You can put away your rose colored glasses this afternoon. We've got something so much better to get you through the rest of you day. The most amazing, romantic, sweet California soiree that is bound to put a permagrin right across your face. At least, that is what happened to me when I first opened up this wedding from Julie Mikos | Photographer. The smile hasn't left my face for days. The whole affair exudes classic romance, and has a... [MORE]
From the baby's breath lining the aisle to a Bride with a penchant for pretty hair things (the proof is in her Etsy shop), this vineyard wedding is a lovely representation of California nuptials done RIGHT. Blooms by Martha Andrews infused the day with an abundance of pretty petals and a bridal bouquet that stopped us dead in our tracks. I don't know if it's the... [MORE]
Like the little black dresses the lovely bridesmaids have donned, this Sonoma Valley wedding is chic and classic. In my humble opinion, you definitely can not go wrong with a summer vineyard wedding in California. It's the recipe for perfection. And when you add Fleurs de France's fabulous flora to the mix, well then, the whole affair is promised to reach beyond perfect. All the details, captured by... [MORE]
Diana M. Lott Photography + SMS Photography captured this Napa fête and one word comes to mind. TIMELESS. From the elegant hydrangeas, to the classic alfresco tablescape and all of the other pretty bits coordinated by Clink Events, we are all a flutter over this little nugget. [MORE]
One of the things we hear the most from our brides-to-be is just how stinkin' difficult it can be to pick your colors. There are so many things to consider when concerning the color palette of their big day. What sort of ambiance you want to portray? What colors will work well with your surroundings? What time of year are you marrying? Does orange really work with your maid of honor's skin tone? It can easily become the topic you least want to discuss. But what are we here for, if not to give...

Spring is here, and that means summer is knock, knock, knocking on the door next. If there were a wedding that could completely embody a warm, sunny, summer day, this would be it. The yellow and red palette mixed with the big sunflowers and sweet little ring bearer and flower girl are just as wonderful as the warm sun on your face. Gertrude & Mabel Photography captured the light, the love, and the sweetness of this California... [MORE]

Let me just preface this pretty wedding by saying that each and every time we feature nuptials in the golden fields of Sonoma, our socks are completely rocked right off. It could be the generous amounts of California sun or maybe it's something in the water out there. Who knows. We're too busy gawking at the lovely pictures from Sasha Gulish Photography and the flowers, oh the flowers – those pretty petals are courtesy of... [MORE]
I've been staring at this next wedding for the last hour and something about it just kind of takes my breath away. It's this perfect combination of backyard effortlessness and total elegance. A combo that isn't that easy to pull off this beautifully. I think that it's probably the insanely gorgeous flowers that has taken this design to an entirely new level...but the perfectly gorgeous bride in her perfectly gorgeous gown, the wedding cake that I want to magically appear at my front doorstep...

Part two of our first real wedding of the New Year. That sounds so important doesn't it? Well, the wedding was pretty special, more than deserving of the title. I mentioned in my last post that my favorite thing about this affair (and my favorite new wedding trend for that matter) is the different hued bridesmaids dresses. So cute, such a fun way to infuse color, such a great way to give each girl a dress that she truly loves. But the adorableness didn't stop there. The reception was... [MORE]
