✨ Tae & Carmen | The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas

Tae and Carmen redefined what it means to celebrate love in Las Vegas. Their wedding was not an elopement or a quick getaway — it was a carefully curated, three-day experience filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories alongside their closest family and friends.

Their vision was timeless elegance, brought to life through a rich palette of chocolate, fuchsia, and champagne. From a welcome dinner that set the tone for the weekend to a sophisticated rooftop ceremony and a candlelit reception, every detail was intentional and deeply personal. We infused the celebration with soft floral textures, luxurious linens, and warm lighting to match their refined, modern aesthetic.

Tae and Carmen’s wedding wasn’t about the bright lights of Vegas — it was about creating space for meaningful connection, beautiful design, and a love that deserved nothing less than grandeur.

🍃 Joseph & Michael | Montaluce Winery, Dahlonega, GA

Surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards, Joseph and Michael’s Montaluce Winery wedding was a masterclass in understated luxury. Their palette — a serene monotone of greens and ivory with subtle pops of yellow — perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the setting and gave the day a fresh, organic elegance.

The weekend began with an intimate rehearsal dinner at a private cabin, where laughter flowed as freely as the Aperol spritz. On the wedding day, just ten minutes before the ceremony was set to begin, the skies unexpectedly opened up. In true J. Ladson Weddings fashion, we shifted gears quickly — relocating the ceremony to the covered terrace with poise and precision. And it couldn’t have been more perfect. With soft rain in the background and string lights twinkling above, the space became even more romantic and unforgettable.

Following their heartfelt vows, guests enjoyed a three-course dinner served al fresco, paired with local wines and heartfelt toasts. Once the stars came out, so did the dance floor — and Joseph and Michael owned it, grooving to Beyoncé and bounce music all night long. It was thoughtful, joyful, and completely them.

🎼 Adones & Dijon | Atlanta Contemporary Art Center

Adones and Dijon’s wedding at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center was a bold, modern love story wrapped in timeless elegance. Their chosen palette — deep emerald, classic black, and radiant gold — created a luxurious atmosphere that paired beautifully with the venue’s industrial-chic aesthetic and contemporary backdrop.

Their ceremony was accompanied by a full orchestra — a breathtaking and emotional soundtrack that elevated the entire experience. The celebration seamlessly transitioned into a high-energy evening with a DJ who kept the dance floor full all night long.

Instead of flashy extras, the couple focused on pure, meaningful moments: gorgeous design, incredible music, and the people they love most. Under a canopy of twinkle lights on the terrace, Adones and Dijon danced the night away, surrounded by glowing faces, golden candlelight, and an air of undeniable magic. It was refined, powerful, and deeply personal — exactly the kind of celebration their love deserved.

🌴 Stacy & Shay | Hard Rock Hotel, Cancun, Mexico

Stacy and Shay’s destination wedding in Cancun was the definition of crisp, coastal glamour. They opted for a stunning all-white wedding accented with bold pops of teal blue — a palette that popped beautifully against the natural blues of the Caribbean.

While the ceremony was breathtaking, what happened before it nearly stole the show: Stacy’s wedding gown was mistakenly shipped to another country. After a whirlwind of calls and prayers, it arrived just hours before the ceremony — and she walked down the aisle looking radiant and unbothered, as if nothing had gone awry. (That’s what we call a planner’s miracle.)

Their reception was held in a private, all-white draped ballroom, with golden accents and a fabulous gold dance floor as the centerpiece. There were no fireworks in the sky, but between the joyful tears, heartfelt toasts, and a dance floor full of love, the sparks were undeniable.

Because Love is Love — And It Always Deserves to Be Celebrated

These weddings are more than events — they’re reminders that love is diverse, dynamic, and worthy of being seen in all its forms. At J. Ladson Weddings, we’re honored to walk beside every couple as they step into this next chapter — helping them dream boldly, celebrate fully, and tell their story their way.

Happy Pride, from our hearts to yours. 🏳️‍🌈
