hannon and Mike's classically elegant gold and navy wedding really sparkled with glitzy details and a bubbly champagne motif. The golden palette was inspired by their proposal story: Shannon found a trophy at an antique sale and bought it for Mike for their one-year anniversary. "Here's your award for dating me a whole year," she joked. A short while later, Mike had the trophy engraved with "Will you marry me?" and proposed with it!

Golden Apple Styled Shoot

he golden apple appears in various Greek mythologies as divine food, the source of immortality or as a means to depict a hero. And what's more divine, immortal or heroic than love? 20 | Artfully Wed Fall 2014

he ancient Greece motif allowed the team to incorporate laced Da Vinci china, Acropolis gold-dipped flatware and hammered gold chargers, all set on rustic farm tables. Hickory crossbacked chairs were draped with eucalyptus leaves to represent the Grecian gods' laurel wreaths. The color palette of gold, burgundy and ivory was perfectly fitting for autumn. The golden apple idea was integrated in place cards, table runners and a signature cocktail, as well as mini apple pies in jars!

Autumn
Wedding at
Sunset
Alwyngton Manor This stunning 19th-century Southern mansion in Warrenton, Virginia, wasn't Katherine and Andrew's original venue, but due to unforeseen circumstances, they ended up having a lovely autumn ceremony in front of the manor just after sunset. Kat wore her mother's veil, and her mom made their wedding cake dotted with autumn leaves. Each table at the reception was named after a different Shakespearean work.

smeralda and Ryan's November wedding at The Viceroy Hotel in downtown Miami was the picture of modern elegance! The ceremony was set against the city skyline on the rooftop of the hotel. The reception sparkled with luxurious ghost chairs and crystal clear candelabras and table decor - all offset by brilliant purple lighting. In addition to celebrating their vows, family and friends joined in to wish the bride a happy birthday, complete with her very own birthday cake!
