What makes a wedding such a standout? Well, there are many factors to consider. It could be a couple that bucks tradition or the most picture-perfect setting for a ceremony. It might be a memorable family-style meal or a DJ who knows how to keep a party going.
Brides like Canadian photographer Maya Fuhr, who hosted her guests at an Airbnb in Malibu, know that the right setting can set the tone. Meanwhile, design pro Athena Calderone invited her guests to Italy for a vow renewal marking 25 years with the love of her life. Actor Brandon Flynn and writer and director Jordan Tannahill fell in love off-Broadway and took a memorable Vespa ride to their afterparty celebration.
The most important thing that shines through at all the top weddings is love, and its infectious ability to spread like wildfire. Keep scrolling for some of our favourites to fill your Pinterest board—and make your heart swell while you’re at it.
