Karen + Arcangelo’s Modern Montreal Wedding…

Hello, hello! I hope you all had a great weekend:) I love the wedding we are starting the week off with today. It was sent over by the bride, Karen, and is just beautiful!!! Karen and Arcangelo were married at an old 1930′s cabaret that was converted into an event hall in Montreal, Quebec. While Karen loves all thing vintage, Arcangelo is more of a modern man, so the modern design elements like the lighting and attire, paired with the historic venue, made for a perfect meshing of their personal styles. I am DYING over Karen’s dress and shoes!!! They are so unique and gorgeous. Don’t you think?

California Wedding with Southern Charm…

Today’s wedding was sent over by Lydia Messenger Photography, and its venue brings a little bit of southern charm to California! Gone with the Wind is probably my favorite movie of all time (much to my husband’s chagrin), and growing up I always dreamed of getting married at Tara in a flouncy ruffled dress ala Scarlett O’Hara (pre making a dress out of curtains Scarlett of course, though that curtain dress was pretty impressive!). As I got older, my wedding ideas changed a bit…ok a lot, but I will always hold a special little spot in my heart for that southern wedding dream. This bride clearly had a southern wedding dream too, and I love that she found a venue that helped bring that dream to life! Ok, rambling over, time for pictures…

Andrea + Nico’s Oregon Coast Wedding…

Andrea + Nico were married in the beautiful coastal Oregon town of Yachats, and their fun-filled wedding was sent over by WOA Photos! I’ve always wanted to visit the Oregon coast, but have yet to make it there. These photos remind me once again of why exactly it is that I want to vacation there- the STUNNING ocean views! I’m more of a forest girl than a beach girl, but these beaches are calling my name! Seriously, what a perfect location to tie the knot. Just gorgeous!

Romantic Travelers Wedding…

It’s the beginning of a new week, and I have the perfect wedding to kick your Monday off to a great start! Teddie + Lindia’s romantic travel themed wedding was sent over by Jeremy Chou Photoworks, who did an awesome job capturing the day. The beautiful design, created by my dear friend Miss Tashina, was inspired by their love of travel. Vintage maps, globes and suitcases adorned the reception, and I particularly love the paper globe seating chart. So cute and creative!

Industrial Chic Wedding…

Jess + Liana’s Boston wedding, sent over by Ashley O’Dell Photography, is a real beauty! Their venue is just gorgeous with all its open space, natural light, and industrial feel. It was set off perfectly by the chic pieces the two spent months seeking out. I adore the chandelier hanging over the aisle, the painted shutters, and awesome “It smells like girls in here!” print. On top of all that, these ladies make a pretty stunning couple if you ask me:)

Whimsical Park Wedding…

I’m loving all the whimsy and charm in Tiffany and Kevin’s wedding, sent over by the wonderful Ala Cortez of Love Ala!

Does it get any better?
