It might be absolutely frigid in most parts of the country, but this adorable DIY Sacramento celebration is sure to give you the warm and fuzzies. It was a complete family affair, so you know I immediately became sappy and heavy on the oohs and ahhs. For example, the table numbers were from the shingles of the grandmother of the groom's house! All together now, ahhhhh....And don't get me started on the gorgeous floral design by...

With Lake Tahoe as their wedding backdrop, it's easy to see why this incredibly hip couple wanted to accentuate the natural beauty of the location throughout their planning. Their love for nature and fun personality oozes out of the breathtaking images by We Heart Photography. It doesn't stop there, all of the details - including the ever so important beer pairing at dinner - personalized the event to give them a day like no other.
We see a lot of rustic, outdoor affairs but a well designed city soiree can be equally as gorgeous in our eyes. Take for instance this Cincinnati wedding that has the perfect mix of glam (hello gilded chargers) and a fantabulous urban chic backdrop. If you are yearning for more of this Ohio beauty, head over to the gallery. It is filled to the absolute brim with so many pretty images from...
Yesterday, Abby mentioned that she's starting to like the idea of "themed" weddings. In the olden days, she would have cringed at that word! But brides, today, are really "getting it." They've become adept at merging those little pieces of their own interests and personality with those of their groom's, resulting in very unique and personalized celebrations.
It is Wednesday and our submissions box is overflowing (not that we're complaining!) which means there is a whole lot of wedding eye candy headed your way as we clear things out. It is a total win win. If you completely fall in love with a wedding, don't forget to click on the gallery to see every nook and cranny of it.
So, without further ado, we are going to jump right into our first pretty number. Captured by...
The fabulous Kate Holt, at Flowerwild in Southern California, is kind of like my flower hero. Her work totally and completely blows me away...of course because it's beautiful, but also because it has this "kate" effect, where you find yourself completely giddy the minute you open one of her picture perfect weddings. And this one, photographed by the equally talented...
The Nichols never cease to amaze me with their portfolio of crazy gorgeous weddings and honestly, they always manage to shoot the COOLEST couples with picture perfect style and the dreamiest of details. But this Austin wedding literally stopped me dead in my tracks as soon as I spotted the Bride and her lovely red lipstick. She is a total knock-out and the wedding? Beautiful vintage details and over the top romance all styled...
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I am officially on the "theme wedding" bandwagon. I know, sounds crazy. But frankly, after seeing dozens of weddings where a theme was so delicately and so beautifully threaded into each and every detail...I'm a total believer that a theme wedding can be absolutely magical. Such is the case with this next little number. A literary themed affair, pulled off to perfection for $13,000. Which is shocking when you see just how many wonderful little...
We haven't talked about color palettes (a.k.a. wedding colors) in a long long time! But when this wedding fell into our lap, oh boy! The colors simply blew us away! ummmm.... a virtual explosion! Bold and sassy, while remaining romantic and fresh. From Modern Bouquet ~ a profusion of loveliness!

Well this wedding is just darling. Darling I tell you! It's so delightful and comfy, it's hard not to smile looking at all the beautiful images from Cheri Pearl Photography. With the gorgeous Orcas Island as the setting, and all the completely adorable DIY projects (including one of our SMP downloads!), it's easy to see why we are loving this...
There have been some fine soirees coming out of Madison, Wisconsin recently! This next wedding from Jonathan Hoffner Photography is by no means an exception and is dazzling with its vintage details and French flair. Colleen is a bride (and blogger) after my own heart taking total advantage of the fantastic finds on Etsy and crafting a perfectly...
Inspiration for weddings comes in many ways, shapes and forms ~ but today's wedding, ooooh wow! A Faberge egg. The intricate design and colors of the extraordinary Lilies of the Valley Faberge egg gave rise to an absolutely beautiful celebration and five, yes five, delicately designed cakes. ...
We are going to start our week off on the right foot with this pretty number sent to us by Wildflowers Photography. If the photographer's name is any indication, the wild bouquets are in abundance as well as a healthy dose of laid-back California cool. So sit back, take a few sips of that coffee and lets dive right into this rustic beauty. Oh and Happy Monday! See more California cool in the...

Sometimes all it takes is one FABULOUS detail to send us spinning into a fit of love. The object of our adoration can run the gamut from the prettiest bouquet to one extremely adorable video wedding invitation and once in awhile, it can be as simple as the perfect...
My heart uttered a little squeal when I first laid eyes on this next wedding by Scott Lawrence Photographs. Orange isn't a color we get to see much of in weddings and that is a low down dirty shame. It adds such an element of fun especially against a rustic backdrop like this one. Fun is definitely bursting from every corner here as well as loads of charm and handmade projects galore! ...
It's easy to see why guests of this wedding traveled all over the world to be part of the elegant, week-long Californian affair captured by Wildflowers Photography. I would happily do the same for an event with scrumptious food by the girl & the fig CATERS! and to die for floral design by Atelier Joya. It's a...
Let me just preface this first wedding by saying I KNOW we post a ton of California nuptials and the majority of those hale from a little spot of Heaven called Napa but seriously, sometimes they are just too pretty to pass up. So what to do with a gorgeous wedding held on a private estate in wine country and photographed to total perfection by onelove photography? Why we blog the heck out of it, of course. Because in the end, it...
