But, really, how could you not daydream the day away when taking in every last amazing moment captured by Amanda Julca?

It's was a party planned to perfection by ZBR Events (complete with late night donuts from ...

I grew up smack dab in the middle of the Midwest so whenever a farm wedding like this comes my way, I feel right at home. But before you write this off as another uber rustic shindig, let me assure you this is not your average farm wedding. It's the farm wedding elevated to a new level of sophistication and style with every color in the pastel rainbow and enough lace to make a wedding lover weep. Find all of Austin Warnock's ...
The best part about blogging is, bar none, the people you get to "meet" along the way. Miss Samantha of Could i Have That? is one such person.

Just take a look at some of her favourite...
Fact: when you combine ultra-cool contemporary stylings, a breathtaking all-white color palette and the glamour that is Miami Beach, it's always a magical thing. Especially when that trio of goodness is executed by some of Florida's finest vendors, like the uber-amazing Kitanim and Michelle Lawson Photography. Together (with Linsey Harris Smith and Erin...
A note to my future (still undetermined) groom-to-be: I want this wedding. I want to be married at the always breathtaking Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse with gorgeous blooms from Peony and Plum dotting every inch of space. I want to tie the knot amongst the natural beauty of the Los Olivos mountains, followed by a rustic meets elegant celebration styled to perfection by...
We have an extra special twofer coming your way captured by Megan Sorel Photography that all started with a western-themed rehearsal dinner. Think a happy celebration out in the open air serenaded by a Johnny Cash cover band and some grilled cheese noshing. And what followed is a wedding on the opposite site of the design spectrum yet totally keeping in tune with the idea of a happy, happy celebration. Crafted by ...

This is the kind of shoot that you can breath in. It's so fresh, so romantic, so clean you can just smell the cherry blossoms and taste the sweets. Frost Photography was behind her well-seasoned lens, letting the simplicity of romance shine through her images. And those gems from KiraKira? All of them are officially on my Birthday List.
Okay. So you might be wondering what in the world an ice cream base is. Well, my friends, an ice cream base is a very important Summer tool. Because it's the PERFECT foundation for every kind of homemade ice cream on the planet. Whether you're shaking it in a zip locked bag (totally works, I've tried it) or you're popping it in your electric mixer (loooove ours), this base will provide the groundwork for...

Confession. I have already started to panic about Winter. I know, it's nuts. But it's almost JULY people and Summer is my favorite favorite favorite time in the world, with long and lazy days, beautiful wispy sundresses and lunches and brunches and everything in between held outside in the perfect Summer sun. I think I must be a Californian at heart because letting go of inspiration like this adorable Summer inspired brunch designed by ...
I think I found a new favorite venue, and it's the Little White House. I fell head over heels for the pretty space the minute I laid eyes on this wedding, which just so happens to be the most charming, most lovely soiree I've seen in some time. With a crazy gorgeous white color palette and a beautiful couple celebrating their obvious love, you can't help but love every single moment captured beautifully by ...
Here's what I love about this wedding: the bride and groom are seriously adorable (see: their proposal story), the ceremony was held at the stunning St. Gabriels in Chicago (they were the fourth generation married there!) and there's not one.single.moment that isn't overflowing with sweet, sweet details. That, my friends, is a pretty amazing combo. And when you add in an...
We've been swooning over the florals by Petals and Hedges in this stunning shoot since it landed in our laps, so it goes without saying we are chomping at the bit to share it with all of you. Because as gorgeous as the florals are, everything else (styled to perfection by Waverly Road Events) is equally breathtaking. From the pin-worthy paper by...
Confession time. I've never really considered myself a girly girl. (I know, I know... a non-girly girl obsessed with weddings. Such a juxtaposition.) I prefer flip flops to heels, football games to The Real Housewives and I can't bake one.single.thing. But, when it comes to the color pink, well... my tomboyish tendencies take a serious back seat. Because pretty pink hues playing nice with a drop-dead gorgeous (Houston) wedding? That's an entirely different kind of lovely. See it...
