Special Edition: A Romantic Wedding Preview

I wasn't going to post again today, but Meg over at La Partie Events has posted additional photos from Nadia & Charles Wedding, so I'm giddy to share. Here is a sample:

You can also see more photos on 100 Layer Cake and Once Wed. Isn't it the most romantic wedding ever? I love all of the vintage art nouveau wedding details, the Etsy touches, and how totally in love these two kids are. Perfecto!

Real Wedding: Corinne and Chuck

Phil and Mindy, the creative team behind Phindy Photography, recently shot Corinne and Chucks wedding in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The weather, the location, everything about the day was just perfect. The fete was put together by the talented folks at A Delightful Day.

Can't go wrong with mismatched bridesmaid dresses in your color palette.

How rad is this dress?

The palette and details are so pretty. A lot of vintage details, especially with the lily of the valley bouquet. Glasses tipped to Phil and Mandy for capturing everything so beautifully. Check out more of their work here.

Real Wedding: Todd Pellowe Photography

Todd Pellowe just about had me stumped. After checking out his blog, I was at a complete loss. How was I supposed to choose one wedding from the gazillion gorgeous sets? The next one was more beautiful, more unique than the one before.

So I based my choice on today's cool weather. Maybe it's a sign that fall's right around the corner, maybe the odds are that August has at least one temperate day, who knows. But I was drawn to the richness of this wedding. I often post casual, home grown, organic weddings, but figured hey, let's class this joint up for a little bit.

Meet Jessica and her bridesmaids. Jessica married Jason in Louisville, KY this summer. Jessica is drop dead, cover your boyfriend's eyes gorgeous. Her bridesmaids look awesome in their mismatched yet coordinating dresses. Pheasant feathers in the bouquets? You bet. I said classy, didn't I?

Stephanie Williams & Ruche: Match made in heaven!

Hats off to Stephanie Williams, one of my favorite photographers. All of her work slaps a huge smile on my face, but I am particularly smitten with her photos for the new Ruche Look Book. For those of you who aren't familiar with Ruche, I suggest you take a look at their site immediately. Oh Em Gee, it's like Anthropologie only affordable. Here are the fall teasers:




Be sure to check out more of Stephanie's photos on her blog (there is a fabulous vintage wedding shoot that's a must read) and get yourself to the Ruche site ASAP!

Real Wedding: Zaq & Amber

I'm posting Zaq and Amber's wedding even though I am beyond lame compared to these two. Their killer style and personalities shine throughout these photos. The details are so original and, best of all, DIY! Thanks to Ashley from AE Photography for sharing this set with me.

To see more (and I guarantee you'll want to) photos from Zaq and Amber's wedding visit AE Photography's blog or check out Amber's wedding blog here, which is loaded with her diy projects and ideas. Girl, you are rad. Seriously.

Keep your eyes peeled for more AE Photography weddings and engagements on brides {bliss}.

Wedding in the Woods: {Kristen & Todd}

I don't unusually buy wedding magazines, but the current issue of Modern Bride is essential to every girl who loves vintage style. Elizabeth Messina captured these phenomenal images from Kristen and Todd's wedding at Nestledown in Northern California. It is a combination of Louis Icart, woodland fairies, and Midsummer Night's dream whimsy, with an edge.









The fabulous shrug was made from family heirloom lace by the talented Holly Stalder. And the fascinator? Custom made for the bride by Leah C. Couture. Sasha Souza is the amazing planner who put this fete together. What a fantastic collaboration of talent! Absolutely breathtaking and one-of-a-kind! To see more photos, pick up a copy of Modern Bride or visit Elizabeth Messina's blog, Kiss the Groom.

Real Wedding: Fresh Peaches

Gorgeous florals from Laura and Kevin's wedding; a beautiful palette in shades of peach. Photography by Katie Moos, flowers by Modern Day Designs.

Real Wedding: Jason Groupp Photography

I adore the details of this wedding from Jason Groupp Photography. The couple, Vanessa and Pete, chose Shelter Island, NY as their location; and what a place! The cottage Vanessa got ready in is quaint and cozy. And the church! Can you believe the church?

All of this is only equalled by the brides Oscar de la Renta gown. It honestly has me questioning my own dress. So beautiful with the fuchsia Manolo's.

For more photos from Vanessa and Pete's wedding, and other gorgeous events, go here.










Don't you love the girls' white dresses? And the gothic window in the vintage decorated cottage? And everything else?!

Real Wedding Wednesday: Our Labor of Love by Heidi

You abso-freakin-lutely have to check the rest of these photos out on Our Labor of Love immediately. Eye orgasm! It is ridiculously adorable, like, I want to name my first born after it. Amy Osaba is the brilliant mind behind the gorgeous flowers, which I heart very much.









Too flippin' cute! For more of Our Labor of Love's work, click here, and prepare yourself by grabbing a drool cloth NOW.

Real Wedding Wednesday: Lisa Rigby Photography

Today's real wedding comes from Lisa Rigby of Boston, Massachusetts. I love the composition and saturation of Lisa's photos, and her ability to capture the subject's feeling in each picture.

Danielle and Mina were married at Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Natick, MA followed by a reception at the Herreshoff Museum. In the time between the ceremony and reception, Lisa took the beautiful couple to Coggeshall Farms in Bristol, Rhode Island for formal portraits and captured some glorious images. Enjoy!










I love Danielle's dress! Lisa hit the nail on the head with the location; the fabric of the gown seemed to be part of the natural surroundings. The first photo just takes my breath away. There is a vintage, verdigris quality to it.

The couple had an Egyptian Coptic ceremony, hence the crowns. I mean, every bride should get to rock a crown on her wedding day. Yay to tradition!
