<p><em>After dating for several months and realizing that I had absolutely met my best friend, it was clear that we meant to be together. Our plans were to be in WaterColor to celebrate the holidays with my father&#8217;s side of the family. Having such a special, amazing time in one of the most incomparably beautiful places, it seemed like this would be the perfect time to ask. Unfortunately, we still did not have a ring decided upon. </em></p>
<p><em>In WaterColor, there is a classic candy shop from your childhood with a bunch of stuffed animals and other small toys, amongst which is a big Hello Kitty section. Missy absolutely adores Hello Kitty. On the bottom shelf, thankfully tucked away from desperate eyes pointed at a huge stuffed Hello Kitty, was a rack of faux-antique rings with Hello Kitty jewels. While Missy sadly walked out without a big mushy feline friend, I rushed back and purchased one of the rings, thinking I had found perfection right there. I could barely contain my glee as I skipped outside, trying to look nonchalant while already trying to figure out the best place to ask Missy to be my wife.</em></p>
<p><em>Every evening in WaterColor, my family lines up beach chairs and watches the sun magically go down over the Gulf. This would clearly be the perfect place! However, being December, the coast was quite chilly and not everyone who grew up in Miami Beach wanted to stay out to watch, even when given the option of taking my fleece and gloves for warmth. Thus, &#8220;Plan A&#8221; was foiled. However, being Christmas the next morning there was another opportunity for a special and memorable moment. When we woke up, earlier than the family breakfast, I told Missy that I had gotten her a gift that week. &#8220;When? I was with you every minute!&#8221; Well, not every minute. I then reached into my coat pocket to get the pink princess Hello Kitty ring still waiting for a finger and got down on one knee in from of the bed. Looking up at the still just-waking Missy, I asked, &#8220;Will you marry me?&#8221; We then had the most smiling-est, jumping-est, teary-est morning ever.</em></p>
<p><em>After being engaged there, the decision to have the wedding at WaterColor was simple; we wanted a wedding where people who loved each other got to spend as much time as possible with one another. WaterColor is phenomenal for family get togethers, and we were excited to introduce so many people to the Emerald Coast.</em></p>
<p><em>The concept of a modern beach wedding was matched by the style of all of our fantastic vendors, who absolutely made the day. And we could not have had a better band than Rubik’s Groove. Missy and I both love 80s music, and these guys were the most amazing event band ever. No one sat for the entire night. Even when the delicious food was served, people wanted to be dancing, not eating! All we have seen in the pictures of the tent are empty chairs and a full dance floor!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t imagine this Michigan bride ever not looking gorgeous, but on her wedding day, with that fantastic veil, the stunning gown from <a href="http://thegownshopannarbor.com/" target="_blank">The Gown Shop</a>, and her face filled with love and anticipation, she was absolutely breathtaking. Which, in turn, carried on to the rest of the luxe, white affair, captured by <a href="http://www.nicoleladonne.com/" target="_blank">Nicole Ladonne Photography</a>. And after reading her eloquent story, there was no doubt in my mind that this bride was just as pretty inside, as she was out. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/6111" target="_blank">Don&#8217;t forget about the gallery of images for more!</a></p>

<p>I wasn&#8217;t quite done with this stunning couple, and I knew you wouldn&#8217;t be either, and lucky for us, <a href="http://www.3rdstreetfilms.com/" target="_blank">3rd Street Films</a> has sent over a fantastic highlight film to extend our viewing pleasure!</p>

<p><em>If you can, imagine the feeling of a late summer afternoon, when a gusty breeze billows in with perfect timing, cooling and soothing your sun kissed skin. You feel rejuvenated, yet relaxed; the sensation is heavenly. That would be the best way for me to describe how our love feels. And that is exactly what I wanted our wedding to feel like, too.</em></p>
<p><em>One of the most helpful things that Eddie and I did to kickoff our wedding planning was to sit down and figure out, together, what exactly we envisioned for our big day. For Eddie, who is of Chaldean descent, it was important to incorporate Middle Eastern music and dancing into the reception entertainment. As for me, I’m very sentimental, so the color palette and the décor were the perfect opportunity for us to, in a way, tell our story. Collectively, we agreed that we wanted to allocate a significant portion of our budget to the cuisine and the cocktails, and if possible, to find a venue with the option for an indoor/outdoor reception, since Michigan is known for it’s comfortable and colorful autumn season.</em></p>
<p><em>We were married at the National Shrine of the Little Flower Catholic Church on historical Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan. Eddie and I attended mass there on one of our very first dates, and it soon became our home parish. Also, we were blessed to have our wedding officiated by one of Eddie’s childhood friends, who grew up to become an ordained Catholic priest. To attempt to compete with the lavish interiors and the opulent finishes of the church would have been impossible, so we kept the décor to simple white arrangements (an assortment of hydrangeas, lilies of the valley, white roses, and calla lilies) that flanked the altar. Our ceremony was rich with tradition, yet completely personal, and I will cherish it always.</em></p>
<p><em>A considerable amount of our guests were from out of town, so we had our hearts set on finding a unique-to-Michigan venue. Meadow Brook Hall was the second spot that we visited, and I loved the look of excitement on Eddie’s face when we stepped out onto the terrace, where we would later host our cocktail reception; it reminded him of the University of Virginia’s campus, his undergraduate alma mater. The mansion, too, was warm and welcoming for our cocktail hour, during which docents provided guests with tours as they enjoyed Southern and Mediterranean influenced hors d&#8217;oeuvres. I like to think that dinner and dancing were held under the stars, but in reality, they were just a short chassé away from the mansion beneath a dreamy, white, canopy tent. The billowy draping was the perfect nod to our South Beach reception theme, along with our floral designer’s white-hot creations, some perfectly positioned lounge seating, and Mother Nature’s subtle breeze. Guests danced the night away to a mixture of live Chaldean songs, and the D.J.’s medley of chart toppers and quintessential, Miami house music.</em></p>
<p><em>As for the attire, we kept things tailored and traditional. I worked with Stacy Fork from Michigan’s newest wedding gem, The Gown Shop Ann Arbor, to customize my Modern Trousseau Mika gown. A simple, Thai silk bodice met with layers of gauzy silk chiffon, just below the hips, to create cascading tiers that sort of floated along with a romantic subtly. The groom and groomsmen donned Calvin Klein tuxedos with a modern fit, and a traditional bow tie, while the bridesmaids looked elegant in a ballet pink, fit and flare gown, accented with rose gold jewelry. Our flower girl was adorable in a custom, floor length tutu.</em></p>
<p><em>My advice for the soon-to-be-newlyweds would be to remain focused on the must-haves, get creative with the details, never underestimate the power of candles, and to truly not sweat the small stuff. In the end, it truly is about the love you share with your beloved, and that is the best décor, detail, and accessory of all.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the holidays quickly approaching, and winter wonderlands popping up all over the place, we thought it was fitting to share this glamorous winter wedding inspiration shoot, sent our way by the fab designers, <a href="http://www.coutureeventssd.com/" target="_blank">Couture Events</a>. The juxtaposition of the glitter and the rough warehouse made a PERFECT pair, and we can&#8217;t get enough of the fashion, the sparkle, and that little puppy. <a href="http://scottlawrencephotographs.com/" target="_blank">Scott Lawrence Photography</a> granted our winter wish and filled a gallery full with beautiful images from this shoot &#8211; <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/5967" target="_blank">click here to see that!</a></p>

<p>From <a href="http://www.coutureeventssd.com/" target="_blank">Couture Events</a> &#8230; <em>At Couture we hold a few key words in mind when styling weddings and our holiday tables: glamour, class, beauty, and whim. We can almost hear the photos singing a fabulous mashup of Fergie’s “Glamorous” and the Christmas classic, “Walking in a Winter Wonderland.” Set inside the Culy Warehouse we hung a backdrop of light bulbs against an unfinished wall. The contrast of soft and bright against the wall of rough and textured made for a perfect setting, creating a room that was all softly aglow. Our gorgeous brides are dressed in Bliss Bride&#8217;s winter wedding gowns and are accompanied by Couture Events very own snow-furred pup, Bruiser. </em></p>
<p><em>The table, benches, sofas, and chairs came from one of our favorite furniture rental companies, Lounge Appeal. The invitations made in icy hues, elegant cursive, and accented with silk ribbon and a crystal broach set the tone for an affair to be remembered. We also placed a name card at each setting to welcome the guests to their chair. The gorgeous centerpieces made of beautiful winter white flowers mixed with crystals and delicately glistening silver leaves. Crystal candelabras and shimmering candlesticks, timeless silver dinnerware and white glitter made for a truly winter chic table. To top it all off we add some snow (glitter) &#8211; our favorite and final touch. Be dazzled and enjoy, and don’t hold back an ounce of cheer this holiday season. FROST YOURSELVES, your holidays, and your wedding!</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For all of you who are lucky enough to attend (and maybe even throw) an Atlanta wedding &#8211; consider me jealous. Everything I see from the ATL has got me a little closer to packing my bags and stealing an invite to a fab soiree. Like this one. Forget that the bride is so beautiful in her white, lace gown that she could give the Duchess of Cambridge a run for her money, the entire affair (planned beautifully by the lovely <a href="http://table6productions.com/" target="_blank">Table 6 Productions</a>) was beyond gorgeous, and this cinematic trailer from <a href="http://threeringweddings.com/" target="_blank">Three Ring Media</a>? Perfection.</p>

<p>From <a href="http://threeringweddings.com" target="_blank">Three Ring Media</a>&#8230;<em>Wesley and Allison are both Howard alums. And while they both knew of each other during school, they had no relationship. </em><em>But Wesley had taken notice of Allison, and he had begun to set his sights on her. A friend of his ran interference at a party so he could get to know her a little bit better. At the end of the conversation Wesley had convinced Allison to have dinner with him at a Ruby Tuesdays. They talked for hours, sharing their thoughts on family, faith and love and eventually closed the place down.</em></p>
<p><em>It was very soon that they had come to realize it was time to close down all other options, and focus their romantic pursuits on the other. So while Wesley was in Atlanta for a teaching conference, he asked to have dinner with her parents. And at another Ruby Tuesday&#8217;s he told them how much he had fallen for their daughter and asked for their blessing to marry her.</em></p>
<p><em>With Allison&#8217;s parents on board, Wesley plotted a Thanksgiving day proposal, so her entire family could witness the beginning of their new life together.</em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">From <a href="http://www.catherinenicole.com/" target="_blank">Catherine Nicole</a>&#8230;<em>Emily and Luis met through a church group a short five years after Luis moved to the States from Mexico. Luis transferred to the same college as Emily and their fate was sealed after a seven year courtship when he got down on one knee and proposed at a bar on the beach! </em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Despite Emily&#8217;s busy job as a CPA, she managed to plan a beautifully elegant wedding that balanced a fresh and clean color palate with traditional Mexican touches. Emily&#8217;s style came out through the details, as seen in the unique centerpieces and place cards that guests found on a framed bed of grass. Luis&#8217; family traveled from Mexico to be there and a Mariachi band played at the beginning of the reception, a warm touch to celebrate the joining of two families.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The bride wore white, and so did the rest of her Nashville wedding. She bedecked the whole affair in a gorgeous blanket of white, burlap, and bling, and oh. my. goodness. It is perfect. The whole day was planned, coordinated, flora&#8217;ed by (and took place at) <a href="http://www.cedarwoodweddings.com/" target="_blank">Historic Cedarwood</a>, and looking through all the fantastic images from <a href="http://www.maryrosenbaum.com/" target="_blank">Mary Rosenbaum Photographs</a>, I can just tell it was a day built for total romance. I&#8217;m loving every single little detail, but the thing I can&#8217;t get past? All the white. I love a brave bride, and this bride&#8217;s bravery paid off &#8211; the color palette is beyond amazing. Dreamy. Perfect. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/gallery/gallery/4989" target="_blank">Click here for more!</a></p>

<p><em>Cedarwood has a historic Old South look and feel (it was built in 1835). Since moving to the south, Chris and I have fallen in love with “Southern Culture” and we wanted our guests (mostly northerners) to ‘feel’ the south at our wedding.   Cedarwood was perfect, and they are also amazing wedding stylists and designers, so we knew we could rely on them to help us create a memorable affair with a mix of southern comfort, shabby chic décor with a touch of glam.</em></p>
<p><em>I knew right off the bat I did not want a lot of color present on our wedding day.  I love white, how the color conveys bridal and all things wedding.  Plus white is simply classic.  I felt I would never look back on my wedding pictures with disgust about my color choices if I kept my look classic with a twist.  Adding bling as a primary décor theme to the wedding made sense as well, I absolutely love sparkle.  In my wardrobe, home décor, jewelry choices… the more bling the better.  Around that time, I began to see burlap showing up in more décor stores and the Cedarwood design team helped me build this concept of burlap and bling &#8211; a mix of the natural burlap element and bling to dress it up a bit.  This established our styling and I began to get really excited about our décor choice. </em></p>
<p><em>The venue and flow of the evening truly defined our wedding day as unique.  Hosting a non-traditional, outside garden ceremony, cocktail hour in a barn, toasts on the front lawn of an antebellum style home was different.  I wanted there to be surprises for guests, such as finding their seat card on yarn hanging in the barn.  Providing a “shabby chic photo booth” set up as guests arrived to have their picture taken in lieu of guest book will hopefully be remembered as a unique experience.</em></p>
<p><em>There are so many wonderful memories from our wedding day.  In retrospect the heat of the day and the cicadas (although somewhat bothersome the day of) provided memories we will cherish forever.  Being that over half of our guests came down from northern states, the southern heat and cicadas were interesting talking points for guests after the big day.  We was so worried about the cicadas upon hearing they were taking over Nashville during the spring/early summer of our wedding however they provided nice background noise to our ceremony and one even landed on my dress!  Chris did a great job removing the cicada without worrying me. We also cherish the memory of our first dance under a beautiful chandelier with all our friends and family looking on.</em></p>

<p><em>Just days after our engagement, Joe brought me to Paris Hill, Maine for the first time to spend the Fourth of July holiday with his immediate and extended family. I knew that Fourth of July was Joe’s favorite holiday, but I did not fully grasp why until I went to Paris Hill that year and partook in the fantastic Brooks family annual celebration. What I saw when I got there was a pristinely beautiful setting filled with people who went out of their way to create family togetherness, preserve tradition and honor history.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Paris Hill is like a time capsule. An historic township, the beautifully preserved buildings are centered around the open, grassy Common. The landmarks are simply the church (built in 1803), the courthouse, the old jail, jailer’s house, registry, and the old Paris Hill Academy. You can’t help but feel transported back in time when you’re there. The Hill is set against the backdrop of a spectacular view of the White Mountains. The physical beauty of the place is trumped only by the family traditions that made the visit truly visceral for me. From the family softball game played in vintage baseball jerseys to the lobster dinner in the barn, I fell in love with Paris Hill and the deeply rooted family traditions that my fiancé’s family was bringing to life. Paris Hill is slice of pure Americana, so few places could be more apropos of celebrating the Fourth of July. It also turned out to be the perfect setting for our wedding…</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>On the plane ride back to California, as I watched the tiny islands off Portland fade into the distance, I leaned over and asked Joe if he ever thought of having our wedding in Paris Hill. A broad grin swept over his face and I knew that’s where we would be exchanging our vows. Joe had assumed I would want to get married in Laguna Beach, where my family lives. Laguna would be a no-brainer because of the natural beauty combined with my family’s history; but Paris Hill just felt right. Not only was it such a special piece of Joe’s family history, but his Grandmother lived steps from church! From that day on, we began what would become one of the most fun projects I’ve ever been part of. Because we had such a wonderful, authentic setting, all we really had to do was not mess it up by trying to get too fancy or overdo it. We knew that we wanted a rustic, understated, elegant affair that was all about family, but the challenge was how, from 3,000 miles away, we would find someone who could understand what Paris Hill meant to us and execute our vision. </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Joe was a fantastic partner in the wedding planning because he wanted to be involved in everything and helped with all aspects. In fact, he is the one who found our AMAZING wedding planner, Sandy Shapiro-Hurt, founder of Bea &amp; Company in Portland, Maine. Once we were in her hands, it was smooth sailing. During the first of many phone planning sessions to come, we told Sandy we wanted our wedding to have the feel of “Anthropologie meets rustic Maine.” She knew exactly what we were saying. We did only one wedding planning trip, and Sandy helped us do a one-stop shop that weekend. We went to her house to do the tasting with our caterer, Chi Chi Chef, and the moment I walked into her house I knew we had chosen the perfect person to design our wedding. The aesthetic and décor in her house was exactly what we wanted at our wedding and from that moment on, I knew we were in good hands. She listened carefully to what we ruminated on and helped us pull together all the elements that would create the perfect celebration for us. One of our best resources we used for accents was etsy.com, on which we relied heavily for those random custom items (wooden signs, vintage candy jars, table and name cards, etc.). </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>We were married over Labor Day weekend, and when we deplaned in Portland, our spoiled Southern California senses were hit with a wall of heat and dense humidity. In addition to the heat, we had the looming threat of Hurricane Earl that we heard was causing last minute location changes to weddings all along Maine’s coastal areas. I could hear my family and friends whisper about the weekend forecast, doing their best to insulate me from worrying about it. Despite the imminent wrath of Earl, we managed to stay calm and optimistic over in Western Maine. The night before the wedding, it began to rain torrentially just as the last guests dispersed from the rehearsal dinner, and that had us a little worried. Luckily, I awoke the next morning to my sister excitedly pulling the drapes in my room apart to reveal blue skies and news that the hurricane had passed us overnight. And in fact, the storm had lifted the unbearable heat and humidity and the weather was absolutely gorgeous! Another thing the morning revealed for me was that my sisters surprised me with hand-made programs for the ceremony. They used vintage paper and apparently it was quite the undertaking, and even caused them to have to pull an all-nighter the previous week to finish them! </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Our wedding day was perfect and I still savor every detail to this day. Sandy took our vision and elevated it to a level Joe and I never imagined possible. The wedding was designed to be a procession from the church to the cocktail hour and finally to the Paris Hill Academy for the reception, all located on the same winding road. It all unfolded gorgeously as I had hoped. On the advice of my best friend and maid-of-honor, Stephanie, I was adamant that we take a group shot of everyone immediately after the ceremony. That is one thing I truly recommend if possible. There is something so American Gothic about those shots. </em></p>
<p><em>At the backyard cocktail hour held at Joe’s cousin’s home, guests sipped prosecco with a single blueberry and local beer, while the bluegrass band played at the edge of the lawn. Our reception was held in an antique building that was formerly the Paris Hill Academy. Multi-colored dahlias of all sizes were arranged delicately in vintage glass bottles, along with several other rustic accents. The ambience was simple and reflected the relaxed elegance of Paris Hill. We dined on an Italian-inspired menu (Joe’s favorite) served family-style (my favorite). We wanted people to pass and share food, and refill their wine glasses from bottles open on the table. We had a delicious red velvet wedding cake, as well as homemade whoopee pies, but guests went crazy for the candy buffet (go figure!). We danced late into the night to the Beatles and Elvis, as sleepy kids went home one by one (unless, that is, they fell asleep on the benches that lined the dance floor, and allowed their parents to sneak a few more songs in ). Being surrounded by our families and closest friends in a place so special to us – I couldn’t have imagined it any other way. </em></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">From <a href="http://www.politophotography.com/" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.bellafloraofdallas.com" target="_blank">Bella Flora of Dallas</a>..<em>.A modern styled fete was created for Kristen Scheble and Steve Flory on April 16, 2011 with a simple ceremony at a private residence and The Nasher Sculpture Gardens.  The color palette was in all whites, grays and dashes of pink/lavender.  Everything about this wedding was carefully coordinated by this super stylish bride who wore a custom tailored lace gown.  Flowers used in the wedding ranged from stark white phaeleonopsis orchids, Dutch jumbo white hydrangea, cymbidium orchids, dendrobium orchids and oh so sweet fragrant lilac.  Mercury glass vessels of varying shapes decked two long tables along with a glorious presentation of glass orbs housing LED lights and single stemmed orchid blooms.  A most memorable wedding for sure.</em></p>
