Our very first real wedding of 2016 was a complete showstopper, with two stunning brides who said “I do” in a scenic lakefront ceremony. Both brides donned elegant lace wedding gowns, which were complemented by lush fall florals and bright pops of teal.

From the minute we saw Annette and Jamie’s destination wedding, we were itching to plan a trip to Greece. The sunny Cretan wedding took place just steps from the sea—so romantic! To top it all off, the day ended with a performance by traditional Greek dancers.

This Indian-American fusion wedding was filled with vibrant colors, sparkly accents and unique details, including a paper peacock escort card display made by the bride. We love how Charisma decided to break Indian tradition by wearing a white wedding gown for the reception.

From the bride’s Jimmy Choo high heels to the candle-lined aisle, everything about this New Orleans wedding exudes elegance. Staying true to The Big Easy, the newlyweds, their guests and a brass band paraded through the French Quarter during a “second line” at the end of the night.

We could stare at the oh-so-pretty details from this wedding all day long, but our favorite part has to be Shawna’s processional song. She surprised Derek by walking down the aisle to “One” by Metallica, his favorite band. A non-traditional choice, yet so sweet!

This cheerful fall wedding has us smiling from ear to ear. We love how happy the bride D’Andrea looks throughout the entire day, not to mention the wedding’s garden-chic decor.

A hilltop overlook above Los Angeles was the perfect spot for this couple’s nuptials. Their wedding was filled with modern bohemian flair, from the bride’s bouquet to the eclectic lounge area set beneath a canvas tent.

Alice and Peter’s big day had it all: a scenic oceanfront location, a super-stylish wedding party and playful decor for the ultimate laid-back, beachy vibe.The best part? The couple’s love story began almost 20 years ago when they met in fifth grade!

It doesn’t get more tropical chic than Kevin and Brad’s Puerto Rico wedding. The couple chose a bright color scheme and beachy decor, which were grounded with classic touches including Chiavari chairs and elegant place settings.

This wedding was a first for our editors—we’ve featured couples who have been married on boats and yachts, but never a historic ship! Rebecca and Andrew got hitched aboard the Moshulu, which is based in Philadelphia. They paid homage to the groom’s British heritage throughout the wedding.
