I agree with the talented Gemini Photography Ontario on this one: there's nothing sweeter than fresh fruit in the summertime. Unless, of course, you're talking about a gorgeous inspiration shoot that happens to include a bundle of that aforementioned AND a whole lot of glittery gold details. That's sweetness to the extreme, especially when crafted by a talented group of vendors like ...
When it comes to this Michigan affair, traditional elegance is the name of the game. Think all-white blooms, a tented reception and chandeliers plus sparkle everywhere you look. It's the kind of day that'll make any classics lover go weak at the knees and Laurie Bailey captured each and every bit. Click here for more, plus ...
The difference between rain ruining and not ruining a wedding is all in the attitude. You can cry and add to the amassing water on the ground, or you can grab your Hunter boots, head to the tent, and party anyway!

This couple is genius. They decided to take their engagement session up a notch (ok, maybe 10 notches) by having the seriously talented Rowell Photography snap up their engagement pics in stunning Scotland. The result? A collection of images that are nothing short of priceless. See them all here. From...

A Southern classic is something that we fully embrace. The timeless details and charm never get old and if you throw a little y'all in there; well, we're pretty much done for. But this day goes so beyond that. It's a palette of all white with hints of metallic that can only be described as pure elegance. And it's made even more so at the hands of so many great vendors. Artisans like ...
The Long Haul Films team always leaves us smiling and that's why we love them. But this film? The first 30 seconds of this one will completely MELT your heart. It's guaranteed. This wintry wedding day is filled with laughter, love and so, so many sweet moments. From the beautiful Bride, Kirsty… Jonathan (aka Fraser) and I were married at Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire on December 13th, 2013. We wanted a day that really reflected our...
I've swooned my fair share of rustic nuptials, but to be totally honest? This is probably my new fave. It's the wedding that lets the stunning landscape do all the talking, with a few well-edited nods of color and style infused along the way. Of course, the straight-from-a-magazine images by Carrie Patterson only add to my obsession and if you're looking for more, you can find it...
I've been on the hunt for a new desk for some time now, and when our in-house DIYer suggested we make one ourselves I swear I could have kissed her square on the lips! Enter: the DIY hairpin desk. I'm convinced that if we hadn't confessed it's an Ikea hack already, nobody would ever know. It's quick, it's easy, and it's beyond chic.

Classic meets romantic is one of my favorite combinations, especially when it's a day planned to perfection by Coastside Couture that features one seriously adorable duo and some of the prettiest blooms you will ever lay your eyes upon from Laughing Gal Floral. That's the kind of traditional shindig I can really spend the day...
My favorite engagement sessions are always, without fail, the ones where I get to take a little peek into the personalities of the people in front of the camera. So when this adorable duo decided to bring Studio Finch along to snap some pictures of their typical Saturday morning in their gorgeous neighborhood, they ended up with pictures that are simply priceless.
This couple is sooo awesome. They've travelled the world together (and I mean they travelled the world), were engaged in Bali (amazing) and threw a drop-dead gorgeous wedding at the Santa Barbara Zoo that can only be described as fabulous with travel-inspired details woven throughout every moment. It's pure perfection, all captured in beautiful images by ...
I love brides who know exactly what they want and don't settle until they find the perfect vendors to help execute their style and vision. This stunning Bride knew how important that was in achieving a beautiful day that she and her hubs-to-be would love. All it takes is one look at onelove photography's insanely gorgeous images to know how on point that advice is. This one, it's classic elegance at it's best...
The softness of a pastel palette, fun, vintage stylings, a travel theme done so, so right...this wedding has a lot going for it all of which works seamlessly together. And the vendors behind this Autrailian affair are to thank. From the details designed by White+white Weddings And Events, to the sweet florals by...
We have a confession: we may just be ever so slightly obsessed with T.J.Maxx and Marshalls. Actually obsessed is a bit of an understatement. It's more along the lines of an undying love and it has everything to do with their home decor and entertaining pieces + their unbelievable prices. And that amazing combo is going to make it super easy to step up your home...
Alright friends, I've got a whole lot of awesome in store for us all. If it isn't evident already, I spend a lot of time online. Like, a kind of embarrassing amount. But every so often good things come of it! Things like unearthing awesome spring DIY projects (twelve of them, in fact). The best part is that most of these make for perfect weekend projects, and not a single one actually looks homemade. Win! ps - we have so many more fabulous home DIY projects...
