Carolyn and Simon’s Hotel Ella was hosted on a gorgeous October day. This wedding doesn’t look anything like the fall season and as some might say, we’re here for it. This wedding feels like a refreshing spring day with all the elegant details of a formal winter wedding. Seriously, we love how beautifully the styles from this wedding blended. If Southern Weddings was still around, it could have been plucked right out the pages of any of their issues!

Wedding Dresses

Carolyn and her ladies were absolutely stunning. Carolyn’s fitted, off the shoulder fit and flare was perfection. The classic navy dresses on the bridesmaids were a vision with the pops of pink, yellow, orange and soft blue from the bouquets. Speaking of bouquets, the pink peonies are everything, don’t you think?! Man oh man. It’s hard to beat the beauty of a peony.

Personal Details

We adore how Carolyn and Simon incorporated their sweet pup through their bar signage. The monogram of “The Hieberts” on the greenery outside was fabulous! We also love that they selected a band - they knew their crowd was going to want to party it up. They may have even jumped up on stage a time or two. It was so much fun seeing them really ENJOY the day and stay in the moment!
