Confession: I have a thing for sweaters. I just might own one in every color and would wear them every single day if I could. So when I spied with my little eyes all those pretty bridesmaids lined up in a row and sporting a magnificent array of colorful knitwear; it completely made my year. Jason + Anna Photography captured the magic swirling around this... [MORE]
There is something oh-so-sweet about this Houston wedding. I can't quite put my finger on it. It could be the adorable, little flower girl, peeking at the bride. Or maybe the bride herself, stunning in her Melissa Sweet gown. Perhaps it is the warm and romantic ambiance, courtesy of all the candles. Or the green palette, so fresh and floral. You know what? The more I think about it, the more I realize it is... [MORE]

It is THE gown for this chic affair - classic with amazing, gorgeous little details. Coordinated by lovely Lynda of I DO Wedding Consulting, the whole fête went down at the... [MORE]
San Francisco is one of my favorite cities in the world. It is urban and romantic, sophisticated with layers upon layers of history, chic and playful. This wedding by Plum Events in the city by the bay encapsulates the multifaceted personality of the city that the bride and groom both live in and adore. Set in one of the city's finest restaurants, it just goes to show that you don't need a quaint backyard or glittering ballroom... [MORE]
There isn't a rule in the Wedding Planning Handbook that says high-maintenance = high style, and this is just the wedding to prove that. The delegating duo in this darling affair picked vendors they loved, and then just let it all fall into place. The October occasion ended up being a perfect fall fair, and the proof is in the pudding...or in this case, the proof is in all the lovely images by Uplift Photography in... [MORE]

I feel like this next wedding is a page out of some great romance film. Like Leonardo Di Caprio should be smoking a cigar and Reese Witherspoon should be rocking a sequined gown, riding an elephant in the background. Okay, maybe not an elephant but doing something fabulously glamorous. It's the kind of wedding that just sweeps you up and makes you fall in love all over again. Thanks to the insanely beautiful photography by... [MORE]

It's a tear jerker for sure but one that I think we can all learn from. Plus, it's one of the sweetest, prettiest weddings we've seen and is overflowing with steal-worthy deets. Pink, peony filled, totally girly steal worthy-deets. [MORE]
I definitely have tomboy tendencies but show me anything with a Parisian flair and I turn into a big squealing girly girl. This Napa Valley wedding by Michelle Walker Photography definitely got my heart racing with blue and white Parisian street signs, French-inspired postcards and an all around feeling of whimsy and enchantment. And how cute are those custom cake toppers made to look like the bride and groom down to her... [MORE]
I love Dan and Natalie of Watson Studios. For many reasons, but on the top of my list is their ability to capture the very essence of the couple's personality in each and every wedding I've seen from them. So you know when they were asked to capture the wedding of their dear friend in the gorgeous mountains of North Carolina, it was going to be a good one. Well folks, it turned out better than good. It's all that is lovely about... [MORE]
