Today's wedding is for all of you that are still stuck at work, with the icy cold weather and the grey sky...perhaps it will brighten your day a bit!
Thanks so much to Rebecca at Custom Event Group! This gorgeous wedding is JUST what we needed! Here is a last bit from Rebecca...
LOVELY BRIDE PURVA sent out the neatest 'thank – you's' – perfectly packaged and delivered one-of-a-kind New York cheesecake. The yummy cake and sweet note meant more than cash. Take note...

Hmm, what a huge property BEAULIEU is…bet you would be surprised to hear that I clock an average of 7 miles on the wedding day. Wow, nothing like a being a wedding planner for the best leg workout.

Everyone likes great wedding shoe-shots ... right? Well, I feel that way about Wedding RING-SHOTS.
Maybe it's because I love gorgeous rings ... or maybe it's because of the unbelievable creativity of wedding photographers. I just think ring-shots are so artistic.
So ... when we posted yesterday's LBB Blog with the cute-cute little man...
My husband, my little girl and I all flew down to Florida last night for a nice, long Christmas vacation and it's absolutely gorgeous. Seventy degrees and beautifully sunny. It's actually why I chose this particular wedding, sent to us by Custom Event Group, to feature today...a wedding that is bright and colorful, that matches my mood!
Venue: Beaulieu Gardens / Catering Company:...
And I mean, seriously loves. The oh-so-talented Jim Smeal is crafting the wedding cakes for my design-savvy (soon-to-be) sister-in-law which I couldn't be more excited about. He designs these perfect, one part preppy, one part totally chic wedding cakes that literally elevate your wedding style to the next level. It's hard to find the words to say just...
Today's wedding, sent to me by Rebecca at Custom Event Group, is all about beauty. An Indian inspired affair, the colors are so incredibly vibrant, the attire so unbelievably gorgeous, the details so perfectly lovely. Prepare yourself to crave the layers upon layers of gorgeous color for your own wedding...

So much more to come!

Here is a last look at the gorgeous real wedding that we are featuring today. Getting a peek into a vendor's wedding is perhaps one of the best ways to really understand how the details can make a wedding completely shine. Lauren brought touches of herself and her fiance into every element and the end result was nothing short of lovely...
Photography ~ Seeing as Lincoln and I are both photographers, it was also important...
Now for the incredibly delicious details...the details that made this beautiful wedding, completely charming and oh-so-personal.

The Cake/Cupcakes/Groom's Cake ~ Jocelyn Barda of Bakery Bar made our adorable wedding cupcakes as well as our little 'cutting' cake.
I am totally smitten with Lauren and Lincoln's wedding. Cozy, warm and so intimate, it is the epitome of what a wedding should be. And whether it was the timing of the photographs, the weather or simply the Oregon sky, this next set of images shot by Eric Cable is pure gorgeousness....

Today, we are featuring one of our favorite photographer, Lauren Brooks', recent real wedding! I always love to see how a photographer styles their own wedding...if there is anyone who has seen the most beautiful venues, photographed the most gorgeous details and fallen in love with ceremony after ceremony, it's a photographer.
And Lauren Brooks took everything that she had...
Have you ever seen anything cuter than a serious little ring bearer walking down the aisle? Or a little guy who, you're sure had a perfect tux to begin with, but now has a crooked bow tie and un-tucked shirt? Neither have we!

This adorable wedding (spotted on Oh Joy a few days back) just warms my heart. The charm that seems to be spilling out of every corner...from the floating origami cranes to the s'mores to the fabulously chic bride and groom...is just too much for words. And Robert Sukrachand captured the wedding to perfection. Head over to...
The other day, you guys fell in love with Nicole and Grant's rustic chic affair. Well, if there is one thing that I know Nicole was thrilled about, it was Lauren Brooks...her photographer extraordinaire. When I found out that Lauren was also recently married, I asked if I could feature HER wedding too! And I am so glad that I asked...
I am loving today's post by Lisa Hoffman on monograms...over lunch, my husband and I decided that we need an official Larson monogram. Something that we can carry through the years, adding children's names, tweaking to reflect our personalities. And these monograms by Ceci NY are pure inspiration!

Personally, I'm really into unique die cut shapes...
I have a real eye candy treat for you today. Our great friend Lauri Levenfeld of Zoom Photography sent me Leeta and Hunter's rustic, yet totally glamorous wedding. When coming up with ideas for her wedding, Leeta wanted to incorporate everything that was central in Hunter's and her life together. She decided to feature elements of music, art, and nature. Leeta and Hunter used a ton of different textures and colors to keep the feel lively. Her...

Lisa Hoffman of Ceci New York is here guest blogging about something that I know so many brides are really curious about...monograms. Monograms are a beautiful way to bring cohesiveness to your wedding style, to infuse your look with your own personal stamp. And Lisa's monograms are about as good as they get!

These perfect little creations by Cake Opera Co. have made the blog rounds time and time again...but, I just couldn't help myself. Can you imagine the work that goes into crafting each one of these cakes? Inspired by operas, by French linens, by whimsical boutiques on crooked streets in Venice...they are simply magical.
A couple of weeks ago we debuted the first of Peculiar Pair's brand spanking new online collection, along with the HUGE news that SMP readers are being offered a 50% discount on each of these new designs! Today, we get to reveal four more of their absolutely beautiful new invitations! The first, is called Henna...
I love the scroll work, the kind of culturally inspired touches that totally take this look to a new level.
