Give me a traditionally elegant ballroom affair, and I'll be one very happy blogger. There's no question about that. And when that ballroom beauty happens to include a candlelit dinner, lush cream florals, and cake from The Butter End...I might just get a wee bit upset I wasn't invited. Hazelnut Photography's images tell the whole gorgeous story, and you can find them all...
Fall weddings are my favorite. Especially when those affairs are tucked inside a beautiful rustic venue like Cherry Basket Farm. It's just as you would imagine; rolling hills, colorful leaves, cozy blankets and the yummiest dinner feast. That, plus an adorable pup named Otis. Head to the gallery for even more as seen through the lens of ...
Why is it that a little bit of gold detailing makes the world a prettier place? Take for example the sort of plain IKEA Rast Dresser. Good bones but lacking in something. With a little bit of gold hardware, white lacquer paint and a splash of gold leaf...Voila. Nightstand Perfection. And all for about $150. Boom.
My dears, raise your hand if you're ready for spring (I've got them both up over here!). If anything, this never-ending wintry mess has me dreaming daily about long light-filled days, chilled cocktails and bridesmaids dresses in perfect palettes from Ceremony by Joanna August. Created in 2008, the...

I'll be the first to admit that the idea of boudoir can be a bit intimidating but in the right hands, it's nothing short of perfection. This session is stripped down to the natural beauty of the Bride. A beauty thoughtfully enhanced by Mar Of Team Hair And Makeup and styled by Summer Watkins. And then there's the photographs by ...
From this moment on, when I think of Palm Springs, I'll think of this vibrant beauty. It's literally bursting at the seams with pretty. From the insane florals from Arrangements Party & Floral Designs to the stunning setting of The Parker Palm Springs (one of the most stylish venues ever), everything sitting in this...
Have you met Hilary of Dean Street Society? Because, though she may not know it yet, she's my new best friend. I will admit I've been living under a rock as I only recently found her blog, but I've since made up for the fact by wasting many an hour pouring through it. The girl is hilarious and SO stylish. A must-read, must-follow for sure! And she's here today sharing her 5...

Barefoot on your wedding day is kind of a cliche, I know. But add a little floral anklet in there and BAM! instant trendsetter. This bride rocked not just the floral anklet, but a floral crown from Little Flower Shop and Kampphotography captured the out of this world pretty which ensued. Want more?
This wedding is my everything today. Seriously, if I had to pick a favorite today, this would be it.

It's all captured in a way by Siousca Photography that makes me want to cry the happiest of tears, and...
Truth: I'm not a girly-girl. I prefer jeans to dresses and flip flops to high heels. But show me a wedding overflowing with blush hues, and I just can't get enough. Which is why this inspiration shoot from Pomp & Circumstance has totally made my Thursday. It's soft blush hues, pops of black and all kinds of awesome details. See it all captured by ...
