Don’t miss the stunning sequin gown at this mansion wedding in Illinois
Jana and Bryan celebrated their romantic wedding at the Allerton Park and Retreat Center in Monticello, Illinois. It’s one of those classic venues with grand staircases, huge hedge walls, and a total majestic library feel that has us totally heart eyes. But what made it extra amazing was how they really took the details and made them their own. Case in point: Jana’s FAB sequined gown and Bryan’s custom blue suit.
A NYC winery wedding with Chinese and Jewish traditions and a pup of honor
Sarah and Tony’s City Winery wedding in New York City was wine, dancing, and puppy-filled amazingness. After getting ready at the Conrad Hotel, their first look and portraits were photographed at the park across the street and at The Irish Hunger Memorial. Their dog, Bailey, joined them as their “pup of honor” and posed like a champ. Don’t miss the wine cellar shots!
Sword fights & purple kilts at this dance party wedding with an Oreo toast
Our wedding was held at a gorgeous hall that is owned by a Franciscan monastery, which has little details that make it look like a medieval church (in the middle of Washington D.C.!). My husband collects swords, so our cocktail hour featured friends from the HEMA Alliance (the society for Historical European Martial Arts) performing a demonstration of sword fighting through the ages.
An ultra glam blue and yellow Philippines wedding with Moroccan influences
We had a Moroccan theme with a cornflower blue and lemon yellow color palette. I also did have lemon literally on my bouquet! I wore a sheer prep gown instead of the usual bridal robes. All of our Principal Sponsors blessed us one by one, which is not part of the usual Catholic wedding in The Philippines. The reception had a Moroccan vibe with all possible shades of blue and yellow.
