Elegant table settings. Colorful and vibrant floral centerpieces. Open outdoor scenery. Beautifully decorated indoor ballrooms and reception spaces. Candles, lanterns, greenery. Linens and twinkle lights. Deep contrasting colors or creams and blue tones. Ceremony and reception details can vary so much but they are all equally as beautiful and fun to photograph!

Last year I had the privilege of photographing so many stunning ceremonies and receptions. Some were smaller and intimate while others were larger gatherings. There were elevated and elegant ones, rustic and chic ones, and there was even a boho style. One reception even had tiny little jars of homemade jam the bride’s grandmother made as favors for each table setting! It was such a beautiful, personal touch that everyone loved!

Ceremony and Reception Visions

I absolutely love all of the different themes, colors, and looks a wedding can take on. For all my brides that have to choose and narrow down the style, theme, and colors of their wedding day, I feel for them. I am so in love with so many different ones that if I was a bride today I would have such a hard time choosing! Blush tones are very popular and they add softness. The big, bright pinks of peonies in the early summer mixed with whites and greens adds pop. Ceremony arches are another area that you can be super creative! They can take on any shape! We saw so many different, florally decorated arches. From triangle to a handmade octagonal shape a bride’s dad made himself! My brides and grooms are so creative in their wedding visions! I just can’t wait to see what this upcoming season has in store and what new trends are on the rise.
