When the backdrop to your wedding is the Atlantic Ocean, you can keep the decor simple. Case in point: this sophisticated oceanfront wedding that opted for a semi-circle seating arrangement and incorporated small, intricate details like the quilted motif in the bride's beautiful Amsale gown. The duo from Concept-A Photography captured some...
At first glance, I hadn't guessed this chic fete from Cristina G Photography as a brunch wedding. To be quite honest, I think brunch weddings are underestimated because this one is absolutely fabulous in every way possible. Complete with live music from Stitely Entertainment, a mimosa & bloody mary bar and petite french macarons, it's a brunch turned full-on party and it makes for...
Ever since Carrie Bradshaw planned her wedding to Big, I've had a serious soft spot for library-set nuptials. It's one of the most romantic ways you could ever tie the knot, and when Ruth Eileen sent over her snaps of a New England couple who opted for just that, my heart swelled BIG time. Wildfolk Studios blanketed the...
Ever wonder what happens when "vintage New York City meets vintage India and Pakistan with a modern edge?" Well, lovelies... I can tell you one thing. It's downright magical. Think vibrant blooms from Poppies & Posies, gorgeous stylings coordinated by Sarah Glowacki of Daughter of Design and a stunning bride and...

Have I mentioned how much I love Napa weddings? Of course I have, and probably on more than one occasion. And my love comes from weddings like this one - where every moment just seems magical, and every detail on a new level of lovely. Andi Hatch was behind the lens to capture every gorgeous moment of this Napa Valley beauty, and...
This couple's love story: 4 am shift change in Manhattan, waiting to hail a cab, meeting a perfect stranger in the lamplight — so romantic! With the help of Roey Mizrahi Events, they did a stellar job incorporating that same capricious whimsy into their wedding day. (Note the dress!) Gabriel Mellan was there to capture some stunning images from the ...
When it comes right down to it, a wedding dressed in white and ivory with touches of gold will win my vote for classic every time. And when you set that soiree amongst the lemon trees at Villa Aurelia in Italy, it becomes a traditional al fresco fete like no other. With Raffaella Alflatt of WedinItaly behind every lovely detail, ...
You would think this wedding was pulled straight from the pages of a really gorgeous fairytale, or possibly a movie set. But no, it's real life designed down to the last perfect detail by Masi Events paired with lush garland centerpieces and bouquets by Ines Naftali, gorgeous stationery by ...
Confession: I take my food very seriously. And one of my biggest pet peeves is wasting calories (or money) on subpar meals. But with a busy work schedule, paired with a packed social calendar, I find myself warming up canned soup more often than I'll admit. But no longer! Because I've found 10 totally awesome, totally delicious easy meals that blow that mediocre ol' can of soup right out of the water. PS - Way more dinner recipes to be found...

Ladies, this might be the best combo ever; A boudoir session + bridal shower in one. To be honest, a boudoir shoot seems a bit intimidating all on it's own… but with a few of your gal pals, a bit of bubbly and fun tulle skirts paired with colorful bralettes? I'm game. Styled pretty from head to toe and snapped so sweetly, ...
Hi darlings! Lindsay here from Fleur de Sel, popping by to share my final post in the blogger bride series. This week I'm in France taking care of last minute prep for my wedding (I can't believe it's almost here!) but today I wanted to share tips from the gorgeous Natalie Bowen Designs about how to make the flower arrangements at your destination wedding...
Though I've always had an inkling, as I grow older, I'm realizing how important girlfriends are for ones sanity. They never fail to shine a bright light on a particularly dreary day, and am always trying to show them just how much they mean. In truth, I can't think of a better way to do so than with a glitsy, girly dinner party a la Gold Leaf Events. Bonus:...
I love ALL engagement sessions, but a breathtaking apple orchard engagement set against a stunning Washington state backdrop? Well, there's a very special place in my heart for that. Especially if it's as casually cool as this beauty captured by Joe & Patience happens to be, aka, a gorgeous frolic through some amazing scenery with one killer red dress. Soak in all of the pre-wedding bliss right...
"A Bunch of Love" is right! This modern take on tradition in Fullerton certainly has us thoroughly charmed. Also note the cool DIY touches the couple incorporated like the aforementioned bunch of love sign and rosemary-infused olive oil for guests to take home. Having a great photographer like Anna Delores to capture it all doesn't hurt, either. You can get the full gallery...
