As a relatively new resident of the mid-Altantic region, I've become seriously obsessed with Virginia's wine and hunt country. So you can imagine my excitement when I was introduced to the spectacular Goodstone Inn & Restaurant nestled on a 265-acre estate with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's no wonder this gem of a venue was named as Virginia Living Magazine's 2014 Top Wedding Vendor with its...
Nothing quite gets me like a groom in his dress uniform. My husband wore his to our wedding, so the sight of a uniformed man all filled with love gets me every time. Ashley Bosnick Photography captured just that, and today we are sharing his ridiculously beautiful wedding, bursting with loving details from his stunning bride, right here. From the...
This darling bride describes her wedding in one word: FUN. And honestly? I could not agree more. Because anytime you combine two crazy cool people like this adorable duo with awesome friends and family in a drop-dead gorgeous art gallery setting, that's exactly what's going to happen... fun and then some. See it all captured by Tara Whittaker right...
Any wedding that starts with a giant bouquet of bright pink pretties is bound to be a pin-worthy day. But when that same affair includes stunning modern design from Stonehouse Events, beautiful blooms by Elegant Designs Floral Art Studio, and every inch shot through the lens of Justin DeMutiis - well...
This bride has amazing advice, and the second you see her wedding, you're going to be scrambling for a pen and paper to take notes. She planned a wedding that is quite possibly more beautiful than California itself (I know.), brought in Estate Weddings and Events to manage it so that she could enjoy it, and hired...

Moms. Listen up. Need a way to keep your little ones busy for hours on end? Say hello to Treasure Rocks.

Most of you youngens might not have heard of this rainbow loom insanity. The latest trend in all things 5-12 year olds. So trendy in fact, that I think the trend might be over. This Valentine's Day, we figured we would put these little darlings to good use with a little heart day spin. Add a note to the bracelet that says "I would KNOT be the same without you" and you turned a trend, into a total keepsake. $14.99...
Remember those little pill things that you drop into water and they magically transform into a sponge? Well. They still have them. And kids still think they are super cool. We found some safari varieties and tucked them into a little envelope that says "I'm Wild About You." I know. It's just too much. $9.97...
