In fact, I'm really hoping some of you are getting married this weekend and embracing the cold weather trends. As it is almost quitting time, we've got one last treat for you LBBers in the form of a fantastic farm engagement session á la... [MORE]
Oh dear California ranch wedding, let me count the ways in which I love you. I love the flowers, with the just-picked-from-the-field feel, courtesy of The Green Vase. I love the custom drink, brewed by the groom for his bride with adoration and love. I love the stunning locale - Thacher Winery - with it's big, beautiful barn, and the gorgeous hilly backdrop. I love the gorgeous... [MORE]
I couldn't help but take a quick break from my Labor Day festivities to share with all of you this sweet-as-can-be e-session by I Love Wednesdays. I mean, really...How cute can this couple get? I love their sense of fashion and the way they look at each other and embrace. It's really, really, really, adorable and has totally put a big smile on my face on this rainy, cold morning. [MORE]
With the record breaking heat wave our nation is experiencing this summer, I think it's about time for a breath of fresh air. This Wisconsin barn wedding was a great reminder as to why summer is so perfect for our favorite activity - weddings. The warm weather just seems to put a smile on everyone's faces. The summer color palettes are so much fun. And there are amazing, amazing flowers everywhere. Like the gorgeous bouquet from... [MORE]
Want to see why we always have ants in our pants for Monday mornings? It's because of weddings like this by Vicki Bartel. To die for. Fluffy pink peonies, DIY details done with so much love, and most adorable of all - it was held at the bride's family sheep farm. It just doesn't get prettier than this, so I highly recommend you pair your cup of jo this Monday morning with all the delightful images ... [MORE]
This adorable Arkansas couple's story is certainly a sweet one. Once high school sweethearts, they may have parted ways but this lovestruck groom never quite got over his fair-haired, first love. After years apart they reunited and, four months later, were ready to wed! And what a beautiful wedding it was! A sweet, whimsical day filled with vintage pieces and gorgeous florals all put together by the talented ... [MORE]
Growing up in rural Massachusetts, summers always meant playing out in the backyard, swimming in the local watering hole, berry picking and coming home to feast on some fresh New England grub. I loved the al fresco dinner parties that my parents would throw surrounded by fireflies and candelight. This beautiful Inspiration to Reality photo shoot by ... [MORE]
Rise and shine LBBers, because we've got a sweet, vintage present for you this morning! Engagement shoots are a great way to infuse your personality and maybe even a few unique ideas into your special day. This Indiana engagement shoot reminds us a little of everyone's favorite chick flick - The Notebook. And we love the shoot, from m three studio, just as much as we love us some Noah and Ally. That old, flawless red car? Simply... [MORE]
You gotta love a couple who thinks outside the mason jar for their completely handcrafted, Canadian farm fairytale of a wedding. I give major props to anyone who plans and crafts their big day all on their own (with the help of family and friends, of course) but casting personalized ceramic jars for centerpieces just goes above and beyond in my opinion. Being a firm believer that the engagement should be just as much fun as the wedding and, though it must have been a lot of hard work, I... [MORE]
The next wedding is a little ray of sunshine during these cold, winter months. I adore the birds and twigs throughout the decor representing the two family trees joining together. Scrumptious pops of lemony yellow hues and sweet little touches, like the embroidered tablecloths, warm up this remarkable, rustic Vermont barn. There is more from Orchard Cove Photography in the...

The nights may be getting longer and colder but we aren't ready to say our goodbyes to Fall just yet! We did a little jig when we laid eyes on this delicious Wisconsin wedding from Emily Steffen. It is just bursting with rustic details and handmade goodies perfect for an autumn farm celebration. We're totally smitten with all of the vintage touches, handcrafted fabric bouquets and the lovely ginger-haired bride that is... [MORE]
This Vermont wedding is full of good ol' New England charm with a bit of DIY yumminess tucked in! There are so many steal-worthy ideas from the handmade bird mobiles to a hula hooping reception! Dreamlove Photography totally nailed it with their crisp and colorful images. Wrap up in a blanket, grab a hot cider and check out the full gallery for... [MORE]
I am completely smitten with this next wedding from For You Love Me. There were so many little surprises from the pattern of the table runners to the silhouettes on the frisbees (all handmade, of course). But what really pulls at my heartstrings is the ceremony. There is just something about a Quaker ceremony that is so intimate and heartwarming. Nick and Sasha's love for the people that brought them together was evident in every... [MORE]
How adorable is this next couple? And it's not just because the groom's beard rivals that of my husband. They were married at the bride's parents' home...the very same place where the groom picked her up for their first date! Their wedding, captured by Alison Conklin, was the ultimate handmade soiree. The bride, along with her mom and sisters, not only arranged the flowers themselves but grew most of them too. A summer farm wedding... [MORE]
I've never ventured to Oklahoma but after pouring over the images from today's wedding, I think I am in need of a visit. The fields alone are enough to make me book a ticket. They definitely don't make them like that in Southern California. Do we even have fields? Aaron Snow was the man behind the camera and managed to capture all of the lovely, lovely details of Melissa and TD's day. To say the wedding is gorgeous is... [MORE]
