Plus, today’s weddings are ALL about the personality and the charm, so it totally fit the bill. Oh and did I mention that I love every bit of it? To see lots more pictures from the day, click here.

We are stepping away from the uber-luxe weddings we’ve been featuring lately to share with you three completely perfect, completely charming weddings that are filled to the brim with style, with handmade details and with personality for days.

Escalante, Utah – population 818. Well, make that 918 when this happy wedding brigade rolled into town. This shindig is proof that ballrooms and fancy bouquets do not a wedding make. Sometimes love and a fire-pit are all you really need to throw one super duper party. Of course, an awesome photographer like Chris Richards never hurts. And can we please talk about that ultra pretty wedding gown? The bride had her...

It’s been WAY too long since we’ve featured one of Karen Wise’s weddings on the Little Black Book Blog! So when Tamara & Adam’s Manhattan wedding fell into our box … we were thrilled! Karen shoots all film and she’s seriously, one of the best. Her attention to details, the focus on traditional wedding photography with that extra special oomph that kicks her images up...

There is something undeniably gorgeous and alluring about the central coast of California. It is quite possible that it was made specifically for joyous celebrations; at least it looks that way every time I see another breathtaking wedding from this region. Allyson Magda, who works magic with a camera, sent over this perfect, perfect wedding for us to gaze upon.

I don’t know where you live…but where I am, it’s raining and gross outside. And it’s gray. Which I hate. So I thought we could brighten everyone’s day by sharing a wedding that is anything but gray. It’s sunny, and vibrant and full of the most gorgeous colors I think I have ever seen. All captured beautifully by the wonderfully talented KT Merry. Whose work has literally added a little ray of sunshine to...

If there is one request that we get over and over again, it’s a plea for more ballroom weddings. After all, most of us aren’t blessed with picture perfect, bright and sunny weather and taking a chance on an outdoor reception is, well, impossible. So when I saw this adorable fete designed by the always ingenious Heather Balliet of Amorology, I nearly fell off my chair. Heather approached a simple ballroom with the same...

Oh so sweet is a phrase that comes to mind with this next wedding, sent to us by the lovely photographer Jenn Cress. The details are simple and the love is apparent which really made for the most charming day. Besides, who doesn’t love a mason jar I ask you? How about dozens all lined up in a row? I know I’m a HUGE fan. This outdoor wedding took place on Harriet Island in Minnesota with views of the river and the St. Paul...

We’ve featured a pretty creative bunch of brides this week, wouldn’t you say? I love Thursday’s story of a bride who dreamed of a rooftop wedding, but due to limited venues in her area, chose to hold their reception at the top of a trendy parking garage. Genius! This is what Style Me Pretty is all about and we can tell by the reader comments that you all appreciate these unique alternatives, as well. We would love to hear how you overcame a challenge while planning your...
