Angela here from Saffron Avenue bringing you my next blogger bride adventure! Some girls are crazy excited to try on dresses for the first time, and I thought I always would be…until the time actually came. I’m not big into shopping, trying on clothes, and definitely not in front of family and friends while literally on a pedestal. The idea...
As a New England resident, seaside and winter aren't necessarily two words I associate; however, upon viewing these Melanie Gabrielle oceanside images, my point of view is now permenantly changed. Elegant Ever After Floral Design blooms...

When longtime sweethearts wed, pretty things happen. Think a seaside ceremony filled with Sayles Livingston peonies and a Jenny Packham gown, but it doesn't stop there. Ocean blue dresses sway while gathered around a tuscan table for champagne toasts, while...
After the bustle of the holidays, I look forward to cozy made-from-scratch meals at home that are slightly lighter & fresh. Making homemade pasta is just one of the many things I love to do during the cold winter months. It requires nothing but staple ingredients, a rolling pin & a few minutes of time. The little effort invested yields incredible texture, flavor & that made-from-scratch satisfaction. I will admit, I have a pasta roller attachment to expedite the process, but...

Not only did this bride rock one of the most utterly romantic dresses we've ever come across, but that said dress? It was handmade by her mom. And while that little number alone is enough to add this Santa Barbara wedding to my favorites, it's the design by Soigne Productions, florals from ...
The second this pretty post goes live, I'm sending it to my husband. I mean, yes, my 30th birthday came and went a few years ago, but that doesn't mean I can't recreate every picture perfect image of this beautiful beach bash designed by Vintage Wedding Love for my next birthday. Because if you know me at all, you know I squealed to high heavens when I set eyes on these images from ...
When I heard that two of my all-time favorite designers, Joanna August + BHLDN were doing an exclusive...
Neon pink, while I harbor a strong love for it, can be hard to pull off, especially at a wedding. Sweet Emilia Jane hit the nose on the head with this modern California celebration with their hot pink touches and everything else for that matter. Studio Castillero caught it all on camera and I just may be keeping some of...
Give me a wedding sprinkled with vintage whimsy, and you'll have one happy blogger smiling at her screen. Better yet, add in two handsome grooms, colorful blooms by The Enchanted Florist and Heritage Square Museum playing backdrop, and it's an affair that'll be one for the books. Get your adorably quirky inspiration on...
Lavender and lemon sound like a really good time when paired with an aperitif, don't you think? I'm not normally a gin drinker but I will certainly make an exception for this beauty.
