Darling! That’s the only word I’ve got for this shoot. That should come as no surprise, I suppose, since it debuted in designer Beth Helmstetter’s new online magazine, Darling! The minute I saw it I knew we had to feature it — there’s something so Southern about the clean lines, soft patterns, and vintage touches (and, of course, the peaches and magnolias!). Beth was gracious enough to lend us the photographs, taken by the talented Steve Steinhardt. Hannah Bergman directed this lovely shoot, including blooms by Holly Flora, a cake by Susiecakes, china from Z Gallerie, glassware from West Elm, and calligraphy by Laura Hooper. To see all of Beth’s tips for pulling together a look like this on your wedding day, be sure to check out the first issue of Darling!

We have one last treat for all of y’all that loved Christine + Iaan’s wedding this morning! (If you missed it, click here and here!)
Whew! So gorgeous and fun, right? Christine, who is apparently a talented graphic designer as well as photographer, laid out the whole thing herself, then printed them on her Canon printer. A friend helped her score and fold each piece. As she says, “It was quite a job, but they turned out really well!” I’ll say!
Be sure to check out more of Christine’s work and inspirations on her blog here!
P.S. The “uiteindelik” in the URL means FINALLY!

[…] happy like it did for me? My favorite part was the bubblegum pink vintage car and Emily’s Paper Pick of the week, their wedding invitation! Go check it out here. It’s cute in design and cuter if you read […]

I feel like we could spend a week looking at this wedding, don’t you agree? So many beautiful and thoughtful design details tucked away that I feel like I find something new to oooh and ahhh over every time I take a peek! The happy couple’s polka dot was whipped together by Kanya Hunt, Leipzig took care of the beautiful mixed flowers, Sebastine Pepler made Christine look even more beautiful than usual, and Cognito Restaurant catered what looks to be delicious eats. Hungry for more? Be sure to check out Christine + Iaan’s wedding video here, and check back later for one more detail from the day!
Describe your wedding cake: Fun and festive. We had a polka dot chocolate covered three-tiered cake. The first layer was berry ganáche, the second chocolate mouse and the third carrot cake.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? I’ve shot more than 125 weddings and I’ve seen so many different things, I didn’t know what to choose when it came to my “style” and colors. So I really had to decide who Iaan and I were and what would represent our personalities.
What was your most memorable moment about your wedding day? Walking down the aisle, for sure. It was a long aisle and looking at Iaan all the way, was just amazing. Knowing this is forever and my biggest dream come true was an honor and a moment I’ll never forget!
Did you write your own vows? If so, what was your favorite phrase, verse or line? We did write our own vows. I loved this part: “On this special day I give to you my sacred promise to stay by your side as your faithful wife.”
What’s next for you as a couple? What are you looking forward to in the future? We are building our own house this year and very excited about this awesome project!

Oh my! This is all just soooo to-die-for! I can’t help but think of my much-loved Pretty in Peach Barbie from when I was a kid. I thought she was the most beautiful thing in the world! ;)
Love the idea of “real” chairs outside! Looks quite lovely altogether.

Love this, it is just so feminine.
Everything looks so perfect! From the the color coordination , decorations, table setting and even the mood. It’s like everything blend in.
This shoot is so light and sweet! I love the idea of a single bloom tied at each place setting!
