Real Weddings: Heather + Jonathan

Christina and Brent’s wedding is the perfect example of how a little rain could never truly spoil the beauty and love of a wedding. They started their celebration outside at Rust Manor in Leesburg, Virginia, and just as their officiant said “you may kiss the bride” tiny sprinkles started falling from the sky! Luckily, their […]

Kelsey and Andrew’s Indiana wedding was an elegantly rustic event at Heston Hills Banquet Hall. Kelsey (who is a wedding photographer herself!) and her friends and family created tons of handmade details (the favors, invitations, place cards, centerpieces… and the list goes on!) to make their wedding really personal. My absolute favorite details are the […]

Jennie and Jordan did not let a modest budget stand in the way of having their dream wedding. They brought in a team of friends and family to help create a gorgeously natural event. According to Jennie, instead of thinking about “what [they] couldn’t spend” they thought instead about “how [they] could do it differently”…really inspiring, […]

Casey and Joey dreamed of a rustic, romantic Virginia wedding, and we know they must’ve pinched themselves to make sure their fantasy had really come to life.

There is something so effortlessly elegant about Laurie and Michael’s sun-washed wedding on the grounds of the gorgeous The Villa of San Juan Capistrano. Could that be because the bride is a Newport Beach, California interior designer?! Laurie put her skills to work for her wedding, envisioning a vibrant, French-inspired affair complete with the happiest floral […]

Chelsea and Evan’s rustic Charlottesville Virginia wedding, photographed by Eric Kelley, is divine. The couple gave Pat’s Floral Design complete creative freedom when it came to crafting casual centerpieces for the wooden farmhouse tables. “Our main words of guidance were that we wanted a laid-back look of seasonal wildflowers in no particular color palette,” said the […]

Lauren and Breck were married on the most beautiful spring day at Stewart Farm in Industry, Texas.  Elegant and understated, their decor enhanced the gorgeous surroundings by featuring fluffy, all-white centerpieces of hydrangea, peonies, freesia, and orchids on lovely wood tabletops.  Lauren loves to cook, and worked closely with Wade Schindler’s Party Thyme to create […]

A day 14 years in the making, Annabelle and Andrew’s wedding was certainly a celebration! A celebration with phenomenal flowers (done by the bride’s aunts!), a pretty venue, a ton of handmade and homemade details, loving friends and family, and one killer pair of shoes! They were married at Murray Hill, a Virginia home with views overlooking […]

I absolutely love when weddings are several days long – an extended celebration of friends, family, food, and all the memories being shared AND made! Chloe and Stephen’s wedding was held at Chloe’s parents house and friends and family were around all week helping to set up for the big day (including her grandmother who […]

Inspired by the image of a bright pink and purple sunset, Kristen and Andrew’s Loudoun County, Virginia wedding is pure rustic elegance.  Held at the beautiful Whitehall Manor, Kristen and Andrew planned an outdoor ceremony with the Blue Ridge mountains as a backdrop.  Hurricane Irene had other plans!  Luckily, despite the wrath of mother nature, […]

Did you ever go to summer camp? The closest I ever got was watching Salute Your Shorts on Nickelodeon but I don’t think I ever saw Camp Anawanna look as beautiful as this! It was important to Elizabeth and Tom to be surrounded by nature so they were married at Camp Choconut in Friendsville, PA. Their […]

There is just so. much. pretty. in Courtney and Nate’s whimsical and sweet Los Angeles wedding from Erin Hearts Court! I have always been a huge lover of a romantic pink, red, and white color palette and love the charming accents that Courtney and Nate used to bring it to life – baker’s twine, garden-style […]

Christina and William’s wedding is chock-full of DIY cuteness!   A true handmade wedding in every sense of the word, Christina created all of the fun decor and letterpressed her wedding invitations, and friends handmade her gown and pulled together all of the floral arrangements.   I love the punchy red and blue color palette, and Sarah K. Chen‘s images are absolute […]

Only two days left in 2010 and we’re going to close out the year right!  Today’s favorite wedding, from the fabulous duo of Whitney and Jesse of Our Labor of Love, is that of Max and Margaux.  All you really need to hear to know that their two day backyard celebration is knock-your-socks-off amazing is that the awesome […]

Brent and Lydia were married on a glorious Virginia spring day. After a ceremony at Church of Our Savior at Oatland’s Plantation (where the couple went on their second date, and where he proposed), the celebration continued at The Hillsborough Vineyard. Theirs is a wedding which gives a nod to the traditional, but was peppered with […]

We just adore the springy peach and pink tones and floral theme running throughout Laura and Marcus’s wedding in Horseshoe Bend, Texas! Rustic elements like succulents and wooden crates mixed with peach and pink florals and mercury glass vases, all from Petal Pushers, transformed the Escondido Golf & Lake Club into a garden wonderland for […]
