“Swans are known for forming lifelong partnerships, choosing one another with instinct and devotion, and remaining steadfast through changing seasons,” says Aubrey Rae of Aubrey Rae Photography, who captured a dreamy design inspired by the symbolism of the elegant bird. Aiming to reflect that sentiment through the timeless styling of an al fresco wedding day at Havens Country Club, an enchanting vision came to life. Rooting the scene in quiet ethereality, the palette of soft sage, ivory and blush worked with the oak trees and natural elements of the estate, evoking a romantic serenity. 
Soft lace and ivory draping catch on the wind of the intimate stone courtyard serving as the imagined ceremony space. An image of effortless texture and languid movement, vines crawl up the sides of the altar with beautiful blooms, pillar candles and two swan figurines perfectly framing the bride and groom against the grounds of the estate. One can imagine friends and family lounging happily in the theater-style upholstered seating while watching the happy couple say “I do.”
Delicate and understated without skimping on elegance, the reception scene is peppered with swan motifs. From subtle table accents to the grand ice sculpture, the symbol carried its grace throughout the simply styled celebration. “Every detail served as a quiet reminder that enduring love is often found not in grand gestures, but in thoughtful beauty and unwavering devotion,” says Aubrey Rae.

Given that James and Timmy’s modern romance began with a sweat session at the iconic Barry’s Bootcamp, their wedding day at La Quinta Resort & Spa was bound to be an energetic affair. 

Keen to intertwine their affinity for Ralph Lauren and the midcentury photography of Slim Aarons with the venue’s Spanish-style architecture, the result was a harmonious, one-of-a-kind design. On the lawn at The Grove, Timmy and James were framed by towering palm trees, vibrant florals, and a stunning mountain backdrop as they exchanged vows. Sporting matching white suit coats, vibrant floral boutonnières and custom Stubbs & Wootton smoking slippers embroidered with French bulldogs resembling their own Frenchie, Tito, the couple embodied Palm Springs chic. 

Intentionally playful, the grooms sourced wallpaper featuring fruit and foliage for the bold midcentury modern bar and seating chart. An elegant balance was struck with unique lighting fixtures suspended above bright blooms and subtly striped linens, creating texturally rich tablescapes.

An intimate celebration set against the unmistakable beauty of Sunstone Villa. Liana and Brian exchanged vows in front of a sculptural ceremony installation, where cascading florals, collected vessels and fabric-draped pedestals created an organic focal point against the villa’s iconic stone facade. The thoughtful use of textiles continued into the reception, where white cloth menus were layered over yellow napkins for an unexpected pop of color. Signature cocktails served from honey bear jars added a playful touch before guests gathered for dinner beneath the lights with the Santa Ynez villa as their backdrop. Congratulations, Liana and Brian!

A jaw-dropping transformation inside the white stables at Greengate Ranch. Layers of greenery and florals filled the space, while intricate ceiling draping and moody lighting created an intimate atmosphere throughout the reception. Pops of pink and the glow of candlelight brought the finishing touches to a setting that made an impression from the very first glance.

08/27/2026

Though they share Arizona roots and built a life in New York City, Brittany and Dillon knew their hearts belonged to the rolling hills of Paso Robles.

Thus, for the quintessential California “I do’s,” the couple chose Cass Winery for their big day. The couple exchanged vows beneath a breathtaking oak tree before retreating into an industrial barrel room reimagined with a modern, coastal-chic design. Every detail reflected their shared love of creativity, from hand-built signage and a custom draping installation. 
Their love story, which began with a margarita crawl through the East Village and culminated in a surprise proposal at the Temple of Apollo in Greece, was woven into every detail of the day. Guests sipped signature cocktails, including espresso martinis representing New York City and Aperol spritzes commemorating their Greek proposal.

A warm July day, endless champagne and vintage-inspired details were a power trio for Jennifer and Michael’s celebration at Gouvion Vineyards. Silver platters were reimagined as a seating chart, a vintage telephone invited guests to leave audio messages, and a classic piped wedding cake paired with a dessert table added the sweet side to the event. Inside the reception, potted florals, taper candles and softly glowing table lamps created an intimate atmosphere against layers of white draping. The newlyweds took to the dance floor for a first dance on the clouds, sealed with a kiss as cold sparks lit up the room. Congratulations, Jennifer and Michael!

Ruchi and Akash transformed their reception into an emerald city, color drenching the celebration in rich shades of green from floor to ceiling. Above the patterned dance floor, layers of ruffled fabric formed an intricate, maze like installation, bringing movement and dimension to the space. Earlier in the day, the couple shared a first look in their stunning ornate attire before a garden ceremony surrounded by lush florals. For the reception, they changed into a second look before celebrating beneath the dramatic draping. An incredible dessert display presented atop a glowing ice sculpture added one more unexpected detail to a wedding filled with bold design.
