So many of us were, are, or will be in the exact same boat this bride was in when the moment she was engaged. After the question is popped, it's time to bring out the box of images we had been collecting for years and years and finally start planning. This California wedding featured a laundry list of our very own, always talented, LBB vendors. The cake, flowers, catering, planning, and design all took place on premise - at the...
You guys know what tends to happen to me when I get my hands on a Jose Villa wedding. I turn into a five year old who just took her first steps inside a candy store. Giddy, flustered, squealing here and there for no particular reason. Well, that's exactly what I did when I opened my email to see this gem of a wedding sitting there all perfect and pretty. Then I saw the vendor list...

I think this is an adorable idea for an engagement shoot or even a day-after or anniversary session. The cute-as-can-be couple joined one of my favorite Aussie photographers, White Wall Photography, for a dreamy, picnic filled with items inspired by their heritage. The sweet and playful picnic was styled with origami hearts, fortune cookies, and other delicious looking goodies. I can't wait to see their wedding (hint...
I am definitely feeling the organic modern vibe I get from this San Francisco beauty from What Shanni Saw and Dream A Little Dream Events! It's urban meets elegant meets natural and it's all so fine. I love the mercury glass vases filled with succulents, ferns, hydrangea and tulips scattered across the long feasting tables. And can we just...
As a little girl The Secret Garden was one of my all time favorite stories. How can you go wrong with a story about little girl, wandering in around an English manor, finding a magical garden and then bringing it all to life? Such my cup of tea. So you better believe the little girl in me was all sorts of excited when this beauty from McGowan Images and megBdesign graced my...
Handpicked bouquets from her grandmothers garden. Invitations designed by her new sister. A dress made with love just for her. Sounds like the perfect mix of ingredients for a completely handmade wedding, doesn't it? That is just what this Ohio wedding was - completely and totally DIY. Even the oh-so-talented Gina Leigh Photography is a sister to the groom. Make sure to save time for the wedding stories - both from Gina and from...
Sadly, I've never been to Italy. The closest I've been is Spain, so I'm not claiming to be an expert on Italian weddings or anything. But I'm pretty sure all you amateurs and pros alike will agree with me that these images from MIMMO & NAZ are the epitome of Italian romance! The amazingly ancient church, the tiny crooked streets, the vistas for days...yup. It's all here. Get cozy with your coffee and...
This little number first debuted on one of our local wedding blogs but we loved it so much we had to put it up here in sparkling twinkle lights. Crafted by the lovely Jen of Jen Huang Photography and Betsey of Nine Cakes, this is what their little tea party for friends looks like. Pretty amazing...
Black, white and yellow is still a color palette that is going strong as we saw from yesterday's wedding. Alexi Shields and this team of talented Palm Beach vendors put together inspiration to show another way of using this bold, modern trio of hues. It's always interesting to me how a concept can...
So I'm going to start things off backward and tell you that you must check out the gallery to get the full appreciation for this amazing wedding. Over the course of two days this charming bride got to frolic in three gorgeous dresses! We're talking about Vera Wang, Marchesa, and Alexander McQueen all wrapped up in one fabulous weekend in Bali. Be still my little heart! Johnny Productions had the lucky job of capturing all the...
Growing up I wouldn't have been caught dead wearing pink but somehow, over the years, I've grown quite fond of this romantic hue. Each shade can give off a totally different vibe and tell a totally different story. I love the bold, sexy look of fuchsia so you know I was all about this destination wedding in Mexico photographed by Kate Triano Photography. The pops of hot pink transform the space into a super fun and playful oasis and...
Get ready to feast your peepers on some seriously stunning images by Adrienne Gunde Photography. There is just something about a cardigan-wearing, peony-carrying, vineyard marrying bride that gets makes my giddy meter go off the charts. Are you with me on this one? I am just eating it all up, and you better believe there is even more in the full gallery.
This next wedding is especially for all you out-doorsy kinda ladies out there. It's the idyllic setting in the woods, by a lake, in a lodge and Matt Lien did such an amazing job capturing the essence of this wedding that I can smell the pine needles from here! I'm loving all the rustic goodness from the wood tables topped with lace to the antique rocking chairs.
This next wedding is so effortlessly cool, kinda like the congregation of Airstream trailers on the Texas ranch where this adorable couple got hitched. Captured beautifully by Matthew Moore Photography, this intimate, super-duper budget friendly wedding proves that with a little creativity and effort, you can have a gorgeous wedding with tons of style. ...
Ladies and gents, the groom of this Virginia wedding is a certified keeper with a capital K. Actually let's just hit the caps lock key and make him an all caps KEEPER because that would be fitting for this gem of a groom. This little post just happens to be a surprise to the SMP loving bride (surprise!!) and was submitted by her loving hubby because he knew just how much she adored the site. Well, I just adore this winter wedding and all of its well thought out details, but I am a sucker for...
The way this bride and groom transformed this barn along California's central coast is outstanding. They were lucky enough to have friends with such a spectacular space but wanted to add a little more to create their perfect venue. By building a reclaimed wood wall to hang gilded frames and mirrors behind the head table, crafting an enormous chandelier with mason jars and bringing in loads of vintage pieces they were able to bring their rustic yet elegant dream to life. ...
Welcome to a stunning San Antonio swoonfest by Perez Photography. From the engagement story (a must read) to the big day - every bit is as romantic and pretty as can be. And I haven't even told you about the cakes yet, each table had a different cake of the homemade variety free for the tasting. You could just walk around all of this prettiness eating cake! Now that's having your cake and eating it too if you ask me.
A good rehearsal dinner can so often be like the more relaxed sister of the wedding. Just as fun, just as beautiful, but a little more inclined to let her hair down. This is why we love a fab rehearsal dinner just as much as a gorgeous wedding. Just looking through Hannah Photography's images of this Colorado rehearsal dinner, gives us such a sense of ease. You can almost feel the wind blowing off the mountain and the gravel under your...
