We see so much incredible inspiration on a daily basis and I am always blown away by the talent and imagination that every vendor brings to the table. The creative juices were definitely flowing for Ang Weddings and Events and Blush Designs during their urban photo shoot with a southwestern edge. I love the structural succulent centerpieces and bouquets against... [MORE]
A good whimsy wedding is like the perfect chocolate, or ice cream, or cupcake break for the start of your work day. Filled with bright colors, pinwheels, love, and fun, this California wedding has that ice cream factor that so many of us need to get us through to the weekend. And I'm loving it. The second I laid eyes on the fête, captured by Gertrude & Mabel Photography, I felt energized, ready to face the rest of my day, and... [MORE]
I am fairly certain that I will be spending this lovely Thursday morning all wrapped up in this stunning Mexico soiree by Holly Wilmeth, so I should probably start clearing my calendar now. Boasting beautiful blooms, a beyond gorgeous location and one of my favorite gowns of all time from Gabriella New York Bridal Salon, this intimate affair is what I call destination... [MORE]
We're taking an early morning trip to the beach and checking in with this insanely gorgeous wedding with beyond beautiful images by Anne McGowan Photography and florals and design by Kim Fisher Designs. This intimate beach side wedding with its pops of pink petals is just what the doctor ordered on this cloudy New England morning. [MORE]
I have one very serious case of wedding envy for these darling San Francisco nuptials by Gladys Jem Photography. And, believe me, once you take a peak at every last ounce of pretty below, you won't blame me one bit... because not only was this stunning affair held at a romantic park called Shakespeare Garden (plus the fabulous Epic Roasthouse), but it's also brimming with lovely...

When two talented creative-types tie the knot, it always seems to blow me away. It's like a meeting of the made-for-wedding-planning minds, so to speak. And this gorgeous pair is the perfect example. Not only did they design their stylish stationery, they also letter pressed them in the comforts of their own home (you can see how they did it on their blog!). The DIY doesn't stop there, but I'll... [MORE]
We've got just the wedding to cure any Monday morning blues you may be experiencing at this very moment and it is fun with a capital F and totally swoon worthy with shades of pink around each and every pretty corner.

I can say with certainty that I never, ever tire of poring over images from a Nantucket fête. Pretty pictures from the Grey Lady just never get old. I have an inkling that the rest of you are on board with me too, particular when those gorgeous images are from Davina + Daniel. It doesn't hurt when the couple tying the knot are as handsome as they come, making the Grey Lady look even more ravishing. Want to see more? [MORE]
In the wedding photography world, Elizabeth Messina reigns Queen and she has a trail of beautiful, heart-palpatating images to prove it. So, of course, we jumped at the chance to feature a photo shoot she recently worked on for the equally fabulous San Francisco Brides Magazine. To say it is breath-taking is a complete understatement. Envision... [MORE]
A man from England met a woman from America while hiking in Scotland. They fell in love and decided to get married in a gorgeous, travel-themed Oregon wedding. She wore white, and he wore a kilt. Lauren Brooks was there to document the special nuptials, which Blush Bridal Consultation Group had planned and executed to a T. Sounds like a fairytale, right? This wedding is... [MORE]
This Vermont wedding by Dreamlove Wedding Photography is bursting with personality. I love when a couple takes a wedding trend and totally infuses their own individuality and style into it. The wild, overgrown and bushy initials against rustic doors are an awesome take on the traditional moss letters. And I love that the entire venue is covered in the paper cranes handmade by the groom's brother even the wrought-iron... [MORE]

Amy Kuschel and Coren Moore gowns, vibrant splashes of purple, pink and tangerine orange ~ a segway to the festive Lake Tahoe wedding of Ginger and Brannan from Merrily Wed and... [MORE]
Before I started blogging...I was definitely a glam wedding kind of girl. We're talking chandeliers, TONS of peonies, white, white and more white. But having pored over literally thousands upon thousands of weddings every day for the last three years, my appreciation and love for the sweet backyard style wedding is quickly creeping to the top of my favs. A wedding like this next one, photographed to perfection by Jesse Leake, where the...
