If I could wrap up all of my many wedding loves into one picture perfect wedding...this would probably be it. It's the soft, romantic style that I so adore, a dress so lovely I could cry and all mixed with some of the best of the best vendors in the biz. They have that that golden touch and the result is nothing short of wedding perfection. From the the ultimate in romantic details crafted by Joy de Vivre to the heart-ackingly pretty florals...

There is just something special about, simply put, a wedding in a barn. They can be rustic, they can be chic, they can be totally homegrown, and so often they are a fab combination of all three. The proof is in the big, wooden building of this Santa Barbara vineyard wedding. Braedon Photography captured a brilliant day of love, cupcakes (from Enjoy Cupcakes, no less), and farm... [MORE]

I think succulents are taking over the wedding world right now, and I am A OK with that. They make me stop in my tracks when I see their pretty petals, and I instantly want to touch them. Like right now for instance, each of these images make me want to reach through the screen. Regardless, this delicious affair shot by Michelle Warren Photography is completely succulent in every sense of the word. It's sweet, it's personal and wait until... [MORE]

I am very rarely speechless when it comes to weddings. Sure, I swoon, obsess and generally go crazy about once a week over some fabulous something that comes into our inbox. But I am rarely speechless. This wedding has left me just that - speechless - so instead of trying to come up with an introduction that would do Aaron Delesie's wedding justice, I'll just quote our sweet Elaine when she saw this little gem..."holy freaking cow...

Aaron is not only a good friend of ours, he is also one of the most talented, thoughtful... [MORE]
