For Courtney and Andrew, the when and the where were the two hardest questions to answer when they got started wedding planning. Thankfully, Courtney had received a tip from a friend about in-season flowers, which made all the difference and helped them nail down a date. “I’d heard that out-of-season flowers are extremely expensive so it would be most practical to book our wedding around the season of my favorite flower,” she says. “I had decided that I really wanted […]
With last month’s New York Bridal Fashion Week fresh in our minds, Meghan Markle’s aisle style reminded us of the throes of minimalist wedding dresses that appeared on the runways for Spring 2019 collections.

Now that it’s officially Spring — even if it doesn’t feel like it quite yet — we can finally start swooning over all things pretty and floral! And we couldn’t think of a better place to start than with spring wedding dresses.

With the legalization expanding around the United States, the trend of cannabis weddings is budding.

Sleeveless reigns supreme in the world of bridesmaids dresses. And it makes sense when the peak of wedding season overlaps with the summer, but depending on the wedding — such as a winter soiree or a conservative ceremony inside a church — a sleeveless silhouette isn’t always practical. Beyond that, we know that not everyone is as comfortable showing off their skin, and for a day that’s going to be heavily photographed, everyone should be able to find a dress […]
