I have a few more pictures from Nole’s absolutely beautiful wedding to share with you…
photography by Punam Bean Photography
I have to say, this is one of the prettiest weddings I have ever seen…with or without a budget. I love the sweet, understated details of the day and the intimate feeling of having just close friends and family as guests. You really get a sense of just how special this couple is.
And, I was totally floored by the incredible journal that Nole wrote both during the planning phase and after the big day. You can see her planning documented right here on her Knot Bio…it includes inspiration boards, fun DIY projects and other really interesting tidbits. Her post wedding re-cap can be read right here and is filled with vendor reviews and ideas that are so helpful to any bride planning her wedding. Thank you so much, Nole, for sharing this with us!

You’re right it so beautiful and elegant. The dress (and the bride of course) and the flowers and the cakes. I rarely ever find a complete strangers wedding photos interesting, but there is something special about these.

The white flower vases filled with white roses is a simple yet elegant touch.

Cacey, It’s the Claire dress by Monique Lhuillier. It’s all right there on her wedding bio. The link is in the post. She covers every detail in the bio.

understated - yes that’s definitely how it feels in a very beautiful way. very provence - casual - lovely ambiance. i’m going to read her journal now. what a great idea.

I love this! I mean, of course I love that it’s thrifty. But, so many of the details are similar to what we are going for! Middle eastern food, jewish wedding, modest budget, lovely dress, just… everything! Swoon.
Comment by Shannon on 10 July 2008:
love the cakes, they are so elegant and refined, yet they have that homemade quality that the mason jars echo. Also the back of her dress is so flattering, does anyone know who it’s by?
