I had a ballroom wedding...a big, beautiful, Boston, ballroom wedding. And it was honestly the most magical day of my life, one that I would never change even a single detail. And yet, if there is one style of wedding that I am always a little jealous of, it's a perfect seaside affair. A casual, totally laid back beach wedding with a pretty, flowy dress and a perfect flower tucked neatly into a messy, messy bun. There is just something so romantic about the style, something blissfully happy... [MORE]

From Jubilee Coppola...We had so much fun styling and planning this shoot-- it really took us out of our comfort zone and allowed us to style something modern, minimal and chic! I was inspired by the white on white, citrus colors and shapes, and minimalistic approach of the board. That look was translated into the selection of a ghost table for our tablescape, which really showed off the citrus chargers and amazing citrus... [MORE]
