The best part about today's featured affair is by far the kids. They are so stinking cute. Having parents that encouraged them to kick off their shoes, run around and get a little dirty is the icing on this gorgeous wedding cake.
Kids just innately bring joy to whatever they do. It's in their genetic make-up or something. And although having a screeching baby belt one out in the middle of your vows isn't exactly ideal, if you have the space for the little ones to run around and...
Most days, I try to feature weddings that are really detail driven...that give you solid inspiration and ideas for your own affair. But today, I am instead going a little sentimental and sharing a wedding that is completely family driven. When I saw these photographs that Our Labor of Love shot, I completely fell in love. With the couple, with the kids, with the incredibly photography. It's a wedding after my own heart, where family...
Here is the last set of our official Wiley Valentine sneak peek. If you've fallen in love, just shoot the girls an email and they will help you with pricing, design and ordering. All of the designs are flat printed on 100% cotton paper (tree free) and they have a promotion going on right now for 10% off all wedding orders through the month of April...just one more day!
For those of you that don't know about the National Stationery Show, it's basically like the holy grail of everything paper. With the economy slowing down a bit, this year the trend is ALL about affordable luxury and Wiley Valentine is at the top of our must-see list. They are introducing their second Luxe book at the show and have been sweet enough to give us all a little sneak peek!

And her amazing, vintage inspired details. Kirsten custom makes sashes and headbands using antique crystals, beading and ribbons...the perfect way to bring a little special something to your look. A little bit romantic, a little bit bohemian chic, each piece is customized especially for you so that it suits your design to perfection.
I love it when the girls over at Wiley Valentine send us their new designs. Each one is always so fresh, so innovative...perfect for a bride that is looking for something a little bit modern, a little bit traditional. Their latest collection is all about approachable couture, designs that push the envelope of ready made and allow you to have something that is totally unique at a price that is totally doable.

Okay, I am madly in love with the bridesmaids dresses that today's featured bride, Laura, chose for her girls. I am not usually a huge fan of purple (having lived through 10 years of purple obsession by my best friends) but I swooned when I saw these gowns. They are so pretty, so girly. Wispy and delicate while still being totally elegant.

I have to admit, I have a bit of a girl crush on today's bride. She is not only drop dead gorgeous, she has a style that is one part glam, one part sweet and sophisticated. A perfect combination. Plus, the affair took place in the beautiful Australia, a place that I am becoming more and more obsessed with as I start to see so much Aussie style and innovation in the weddings that I've received....

The best part about today's wedding, in my humble opinion, is that the pair actually draped their uncle's garage to look like something right out of a fairytale. Complete unabashed garage luxury! LOVE.

Ever since I saw Father of the Bride years ago, I've had this thing for home grown weddings. There is something so romantic, so warm about a wedding at the home of someone you love. It's just so soulful, so completely intimate. And this absolutely beautiful wedding that Jen Huang photographed, is no exception...

I fell head over heels for this wedding the minute I saw it. Any wedding that Jen Huang photographs is generally a keeper, but there is something special about the quaint, simple style of this particular affair that I just love.

Today's first real wedding is all about sweet, effortless charm.

This one, designed by Mindy Rice, was spotted over on La Fleur Weddings & Events blog and was crafted as a flower girl box. But, I think that it would look pretty spectacular as a centerpiece on a rustic, chic table style. Think white linen, lace overlays, vintage silver and perhaps mismatched white china. Total perfection. Photograph by...
I am being a bit of a lazy blogger today and am actually looking to a few of my favorite spots to provide inspiration for all of us. I found this next set of absolutely gorgeous wedding photographs over on Veiled Vows, an edgy little blog chocked full with wedding eye candy (including a set of pictures from Speidi's...did I just say that...hollywood affair!).
This wedding was shot by the hugely talented Heather Gilson...
