Who doesn't love a garden party? Add in bold hues and contemporary details, and it's a home run. For this editorial, Brier & Ivy's sculptural floral elements adorned the staircase, tabletop and columns in a palette of chartreuse, bright pink and blush. Cascading arrangements incorporated stems of anthuriums, amaranth, bleeding hearts and foxgloves, among others, making for a lush, unforgettable look.

Full of life, energy and zest for love, this citrus-inspired design is as fresh as it gets. While fruit has been trending recently in wedding décor, the streamlined simplicity of using lemons paired with a monochromatic palette of sunny hues is a welcomed approach. The concept incorporated minimalistic elements including ghost chairs and white pedestals; sculptural lemon displays; and arrangements of daffodils, carnations and forsythia branches to arrive at a modern aesthetic.

As sunshine cast a glow through the grand aspens at Black Butte Ranch, Natalie and Peter exchanged vows at the end of an aisle freely lined with white roses. Natalie was a timeless beauty in her high-neck, open-back column gown, fitted with a stunning overskirt and puff sleeves. Her groom was dashing in his off-white suit jacket and black bow tie. Black bridesmaid dresses were the ideal contrast to gorgeous bouquets of delicate ivory orchids and calla lilies—elegant additions to the centerpieces that lined the serene tablescape. The bride made two spectacular outfit changes that elevated the atmosphere of the celebration, first by transforming her gown from romantic to chic by removing the puffed sleeves. After finishing the formalities, Natalie kickstarted the party in the second look with her grandmother's pearls and mother's altered wedding gown, reshaped into a fun reception dress fit for a night of dancing.

Sometimes everything aligns perfectly in a photo, as was the case with this sun-drenched shot at Hannah and Dom’s backyard wedding in Hood River.
Calla lilies are having a moment. Instead of going with traditional white, this deep purple variety pulled into a monochromatic bouquet brings the drama.
