It’s all about the color in this gorgeous garden wedding! Leesa and Paul were married at a private Sacramento residence and partied on at a nearby country club. At both venues, the details popped and poured over with bright and playful colors. The chuppah consisted of luscious bloom-covered archways, connected by a tallit to provide the canopy. Paul and his gentlemen were dapper in their navy blue blazers and green pants. His grooms-woman even tied in — literally — with the group in her navy blue dress and the fellas’ tie whimsically tied around her waist! These kinds of details make a wedding junkie swoon.

Guests enjoyed a delicious reception! Want proof? Check out that dessert spread! And Leesa and Paul can dance! Check out their moves on the floor. They are clearly so in love!

Mazel tov, Leesa and Paul!

David and Candace were high school sweethearts who met in their junior and sophomore years respectively. It was literally love at first sight as Candace was stunned by the gorgeous prism of colors within David’s eyes. They continued dating throughout high school and college and are both finishing up their post-graduate degrees.

David and Candace’s wedding took place on a gorgeous summer day in New Jersey at a country club. The bridesmaids wore hot pink and the groomsmen complemented their outfits with matching boutonnieres. Candace kept the pink trend going with dusty pink shoes and roses including a locket with her grandparents’ wedding photos. The reception had its own color scheme of orange, purple, and green centerpieces! David and Candance also created table numbers with their photos at various ages. They share a warm and fun kind of love and it showed throughout their whole wedding!

Jennifer and David were married in a dreamy estate with attention to the finest details. The key to the wedding at the groom’s sister’s home was simple elegance: Lush, creamy blooms and sturdy succulents showered the wedding in greenery for a classic and timeless style guide. Hurricane lamps helped create romantic candle lighting as the night grew dark. The pool house, which was the ceremony location, was recently featured in Veranda Magazine and the estate was decorated by the Obama White House interior decorator.

And even with such emphasis on style and the latest in wedding trends, Jennifer and David incorporated their fun personalities by threading an inside joke with a traveling sock puppet that they photograph everywhere they go! Yes, the sock puppet was used as the ring bearer pillow and for ridiculously fun shots, making appearances as the life of the party at the reception.

Caety and Matt enjoyed a wedding day full of simple beauty. From soft, muted colors with small pops of greens and blues to a flowerless-but-inviting chuppah that symbolized the couple’s first married home, this wedding was everything a Jewish wedding should be: warm, traditional, and happy.

And by happy, I mean joyful. Gleeful. Ecstatic. Caety’s perma-smile solidifies her beautiful bridal look, and Matt could not look more proud to become her husband. I don’t know them personally, but I’ll be they’re a pretty fun couple.

Mazel tov, Caety and Matt!

Kate was busy finishing her nursing degree right before the big day. That left the Eugene to take care of all the important final details. He did an amazing job! Both bride and groom are from former Soviet Union who left the country many years ago and met in America.

The wedding day started at the bride’s parents house in New Jersey where the first look took place in the front yard. The bridal party went to Liberty State Park for some wonderful photo opportunities with the NYC skyline and Statue of Liberty. The wedding party arrived at Addison Park to allow time for family formals and the ketubah ceremony. The couple got married under the chuppah, bathing in the light of the setting sun with amazing sounds of the string orchestra. The reception room was decorated and lit beautifully and the music was classic and timeless. They danced, laughed, toasted, kissed, and danced some more.

Mazel tov, Kate and Eugene!
