Real Weddings: Helen + Ross

Confession time.  I love weddings, but there’s one thing I love more, and that’s travel.  So the moment I set eyes on Carolyn and Robert’s gorgeous destination wedding in Tuscany, I was smitten.  Clara Boatto of Chic Weddings in Italy worked with the couple to create an elegant wedding weekend for their guests coming to […]

Simple, sweet, and beautiful, Anouk and Martin’s destination wedding was held at the Sextantio Albergo Diffuso in the secluded mountain village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio in Abruzzo, Italy.  The couple live in the Netherlands and chose this lovely location full of cobbled lanes and stairs, with homes in the abandoned hamlet that have been […]

As you might know by now, I’m kind of a travel fanatic, so I fell in love with Nichole and Tim’s travel-theme wedding immediately. A “guest book” of vintage map postcards, tables named after countries they want to visit, and handmade travel postcards as escort cards are just a few of the little touches that […]

We are are simply in love with this stunning Italian wedding from Cinzia Bruschini! As if the country alone isn’t romantic enough, the beautiful setting of Fattoria Casamora combined with lush and lovely florals from Jardin Divers takes this gorgeous affair over the top. We can’t get enough of the flower hair wreaths adorning bridesmaids […]

We’re pretty sure there’s nothing more romantic than an Italian destination wedding, and we are just undone over Kelli and Gabriel’s event at Villa Cicolina in Montepulciano, Italy! Because the couple was far away from their venue in the United States, they entrusted Chic Weddings to finalize the details, meeting with them on just a single […]

We’re simply swooning over Anne and Richard’s Italian destination wedding! The Irish couple’s plan was for guests to escape for a weekend of sun and celebration. The rolling Tuscan hills surrounding Borgo Lucignanello proved the perfect locale for the affair. Classic sophistication was the rule for attire, with Anne choosing a gorgeous Suzanne Neville gown and Richard […]

Wow—we are just smitten with the gorgeous details of Daniele and Aydin’s cross-cultural wedding in Austin, Texas! These beautiful images from Caroline + Ben show a lovely, laid-back day filled with bright smiles and sophistication. Daniele and Aydin’s Catholic wedding mass at Central Christian Church was followed by a Persian ceremony celebrating Aydin’s heritage, held at […]

Alicia and Justin decided on an intimate Maui destination wedding for their nuptials, and the entire fete is just stunning! These images from Monique Feil Photography are breathtaking, showing Alicia as a gorgeous bride in her Oscar de la Renta gown and Justin beaming in a Gucci suit. Held outdoors at Haiku Mill, every detail […]

Marie and Peter took romance to the zenith when they planned a Paris destination for their nuptials. This entire affair, photographed by One and Only Paris Photography and Le Secret d’Audrey, looks like a fairy tale, from a ceremony at The American Cathedral in Paris to the reception at Cercle De L’Union Interalliée. Bold pinks […]

Constance and Jesse wanted something “elegant and classic, with just a hint of quirky” for their Costa Mesa wedding, and when they found Segerstrom Concert Hall, they knew they’d struck gold! The stark white, minimalist space created a dreamlike vibe for the couple’s ceremony, with classic details like calla lily bouquets from In Flower and […]

There’s no place like home, but that didn’t stop Tory and Will from bringing back a little tropical Asian flair to their beautiful Wilmington, North Carolina, wedding at St. Andrews On-the-Sound. Living in Hong Kong while they planned the event, the couple incorporated plenty of Asian-inspired elements—orchids, palm leaves, seagrass fans, and silk fabric from […]

Can I explain how incredibly difficult it was to limit myself to the amount of photos to post for this wedding? Be warned, these are guaranteed to make you want to fly to Hawaii and elope/renew immediately. All warnings aside, Danielle and Tyler’s Maui wedding is why people think about doing destination weddings in the […]

Madeline and Audie chose the Chicago History Museum as the venue for their classically elegant Chicago wedding. The bride’s gown, designed by Ines Di Santo, is the crown jewel of this wedding. It’s simply unbelievable, and combined with her gorgeous bouquet and lovely pink Loubouton shoes, this bride look is an all-time favorite. David has […]

I imagine that I went overboard when choosing the images for this wedding.  But you see, there are just too many beautiful images not to share them all, and I’ve quite literally fallen in love with the magic of Scotland after seeing them.  So, you’ll just have to forgive me…  Shona and Nathan met in […]

McCall and Dane are probably the most photogenic couple ever.  Seriously, have a look: And, not only are they gorgeous, but they were lucky and smart enough to have Rebekah Westover photograph their Utah wedding, which was completely magazine-worthy!

On the day of Katie and Alan’s wedding, Dallas decided to unleash a massive storm, so the couple and their wedding planner, Sarah of Keestone Events, moved their planned outdoor ceremony inside the gorgeous ballroom of Arlington Hall. And while we wouldn’t call a monsoon on your wedding day ideal, we have to say that […]

Megan wanted a destination wedding and Stephen, a local Chicago soiree, so they compromised by choosing Kohler, Wisconsin’s stunning Whistling Straits for their June nuptials. Any Midwesterner knows that the weather in June in Wisconsin can be a toss-up, and though the day started out gloomy and misting, right in time for the ceremony the […]

California-based Kate and Edward decided to tie the knot in Charleston, South Carolina, and fell in love with the classic and historic aesthetic of the Bennett House. Two hours before their ceremony, a ferocious summer storm came through, drenching their ceremony garden. Undeterred, The Petal Report and Tiger Lily moved the ceremony indoors to the […]

With soft neutral hues and a spectacular beachside setting, Margaret Kyle and Kyle’s Charleston destination wedding is pure coastal elegance. The couple knew they wanted a destination wedding, and Margaret Kyle’s aunt and uncle were married at the Seabrook Island Club, and those fond memories translated into the perfect place to get married! Their vision […]

Brynn and Justin chose the spectacular views of downtown Orlando’s Dr Phillips Center to play host to their chic and classic Florida wedding!
