Destination Wedding Look Book
Island Vibe
Capture the relaxing spirit of Hawaii for your event. Blend soft colors into your wardrobe and floral selections to make it feel beachy. Finishing touches might include greeting guests with leis, a chilled white towel or a refreshing island mocktail at the conclusion of the ceremony.
Laid-Back Natural
For a fresh aesthetic, book an outdoor venue with a woodsy ambiance that displays a muted color palette of green, auburn, champagne and bronze. Bring in the natural beauty of your surroundings whether it’s snow-capped mountains, rolling hills, verdant forests or a lush lawn centered within a historic property. Add earthy elements like dried flowers to your altar or an arch made of dried branches.
Pink Passion
Move fun to the forefront with a party atmosphere in a sleek setting. Playful couples might compose their heartfelt vows punctuated with jokes and silly stories. Energetic music is a must, capped off with an inspired recessional song like "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder or "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk. This Miami wedding embraced bold, tropical colors like fuschia and orange and carried the theme through the table settings, floral accents and bridesmaids’ attire.
Wedding Wear for the Whole Family
A marriage ceremony isn’t always just for couples, it’s often a union of families. Elevate your kiddos’ look with special wedding wear that makes them feel confident and confirms that they’re part of the unity ceremony. Little ones can fill the classic roles of flower girl and ring bearer by wearing simpler versions of their parents' ensembles. Older children can serve as junior bridesmaids and groomsmen or even walk Mom down the aisle, wearing the same outfits as the rest of the wedding party.
Bridal Silhouettes
Arguably the most important decision of the wedding, right after the spouse, “The Dress” is meant to express your true self as you make your grand entrance. From traditional to contemporary, or a blend of the two, there will be a dress that says “yes” to you.
Classic Gown
An elegant floor-length dress crafted of fine silk with traditional lace accents is a perennially popular selection.
Beach Ready
Fabrics like satin and silk photograph beautifully in a breezy oceanfront locale as they flutter and float around the bride. A sleek bun keeps hair in place and allows the dress to take center stage.
Pop of Color
Colorful hues are making their way into gowns meant for the fashion-forward bride with designers like Monique Lhuillier incorporating floral elements into their collections.
