One more absolutely delicious wedding for you to enjoy before we jump into DIY projects from around the web! This one, shot by the fabulous Ruth Rackley is all about hippy chic. And I love every bit of it. To see all of the photos, click right here!

On to even more really cute weddings that I've found around the blogs. Elizabeth Messina's Kiss the Groom is featuring a fabulous Tea Party inspired affair!
Jen Huang completely blew me away with these photographs from a recent green and white inspired affair. The wedding itself was gorgeous, but the photographs...holy cow. You can see the...
DYING over Cheree Berry's gorgeous wedding on Martha Stewart. Dying I tell you. Cheree and I go way back, way back to my invitation days and I've always known that the girl has talent coming out of every finger tip. Plus, she is hands down one of the sweetest girls, so I am not surprised in the slightest that she would craft a wedding that is as lovely as she is.
You've probably already seen this amazing "wedding," as it's been ALL OVER THE BLOGS, but it's so ridiculously good, I couldn't resist. Shockingly good. Tec Pataja shot the incredible photographs for Nashville Lifestyles magazine, bringing together the creme de la creme of artists and vendors to design a day that is right out of heaven.
I know that this isn't exactly news, but holy cow. Every time I look at the...
Sometimes, it's really nice for me to take a little break from scouting out my own content and instead, just devour the pretty incredible stuff that is floating around on other blogs. For those of your that don't write a wedding blog (and it seems like there are so few of you left out there!), it's getting harder and harder to find fresh, original content. The blogs are just booming with inspiration and ideas and every now and then, it's fun for me to just spend the day scouring the web...
Here are a few more bits of eye candy from the amazing fashion shoot that the girls at Belathee did with Bleu Belle Bridal, a Savannah Wedding boutique. I am madly in love with the gowns, but even more than that, I am blown away by the photography. The story that each image tells. I was just e-chatting with the girls and we both agree that there is a real need for updated bridal...
You are going to DIE when you see how freaking great this photo shoot by Belathee is. The talented duo partnered up with Bleu Belle Bridal, a Savannah Wedding boutique, to shoot the most amazing dresses you've ever seen.
The short, flirty dress is Melissa Sweet's Bronwin. The longer one is by Vera Wang and is called Zoe. Both are complete and total...
After that last real wedding, did you happen to venture over to Sarah K. Chen's website? Ummmm...if you didn't, this is what you are missing...
Holy gorgeousness!! Have you ever seen anything quite so pretty? People laugh at me because I seem to love every wedding with all of my heart, completing each sentences with more exclamation marks than should be legally allowed. But this one, man oh man. It's pretty awesome. The pair...
I am all girl. If my husband would let me get away with painting every room in our house pink, I'd be at home depot faster than you can say "eeeek." So, when I saw this pink, pink, oh-so-pink wedding that the lovely Sarah K. Chen photographed, well...I swooned.
I mean come on! Does it get any better? The candy buffet alone is enough to make me jump for joy, but then they went and added fabulous florals, chic place settings...
I am just putting the finishing touches on a pretty, pretty in pink affair that the fabulous Sarah K. Chen just sent me (and by "just" I mean an hour ago). It's one of those fabulously girly affairs that will go perfectly with today's pretty, pretty wedding love!

I am sure that you guys know about my longtime obsession with all things Bluefly. If you look back through our color palettes and...
Yellow reminds me of Summer. Obviously. It's one of those colors that just makes me happy...that makes me want to break out the lemonade and have all of our friends over for a great outdoor affair. Well, that is just what the team at Sillapere did for this ridiculously lovely Summer inspired wedding...
Based in the Bay Area, Nicole Sillapere is one of those florist whose...
Nancy Liu Chin and Lisa Lefkowitz are hands-down two of the Bay Area's most talented vendors. So, when they partner up and send me a wedding that they got their hands on, I just KNOW it's going to be good. This one, is no exception!
And although I don't have a ton of the details, I do know this. I am completely obsessed with the chic, laid back elegance. The charm...
It's finally that time...the time to announce the lucky winner of 10 sets of letterpress thank you notes designed and printed by the fabulousness that is Smock. But, before we announce the name, I wanted to share a little tid bit about Smock that I think is pretty great.
I know that a lot of you who left comments had fallen in love with a particular design...and yet, it didn't...
I am completely and totally smitten with this rehearsal dinner that Jose Villa sent me and that Allison Hotchkiss of Alison Events designed to perfection. Plus, they have been sweet enough to divulge all of the pretty details just for us, which makes it even better. I would KILL to see a wedding inspired by this rehearsal...the same cool, but not too cool, chic but not too...
It's fair to say that when Jose Villa teams up with the fabulous Alison Hotchkiss, the result is going to be, well...completely fabulous. So, when Jose sent me this rehearsal dinner that the pair worked on together at the Parker Palm Springs, I seriously couldn't wipe the grin off my face. It's just so chic, so simple and yet so gorgeous. Love, love, love.

We have been all about the chic, modern loft wedding that Laura and Eric threw this past winter in New York. It's one of those weddings that just makes you giddy. From the perfect decor to the stunning couple, it's as if this night was destined to be beautiful.
And like many celebrations, there is a life, a story behind the beauty. Here are some last details and a touching note from Laura, the gorgeous bride...
Due to my aforementioned obsessive planning trait, I would...
I heart today's real wedding. It's a really lovely distraction from the outdoor weddings that we feature (and I love outdoor affairs in a BIG way). There is just something so utterly romantic about getting married in a crisp, white loft that has been decked out with candles, whites and an intimate collection of friends and family.
And yet, just when you think that it's all about the style, all about the chic...there is that bit of handmade charm that EVERY wedding needs to feel...
Although the venue, the flowers, the amazingly gorgeous white color palette from today's affair are ALL incredible, it's really the personal approach that the couple took to their day that makes me really, really happy. Since I can't say it any better than the bride, I'll just pass the torch!
We did (almost) nothing that was traditional. We served champagne before the ceremony because...well, who wouldn't want that? We were married by a friend of ours that was ordained for the...
