Scenic Mountain Wedding in Vail, Colorado

P h o t o s b y S a r a H a s s t e d t

Hello lovely readers. Today I’m sharing a gorgeous, scenic mountain wedding in Vail, Colorado. This wedding is full of stunning views, lovely florals, and of course, a stunning couple. And talk about perfect weather, too. Seeing these photos from Sara Hasstedt makes me yearn for that summer warmth.

From the photographer…Julia and Bobby’s wedding was a destination affair for the two of them as well as most of their guests who were traveling from the East Coast. It was set in the mountains of Beaver Creek. The ceremony took place on a private lot in Cordillera, just down the road from Julia’s parents’ vacation home. The ceremony took place under a white tent with subtle greenery. The florist, Rose, has a beautiful aspen tree structure that they put at the end of the altar. She made a beautiful garland that went both horizontally and vertically. It included foliage swags, white garden roses, ranunculas, andromeda and hints of blue/black privet berries for color. There was an intimate champagne toast held at the house immediately following the ceremony for the bridal party and the reception was held at the Timber Hearthe which was a staple for Julia’s family.

From the photographer…Late last year I spent a beautiful afternoon with the very lovely Brigid & Matt to capture their bridal portraits. They were married the day before in the Perth registry office and then escaped down south, to spend time honeymooning at the picturesque Empire Retreat in Yallingup, WA.

Turks and Caicos Destination Beach Wedding

P h o t o s b y N a t a l i e W a t s o n P h o t o g r a p h y

Well it’s the dead of winter here in New England, and this gorgeous Turks & Caicos wedding is making me dream of summer’s warmth. Set amidst the gorgeous aqua blues of the Caribbean, this wedding had only twenty guests, making it a lovely intimate, relaxed, and romantic affair. Check out the photos from Natalie Watson Photography for yourself.

From the bride…Our friends and family live all over the U.S. and Canada, so it was going to be a destination wedding for our guests no matter where we got married. With that in mind, we thought there couldn’t be a better place to bring them than Turks & Caicos. We got married on a Thursday in order to “get the wedding out of the way,” leaving us the rest of the weekend to have some stress-free fun with our family and friends.

The main thing we wanted was for our wedding to feel intimate. Our goal was to have the reception feel more like a casual dinner party on the beach rather than an event at a big resort. To do that, we kept things relatively low key. We used only one long table with simple bud vases of white hydrangeas. Dinner was served family-style. Our favors were bags of s’mores, which everyone roasted at the end of the night before many of them ran into the ocean – some in their wedding attire!

I’m very excited to share with you, not one, not two, but three gorgeous styled shoots from the Erich McVey Workshop in Bend, Oregon. These shoots were inspired by the elements and were styled by Ginny Au and shot by Anna Peters. Everything from the florals, the attire, to the details are simply stunning. Take a look and enjoy the beauty.

Wind

From the photographer…This couple was inspired by wind. Known for it’s quiet but powerful properties, the wind couple is ethereal and pure; the shoot is filled with soft light blues and whites. As the sun set at Smith Rock state park the wind picked up and created the stunning movement in our model’s Rubicon dress.

Bohemian Countryside Summer Wedding: Couple Shot

From the wedding planner, Giusy D’AmbrosioGovanna and James got married in Carovigno, a small town in Puglia, Italy. In July the weather was sunny and hot, absolutely perfect for a countryside wedding. Both ceremony and reception took place in a private villa, where all guests enjoyed the rich flavours of South Italy food and wine.

Giovanna was gorgeous in her lace dress, wearing a colourful flower headband that matched her bouquet. Her love for simplicity and nature was the theme of the wedding. Centenary olive trees all around, an old wagon wheel as tableau de marriage, name cards with olive leaves as placeholders, an old bell to ring to make them kiss, folk dancers to fire up the after party.
