Brett + Karla, a Dreamy Cathedral Wedding

Lovers Karla and Brett brought together all of their favorite friends and family for a dreamy weekend in the Southwest. Before these angels celebrated their love with a huge La Fonda on the Plaza wedding, these cuties kicked off their weekend with an intimate ceremony at the historic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in the heart of the Santa Fe Plaza.

Alongside their closest loved ones, these East Coast sweethearts said “I Do” in the most beautiful ceremony, one that was topped off with some pretty dreamy details. From Karla’s stunning Ralph Lauren gown to Brett’s sleek suit to the elegant floral arrangements, these July evening was one we’ll never forget.

We can’t wait to share more these babes’ iconic weekend, cheers to the most incredible days of love!!

Wedding Inspo - Groom Style Third Edition

While its true that we have a huge affinity for stellar bridal style on the blog, we can’t help but share a little bit of love with our stylish, dapper, and downright handsome grooms! Not only are these guys total on-camera knockouts, they’re also some of the kindest, most personable dudes you could ever ask for on wedding days!

We love a sleek, traditional black suit or tux, so how do grooms elevate this classic style? Our grooms have tapped into everything, from incorporating Southwestern flair with bolo ties or designer cowboy boots to adding personal touches like a cool pair of sunglasses or a surprise pop of color in their boutonniere or suit jacket lining!

And we’ve had plenty of grooms chose other colors for their wedding days suits as well including blue, grey, tan, and even mix-and-match colors! We’ve loved seeing how these guys dressed up colors other than black for their big day and adored seeing so many unique details including ties with tiny prints on them (from polka dots to florals) to broaches (instead of a traditional bow tie or tie) to opting for unique textures like wool.

Last season we saw an incredible variety of groom style and honestly we’re thrilled to see what our next guys have in store for us, we’re crossing our fingers for a few extra daring grooms with non-traditional suit colors! Until then, take a look at these wedding day hunks, we had the best time capturing each one of these wedding day hubbies!
