through this Peaches And Mint wedding I left more convinced than ever. Especially when Paris is the backdrop for a celebration that’s as dreamy as they come. Villa Bret set the scene with a ballroom decked in ivory florals and every last inch of pretty is sitting inside THE VAULT.

From Peaches And Mint… Canadians Ben and Stephanie share a love for globe-trotting, so when it came to selecting a location to celebrate their special day, saying “I Do” in the City of Lights was perfect to share with their close friends and family. Having worked at the same company for some time, it wasn’t until years later that they eventually met and fell in love. Together they traveled the world, including a previous visit to Paris where their love for cozy cafes, the smell of fresh bread and pastries, and extravagant outdoor gardens would eventually lead them back to celebrate their nuptials.

The wedding ceremony and reception took place at the Shangri-La Paris Hotel on a perfect summer day. The venue was chosen for its Parisian history, as former home of Napoleon Bonaparte’s grandnephew, Prince Roland Bonaparte. The Grand Salon ballroom was extravagant, featuring original chandeliers, a marble fireplace, and rich tones of gold and cream. Candles of different sizes and grandeur arrangements of white roses and hydrangeas provided the perfect scene for a wedding fit for royalty.

Led by the cutest flower girl dressed in white, Stephanie walked down the aisle in her stunning Monique Lhuillier dress. Following the ceremony, champagne and canapés were served as guests mingled on a charming outdoor terrace, overlooking the Eiffel Tower.

During the dinner reception, Ben and Stephanie wanted to incorporate intricate and personalized details into the evening by showcasing beautiful Joyce Chua Design artwork and hand-written touches. To the bride and groom’s pleasant surprise, the evening featured a choreographed dance by a group of the couples’ closest friends – that brought laughter, joy and memories that would surely last a lifetime.

Fall Upstate New York Wedding: Chelsa + Dennis

Floral Pant Bridesmaids

The weather may be telling a different story in most parts of the country, but it’s the first day of October, fall is officially upon us, and we’re celebrating today with Chelsa + Dennis’ gorgeous autumn wedding at Buttermilk Falls Inn in Upstate New York, planned by Tinsel & Twine. This darling duo is quite the entrepreneurial pair: Dennis is a founder of Foursquare + Chelsa is a stylist (and is about to launch her own beauty line). Their first date + proposal both involved an awkward, yet endearing, bike ride (read more about it on Martha Stewart Weddings!), so bicycles became a prominent theme throughout their day. Bikes graced their DIY invites, flanked the aisle + were the perfect prop to pose with for their portraits with their photographer, Shannen Natasha. Such a sweet celebration + such gorgeous inspiration for other couples planning a fall wedding!

Inspired by the old hat boxes, we lined our trousseau in velvet, the perfect material to protect your most important belongings.

It’s not every day we see a dark and moody wedding day done so very right, and you better believe we’ll be staring at this indoor beauty designed by Ever Swoon for a good, long while. Dressed up with shades of maroon and gold at the elegant Alder Manor, it’s all the feelings of autumn rolled up in one gallery by Jen Huang. Right this way for SO much more.

From Jen HuangA moody yet romantic wedding at Alder Manor. Andria and Clifford reside in Hong Kong but chose to celebrate with their close friends and families at this antiquated manor. Shadowy florals and dark shades or maroon appeared throughout the decor. Andria wore an non-traditional gown in a cafe au lait tone with a bit of sparkle.

The couple was married outdoors but guests were ushered into a wood paneled ballroom for dinner amongst tall candelabras. A rare indoor wedding with beautiful light and tones.
