There are beautiful weddings, and then they are beautiful weddings. Weddings that feel like they are straight out of a book. Romance in the most exciting places, warmth hugging you from every image (thank you for that John and Colette | Photography & Beauty), and just the perfect amount of drama. Often these beautiful weddings are filled with flowers so lovely, they are more a work of art than a bridal bouquet (thank you for that...
I've been in a New York state of mind lately, with visions of romantic soirees at The Harold Pratt House and Peterson Hall dancing around my head. In my dreams, these parties are filled with a warm, happy glow, a stunning floral design from Rountree Flowers, a cake with lavender buttercream frosting from Nine Cakes... in short this...
SMP is one of the biggest fans of wedding cinematography. Ask us for sage wedding advice and "Hire a cinematographer!" is going to be high up on all of our lists. Which is why we like to pay special attention to these artists every Saturday on the LBB Blog. PenWeddings is here to remind us, yet again, that capturing your wedding on film is not only beautiful, but pretty darn necessary. Enjoy, my LBBers! [iframe http://player.vimeo.
Although I'm facing 90 degree heat and ridiculous humidity outside my front door today, I'm as cool as a cucumber and totally in love with Spring thanks to JoPhoto. She send over just what I needed on this hot, hot day. A reminder that love in the Springtime is maybe the best, most beautiful thing ever. This is an engagement shoot that will get me through this blistering weekend, and that makes me unbelievably happy. See you Monday...
Any wedding that serves 15 different cheesecakes for dessert is a wedding I can love. Love is sweet, yes, but it's even sweeter with a table full of yummy cheesecakes. And if you follow that logic, any wedding that boasts a table full of cheesecakes is going to be fabulous. That is this wedding. Al fresco dining, gorgeous florals, a bride stunningly done up by Kacee Geoffroy, photographs so beautifully clear...
Now this is what I call a wedding... and no surprises here, it was planned, designed, flora'd and housed at Cedarwood Weddings. But aside from the gorgeous locale, this whole day pulls at my heartstrings. The bride wore pearls, gifted to her by her mother in law before she passed away, while dancing with her love to bluegrass played by her grandfather.
Brides and grooms to be, take note. A wedding modeled after this inspiration shoot from Brocade Designs + Stockroom Vintage is top of my "Must See" list. Nathan Westerfield captured a shoot so beautiful I'm sweetly requesting an invite - with gorgeous calligraphy from...
I adore Lindsay from Readyluck, and if you don't know why yet, you're about to find out. Beyond the amazing (really, amazing Lindsay) photographs she takes at every single event she captures, she is just the sweetest, which this bride can, and did, attest to. When you're marrying the love of your life, you shouldn't have to worry about a single thing. Lindsay makes sure of that, all the while...
I'm a sucker for heirloom jewelry. There is something so romantic about a timeless piece being passed down from one generation to another, gracing each bride's beauty. So, when Jo Barnes recently sent over her charming new Chandelier collection, I instantly envisioned these pretties atop the tresses of many-a-bride for years to come. They're just that stunning. There's a...
When you have my job, you just have to deal with the fact that night in and night out, you are going to be dreaming of gorgeous weddings (not that it's a bad thing). The moment I laid eyes on the first image of this soiree from Heather Saunders Photography, I was smitten, and knew I was in for a night or two of dreaming. But then I realized Parsonage Events was...
You know the feeling you get when you just know you've found the one? Your pulse quickens, your palms sweat, the butterflies in your stomach wake up and start fluttering around... well I just got that. Yes, I'm happily married, but this wedding. Oh man, Katie Stoops Photography, this wedding had me at those twobirds bridesmaids dresses, and then pulled me right in with the stunning...
Now that we have passed the unofficial start of summer (Memorial Day Weekend) I've been craving weddings like this. Waterside, outdoors, with so much sunshine and a love that only intensifies in the summertime heat. This is the most wonderful time of the year for a reason, and Blushing Bride Studio knows it. They captured this wedding so beautifully, it's overfilling into...
Modern and minimal. Not for everyone. No lace and peonies, no burlap and mason jars. But even if modern and minimal isn't your normal jam, warm up your vocal cords, because this shoot from Studio Uma is going to have you singing a whole different tune. It's the kind of simple pretty that anyone can not only appreciate, but also fall in love with. Still not convinced you're the modern type?
Brides of the world, you are amazing. You guys stun me day after day with your talent. Take this beautiful bride. She handcrafted a storybook wedding, starting with the letterpress paper products, and following through with an entire library theme (done so, so right) to create a day that has all of us blown away. If Wayne and Angela's photos of the day are any indication of just how gorgeous this affair really was, you bet I'll be...
I'm just going to go ahead and thank Unique Visions Studio for this one. That's all I really can do. It's so beautiful that all I can do is send them a big hug, kiss, and thank you. You are going to love this video more than slow Saturday mornings. And don't worry, I already thanked Unique Visions Studio for us all. [iframe http://player.vimeo.com/video/62082808 600 255]...
Maybe it's because I'm from Detroit, which can be a heartbreaking display of beautiful decay these days, but abandoned buildings, especially those which you can feel the way they used to be, are so captivating to me. My imagination runs wild picturing cathedrals like this in their heyday. Plus the juxtaposition between the beautiful, young couple and the old, dilapidated building is just beyond words. So as we send you off into your weekend, I hope you take a few extra moments to visit the...
I think every bride and groom come to a point in their planning where they want to just whisk everyone away to a tropical locale and tie the knot with the sound of the water nearby, but, let's face it, it doesn't happen as often as the ballroom soiree. So when it does happen, holy moly do we get excited. A beautiful wedding and a fab vacation all in one (and those just so happen to be two of our favorite things). It doesn't get any better, especially when...
Let's talk about DIY for a minute. It's a great way to save a little money when it comes to your wedding, so you can allocate those funds to something you can't do yourself. But it's also an amazing display of love. This bride made just about everything for her wedding. So on the big day, not only were she and her betrothed displaying their love to everyone, but she showed her friends and family ones just how much they meant to her by providing a decor so personal and heartfelt. Every pretty...
I'm going to just come out and say it. Before this wedding, pink and black was not my favorite color combo. I just never loved it, until now. Maybe it was the black candles that did it to me, or perhaps it was the fluffy peach garden roses, or maybe it was all that gorgeous paper from Little Bit Heart, but whatever it was, it did the job. Strawberry Milk Events did the job. I...
Today we're shining the spotlight on an LBBer that really truly loves what she does. A planner whose interview answers I was so excited to receive, because the weddings she's poured her heart and soul into, are just flat out gorgeous. That's Christina Gillon Events m'dears (formerly of Fete Weddings & Events) and lucky us, we're getting a look into how her fabulous weddings come together, including...
