If you are just now joining us, we're all about real weddings today. A little something for every taste, for every style, for every budget. And who says weddings have to include a huge poofy white dress, a church and a ballroom. Definitely not us. We've fallen hard for this backyard affair that is ALL about having fun and celebrating with the ones you love. Photographed by Jeffrey Sampson, this really is what a wedding is all about.

Carla Ten Eyck, one of the most talented photographers around, sent us this next little gem. This wedding has a dash of classic mixed with a tad of rock n' roll and a stylish bride rocking an amazingly ruffled Betsy Johnson number. Swoon, swoon, swoon. And as if the dress weren't enough to get your motor running, you should take a gander at those gorgeous blue velvet shoes. Not only is the attire fantastic, but this style savvy couple...

"I LOVE to tell a good story!"
When I was little, my parents took me to visit my aunt, who happened to live in a perfect apartment right on the Boston Commons. An all white, absolutely perfect apartment right on the Boston Commons. I fell in love. Not with the apartment really, but with the idea of dressing my world in white. And ever since then, that is exactly what I have done. White winter coats, white furniture, white purses, shoes, pants, even white sofas. Gasp. So when I saw this white inspired wedding shoot sent to...

And get this...BOTH the bride and the groom work for the famed rental company, Classic Party Rentals. So, it's a given that the linens, the furniture, the fabric (the...

Ok, get comfortable my friends, 'cause you're in for a treat. Now, my calendar says it's mid-May, but I've had to rely on the heater under my desk for warmth, it's been so chilly. However, when two of my favorite ladies, Vania and Christine of SimplyBloom Photography sent this wedding my way, I was so excited by what I saw that I turned the thing off. This wedding was all I needed to warm me right up! I don't know if...

This little bit of heaven is pretty much the reason that I tell people I have the best job on the planet. It's a fashion shoot. In Paris. With cake. And a CRAZY beautiful dress. It's why little girls dream about their wedding from the time they turn five until they see that pretty ring on their finger. It's beyond, absolutely positively beyond. And did I mention that some of my all time favorite vendors are behind the gorgeousness? Yep...
