To get this pretty party started, I whipped up something different from my last board which had New York City glamour written all over it - this time I'm moving up to the Hudson... [MORE]
What is it about the desert? The light? The sense of time slowing down? Gorgeous, natural surroundings? Really amazing sunsets? I think it might be ALL of the above and what better spot for an intimate wedding. Total perfection if you ask me and these desert festivities were completely DIY from start to finish minus the amazing photography by Kurt Boomer of course. His images have completely rocked my world one amazing succulent... [MORE]
When I was younger, Anne of Green Gables was my ultimate hero. At a very young age, I would have probably up and run away to Prince Edward Island if that meant I could meet her and her beau - the dreamy Gilbert Blythe - and live next to the Lake of Shining Waters. To me, that little island was just full of magic. I feel that little piece of background is needed before I enter a full on gush fest for this bey-ond perfect PEI photo shoot designed by Cheryl of...

When I first spotted this wedding, I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor. It is singing a pretty, organic outdoor song and is so not what I was expecting when I saw the Las Vegas title. Meredith Carlson Photography did an amazing job of capturing the family style festivities all hand-crafted by the bride and family alike. Gorgeous, right? [MORE]

One of the best parts of this job is getting to spend a few hours everyday, one on one, with beautiful, one of a kind weddings. We get to see all the hard work that went into making each big day THE big day, get to see the profound love shared between each couple, and we get to hear a little about each wedding, usually from the wonderful couple. This Pennsylvania wedding Shane Carpenter for Readyluck sent our way has an absolutely... [MORE]
A good rehearsal dinner can so often be like the more relaxed sister of the wedding. Just as fun, just as beautiful, but a little more inclined to let her hair down. This is why we love a fab rehearsal dinner just as much as a gorgeous wedding. Just looking through Hannah Photography's images of this Colorado rehearsal dinner, gives us such a sense of ease. You can almost feel the wind blowing off the mountain and the gravel under your... [MORE]

The bride planned, designed, and created much of this affair... [MORE]

So why not spread out a few blankets for your guests to lounge on during the ceremony and set the mood for the rest of the evening. ... [MORE]
After devouring every little detail of this rustic Colorado wedding, shot by the talented Susan Pacek, we are so in love with the bride's adorable white cowboy boots. And those are just an appetizer. The boots, alongside the horse, mason jars, and table names fit for a Country Western are pure mountain perfection. And on top of that, the intricate fall florals from... [MORE]

We are so happy to return to one of our favorite venues - The Dana Powers Barn - along the sunny coast of central California. There are already so many fantastic details at the barn, like their amazing wall of vintage mirrors, sweet chalkboard signs and collection of mason jars, that the rest of the design just comes easy and naturally. Each and every wedding always looks like a dream and this is by far one of the dreamiest with photographs by Christan P Photography. ... [MORE]
