Real Weddings: Tori + Aaron

Sweet personal details, gorgeous photography, amazing flowers, and true, wholehearted love are the ingredients guaranteed to cook up a beautiful wedding and Skye and Alex’s Birmingham soiree has them all!  From the chuppah (handmade from a blanket crocheted by Skye’s great grandmother), to the something blue (blue buttons from one of her baby dresses lovingly […]

Chicago’s Salvage One is such a fun space for a wedding – I love the juxtaposition of elegant chandeliers and modern raw space.  Julia and Shaun’s wedding made use of the fabulous interior with a fresh yellow and gray color palette, centerpieces of vintage books and collected vases, and a guest book displaying photos throughout their courtship.   Julia is a […]

I’m over the moon today to share Elise and Bill’s beyond gorgeous Michigan wedding!  Elise is the sister of my dear friend Natalie (the mastermind behind Pemberley Events), and her wedding was infused with so many charming handmade details and the most amazing organic, lush florals from Petal Play Design. The Blue Dress Barn in […]

Lisa and Jason are so lucky to have incredibly talented friends who all took part in putting together the couple’s big day. Held at Sova Gardens in Sebastopol, California, the entire event was filled with tons of colorful, fun details (pinwheels and fans at the ceremony!) I am gaga over the florals by Lisa’s friend […]

A “destination” wedding in Austin, TX, Erica and Josh invited friends from around the globe. Their wedding was filled with handmade details and heirlooms captured by Bonnie Berry Photography. From the veil and headpiece, the seating cards, menus, and the bridesmaids’ necklaces (made by the bride and her sister from their mother’s bead collection), the […]

A pretty little summer wedding is just what the doctor ordered on this Friday before Easter!  Heather and Erik’s Riverside California wedding was held at the Crestmore Manor by a small pond that covered by beautifully shaded trees.  The plum and gold reception has a vintage touch, with birdcages, lanterns, and eclectic antique centerpieces, and […]

I love coffee.  And weddings.  And did I mention coffee?  Bethany and Andrew’s charming Phoenix wedding combines both!  Held at Inside the Bungalow, an adorable coffee shop turned wedding venue, there’s a slightly Alice in Wonderland feel with coffee cups, painted murals and tea tins.  I love the intimate feel of the venue, and Bethany […]

This sunny yellow wedding is making my heart go pitter-patter! Jackie and Steve’s wedding is a lovely little backyard affair, with pretty handmade details that exude simple elegance with a bit of rustic nostalgia. Jackie created the confetti pouches, the burlap button napkin rings, escort cards, and favors of coffee made by her father’s business. […]

Every little bit of Stephanie and Aaron’s wedding is perfection.  Their small and relaxed wedding was completely handmade, from her fabulous gold fascinator to the beautiful thrifted tea cups and vintage plates that graced the table and doubled as favors.  Stephanie collected jars used for cups and candles and hand-dyed the linens and her aunt […]

I have mad love for Jessica and Jake’s relaxing, outdoor southern wedding. Held at a private residence in Cartersville, Georgia, the wedding was a complete labor of love for the couple and their families.  Jessica, her mother and her friends (a group dubbed the Wedding Belles!) worked together to create a completely homespun wedding – everything from the food to the […]

Kayla and Newton are just one of the cutest couples ever, aren’t they?  Their Athens wedding at The Foundry Park Inn & Spa is full of love and laughter, and fabulous photos from two of my favorite people, Matt and Kate Altmix!  The day started out with the couple having a first look at a spot […]

Melissa and Ben’s wedding is so heartfelt, it’s truly wonderful to see how in love they are and how deeply they love their families and honor their traditions. The fabulous Erin Johnson captured all of the details of their Wisconsin wedding, held at Windbeam Farm.  Trudi and Paul Schaefer, the owners of Windbeam Farm, went […]

Laura and Will infused so much creativity and DIY skills into their Temecula wedding!  Photographed by the wonderful Marlin Munoz, this wedding has a little bit of everything lovely set against the beautiful backdrop of the Callaway Winery. Along with her talented sister-in-law Erin, Laura created all of the bouquets and tablescapes with flowers purchased from Trader Joe’s.  I love the vibrant bouquets […]

Everything about Lori and Jonathan’s wedding is pretty much perfect. We have puppies with handmade ribbon collars and leashes, the most beautiful DIY flowers, a light and fun color palette of yellow and gray, and an Austin, TX wedding venue that is so unique and different. And on top of that, Heather from Eclectic Images […]

When you fall in love with your wedding venue, you just know, no matter what your plans originally were. Amanda and Vlad planned for a Colorado wedding, but they never knew what hit them as they stepped foot onto Bella Collina’s stunning grounds in Florida. Reminiscent of the Tuscan countryside, it was love at first […]

On the day of Katie and Alan’s wedding, Dallas decided to unleash a massive storm, so the couple and their wedding planner, Sarah of Keestone Events, moved their planned outdoor ceremony inside the gorgeous ballroom of Arlington Hall. And while we wouldn’t call a monsoon on your wedding day ideal, we have to say that […]

Pamela and Ryan’s Long Island City wedding is the most perfect combination of industrial chic and garden glamour! The gorgeous exposed brick and clinging ivy of The Foundry set the stage for their handmade affair. So as not to detract from the raw space, they selected a clean color palette of dove gray, navy, and mint with […]

Chris and Lauren envisioned a flower-filled English garden for their nuptials at Pennsylvania’s John James Audubon Center, and working with Sebesta Design, they brought their romantic, classic dream to life. The rustic elements of the venue’s orchards and pavilions set the stage, but Corinne from Sebesta Design incorporated elegant arrangements to mix the two worlds of rustic and […]

Magical and lovely, there may be no more peaceful setting than Atlanta’s tranquil Serenbe.

There is little that’s more stunning than a gold-and-orange hued autumn wedding, and Jenny and Brian’s affair at the Silver Lake Lodge at Deer Valley Resort doesn’t disappoint! Outdoors surrounded by Park City, Utah, mountains, the couple exchanged vows beneath a chuppah. Jenny wore an embroidered Heidi Elnora gown and, while she chose to keep […]
