Finding the balance between trendy and timeless
Jacky Grotle
Ashley and Carmine’s wedding was the perfect blend of cathedral elegance with modern flair. By pairing a traditional white palette and classic Jordan almond favors with cascading amaranth and a sea of warm candlelight, they created a day that felt both rooted in history and vibrantly current.
As we look toward 2026, the "it" factor isn't a specific color or flower—it’s intentionality. Ashley and Carmine achieved this by honoring family traditions while letting their personalities shine through bold florals and playful signage.
To make your wedding feel just as intentional, start with the feeling you want to evoke. Focus on the small, meaningful moments that represent your love story:
Deepen the Connection: Write personal letters to each of your guests, or carve out time for a private vow reading away from the crowd.
Curate the Experience: Swap standard cocktail hour appetizers for the comfort foods you and your partner actually love.
Set the Vibe: Whether you’re a "big party" couple or dreaming of an intimate, candlelit dinner, mix eras and trends freely—but only if they bring you joy.
When you design for your own happiness rather than the latest viral trend, your wedding becomes truly timeless.
