I couldn't possibly put my finger on what I love most about this gorgeous ballroom beauty captured by Day7. The first thing I fell in love with was this bride's gorgeous BHLDN gown. It's a stunner. Then I fell in love with the palette of soft pinks. It doesn't get prettier. But then I saw the way this Groom looked at his lovely Bride, and all of the things I loved so much went out...

I'm what some might call an inspiration junkie. I pin, favorite, and store images away like it's my job (and it kind of is) hoping to set my brain in a tailspin of beautiful ideas. Well today's inspiration overload landed right in my lap thanks to this stunning shoot from Tessa Marie Weddings planned by We Tie The Knots. It's everything I seek out each...
Ever since my sister's engagement last May, I've been spending every last second of spare time helping to plan her rustic barn wedding. A task that is made decidedly easier given that my "non-spare time" is spent perusing beautiful details and drop-dead gorgeous weddings. And on days like today, when I get to bask in a pretty little Gedney Farm affair from...

We've been tapping into their talented brains with our Ask the Expert Series, and we're back today with your planning questions answered by our talented LBB planner, Stacey Sainato of...
There's something fiercely magical about the The Ritz at Half Moon Bay. It's the kind of locale that makes for a dream of a wedding, especially when Lyndsey Hamilton Events, rEvolve and Elegant Cheese Cakes have anything to do with it. But what...
Our Livings editor, Jacquelyn, is a travel junkie. Me, not so much. I think when you have two smelly kids, the idea of being too far from home suddenly becomes a bit more, well, daunting. But honestly? Seeing these gorgeous images from the lovely Kimberly Chau from her trip to Puerto Rico sort of makes me want to throw caution to the wind and pack up the whole family. Almost. This trip is beauty defined and there is so much more...

And for you Northeast brides-to-be, I can't wait to share this super exciting event coming up from Robert & Kathleen Photographers! On Sunday, September 22, 2013 from 4pm until 10pm, join Robert & Kathleen Photographers...
Sailboats, gorgeous light, super in love couples - all those things fall happily at the tippy top of my favorite things list. So it basically goes without saying that I want to live in each and every image from 1313 Photography sitting in this gallery. It's true. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite, but I'll happily spend the rest of the day...
There are big weddings and then there are crazy huge weddings, i.e. 500 people huge. But that in no way takes away from the sheer elegance and beauty of this Los Angeles affair. It's a recipe filled with amazing vendors like Tic Tock Florals and Details Details, a penchant for classic beauty and images by ...
It's about all I can do to muster up a pot of coffee in the morning. The prospect of making a big meal before noon is just beyond me. Luckily, there's TOAST! Toast is the answer to most prayers. In this rendition, we're exploring the sweet and savory side of toast. Sometimes we want the sweet jolt of honey and plums, other times we want a kick of salt and spice from prosciutto and pepper. With toast, we can have it all! And... we can make it with one eye open. Coffee helps. For...
I'm the fabric girl. I'm a little obsessed. I have been known to buy a fabric with no plans for it, and then worry about using it for the "wrong thing" - meaning it sits in my pretty fabric pile for years. So needless to say, I am a little obsessed with the custom Chinoiserie table linens in this gorgeous wedding from Thérèse Marie Wagner Photography. But even I will admit they are just the icing on the fabulous cake that is...
You just might recognize this gorgeous duo. They graced our pages last week with their beyond stylish engagement sesh, but guess what, loves? That was only part one. And if you can believe it, part two has even more pretty to devour with stunning beach captures by Ashley Kelemen and florals from ...
My daughter Audrey is my mini-SMPer. She helps with photo shoots, recipes & cooking (check out these Whoopie Pies we made!) and her 5-year-old loveliness is a constant source of inspiration for posts. So of course, when I mentioned that I wanted to transform our recently acquired fruit into some homemade apple pie & strawberry jam pop tarts, well, you can probably...
We sort of pride ourselves on being expert wedding pinners around these parts. Striving to curate the prettiest of pinboards overflowing with inspiration all the live long day. So when we heard InStyle had nominated us for their Social Media Awards -- in the "...
It goes without saying that I am a sucker for details. But what really gets me when I am looking through a wedding is love. The way a couple looks at each other, the hugs from family - those little moments in between the big moments always make me swoon. So when I come across a wedding like this one from Lumens Photography I feel like I've hit the jackpot, because it's filled to the brim with both.
Intimate weddings are my favorite. Maybe that's because I've always pictured my own wedding day as a small celebration with just the closest of family and friends... or maybe it's because I adore anything cozy and comfy. My guess? It's a sweet combination of all of the above and the reason I can't stop swooning over this Beverly Hills affair planned to perfection by The Charming Little Company. It's what I call pure...
From start to finish, this Alberta affair from Debbie Wong Photography is just downright adorable. The kind of adorable that makes your heart do flips and your fingers anxious to start pinning all the pretty. You might even want to spend all day soaking up the sweetness, and you can do just that right here. From...
Mixing rustic and modern just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite wedding combinations; a style choice that is guaranteed to make me weak in the knees the moment I lay my eyes on its pure awesomeness. Such is the case with this beautiful day captured by C. Tyson Photography, a stop-you-in-your-tracks DIY affair set against the industrial amazingness known as the ...
You know what's amazing? Two (stunning) architects saying "I do" against the beautiful backdrop that is the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in a day planned to perfection by Joyful Details and boasting more than its fair share of pretty. I'm talking a day that features gorgeous (+ modern) florals from...
Florence is a magical place in itself. Florence combined with an intimate destination wedding dripping in romance brings that magic to an entirely new level. It's a combination that will certainly make your heart flutter a time or two, particularly because the images from John Zillioux and Lisa Poggi Photography are overflowing with pretty. It was all...
