I spotted these little gems over on Shop Friends and fell in love. I have been a long time fan of all things Rae Dunn, but her new work really takes the cake!
From the customizable eggs to the personalized wedding plates and napkin rings, every piece is absolutely lovely. Charming, without being too craftsy. Organic, while still seeming elegant. Rae has tons of...
Since we are featuring some pretty incredible details today, I thought I would share the fabulousness that is Paper + Cup and their own gorgeous affair. It was featured in Martha Stewart and all over the blogs, so it’s not exactly news, but the details...
One of our favorite Little Black Book Members, Gourmet Invitations, recently redesigned their website and added a slew of new portfolio designs. As I was feasting on each one of them, I became so excited about the unique ways that brides are adding personalization and charm to their affair. Take this ADORABLE library inspired invitation that Gourmet designed for example…
If you read Style Me Pretty, you know all about my obsession with silhouettes. Well, pair that with my love of K. Rose Cakes and you basically have complete and total perfection.

La, la, LOVE! So much more to come throughout the day! In the meantime, check out...
I mean really, have you ever seen anything quite as cute? Holly’s work is absolutely lovely, completely girly in that super sophisticated Audrey Hepburn kind of way. Her shrugs are perfection, her little frocks are fitting for any girl who loves fashion and her general sense of style and grace is built into each and every design.
I am so excited about today’s first post. In an effort to bring a splash of style to your wedding, we have recruited the help of our FAVORITE blogger and DIY editor, Kathleen of Twig and Thistle to design some favor packaging that you can literally print on your home computer, fold right up and use to house whatever your favor may be!

You know we love a great engagement shoot … and Rebecca & Jesse’s is terrific! I have to admit, though that I ‘snipped’ it from Michele and Mark’s blog at IN Photography …
That was before they were married!
This … is their wedding day …
Rebecca and Jesse were married at her parent’s desert home...
We have had an absolutely absurd amount of posts go up today! The wedding was just so pretty and the bride was sweet enough to share so many details, I wanted to make sure that we got it all in. Here is a last look at the beautifully photographed, by the wonderfully talented Lauri Levenfeld, New Zealand wedding…

Okay, I thought that for this next set, I should just let the pictures and the bride speak for themselves!
The Mudbrick Restaurant and main dining room, where we hosted our reception, has a wonderful ambience, and has been described as “one of the most romantic places on earth”. The main dining room offers the most spectacular sea views throughout the wedding dinner overlooks Waiheke’s rolling vineyards and Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf. The restaurant has French...
We are going a little late today for a couple of reasons…one, Lauri Levenfeld is a San Francisco based photographer so I wanted to give all of you West Coasters something new to read later in the day than usual and two, there were SO many gorgeous photographs, I simply couldn’t edit them down!
Here is a look at the stunning reception that Anna and James threw….
It’s simple, it’s effortless...
Before we get to the stunning reception, I wanted to share these images that Lauri shot that I fell head over heels in love with for their simplicity, their beauty, their perfection really!
A few more little tidbits and details from the bride…
The wedding took place at a winery on Waiheke Island (a 30-min ferry ride from downtown Auckland in NZ). The property has the most spectaculars views and extensive gardens, a...
Anna and James wanted a ceremony that was not only a celebration of their love but also a celebration of the friends and family that have grown to mean so much to them.

From the gorgeous bride…At our ceremony, a reading was performed by 13-year-old Eliza Wheeler, the daughter of our dear friends Halstead and Faith Wheeler of San...
My favorite weddings are the ones where you can actually see the joy. You can feel it when you look at the pictures, you can imagine it within every corner of the affair. This one is just that. Pure and utter joy…filled with so much style and grace I can hardly contain myself.
Here is what the bride had to say about our own Little Black Book photography...

From Anna, the amazingly lovely bride…
Waiheke Island is a magical place, only a 30-minute ferry ride from Auckland, populated with just fewer than 8,000 permanent residents, and the home to more than 30 vineyards – Truly Wine Island! Anna always knew she wanted to marry on Waiheke Island and it was important to both of us that all of...
Love, love, love when a bride and groom see each other for the first time. I am and always will be a hopeless romantic so this moment completely tugs at the heart strings…
