I've always known the duo behind Brancoprata could work some serious wedding magic, but this day is what I personally deem off-the-charts. They brought all my fairytale dreams to life at Pousada Viana Do Castelo, not to mention a...

Diamonds may be for forever, but aquamarine engagement rings have that extra bit of something special. Case in point: this stunning aquamarine engagement ring from Photos by Sarah Beth's elegant seaside inspiration shoot. With its starburst setting and soft blue center stone, this ring is simply breathtaking. Get the look...
I'm pretty sure this might be the most genius indulgence I've ever created. I'm not trying to pat myself on the back or anything, but when you marry two classics like gelato and popcorn (sea salt caramel from Ava's Popcorn to be exact)—magical things happen. The proof is in the pudding (er uh, gelato!). And you bet your bottom I'll be making another...
For this San Diego wedding, the beauty is definitely in the details. With a color palette of soft pink and pastel blue, Coastyle Events created a rustic garden wonderland complete with an ombré petal aisle and hanging floral arrangements set on swings, ceramic tiles as charges and watercolor-printed napkins. See all the pretty from heidi-o-photo and ...
When "home" is a private estate outside of Chicago, it's a no-brainer to have an at-home wedding. The family horse farm was the perfect venue for this fun duo to create their dream day — complete with an all-night dance party thanks to Toast & Jam and endless fun with Smilebooth. And thanks to Averyhouse's gorgeous...
Being in the position I am lucky enough to be in, I see plenty of sweet and innovative ideas, but well, this one takes the cake. This couple wrote a thank you note to each and every guest and that little love note acted as their escort card. It gets even better: ...
This shower crafted by Twenty Three Layers along with florals by Van Vliet & Trap should get the best ever brunch award and it has everything to do with the dessert spread. Donuts, artisan marshmallows AND gem shaped cookies are only the beginning. Try adding a savory farm-to-table breakfast, like 3 billion choices of drink bars and a sea of pretty color captured...
Simplicity is the name of the game for this Slovakia wedding, and thanks to the beautiful images by Peter & Veronika Photography I'm officially convinced that less is more. Set by the river with a breathtaking first look, this day is filled with dreamy moments and...
It all started with one of the sweetest proposals ever. Well, actually, it started in an LSAT prep course, but when it came time to get down on bended knee, this groom surprised his bride with a meaningful moment she will NEVER forget. Follow that up with a vintage-inspired love fest overflowing with gorgeous details (think Beacon Lane invites and a stunning ...
Not every meet cute is a "love at first sight" kind of story. In fact, sometimes it can be the exact opposite. And for these two cuties, what started as a dislike of each other in high school turned into a meant-to-be relationship that all culminated in one of the prettiest weddings ever. Think beautiful blooms from Organic Elements, a breathtaking ...
Nikki and Aran are Beyoncé and Jay Z crazy in love. How do I know? After getting engaged on Christmas day, the two were bursting with so much love that they decided they wanted to be married as soon as possible. Ten weeks later, and in front of 65 of their closest friends and family, the duo became husband and wife at this romantic hilltop wedding. Experience all the love, thanks to ...
If you're in with the cool kids on Instagram then you know the name @graymalin and you've obsessed over his dreamy beach scenes and color-happy prints like we have time and again. Don't we all want to be on a beach like this 24/7?! Well, today Mr. Malin is taking over our...
Give me a beautiful brunch complete with mimosas, and I'm a happy camper. But take all that brunchy goodness and add in these pretty pink blooms by Ever After Floral Design, and I'm officially over the moon. This intimate celebration filled with love, laughs, and...
No two homes are the same. They're infused with personality and soul and layered with pieces that fit that style to a T. But deciding what your style is can be hard. And coming from someone who took a full 6 months to pick out sofa pillows, I so feel you. Now enter Fab.com, a...
I'll just put it out there - I'm not a fan of Tuesdays. I've developed my own go-to support system, guaranteed to make the day better and it involves going to our Vault and looking back through anniversary shoots until I'm cross-eyed with bliss. But we're making it even easier for you today because we've gathered up...
There is usually a moment in every home tour where I fall in love. It can be as small as kitchen hardware or as big as an entire wallpapered nursery but with this bright home of one of the founders of House Of Jade Interiors, it just kept happening; the falling in love that is. Room after room is a mix of bright and muted, modern and eclectic and clearly is the work of a designer who knows her stuff. Tour the full space photographed...
This beautiful Bride is the exact opposite of a bridezilla. In fact, she might go down as the most laid-back Bride ever. With no theme or look in mind, she and her handsome Groom focused on having fun with family and friends. And the end result, captured by Christine Choi, is a gorgeous southern California wedding as lovely as the Bride and Groom. See it all in...
If I didn't know that this wedding took place a mere 45 minutes outside of Portland, Oregon, I would swear this beautiful Bride and handsome Groom had had a destination wedding in Tuscany. With old world architecture and lush gardens, Villa Catalana Cellars was the perfect spot for the Bride's romantic, glamorous simple, sophisticated and rustic vision to come to life. And thanks to ...
Caroline and Josh's theme for their spring wedding in Texas? All things beautiful. With a fusion of simple, classic elegance and boho whimsy, this sweet couple pulled off their theme to perfection.
