If you need a little spring in your step before heading off into the weekend, this downright darling Miami wedding by 13:13 Photography will do just the trick. Completely DIY and completely adorable, it is as budget-friendly as it is beautiful. All the friends and family involved had a hand in making it such a memorable affair, and I think they can most definitely pat themselves on the back for a job very well done!

This might go down in history as the longest (and cutest) proposal story ever. This darling groom sent his lovely bride on a year-long treasure hunt until the final clue, the ring, waited for her on her pillow. Adorable, right? The treasure hunt didn’t stop there, the guests were brought into the fun with an invitation that had them figure out the date, location and who was getting married. If you think you love this couple already, they also had their bridal party walk down the aisle...

Black Swan seems to have taken the world by storm and its reach can even be seen in the wedding world with ballet inspired bridal fashion popping up everywhere we turn and we aren’t complaining. The glamour, the romance, the ballet shoes…the girly girl in us is squealing with delight.

When there is confetti involved in any situation in life, it’s hard to go wrong – when there is a confetti theme involved in the wedding reception of a world-traveling, uber stylish and ultra lovely Los Angeles couple (who now live in Hong Kong) well, that just might be the definition of right.

I will probably never get sick of ranch weddings.  I adore the laid-back, organic vibe that seems to always be a part of these events.  When they’re mixed with soft, romantic details, like this California beauty from Summer & Boyd, then you have a win-win situation.  Loads of crafty, DIY touches, gorgeous florals and a weekend full of fun with a few of your closest loved ones just always feels (and looks) so right! ...
