Traditional Elegance in Italy, IICorbin Gurkin is the voice behind the AMAZING photographs from this Italian, oh-so-elegant wedding. It’s a refreshing change from the rustic chic affairs that we feature here and I am loving the soft, subtle palette and the traditionally gorgeous styling.

We actually asked her what her one piece of advice for brides would be and she said… Pay attention to every detail before the wedding, but remember to let go of control on the day so you can focus on enjoying yourself! Enough said. Pretty, pretty, pretty. The space alone is en...

Traditional, Elegant Affair in CaliforniaWhen Lisa Lefkowitz sends me one of her weddings, my heart does a little pitter-patter. She is so good at what she does, so thoughtful in her photography, she just allows you fall head over heels for every single affair. So when she emailed me today’s first featured wedding, I did a little happy dance. Then I saw that one of my all time favorite planners and now dear friends, Alison Hotchkiss, designed the affair and that happy dance got MUCH bigger. The wedding was held at Meadowood in St. Helena, California on labor day weekend, with 100 friends and family who joined the beautiful bride...

A Classic, Traditional + Elegant WeddingI do love a proper traditional affair, with classic styling and the most elegant of brides. Sometimes it’s just perfect to have a no frills, simple yet chic wedding day, which Sarah and Steven achieved perfectly, and it represents them completely. I love the dramatic atmospheric feel of the grand hotel and the black and white images. Thanks so much to the amazing, Leeds based wedding photographer, Toast, for sharing her images today, here is what she had to say about the day; “The pair were hitched at their local church (Sarah could have walked there it’s so local but instead she go...
