Happy Friday!

Hope everyone’s weekend includes awesome plans!  I get to go watch some UFC with the Mr. on our Saturday off.  In the meantime, you have to come back on Monday for this gorgeous wedding we are super happy to share with you!

Here’s a teaser!

Happy Friday!

Real Wedding :: Jessica + Matt Part I

If you remember, I had Jessica and Matt’s engagement session here and I fell in love with them and their talented photographer, Priscila of Priscila Valentina Photography.  I must work with her one day I tell ya!

Anyways, this homespun wedding crafted by the bride and her dear friends is just gorgeous!  I apologize if this is a long post but everything is just amazing so I had to break it up into two parts.  Enjoy!

Love the styles of both this couple and the photographer.  Such a perfect blend!

So not only the styles blend perfectly, but so does this couple!

And this moment…le sigh!  The first look is always so special!

Come back tomorrow for Part II!

Real Wedding :: Jessica + Matt Part II

Welcome back to Part II of Jessica and Matt’s wedding!

Pinwheels made by the bride and groom lined the ceremony aisle.  Such a perfect tie with their e-sesh shots!

Serious eye candy over here!

A sweet, beautiful wedding that ends with a bang (and a bunny costume)!

Thanks to Jessica for letting me share.  If you want to see the full wedding, head on over to Priscila Valentina Photography.

Happy Tuesday!

 

Happy Friday!

It’s Friday! I have a wedding to attend, a close friend of mine is tying the knot today and I couldn’t be any happier for her & the groom. Wishing them the best of luck on their new journey!

Now before I start getting ready for today’s wedding, I thought I’d share this stunning wedding dress! Isn’t it just dreamy?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Marchesa Bridal Gowns 2013

You know how we love Marchesa gowns as we’ve covered them before and overall gorgeous aesthetics.  A little on the pricey side but so high on the eye candy scale.  We went on and found some more exquisite gowns from their 2013 collection!  Time flies right?

Here are our favorites!

These next three are my favorite!  So airy and dreamy.  Each perfect for different body types!

Come back tomorrow for our favorites from Monique Lhullier.  All images via Martha Stewart.

Monique Lhullier 2013 Bridal Gown Collection

Another of our all time favorite bridal gown designer is Monique Lhullier.  You know we love her because we’ve covered a lot of her collections in the past.  You can find the recent ones here and here.  Below are some of our favorites from her collection.

This one is so simple yet so elegant.  It’s so versatile too.  From a beachfront wedding to an elegant country club, this one works!  This second one on the other hand is full of drama and bling.  Love it!

Not so much bling?  This one has much less!  You like bows?  So does Monique!

Want cap sleeves?

Ii love Monique Lhullier for her feminine gowns!  This last one is just lovely too!

I’ve had a thing for bows lately and I absolutely adore these Valentino shoes. They’re classy, yet have the perfect amount of bling that anyone would love. Don’t you agree?

You can find them here and in different colors too. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week.
Happy Tuesday everyone!

Real Wedding :: Michelle and Scott

As promised, here are some of our favorite images from a La Venta Inn Wedding we just had this last July.  Michelle and Scott wanted a beach cottage theme for their wedding.  It matched perfectly with the venue located in Rancho Palos Verdes overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  Again, we want to thank Wedding64 for the images and the vendors that were in our team that day!

This brooch was actually special because it was part of the ring that Scott first gave Michelle when he proposed to her.  He didn’t have the real deal at the time but incorporating this into the bouquet was a such a sweet idea.  These beautiful florals were by Pixie’s Petals.

Such a stylish couple too!  The Sottero & Badgley gown fit her like a glove and the groom’s suit was just perfect for Scott who worked on hard on finding the right just the right one.

So much eye candy!  Congrats again Michelle and Scott!
