Today’s featured wedding has been, well…to put it simply, it’s been lovely. Sophisticated, unfussy and utterly beautiful.

The team at Docuvitae is such a genius when it comes to capturing real, raw emotion and still allowing the absolute beauty of the day to shine through. I am in love with this wedding and know that you are too!

I have a friend that completely reminds me of today’s bride. I bet you do to…the girl that is effortlessly beautiful, that is modest but unbelievably lovely. The girl that smiles and lights up a room. But not in an showy way, in a really subtle, timelessly beautiful way that all of her friends envy. I love today’s bride.

And the flowers, oh how I love the flowers…actually, I love everything about today’s wedding!

As much as I loved our DIY feature, I was having a real wedding withdrawal…so today’s featured affair seems even sweeter. The pure romance of the day, the sexy vintage inspired photographs that Docuvitae shot, the ridiculously lovely bride. Loving every bit of it.

One of the things that I really love about today’s featured affair, sent to us by the FABULOUS Docuvitae, is that everything…from the tiniest of details to the perfect florals are cohesive and effortlessly beautiful. It almost looks like an interior designer built the wedding for the pages of a magazine, as there is such a thoughtful but subtle approach to every little element.

Sometimes, when I get weddings that are this beautiful, it’s really hard for me to decide which images to show you. I want to make sure that you understand the style of the day, but I also want to give you a window into the emotion behind the perfection. The subtleties that make a wedding really special. I love this series of images, so simple and yet so telling…

A handsome boy, a perfect pair of shoes, a beautiful bride and her beautiful mother. Pure loveliness. So much...

I have been DYING to share this wedding with you since the moment it came into my inbox. Anytime that I get a wedding from Docuvitae in Los Angeles, I know that it’s going to be a keeper. There is something so artistic, so completely captivating about their photographs, with emotion and beauty seeming to radiate from each image.

Before we dive into the details though, you have to see this amazing venue that the couple...

Love this next one. Love all of them actually, but this one is especially sweet because the bride and groom really looked to their own lives to find favors that they could make and share with their guests.

From the bride…My name is Trish and my fiancé is Luke. and we came up with an idea to do a seed packet and matching pot for our wedding favor. He is an assistant superintendent at Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Last summer they held the PGA...

These are really similar to the coasters that we featured just a bit ago…but a more personal approach! Such a great gift for those that love you!

From the bride…Custom Photo coasters are a great favor for any size wedding. Depending on your budget you can choose how many coasters you’d like to include. They are environmentally friendly because your guests will re-use them in their home for years on end, rather than throwing them away, like so many favors. If you have a...

I am completely obsessed with this next idea, and actually, just might go make these adorable coasters myself to have in our office! Also love the idea of making each bundle different, with modern graphic prints. GREAT way to add a pop to your decor.

Here is the play by play…

From the crafter…I think these favors are appropriate for our current economic situation. With each set of four coasters costing about one dollar (mine were a little less), I think it would be...
