🏛️ Unconventional venues

Couples are trading the standard ballroom for hidden gems and unexpected settings, from beach clubs and spas to cozy townhomes styled to feel like a beautiful home. Imagine saying “I do” on a beach with turquoise water as your backdrop. That’s about as unexpected (and unforgettable) as it gets!

Old-school is cool again! Vintage-style record players, cocktail glasses, and throwback camcorders are making their way onto registries.

Film-inspired images with a timeless, emotional feel are taking over. Think less stiff poses, more your love story captured like a movie.
