Fall Wedding Color Palette

It's cool and rainy here in Boston...the first sign that Fall is here! Although I am a Texas girl at heart and love lazy days in the sun, there is just something so warm and cozy about the first month of Fall. When I saw this beautiful wedding, shot by Elizabeth Messina (who by the way, has the most incredible photographs on her site), it just made me so inspired for this wedding season... How beautiful is this palette of... [MORE]

Reception Centerpieces

Last week, when we were oooo-ing and ahhhhh-ing over Avalon's gorgeous wedding, someone commented on where to find inexpensive, but pretty vases. So, when I stumbled upon this feature in the Fall 2005 issue of Martha Stewart weddings, I knew that had to put it up. The article talks about clustered centerpieces and is filled with beautiful ideas on inexpensive floral arrangements, along with some great resources on lovely... [MORE]

Real Wedding: Keren & Corey

I am really excited about today's post! Keren and Corey Springer, of Wud Furniture, have offered to share some jaw droppingly beautiful photos from their recent wedding.

I've asked Keren to share with us the ten things that made their wedding day truly special... 1. Having our worlds collide - It was so... [MORE]

Wedding Invitations by Demby & Solomon

My friend Lysa, over at Demby & Solomon, emailed me a few pictures of her latest custom wedding invitations. They are so gorgeous, I just had to share them with you... Most of her work is letterpressed, though because she is a custom studio, she can really work with whatever printing method the design calls for. Lysa also offers all of the bells and whistles including calligraphy, hand-lined envelopes, custom-designed... [MORE]

Inspiration Board Favorites

There are a few inspiration boards that I just think are little works of art. The colors, the styles and the overall look on each of these boards is brilliant, and I can really "feel" the type of wedding that the bride is looking to create. I have asked each designer to give us a little description of the wedding they are envisioning, along with a list of sources where we can find all of the gorgeous goods featured. Just click on the individual board for all of the details (we are... [MORE]
