I hope everyone had a great weekend and is gearing up for one of my favorite holidays EVER! I thought we could start the week with a little pre-holiday indulgence…shoes! Carrie has put together an incredible pick list of shoes that will totally make you swoon and if you’re anything like me, will get you SUPER excited about your wedding day fashions. So! Rather than just blab on and on, I am going to let Carrie take the stage and share all of her shoe goodness with you!

This wedding is SO Style Me Pretty. It’s simple, subtle, totally elegant. The color palette is soft and muted, the flowers are off the charts gorgeous and the bride and groom, well…probably should be models. Sandra Pan snapped the lovely photographs and you can tell that she put her heart and soul into each image. It’s pretty obvious that she fell madly in love with this couple and wanted to really show the pure joy...

Today is a day of Napa inspired goodness. There are so many styles and ideas that you can take from a Napa wedding and apply to just about any style…the laid back elegance, the warm color palettes, the intimate ambiance. Flowers that are a little bit tailored, a little bit fresh from the garden. Food that is organic and seasonal. Styling that isn’t stuffy or overdesigned. The Napa Valley vibe is all about effortless elegance. Creating a warm and totally personal environment.

I just wrote a little post over on BACKSTAGE about blogging burnout. You know, that pressure to get the latest and greatest, to give each wedding its deserved recognition, to remember that you LOVE weddings and that’s why you do what you do. Well, I’ve had a little bit of blogging burnout lately, so I have been making it even more of a point than usual to find weddings that inspire me, that get me really excited about this industry and the insanely fun weddings that people are...
