I am dying over the darling details, the sweet ceremony decor, and the artistic little touches. You...
Good morning. We come baring gifts of the wedding kind. If you are in the mood for a floral extravaganza, you have come to the right place. This is a serious swoonfest and that's not all this wedding is toting – the food is pretty drool-worthy as well. I don't think it gets much better than pizza and tacos. Sara Remington of Anna Kuperberg Photography, snapped all the pretty pictures and...

Carmel Valley in the central coast of California is literally the stuff that dreams are made of and so it makes perfect sense why this wedding held at The Stonepine Estate in Carmel Valley is dreamy, dreamy to the millionth degree. Anna Kuperberg, one of our absolute faves, was on hand to capture the elegance and paired with design and styling by 8events, this day turned out to be a...
If my happy place were a shoe (and not gonna lie, sometimes it is) then these shoes would surely be it. And so too would the fabulous emerald beauties that the lovely bride is sporting on her earlobes. But that's not what this post is about. Instead we are focusing on the gorgeous wedding that this adorable couple (who happened to be dressed ever so chic) held on a shoestring budget while still managing to have a knock-it out of the park affair. And if you want to see the FULL day from pretty...

Since most of us can't up and leave, we can instead live vicariously through this paradise infused wedding at a former sugar mill. It is filled to the tippy-top with tropical DIY projects and of course, a stunning couple. Lovely Leaf Studios captured the magic and they have a lot more where this came from in the...
This classic Chicago wedding with hints of vintage is so up my alley, you have no idea. The brooches, the slate grey bridesmaid dresses and don't even think about overlooking those music sheet confetti cones. I am in love with them! There's a reason why I love featuring vintage-inspired weddings - They're typically the perfect combination of gorgeous and timeless. And this wedding is the epitome of both those things. It's divine! Head over to the...

What happens if your venue gets flooded weeks before your wedding? Well if you're this couple, you stay calm and carry on and manage to have one rockin backyard shindig despite the circumstances. Rain on (or around) your wedding day is good luck after all, isn't that the way the story goes? It must be, because this day is brimming over with love and family and the cutest of touches. Captured by Michael Howard Photography, we are...
We always love the weddings that Northern Cali based wedding planner, Amy Nichols, sends our way. The attention to detail is generally off the charts gorgeous and she always manages to score the brides with the coolest style. Well, this next little number is no exception.
