As a girl who got married in a barn almost four years ago, weddings like this are the ones that I hold closest to my heart. A hot summer day, a sweet color palette, flowers that look like they were picked 10 minutes before the ceremony, and a party in the stables. In my humble opinion, there is nothing better. Hudson River Photographer captured this stunning soiree and filled...
It probably comes as no surprise that I'm about as girly as they come. So when this photo shoot first popped across my screen, I couldn't help but wish I could live inside it and never leave. I'm talking the fluffiest of florals, the dreamiest of dress, and a glass conservatory setting that puts a new spin on Parisian-inspired pretty. Social Graces Events infused the shoot with a subtle touch of Southern flair, and...
There is DIY, and there is DIY from this Bride, who happens to take do-it-yourselfing to a new sparkly level. It's almost as if she waved a magic, talented wand over her beautiful Delray Beach day, and then wallah, crafty perfection. But anyone who's planned a wedding knows better - and one peek at the pretty captured by 13:13 Photography in the...
Let me set the stage for you. Two (gorgeous) East Coasters, two separate trips across the country, one fate-filled meeting in San Francisco and an amazing first date back in NYC. If that isn't the beginning of one seriously incredible romance, then I don't know what is. And to top it all off, these two sweeties chose CLY Creation to capture all of their pre-marital bliss in one uber-stunning image after another in the streets of Soho.

We've got a treat for you this morning my lovelies. Brighter Lights Media captured a wedding, complete with a groom who needed a sweet little hand hold from his bride to get through his vows, and it is magical. It's the kind of wedding you would have given anything to be a part of. And with this highlight (and a gallery of beautiful images from Zen Photography) you can feel like...
We feel the need to take a quick little break from our daily ritual to shine a bright light on some of our fabulous new advertisers. It's these guys who keep us fed around here, and for that, we are eternally grateful! We've got all of the bases covered, from Pickett's Press, Daily Grommet and A Vintage Poster...
Another week of pretty has come and gone, but before we send you off to all your Easter egg DIY-ing and tablescape styling, we have one more fabulous feature up our sleeves. It's the kind of feature that makes us sit back and remember why we truly love what we do. From this crazy cute couple...
It's Friday afternoon and we're all ready to let our hair down for the weekend. As a final pop of inspiration, we've got the sweetest redhead and her hubby to be letting their hair down and having a blast a little early. Di Bezi Photography captured these two and their (what I'm only assuming) amazingly fun engagement and we could not think of a better way to send you off into your weekend than a little time with the happy couple. Until...
A seriously gorgeous duo, the fabulous Huron Substation and vibrant orange and yellow hues... do I have your complete and undivided attention? I thought so. And, well, that's a good thing, because this Los Angeles affair? This beauty of a day? It's giving a new meaning to the word "chic" and it's one you definitely don't want to miss. From the crazy gorgeous train-inspired stylings coordinated to perfection by...
Lively, joyous, whole-heartedly celebrating – these are all words that come to mind when sifting through the images by Jake & Necia Photography. It could be because this wedding is chock-a-block full of dancing, drum playing and the like. Or maybe it's the crazy beautiful floral arrangements by Chestnut & Vine, or the personalized details hand-crafted by the...
I, personally, am completely enamored with this Behind the Blog series. It's so nice to be able to dig deeper and garner some inspiration from some of the crazy talented ladies that I've followed for years and years now. And Caitlin Wilson is absolutely, unequivocally no exception; I mean, the girl oozes pink and...
Southern flair and authentic Indian traditions in sunny California means candied pecans and saris all under that fabulous sunshine. Plus a stunning floral design from Bride and Bloom Wedding Flowers and breathtaking images from Tyler Branch Photo. That is this wedding. All of that and more. It's a gallery full of pinch-me-now moments, and...
Old Detroit's history and glamour. That's what this wedding is all about. I capital LOVE that. Well, old Detroit and a ridiculously adorable couple. VLD put together a "Four Seasons" soiree (with the help of Parsonage Events' fabulous florals) all the while honoring the sweet couple and all that was Detroit in it's glory days. A winning trifecta, captured by...
This series of overly-girly spaces would have made my dreams come true as a child. Pink, pink and a little more pink is my kind of my love language and I'm feeling a little giddy about each and every one of them. Designed with two adorable girls in mind, Liz Carroll has left no detail unthought of. Add in the custom stage built purely for performances(!!) in the playroom and my little-girl mind would have gone...
Modern mingles with tradition in this Long Island City soiree from one of our favorites, Judy Pak. And while there's a million and one things to love about this day, it's the sense of understated chic, not to mention that Funfetti wedding cake, that had me at hello. See every stunning moment from beginning to end in the full gallery here.
This wedding reads like a woodland fairytale. A beautiful Bride, a dashing Groom and a seriously romantic love story - all coming together on a special day in the Kangaroo Valley surrounded by their nearest and dearest. It's almost too beautiful too be real, but we promise it's the best kind of real. Where the smiles say this is the best day ever and every moment seems magical. It's a love story come to life thank the to gorgeous images from ...

If not, we suggest carving out some time today for perusing. We promise your Boss won't mind. From baby celebrations to a behind the scenes...
The best thing you'll do all day? Meeting these two cuties and reading their proposal story. Believe you me. Because when I tell you that this just might be the best engagement I have ever laid my eyes upon, I am not lying. It's romantic meets beautiful meets soooo incredibly heartwarming... and it was all captured by Connection Photography, aka, the bride and groom-to-be. Yep, this handsome (+ sneaky) guy even snapped up...
