This gorgeous California secret garden shoot, brought to us by the fab Jen Huang Photography, sets our bohemian hearts aflutter! From the lovely and simple Saja gown to the bride’s soft, loose curls, everything here is uber-romantic. The pops of blue and white in the china echo the fountain wall for a bright burst of color, along with the bold pink-red and white florals by Kelly Kaufman Design. The groom’s classic gray suit is the perfect complement to all of the vibrant colors—see all of the loveliness in the gallery!

Happy Friday everyone! Today’s Friday Flowers are from a sunny shoot styled by one of our favorites, Holly Chapple!  Anne Robert did an amazing job photographing vintage details against the vibrant flowers plucked from Holly’s garden. The yellow tablecloth—a gorgeous backdrop for the bold blooms—is actually a bedspread Holly picked up at a tag sale a couple years ago. Cordial glasses from Belgium, white enamel vases and plates, and a sprinkling of sterling silver lend a collected-over-the-years feel to this charming backyard party setting, and we are completely in love!

If I could choose 3 words to describe today’s absolutely incredible shoot, they would be vintage feminine elegance.  The shoot was inspired by the large hats and fine gloves in ladies’ fashion from the turn-of-the-century as well as one of the most feminine activities of all, tea time! Kelly Oshiro and Tricia Fountaine teamed up to create this gorgeous shoot, pairing pink, peach, and lavender florals with vintage silver containers, tea sets, and old perfume bottles. And just when you think it just can’t get any more fantastic, there’s a puppy too (Kelly’s adorable pup, Mira)! This whole shoot is so gorgeous, it was nearly impossible to only share a few of the gorgeous photos by Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie with you today! Thanks so much to the fabulous team who put it together for sharing it with us today!

Enchanting and romantic, from the moment I set my eyes on this ethereal shoot inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, I haven’t been able to look away!  LeAnna Clark of Details by LeAnna brought the magic of Shakespeare to life with stunning details – lush florals from Anthomanic (including a fabulous floral crown!), letterpress stationery, an antique lace tablecloth and candelabra centerpiece, and the most gorgeous location, Fredericksburg, Virginia’s Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont, an artist’s home full of iron gateways and endless flowering gardens.  I’m completely captivated by these beautiful images from Charlotte Tittle Photography!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday with friends and family and that you were able to enjoy the beautiful fall weekend. Today we have some cheery garden inspiration to help you get over your turkey hangover! This “Love in the Garden” shoot designed by Kailey-Michelle Events incorporates classic and elegant details with a touch of tea party whimsy. Beautiful photos by Ophelia Photography showcase this stunning private residence as well as the gorgeous hydrangea-filled florals that I love by Verde Flower & Plant Design. Thanks so much to Kailey-Michelle Events for this soft, elegant, and uber-feminine shoot!

My lovely friend Jeannine from FAVOR Events has shared two beautiful farm wedding tables, both full of  romantic and rustic details!  The privately-owned farm in Georgia is one part rustic, two parts gorgeous and the tablescapes show the personality of the venue in completely different ways.  All of the lovely images are courtesy of Ben Vigil Photographers.

It’s a gray and gloomy day in Chicago, so what better to cheer me (and you!) up than a whimsical and cheerful garden wedding photo shoot in South Florida, where it’s practically summer all year long! The super-sweet Diana Lupu styled and photographed this shoot, and was inspired to create a vintage garden wedding setting, with simple, romantic details that are beautiful but completely achievable by brides of all budget levels.

Bellissima! Today’s Italian garden party wedding shoot, designed by Brittany Lott of Elle Affairs, has us transported to Tuscany! The inspiration behind the shoot was the classic Tuscan alfresco dining experience, which was brought to life with the setting of Birmingham, Alabama’s La Tavalo. The beautiful outdoor table setting featured loose greenery, rosemary accents and olive oil favors, and we just adore the idea of an olive oil tasting bar—what could be more authentically Italian? The mix of modern and traditional elements was brought to life in the invitation suite from Jessica Stalkner at Empress Stationery and chic wrap bridesmaids dresses from Molly Green. And we are in love with the classic elegance of the gowns from Heidi Elnora. There’s so many details—and stunning images from Spindle Photography—to swoon over right here in the gallery!

Dramatic jewel tones meet rustic barn setting in this inspiration shoot from One Summer Day, set at Silverbrook Farm in Virginia’s Horse Country. It’s simply gorgeous! The fall feel of the shoot is thanks to moody portraits, set amidst vintage decor from Stylish Patina Vintage Rentals. Coordinated by Ashlee Virginia Events, details like brass candlesticks and gold china sit among deep red and purple florals by Petals & Hedges. We cannot take our eyes off the black and gold stationery and that amazing and unusual cake from Cakebee! And how gorgeous is the gown from Soliloquy Bridal Couture? See all of the lovely images right here!

We love this fresh take on nautical style in weddings! Pale pink and gray stationery from Suite Paperie is still nautical-chic, but in a softer presentation than crisp navy and red. Dulce Dreams Events directed a stunning shoot filled with soft blooms from L’Oasis that fit right into the soothing color palette. With images from Alexis June Weddings and Cyrience Photography on a gorgeous old-school sailboat at Maritime Parc, we just can’t get enough of this chic and sophisticated setting! Staying true to the theme, Madison Lee’s Cakes used real seashells for the molds on the cake, and brown sugar created the illusion of sand. The model’s intricate GEMY by Gemy Maalouf gown is stunning! We’re in love with this shoot from top to bottom—see every last detail in the gallery!

There is so much gorgeous inspiration in this collaboration shoot between Kristyn Hogan and the talented team at Historic Cedarwood, and we love it all! Amber Housley created the lovely floral stationery and helped direct the styling of this bridal party tea in the garden. Eclectic linens from Urban Outfitters ground the tables for a collection vintage dishware and vases on top, filled with bold blooms and some of the prettiest teacups we’ve ever seen! The bridal party sipped pink Champagne from Le Grande Courtage while playing dress-up in amazing gowns from The Bride Room and accessories by Beatrice Couture Designs styled by Opulent Couturier. And aren’t you just in love with the playful side pony styled by Jessica Jones? Run, don’t walk, to the gallery to soak up all of the inspiration!

We are just gasping for breath over this gorgeous bohemian shoot from Tamiz Photography! All of the vintage decor mixed with romantic pink blooms and lacy vintage dresses are stunning! The romantic island style of long, loose waves crowned with floral hair wreaths gives away this Maui location, yet there’s something ethereal and placeless about it as well. And have you ever seen a tree swing so pretty? We want to teleport ourselves into this shoot right now, but instead we’ll settle for staring at it all afternoon in the gallery!

This casual backyard shoot in Phoenix, Arizona, could be set anywhere in the Deep South, with its gorgeous magnolia details and Southern vintage charm. Working with Angela Saban Design, Diana Elizabeth photographed everything perfectly, from the Enzoani and Destinations by Mon Cheri gowns to the pale yellow, peach, green, and white florals by The Garage by Ivy. We adore the magnolia detail on the cloth napkins, a DIY project from the fabulous SMP Living. Model Brenna Heater accessorized her breathtaking gown with a pearl belt from Uptown Bridal & Boutique and fabulous fuchsia heels. Angel Cakes Bakery created mini cakes with sweet sugar flowers and a smooth two-tier cake topped with a magnolia flower to carry out the outdoor theme. See all of the charming images in the gallery!

Elisabeth Carol Photography brings us today’s gorgeous inspiration in shades of emerald green and glittery gold, and it’s fabulous! Set outdoors at the Bell Tower Chapel & Garden in Ft. Worth, Texas, this ivory tablecloth is striped in the color scheme and accented with gold flatware and Chiavari chairs. We love! Stunning white bouquets by Events a la Carte are a big burst of sophistication among the other elements, coordinated by Borrowed & Blue. An ivory cake festooned with fresh flowers from Sweetie Mae’s Sweetcakes looks like an edible version of the pretty table arrangements. The strapless gown from David’s Bridal gets a touch of bling, too, from glittery ballet flats. Enjoy this pretty and sophisticated soiree!

This gorgeous and bright shoot from Alixann Loosle Photography makes us feel like we’ve been transplanted to the glorious Mediterranean region, which is why it’s so hard to believe it took place at the stunning La Caille in Sandy, Utah! We love the tropical feel of the bold flowers from Urban Chateau Floral, their cues taken from floral motif stationery by Alexis June Creative. The breathtaking design, by the always fabulous Michelle Leo Events, gets a playful touch from the cherry red scooter, which we adore! The gorgeous bride is a show-stopper in a romantic, flutter-sleeve gown—we are head over heels in love with all of the gorgeous images!

This lovely garden party—set at the Cape Cod Lavender Farm in Harwich, Massachusetts—is just perfect for warm, breezy May days! The shoot was conceptualized and created for Bliss Celebrations Guide by Stacey Hedman and The Perfect Plan, and we love all of the vintage details mixed with the rustic table. Desserts, macaroons, and cake from Sin and Sweet Indulgence are so pretty set against the backdrop of pastel ribbon streamers! Claudia Seyffert of Bliss Celebrations added her stylistic touch to the tablescape, combining floral china with lots of gold and gorgeous spring blooms by Patrice R. Milley Floral Designers. Such a fun and fancy affair—see all of the beauty in the gallery!

The effortless sophistication of this styled shoot by Jen Huang Photography leaves us wanting more! Antique floral china, lace linens, and gold touches courtesy of Borrowed Blu combine with softer fashion choices like a light gray suit and bohemian style beaded gown from Nearly Newlywed Bridal Boutique for a chic but casual affair. Garden blooms and wildflower-inspired bouquets by Sarah Winward of Honey of a Thousand Flowers give an elegant accent when mixed with silver platters of fresh vegetables and flickering candles; the watercolor invitation by Dear Jendo ties in seamlessly with the theme. We’re so in love with the bride’s coral lipstick and gorgeous curls tucked back at the base of her neck, styled by 10.11 Makeup. Ahh, vintage details and romantic styling—does it get any better? See all of the beautiful images in the gallery!

Oh how we love romance and elegance in a classic setting! Katelin Gallagher of Project Wedding worked with photographer Erich McVey to bring us this stunning collaboration at Historic Deepwood Estate in Salem, Oregon, where the beautiful Lazaro gowns take our breath away. A draped sheet featuring oversize calligraphy by Neither Snow is a gorgeous backdrop for outdoor vows, where bold blooms and berries by Petalos pop against the lush greenery. We love the attention to detail, too—from the velvet Midori ribbon wrapping the bouquet to the fabulous marble cake from Peter Corvallis Productions. And speaking of cake, we’re enamored with the off-center tiered dessert by Sugarhouse Cake—fun and fabulous! See it all in the gallery!

We couldn’t think of any better way to start out a week than this positively gorgeous inspiration shoot from Easton Events and Jose Villa! Inspired by the old world allure of their Charleston setting, Fenwick Hall, the elegant tabletop was set beneath the canopy of a stunning oak tree with dripping Spanish moss. Soft blush and champagne flowers by Southern Blooms by Pat’s Floral Design set atop a beautiful table with fine heirloom china, perfectly polished silver, and flowing linens. An oriental rug and classic calligraphy invitations completed the picturesque scene. We are utterly in love with each and every detail, especially the perfect blush Carol Hannah gown! See all of the stunning images in the gallery!

This vintage glam black and gold wedding inspiration shoot from Kristyn Hogan and Cedarwood Weddings is absolute perfection! Gold mirrors, frames, and artwork combined with antique lace and soft florals creates a stunning backdrop at Historic Cedarwood in Nashville, Tennessee. The ruffled icing on the cake by Patty Cakes is adorable, and we also love the cool idea of a coffee bar stocked with flavored syrups. The gorgeous stationery from Designs in Paper is one of the best details! Our eyes are completely lit up over this one!
