I see you sneaking up on us Fall, but I'm not quite ready to let go of summer! This bright and cheerful shoot coordinated by
Wedding Story Events and photographed by the talented
Love is Wedding is the perfect inspiration to keep us summer-lovin' in this last week of August. Take a journey with me through this sunshine citrus-tone wonderland!

Doesn't our bride look absolutely radiant in the
Anais gown?! This strapless beauty has delicate layers of ivory silk charmeuse, French lace, and hand beaded floral tulle with the finest Guipure lace trimmed hem. With an easy sweep train, this gown is light, airy and ever so decadent! Keep the bodice sheer like this version, or line it for more coverage; that's the beauty of our gowns, we customize all day long! I also just love the way
Created by Carley styled our bride's hair and makeup with this gown; so chic for a joyful summer wedding!

This is why I adore a first look...for these moments right here! It's not often we get to capture the candid, sweet moments with our significant other, which is why a first look is such a special opportunity to do so. A little time together before the day sweeps you off your feet, seeing your love helps settle the nerves and gives you a chance to remember why you planned this epic party in the first place! This duo is just gorgeous, and so are these wedding details. I'm loving the flat lays showcasing our
Giselle lace wedding shoes against the vibrant color and subtle stone elements like the ring box and suit by
Friar Tux. What a chic couple!

This entire wedding is so lush and full of life and color.
Xquisite Floral Design did a fantastic job with florals and the existing beauty at
The Maxwell House doesn't hurt! As much as you can't go wrong with muted tones, it's nice to switch it up with pops of bright orange, coral, yellow, and of course pulling in some greenery is always a must, especially for a summer wedding. The table setting elements (hello summer fruits!) and that cake by
Sweet Songbird Bakery are just perfection, I wish I was there to sneak a slice!

At the end of the day, it's all about the two of you...walking hand in hand to your next adventure. Enjoy your summer soiree, but after the party is over, the best is yet to come!
