The lovely (and very creative) Bride at the center of this amazing Bear Flag Farm wedding said she wanted her guests to feel as though they walked into a very whimsical, private moment - and I do believe she achieved just that. Her wedding to her dashing Groom was not only a reflection of them as a couple, but it also was a simply stunning affair from start to finish. ...

This couple is so in love, it's palpable. Like it jumps straight from the computer screen and right into your heart the very second you lay your eyes on their smiling faces and non-stop happiness. It's the kind of love that is downright contagious... and their wedding?

When it comes to throwing magical weddings, this darling duo really knows how it's done. I mean, they reallllly know how it's done. Because not only did they pick one of the coolest venues around to hold their festivities (the Ravinia Festival), they hired an amazing team of vendors to bring their rustic meets awesome dream to a total reality. I'm talking the planning prowess of...
Daring Wanderer describes this gorgeous wedding at The Windermere Manor as a "photographer's dream" - but I think it's safe to say it's a blogger's dream too. And a reader's.

There are the weddings of our dreams, and then there are dream weddings that are actually reality. This gorgeous Greece wedding from Shell de Mar Photography falls nicely into that second category. It's so stunning it's hard to believe that it was anything short of a fantasy, but it was indeed the way this couple said I do. With the magical Kinsterna Hotel & Spa setting...
There isn't a moment of this Block Island beauty that I don't adore. And when I say adore, I mean I want to crawl into the beautiful pictures from A Guy and A Girl Photography and never leave. It's really no surprise when Ryan Designs was behind the decor, Ceci New York was the creative mind behind those...
This bride has a style all her own. A downright fabulous style that combines her serious beauty with a gorgeous Barbara Allin gown and a crazy amazing Anthropologie headpiece. It's the kind of style that lights up the room with every last smile and, when set against a breathtaking Tybee Island backdrop, it's almost too pretty to believe. L'Art Orange Photography captured every...

At the heart of every wedding is a love story. A weak at the knees, let's grow old together kind of story that sets my heart aflutter time and time again. But what makes this one a wee bit sweeter is that this adorable duo grew up together -- even attending the same pre-school. But as fate would have it, it wasn't until just five years ago that they truly fell in love. The celebration? A classic Long Island affair with pops of pink blooms by ...
While over-the-top styled events are always appreciated for their inspirational qualities, sometimes it's nice to sit back and focus on real-live ones that are completely and totally feasible. Events like this simple yet elegant dinner party that Molly Pollet threw for her graduate boyfriend (congrats graduate boyfriend!) With just a few key elements (like calligraphy place cards - swoon), this celebration is effortless perfection.
A wedding filled with this much heart is a sure-fire way to make me break out the awwws.

From the pretty palette to the sweet details planned by Simply Couture Weddings and all the special moments in between - this is...

I mean, the hustle and bustle of the city, the seriously stunning backdrops, the never-ending lineup of fabulous locales... it's a city simply made for capturing that pre-wedding bliss. And when that pre-wedding bliss comes in the form of an uber-cute couple such as this one, it makes it all the more merrier with smile after smile captured by...
Before you even get swept up in all the lovely captured by the seriously talented folks at Docuvitae, promise me you'll take some time to read the description from the Groom.

Design is something I am completely, wholeheartedly, 100% comfortable with. But fashion? Fashion is one area in which I need a bit of guidance. Enter: Jacey. Her blog, Damsel in Dior, has long become my total go-to for wardrobe tips, styling ideas and fashion advice. So it was with great pleasure that I had the chance to pick Jacey's brain and get to know the fabulous woman behind this incredible blog. Captured by our beloved...
It's really not a hard task to bring tears to my eyes when wedding's are involved. It happens daily, and today's tears are brought to you by this beautiful wedding and a lovely sentiment about their hands. You simply must read the bride's write up below to full understand (and warning to you emotional lovelies, grab a tissue). The tears were fitting though, because this wedding, complete with beautiful blooms from Valerie Jurado, is...
There's no doubt about it --- California weddings have that undeniable "it" factor. That sense of too-cool-for-school spunk that's just not found anywhere else. But the very best part of West Coast weddings? The cream of the crop vendors California brides have right at their fingertips. Photographers like Emily Blake and planners like Kensington Ryan Event who were able to help...
