Well, we continue to be blown away week after week by all of the fabulous tidbits, bobbles, trinkets and other fabulous pieces coming our way and this week was no exception.

We are always asked what the one piece of advice we would give to all brides would be if we had the chance. And we generally say the same thing…splurge on things that will truly add something to your wedding and skimp on those that guests will barely remember. Case in point, the welcome bag. Although it’s lovely to get a paper bag with some water, some peanuts and a map thrown in, it’s also money spent that isn’t always appreciated…or remembered. I know, that...

Such is the case with this next wedding, photographed to undeniable perfection by...

A long, long time ago way back when, I was in design school and one of the very first things I learned was grey makes other colors POP. I thought this was so strange at the time but if you think about it, it’s completely true. On a grey day, the trees look greener, the flowers seem brighter and this California Ranch wedding is the perfect example. It is an explosion of pretty color all captured by...

“When children find true love, parents find true joy.” What a quote! Look to a father at the wedding of his princess to hear sentiments that will rock your soul. That’s just one of the many things that struck Joanna at Diva Productions about Jana and Brent’s Destin, Florida wedding.

I have to admit. Before I ever fell in love with this wedding…I fell in love with the wedding cakes. It was the one picture that just totally stole my heart and convinced me to look a little deeper at this absolutely charming, totally DIY affair.

Sarvenaz and Kevin’s story tells like a fairytale. They had their first date in Cannes, and then a third date in Monaco, their first ‘I Love You’s’ were exchanged in Sweden; and this was only the beginning. Fast-forward to a beautiful June day at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel- where they made it official and said ‘I Do’. Their wedding drew from many influences- touches from Sarv’s Persian heritage, a few nods to their love of travel and all things...
