Tarrytown, NY

This small intimate wedding had a larger-than-life setting. We love how a fairytale castle has us thinking of living “happily ever after.” With such a magnificent backdrop, simple ceremony décor (like boho-style blooms and a pretty pink carpet) goes a long way.

Chicago, IL

Why settle for one venue when you can have the entire city as your wedding backdrop? This intimate wedding took place on the tranquil waters of Lake Michigan — with differing views of Chicago’s majestic skyline as an integral part of its décor. Guests enjoyed exploring the city by water while celebrating a sweet union.

New York, NY

This small intimate wedding has us feeling on top of the world. A city rooftop offers spectacular skyline scenery that rivals any altar. We love how the floral décor ends right at the railing, allowing for unobstructed skyline views.

Chicago, IL

Towering ivy-covered walls add grandeur (and privacy) to this intimate setting. We especially love how a simple wedding arch (decorated with delicate drapery) seems to flow into the white of the bride’s dress.

Rutherford, CA

This gorgeous venue space comes with breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards*. We adore how the aisle of scattered petals leads the eye directly to the natural backdrop of lush foliage that’s been perfectly framed by floral arrangements.

*We are saddened by the California fires impacting events and livelihoods in the region — see this New York Times article for information on how to help victims of the California wildfires.

New York, NY

An intimate wedding can still evoke a sense of awe. Go for a “New York State Of Mind” with one of New York’s many bridges as your wedding backdrop. We especially love how two floral arrangements add a sense of intimacy to the exchange of vows, as well as the metaphor of a bridge connecting two distinct locales, just like a wedding does with its couple.

Venezia, Veneto

You know the saying: something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. We love how everyone, including the couple, faces the awe-inspiring ocean at their feet. Some views (and celebrations) just aren’t worth missing. 

Tucson, AZ

Towering candelabras and bountiful cacti centerpieces draw all eyes to this picture-perfect wedding table. We also love how varied seating and animal-hide linen brought a unique look to this dreamy desert landscape.

Portsmouth, RI

Everything about this wedding reception table — from the textured floral arrangements to the burnt-orange glassware — makes us want to linger over dinner. We also love how the table placement offers dramatic views of the surrounding gardens.

Los Angeles, CA

A wedding reception table doesn’t have to be over-the-top in order to be eye-catching. This simple chic tablescape reminds us why we love understated elegance. Sleek lines and minimalist floral arrangements are a perfect complement to the dynamic LA city landscape in the background.

Miami, FL

A dinner in paradise doesn’t need much to make it perfect. That said, we love how emerald-green glassware and bright-pink orchids pop against the wood table and seating. Candlelight spans the entire table length — ensuring that every guest enjoys the romantic ambiance.

Chicago, IL

When it comes to small wedding ideas, stylish seating, along with artful décor is an unbeatable combo. This setup tempts guests to take a seat and indulge in quiet conversation. Such a beautiful backdrop also begs guests to take out their cameras for a fun selfie or two.

Menlo Park, CA

Patios and lounge areas go hand-in-hand. Older (and shyer) guests will love the opportunity to enjoy the reception band in comfort and from a slight distance — while tapping their feet to the music, of course.

Costa Mesa, CA

You’d have to have a massive space to create such luxe ceremony seating for a large-scale wedding — but small weddings allow party-hosts to go the extra mile for comfort. With such sumptuous seating, we would gladly sit through a ceremony of any length.

Tucson, AZ

We are obsessed with this private area for an intimate, two-person conversation, the perfect post-ceremony spot for the new couple to convene for a quite moment post-vows. Other fabulous details from this small wedding included cacti-laden tablescapes and a succulent-adorned wedding cake.

Ojai, CA

Ethereal white drapery and glittery candlelight transformed this simple tent structure into a fairytale setting. This stunning tent provided privacy, without sacrificing views of the picturesque California landscape. Moreover, a sleek heating lamp resembled the structure of the surrounding drapery — making it an artful (and guest-pleasing) addition to the evening’s décor.

Miami Beach, FL

This gorgeous open-concept tent dazzles with delicate drapery and white blossoms, both blowing in the tropical breeze. We  especially love how the suspended florals resemble strung pearls — while the metal tent-structure evokes the modern architecture of the adjacent resort.

Chicago, IL

COVID-19 couldn’t stop the magic of this heartfelt, socially-distanced wedding celebration. Twinkling lights transformed this simple tent structure into an enchanted space beneath the stars. We also adore how strewn white petals created the illusion of reflected starlight.

Palm Beach, FL

This roofed patio evokes a beautiful tented space with its rows of white drapery. The addition of subtle greenery and wicker lounge seating add a boho-vibe to this elegant outdoor space.

Miami, FL

We love creative designs. So of course we are obsessed with this installation of autumn leaves. The burst of orange, combined with blue-hydrangea centerpieces and blue-brushed linen, makes for a bright and cheerful scene.

Haiku-Pauwela, HI

Ornate pillars and a transparent roof are the perfect addition to this ivy-covered courtyard space. An X-shaped table and leaf-laden chandeliers add a unique vibe to this wedding set in paradise.

San Francisco, CA

Decorate each table setting with an individual floral corsage, and make every guest feel like a “guest of honor.” We also love how modern cutlery, accompanied by pops of coral-colored blooms, add personality to the neutral tablescapes.

Great Neck, NY

Personalized geode stones are the perfect addition to a gorgeous place setting. We also love how patterned dishware and water-colored menus complete the look. Best of all, a mirrored tabletop beautifully reflected a canopy of twinkling lights.

New York, NY

This intimate wedding was as sweet as can be with individual cakes topped with delicate floral designs for each guest. The happy couple also indulged in their own personal cake-for-two (and plenty of sparkling Champagne, of course).

Sausalito, CA

Each guest sat down to dinner and immediately discovered a party favor draped from their chair. We love the elegant packaging (a gift in and of itself), as well as the blue-and-white tablescapes that complement the celebration’s simple (yet dreamy) aesthetic.

Jupiter, FL

We are obsessed with every detail from this small wedding reception. Ornate gold charges perfectly complement the gold cutlery and votives. Pink wine glasses and champagne flutes go hand-in-hand with the luxe linen. We also love how each place setting features a personalized place card.

Westlake Village, CA

While it’s impossible to pick a favorite detail from this intimate wedding, we are simply adore this laser-cut bar. Mirrored paneling creates whimsical optical illusions, while circular shelving evokes the floral-filled wedding reception tables.

Palm Springs, CA

Every detail from this small, intimate wedding was perfectly curated. We love how metallic-copper menus matched the metallic-copper ceremony seating. Other fabulous elements from this chic celebration included funky-purple glassware and elaborate pampas-grass centerpieces.

New York, NY

White ceremony seating becomes the perfect blank canvas for painted florals. A simple boxwood backdrop (with minimal floral décor) allows these unique wedding chairs to steal the spotlight — and our hearts.

Sonoma, CA

Nothing whets the appetite like mouth-watering appetizers. We love how this small, intimate wedding reception featured appetizers that matched the couple’s warm and bright wedding color palette.

New York, NY

This exquisite wedding menu indulged all five senses (especially taste). Guests enjoyed both savory and sweet dishes — not to mention, a chic neutral tablescape and mod-industrial chandeliers.

Bridgman, MI

According to Mark Twain, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right.” We especially adore how this intimate wedding used florals froze into ice cubes to luxuriously keep our favorite beverage at the perfect temperature.

Vail, CO

The dining experience doesn’t have to end with cake and coffee. We love how this couple went the extra mile and offered individually-packaged cigars. “Let the good times roll,” indeed.

Napa, CA

After an intimate wedding ceremony, this couple enjoyed a hot air balloon ride above the clouds. We adore how the wedding party sported colorful umbrellas that matched the photo-worthy hot air balloon.

Laurel, MD

This stunning micro wedding gave new meaning to the words “table runner.” We love how the unique floral garland extends beyond the gold-mirrored table. Other beautiful details from this wedding tablescape include gold charger plates and personalized seating cards.

Courtomer, France

Layers of draped satin make this stately manor even more beautiful — and resulted in one of the most creative wedding backdrops that we’ve seen. Tablescapes of lavish florals and tapered candles also add to the romantic vibe of this small, intimate wedding.

Houston, TX

This transparent bar set-up might be the terrarium of our dreams. Twinkling lights, a crowd-pleasing band, and gorgeous floral arrangements made this small wedding feel like a fairytale come true.

Palm Beach, FL

Turn a traditional chandelier into a unique ceiling installation with the addition of wisteria blooms. Moreover, rose centerpieces and twinkling votive candles add to the romantic vibe of this elegant event space.

Scottsdale, AZ

Guests looking for their table assignments were happily greeted by this gorgeous 3D seating chart. Cascades of wisteria mirror the abundant garden blooms at this intimate wedding reception.

Elkton, MD

This intimate lakeside wedding was full of charming details, including heartwarming ceremonial music by a solo guitarist. Of course, the music continued into the night with a lively dance party of close friends and family.

Milwaukee, WI

This wedding may have been small, but every element was grand and gorgeous. Traditional chorus line dancers, along with seven other specialty-entertainment acts, captivated guests. We also can’t stop thinking about the dazzling tablescapes set beneath arches of greenery and white blooms.

Palm Beach, FL

This intimate wedding boasted a world-renowned entertainment company as well as a heartwarming musical performance from the bride’s two sons. Other fabulous details from this stunning event included luxe floral arrangements and monogrammed ice sculptures.

New Orleans, LA

New Orleans comes with a set of its own unique traditions. We love how a small wedding didn’t stop this couple from partaking in a second line parade. The bride and groom also enjoyed a live band and dynamic lighting installations for a night of non-stop entertainment.

Miami Beach, FL

This small wedding took entertainment to new heights. An Italian opera and string trio performed the bride’s favorite song during her walk down the aisle. The reception kept the entertainment going with a vibrant dance party and a dynamic performance by a live cover band.

Chicago, IL 

An intimate wedding (set at a premier restaurant) can still wow with lively entertainment. We love how this small wedding boasted a dynamic brass band and “out-of-the-box” thinking. Instead of performing on an elevated stage, the band performed right on the dance floor — next to the bride, groom, and guests. Suffice it to say, everyone had a great time — including the band.

Dallas, TX

Mark the end of your celebration with a significant moment like a ribbon or sparkler send off. We love how this couple took a moment to pause and take it all in (with a kiss) before taking the next step into their new life together.

Paris, France

Intimate weddings are full of personal details and moments. We love how this couple chose to immortalize their vows into a work of art. Best of all, the vow books matched the pink bouquet and boutonniere.

Barrington, IL

Even a professional photographer can use a little help from the guests. This couple challenged their guests to capture particular moments. Suffice it to say, everyone felt engaged and connected to those around them.

Carmel Valley, CA

Don’t forget to take a moment to sneak off — just the two of you — and have some fun. At this intimate gathering, guests took their cues from the happy couple, so when a surprise thunderstorm came through, they kicked off their shoes and headed outside the tent for a wild dance party in the rain.

Chicago, IL

This couple hit the town (or should we say, major metropolis?) right before their wedding ceremony. Their talented photographers took them to the heart of Chicago’s financial district and captured magnificent shots with the Willis Tower and 120 South Lasalle building in the backdrop.

Kaufman, TX

After a simple, rustic-chic wedding ceremony, this happy couple escaped for a brief interlude in the open fields. Their photographer, of course, stuck around to capture an outfit change and the heartfelt grand exit.

Chicago, IL

There’s no need to wander too far from home — as long as you have your photographer close at hand. Before exchanging vows on their front porch, this beautiful couple took a loving stroll through their surrounding property.

Courtomer, France

We love how this talented photographer captured this romantic post-wedding picnic. We would happily spend a few hours relaxing with delicious food, artisan wine, and the love of our lives.

Chicago, IL

Cherish every moment of your wedding day by taking time to have some playful fun. We love how this bride takes a moment to show off her ethereal wedding dress (and white balloon) in front of a dramatic, floor-to-ceiling window.

Chicago, IL

It’s no surprise that this happy couple would want to linger in the middle of such a stunning floral wedding aisle. We love how crimson petals cover every inch of the ceremonial aisle for a look that’s both dreamy and romantic.

Chicago, IL

An ombré runner of purple petals adds a gorgeous pop of color to this minimalist wedding ceremony. We also adore how the parallel lines of petals shift with the wind, creating an ever-changing and unique wedding aisle.

photographer: James Atkins Photography | planner: Rachel De Marte Events

Newport Beach, CA

This wedding aisle, reminiscent of a childhood Hopscotch game, wows with its criss-cross design of bright pink blooms. We are also swooning over the golden entranceway decked in baby’s breath, purple hydrangeas, and deep-red roses.

Los Angeles, CA

Look, while we love pops of color, we also adore this monochromatic wedding ceremony with its petal-strewn aisle, lucite floral stands, and mod white seating. Even the cloudy, pearlescent sky seems to get (and make) the picture in hues of pure white.

Left to their own devices, plants will lavishly take over any garden. These boxwood arrangements, however, remind us of the power of human artistry. We love how these sleek designs make for unique floral stands (and bring the beauty of the English countryside into this elegant venue).

photographer: T & S Hughes Photography | planner: Citygirl Events | décor: Yanni Design Studio | venue: The Drake Hotel

London, England

We love how this ceremonial space was transformed into an enchanted forest with a lush, grass-like wedding aisle and overhanging branches. The feeling of enchantment continued into the reception as guests found their table assignments on a tree suspended with 3-D, candle-lit paper lanterns.

Chicago, IL

New Orleans, LA

You see, we love how towering candelabras rise up to meet overarching Spanish Moss. The effect is both dramatic and romantic — not to mention, a scene that’s straight out of a Southern-Gothic novel.  We also love how woven carpets cover the wedding aisle, adding another unique element to this one-of-a-kind ceremony.

“All that glitters is not gold” — or so the saying goes. But the gold elements from this glam wedding are in full glittery effect. We love how modern, abstract chandeliers pair with vintage candle pillars for a look that’s both timeless and elegant.
