I'm a sucker for a dog in a bow tie. Also on my love list is al fresco weddings. The kind with gorgeous long tablescapes as far as the eye can see and chandeliers strung from the skies all at the hands of The Stylish Soiree and Branch Out Floral and Event Design. When it comes down to it, I'll take any and all open air venues but the ones in California, they...
Give me a modern wedding and you'll get a big, fat smile. Make that modern blended seamlessly with bright colors and elegant styling and you'll probably get some cartwheels and high kicks.

So this detail-filled beauty, designed to perfection by Custom Event Group, sent me in a blush-loving tizzy. It's the perfect way to start the week, and you can see even more pretty in...
If the bride wasn't fabulously leggy and blonde, I would swear this was my wedding. Well, the wedding that lives in my head anyway. It's pink and perfect and like the prettiest piece of wedding loveliness a girl could ever wish for. With ribbon gracing every corner and a sense of girl built into the very structure of the day. Which doesn't surprised me at all considering the bride is the blogger behind Dessert Darling and she wrote a whole...
I'm sure all you brides and grooms to be know about our Little Black Book. It's a crazy good club for all our fave wedding pros - you'd be insane not to be taking advantage of that resource.

Okay. It's official. I want a wedding do-over and this time I want it to be just like this next wedding by Lisa Lefkowitz. It will be planned and designed by the creative geniuses at Jubilee Lau Events and Gloria Wong Design, just like this wedding. Heck, I may even have it at a museum too!
