Beautiful Blushing Bride by the Winter Seaside

By Car

I know you’ve probably heard this a thousand times before, but less is definitely more! Inspired by subtle colors and the seaside early morning, this styled bridal session pops with the sparkle of rose gold and the beautiful hues of blues and purples that mimic the early morning sky- warmed by hints of gold! I spent a lot of time looking through each photo, and I’d gladly do it all again because the details are just so immaculate! I have also fallen in love with this talented group of vendors who met at the Engage Luxury Wedding Summit who all wanted to showcase the beauty of the Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island during winter. I mean, who wouldn’t? I’m telling you this is the perfect wedding inspiration for those who love something sophisticated and luxurious without overdoing it! We have Dani. Fine Photography and Image Studio to thank for these gorgeous snaps, so if you want to see them, feel free to scroll down below!

Take this Advice

If someone had given me advice for planning a wedding, I wish it was to remember that everyone’s story is different; your wedding should be planned on the right timeline for you. A traditional engagement is a year, but ours will be two and a half years. The entire planning process is fun, but it can also be stressful and time consuming. Start your planning with the things that mean the most to you (venue, photographer, food) then take a break before researching and booking other vendors. I think it’s important to not forget to relax and explore new adventures together during this process. Enjoy your time engaged, you have a lifetime left of being married! ~Haleigh Dunn/Photographer

Sandy Toes and Purple Hues

By Scarlet

Growing up with sand always on their feet (and in their car!), Lauren and Nick couldn’t have imagined having their big day anywhere other than the beach where they grew up. I just have to say that the best thing I like about Lauren and Nick’s beach wedding is the fact that chose a beautiful and harmonious color scheme – lilac and purple! From the florals to the decors, we guarantee this beach wedding will a smile on your face. Enjoy!

The Bride’s Advice

Sacrificing the sandy feet all day will be worth the gorgeous back drop of the ocean. Just go with the flow throughout the day because not every single detail will go the way it was supposed to be planned, but all that doesn’t matter when all of your loved ones are dancing around you celebrating your life, happiness and love. Take a step back with your loved one at some point in the night and tell yourselves, “they are all here for you.”

Bohemian Seaside Daydream

By Lauren

These are a few of my favorite things: The sea, watercolors, florals, and bohemian style. This rustic styled shoot set on the shore of the Californian sea is a slayer when it comes to nifty talks. Tied in with different elements from great vendors, and a palette of lavender, greys, blue, and marsala, this could be the inspiration you are looking for in your coming celebrations. Take a look at how everything was whipped into shape and tell us what you think in the comment box below!

The Styled Shoot Details

The Tambourine Floral Crown

While tambourines produce musical cling-clangs, this bride’s floral crown was a tambourine of beauty and finesse. Since it was a year for marsala, the headdress was decorated with such color. Slay!

The Tablescape

The table runner fabric colors were a combination of blue,grey, purple and it resembled a watercolor technique to it. Add the white dinner scalloped shape plates with a gold trim and lavender sheer fabric, you are good to go. But, it does not end there. A mix of cutleries of pewter cups, purple goblets, and glassware that had a grey and marsala watercolor style to it was a hit! And, the centerpiece was a clam food party holder which was completed with wine bottles and candle waxes.

Peacock Chairs and Icing on Top

Not your ordinary chair, but as magical as the peacock’s feathers. It was decorated with different wildflowers along the edges of the white metallic chair and the icing on top was the moist raspberry lemon cake painted in a watercolor technique. It was absolutely gorgeous!

Fabric Calligraphy

Wow to the invites and menus which were calligraphed on a fabric. It was a beautiful poem and it was phenomenal. Even the place cards were written on a shell! Note: Do not limit yourself on paper calligraphy and try new textures to write on! Explore!

The Boho Get-up

A fitted sweetheart shape all lace ivory creme color gown was paired with a boho gold style necklace that was carefully handpainted. Incorporated with the colors of the shoot pinks and lavender and gold, it was sure glam!

The Photographer’s Note

“It was a blinding golden afternoon and the tide was high. The beach was making us work for that perfect photograph. It was amazing to see all the creative elements come together. It was my privilege to photograph this beautiful stylized shoot and it was my first time to collaborate with all of them.”

Mexican Knicknacks

By Lauren

There was an unusually perfect breeze at the Cabo summer on that day. Instead of it being really hot, the weather actually danced with the occasion through its fresh, cool breeze. With the Mexican mixed with modern and classic gimmicks, I assure you that your soul will be elated with the colors, the dances, and the love. The beautiful sunset was the perfect cue to the rest of the night. And so, let the fun begin! Scroll down and see more!

The Wedding Details

The Mexico Effect

Carefully selected, all the stuff used to decorate Kayla and Isaac’s perfect day were Mexican inspired. Maracas and buntings of bold colors were all over the place bursting eye-candy effects!

The Femme Effect

Aside from the Mexican effect out from the decorations, the bridal party had their fair share of classic and elegance as they walked down the aisle in their lavender dresses and they gently held their bouquets of vibrancy.

Mariachi Expression

Well, the Mexican effect wouldn’t be complete without the Mexican Mariachi which is the ultimate musical expression some long time ago in the Western Mexico. If you were here, I bet you can’t stop moving those hips along the strum of their guitars and the shac-shacs of the maracas!

The Bride’s Advice

“Enjoy the process because time goes by quick and always share information and consult with your partner.”
