The breathtaking setting, the beyond gorgeous florals, the seaside reception... I simply can't say enough about this beach chic meets elegant affair. Which is why I'll be spending my Thursday soaking in every last brilliant...
Some people have a wedding day and some people have a full blown weekend extravaganza devoted solely to celebrating their love. I happen to be an uber fan of the latter. It just sounds so amazing, right? Being surrounded by friends and family for three days of welcome parties, brunches and all out merriment. Jillian Mitchell photographed this Wellesley weekend complete with stunning Ghanian touches and it's beautiful in every sense of...
Want to know my favorite part about weddings? I love all the sweet details, like the little jars of pie filling as escort cards used in this affair. I love the fabulous style, and the way it comes out in the fashion and the decor, like those great little seating areas. I love the floral design, intricate, sweet, modern, or romantic. But I capital LOVE getting to see what makes the couple tick from the photos, which...

I'm such a complete and total sucker for white tulips so once I spotted this wedding and those dramatic centerpieces, I knew I would be gushing for hours.

Ashley Daniell Photography was there to capture all the sweet details, like those amazing...
This gorgeous North Fork wedding by Adam Piorkowski might have fallen on one unusually chilly June day, but a little rain and cold wasn't about to stop this adorable bride and groom from having the time of their lives.

Up next we've got a seriously fun and colorful DIY wedding by Stacy Jacobsen Photography to share with you.

I think backyard, black tie might be my new favorite wedding category after seeing this Beaufort beauty by Virgil Bunao. It is so breathtakingly gorgeous - with that South Carolina charm that seems to bounce off the screen and a bride that couldn't be prettier.
