Athletic shoes have been enjoying a major moment—more like a few years—in the spotlight (just ask Chiara, Olivia, and Karlie), and we couldn’t be happier about it. Having the Style Set’s blessing to wear comfy shoes in typically heel-happy places, from the office to dinner dates? Yes, please.

While poring over Florida weddings lately, we’ve noticed one simple but oh-so-luxe touch that instantly elevates a reception—place settings with gold flatware. And while gold utensils give a wedding reception an undoubted air of luxury, they’re also surprisingly adaptable. They dress up a rustic barn tablescape, and they make polished, black-tie tabletops look even more, well, posh. Photos by Cody Hunter Photography…

Some wedding trends come and go, never to be heard from again once their 15 minutes are up (hello, shoulder pads, dangling beads, and up-to-here hair). Others, like naked wedding cakes, have a little more staying power thanks to their versatility and chameleon-like qualities (naked cakes can look equally at home in a rustic barn and an ultra-modern loft).

If you’re like so many other future brides (and regular folk) out there, chances are, you often find yourself feeling pinched for precious free time. That is, time to relax and spend time with your family and friends simply enjoying life rather than worrying about the demands of your job and your never-ending to-do list at home. Image via Travel…
Another new year will soon be here, and with it, a slew of new (or, in some cases, reappearing) wedding trends. As we prepare to welcome 2016, wedding expert, author, and RusticWeddingChic.com founder Maggie Lord is sharing her list of the top trends for next year’s nuptials, and she’s sure we’ll be seeing them whether you get married here in Florida or in…
When you get married in Florida, it can be tricky to pull off a wedding that feels wintry without seeming too contrived—or overly theatrical—at the same time. (Of course, if you love drama, go nuts—there’s no such thing as too much fake snow!) If you want a dreamy winter wedding and lean toward the more natural side of things, go for a…
Whether a petite birdcage or full-on cathedral length piece, veils can add more drama to a wedding look than perhaps any other accessory. But with brides more eager than ever to let their personal style show through on their wedding day, alternatives are increasingly on the rise. (A bonus? Ditching the veil also lets brides twirl the night away without fear of…
We love a classic, white wedding cake, whether it’s topped with plump peonies or covered with piped-on dots. But there’s a new trend taking over cake tables, and we’re simply smitten. Hand-painted cakes are edible works of art, splashed with everything from garden blooms to graphic patterns. With their intricate, and often oversize, designs, hand-painted cakes can add a big pop of…
When it comes to style, most components of modern-day weddings are subject to what’s trending, from gowns (read: tea length) to venues (hello, vineyards and revamped barns!)—and makeup is no exception. Heather Degele (above, at left), regional manager for Kay Casperson Lifestyle Spa and Boutique, which provides spa and salon services for weddings at South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island, has seen her…
