Today, we're introducing you to three fabulous Look Book designers — say hello to...

This Bride is a my hero. Not only did she plan a gorgeous seaside affair filled with nautical charm, but she also designed and sewed her own wedding gown! From the newlywed's summer sail, to Beat Train Productions serenading, every minute...
Show me a rustic Colorado wedding any day of the week and I'll show you one of the happiest faces you'll ever see (truly, I am that obsessed). Now add in a bride who happens to be THE dress expert at the Little White Dress Bridal Shop, two stunning gowns (but, of course) and an entire world of sophisticated, fall-hued details and it's a drop-dead gorgeous affair captured by...
It's kind of a given that a Carmel Valley Ranch wedding is going to be awesome, but add one of the world's sweetest duos and a rustic meets modern aesthetic to the mix and it's a pretty that is basically indescribable. Think baby's breath meets silver sparkles meets one of the most breathtaking ceremonies you will ever see. Soak in all of the gorgeousness captured by ...
You know what's romantic? Sneaking away before the ceremony for a first look with your one and only. And this perfect pair? Well, that's exactly what they did. With Just For You Photography in tow capturing every sweet moment, the gallery is the perfect place to watch their special day unfold...
This wedding right here? It's all kinds of awesome. Imagine sweet, classic stylings, peony-filled bouquets and just enough bling to make your heart happy and you are sooo on the right track.

When it came their big day, these longtime loves wanted the focus on family. From their courtyard first look to the family photos filling frames, every moment held meaning. Oleander Floral & Events planned a masterpiece overflowing with lush opulence and seasonal fare, while Lauren Fair filled...
I dream of being invited to an Italian wedding, so I can escape to the hills of Tuscany for a rustic, elegant dinner party, complete with local treats and never ending bottles of wine. This shoot by DY Wedding Photography and Weddings in Tuscany gave me the perfect photos for these...
This gorgeous Bride might look a bit familiar to all of our fellow die-hard wedding fans out there. Her dress journey was profiled on "Say Yes to the Dress" and we were left wondering how the rest of her adventure played out post dress decision. To call it a success would be an understatement, with this glamorous Southern soiree at Lowndes Grove Plantation, led by the team at...
I do believe spring is trying to be fashionably late this year, so a wedding like this bloom-filled beauty is just what we need in New England right now. Perfectly captured by Katie Slater Photography at The Lace Factory with florals from ...
For those of us here on the east coast, it's easy to forget that there is another version of winter out there, one that doesn't keep you housebound for months. This charming rustic wedding proves just how fantastic winter celebrations can be at an amazing California ranch, filled with personal touches and sunny skies. Mirelle Carmichael captured it all...
You know her as one half of the A Piece of Toast duo and went Behind the Blog on SMP Living, but today Sally is stepping in the role of bride-to be with her stunning beach engagement session. Photographed by the crazy talented ...

I've seen a lot of gorgeous Art Deco inspired weddings in my day, but never one done quite like this. And by "quite like this," I mean a non-stop dance party featuring beautiful blooms from La Fleur Event And Floral Design, a crazy awesome 501 Union setting, champagne towers and golden confetti. Yes, golden confetti. ...
This shoot by ARIA Studios is basically a free tour of the beautiful island of Oahu, with these lovebirds adding an extra dosh of magic to every shot. From the rustic mountains to the carefree fields, all the way to the romance of the beach, we get a sneak peek at some of Hawaii's hidden gems and a look at the love between this couple. I feel like the lucky one in this arrangement; join the party ...
If there's one thing we can learn from this Malibu lovefest, it's that bringing Stephanie Grace and onelove photography into your vendor lineup is always a good idea. Along with a whole team of talent, they helped pull off the dreamy, organic and intimate affair the bride dreamed of (can we talk about...
The extent of my love for Perry Vaile and her bursting-with-love captures stretches pretty far, and one thing is true; her couples are head over heels, over the moon in l-o-v-e, love. Case in point? This darling Bride-to-be (in dreamy Reem Acra, no less) and her handsome Groom-to-be. Every smile, kiss and touch is unbearably sweet and Perry made sure to get...
