Decor by West Elm

West Elm... quite possibly my new obsession.
Is it too late to add to my Christmas list?

Wedding Coordination by La Lune Events

La Lune Events coordinated this lovely lavendar wedding in Idaho. Some details from Alisa of La Lune Events about the big day;

"The photographer was Ifong Chen from Spokane, WA, and the floral design was by Fleurtations Floral based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. We did the rest of the event design and coordination ourselves. The lavender was handpicked by the bridesmaids at a lavender farm in Washington the day before the wedding. It smelled lovely and we added touches of lavender everywhere we could.

The wedding was held at the bride's parents' home in Hayden, Idaho on 12 wooded acres. The bride's father and the groom milled the timbers and built the gazebo/pergola for the wedding overlooking the pond a few months before the wedding.

Guests enjoyed a traditional wedding ceremony followed by dinner catered by Angelo's Ristorante based in Coeur d'Alene, ID. The rest of the evening included dancing and music at the water's edge."

Lauren and lovely rustic Minnesota wedding was photographed by Gene Pease of Geneoh Photography. The wedding took place at Round Bed and Breakfast in Redwing, and almost the whole wedding was done by the bride and groom. Nice work, Lauren and Ben!

"Ben and Lauren are so fun and so in love, at times I just wanted to stop and watch them interact with eachother. They put their heart and soul into their wedding and it was absolutely amazing because of it. Their wedding is the reason why I love shooting weddings so much, it was extremely emotional, I even teared up for a moment." -Gene

Be sure to check out their bridal collection for some lovely jewelry to accent your wedding!

Photographer Feature: Josh Elliott

I just love it when a couple adds lots of personal details into their wedding. Michele and Casey's wedding was photographed by Josh Elliott, and there's no shortage of elegant details here. The couple used a guitar for all of the guests to sign, and even made a scrapbook board to display. And I'm personally crazy about the dripping crystals on the floral arrangements, and the gorgeous diamond borders around the cake and table numbers. Check out even more photos at Josh's blog here.









A few words from Josh and the bride about the day;

"Casey and Michele met when they were 13...and knew even at that age, they knew that it was love. When the day he proposed came...Michele was off and running with ideas and ended up having her birdcage veil be the inspiration for her entire wedding.

The dress was a custom designed Paccoine..Michele knew from the moment she put it on it was hers. The something blue? Her Christian Louboutins. The one thing the groom wanted was to have a Vespa as the get-a-way ride, and he was more then happy to take it on a test drive while the bride got ready at the venue La Casa Del Camino. Thanks to the amazing and talented coordinators, Jessica Bergendahl, Annette Bravo of Yellow Swans Dancing Events, and Lisa Johnson, the wedding went on without a hitch. Hair and Makeup was provided by Cheek Couture On Location Hair and Make-up, Mollie and Dottie were amazing at making the bride, bridesmaids, and mothers all look and feel amazing on this special day. Michele's inspiration given in words to the Florist Corinne Armstrong of Corinne Armstrong Designs was carried out more beautifully then she could have ever dreamed. Choclate...Glam...Bling...and Vintage....the brides favorite things...where all elements of the wedding. The clouds cleared for a perfect, sunny ceremony with the Grooms mother, Nina singing the prayer for the couple. This day was captured through the lens of Josh Elliott, of JoshElliottStudios.com, and his second shooter Cami, took these amazing images of this Laguna Beach wedding."

Cupcakes by Scrumptions

Scrumptions is a Rhode Island based bakery that I'm pretty excited about. Not only is Scrumptions local, but they make some pretty awesome treats as well. Here are a variety of fun cupcakes that they offer, including s'mores, Oreo, Boston cream, double chocolate, and strawberry shortcake cupcakes. How cute would it be to have any of these cupcakes at your wedding?

Engagement Session by Tealily Photography

I came across this stunning engagement session taken in Paris on the blog of Tealily Photography. Trish, Tealily's photographer, captured Elena and Leo in such romantic moments in some truly beautiful settings. I don't know about you, but these photos really make me want to fly out to Paris!

Style Shoot designed by Plush Wedding and Events

This lovely "Eat, Drink, and be Married" style shoot was designed by Plush Wedding and Events. The vineyard concept shoot took place at Pahrump Valley Winery in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A few words from Plush about the day;

"Attention to detail accompanied by the taste of Nevada’s award winning winery is a reoccurring theme for this style shoot. The contrasting industrial feel of the cellar with the romantic merlot colored décor creates a modern love story. With the help from our preferred vendors we were able to accomplish this stunning design with a serene setting, imaginative floral décor and inspired cake design.

It is obvious models Renee DeMarco and Jacoby Atako couldn’t help getting into character of bride and groom. The engaged couple seemed so comfortable and playfully romantic during the style shoot. Mindy Bean captured them in sweet moments that that show how they truly are. Model Renee’s striking eyes stand out amongst the gold, purples and green embellishments. Our model Jacoby couldn’t stop smiling at his fiancé and looked simply handsome in his tux."
