Engaging Events by Ali aided in creating a dream wedding that definitely feels... [MORE]
This wedding had me at that adorable ring bearer. Sweet little ring bearers in the cutest duds ever plus puppies? Kryptonite. (You can even catch a few of his sweet dance moves in the fantastic highlight film). So now that I've professed my adoration for that adorable ring bearer, I've got two more to make. Yep, I'm feeling sappy today. The highlight film from CinemaCake Filmmakers. You HAVE to block out a few minutes of your day to watch... [MORE]

I have a serious soft spot for those Colorado Rockies and an even softer spot for couples that totally embrace whatever their big day may bring... including rain and snow. This couple got a little of both. With smiles and umbrellas (and the cutest no crying banners) they marched down the aisle on a cool Colorado morning giggling at Mother Nature along the way. Jenna Walker Photographers captured this couple's snow-filled I... [MORE]
We've made it to another weekend, LBBers. Here's to hoping it's filled with successful planning, parties, love, kisses, and sunshine (among other lovely things).

This lovely, rainy Texas day could have had the couple calling for a raincheck, but with a fantastic pair of green boots and a couple of... [MORE]
No bride spends her days wishing, hoping, and praying that it will rain on her wedding day. But, Mother Nature doesn't always consult the couple for her big day plans. Lucky for brides everywhere, we believe that rainy weddings not only bring good luck to the bride and groom, but make for an extremely warm and intimate affair. An ambiance that just can't be emulated without a little water from the sky. Example: this California wedding at the... [MORE]

There is a lot to love about today's featured affair. It's sweet simplicity. It's utter charm. It's approachable, effortless style. But most of all, I am totally smitten with the laid back elegance of the day.
