Lara + A.J.’s November wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Palm House was the epitome of autumn at its finest. The leaves on the trees had just started to turn. Remnants of the flowers were showing their true fall colors. Set amongst a stunning collection of flora and fauna in the middle of charming Brooklyn, it was full of romance.

A.J.’s blue velvet Hugo Boss suit was made complete with badass cufflinks of Prince and Michael Jackson’s portraits. Lara’s Sarah Seven Worthington wedding gown flowed so elegantly in the breeze. Floral arrangements by Rebecca Shepherd Floral Design and wedding coordination by Field & Feather truly made everything look top notch. It is no wonder why The Black Tie Bride featured their fantastic Brooklyn wedding day!

Andrea and Yusuf’s Firehouse Chicago wedding hooked me from the moment I walked on site. They stayed true to themselves and how they wanted their wedding to unfold — it was authentic, full of sheer joy, and pure love that could be felt by all in the room. I mean, who doesn’t want to have their first dance be to Method Man’s “All I Need”?

A Practical Wedding has also featured this wedding on their site. Click here to read Drea + Yusuf’s full story on how they planned for and budgeted their wedding day.

When a wedding day unfolds perfectly in every way, shape, and form between two super amazing humans that must have been brought to this planet by a Luckdragon, you pinch yourself pretty hard. Katie and Kevin are the said humans in this story. Their genuine love for one another and everyone in their lives is so apparent — it is radiant. I could gush about these two all day. Without further ado, I present to you their wedding day with the in/famous Dirty Dancing dance as their first with a fully successful lift. Patrick Swayze would have been proud of ya, Kev.

Flashback to April of 2015 where the sweetest wedding of the year happened. L + L were married at the fantastic Brooklyn Winery. This super stylish, rustic wedding was filled with warmth, bright colors, love for these two women — all surrounded in the beauty of the winery. Their wedding was also shared on 2brides2be!
