Southern Sweet Wedding

I can best describe this southern wedding, from Three Nails Photography, as simple-sweet romance. The color palette of grey and soft whites creates the perfect dreamy atmosphere. Adding to the gorgeous atmosphere is some fabulous DIY's that include the centerpiece flags, bon voyage flags, and a paper wreath. Seriously swoon worthy right?!

Since I will be having a large bridal party, I found this unique spacing and coupling during the ceremony to be very inspiring!

Happy Anniversary To Us!

I seriously cannot believe it, today is the one year anniversary of my little bridal blog! I started this as a way to filter my millions and sometimes crazy wedding ideas with no intention of anyone ever even looking at it. So now here we are today, one year later and I guess you guys are actually reading this! Who would of thought?! Something that started out so small as an inspiration sounding board for me has really turned into a passion, and I cannot even express how happy it makes me to be able to share my inspiration with other brides and individuals who share the same vintage design love as me! I thank-you all for the support, inspiring me to act on my passion, and most importantly giving me a reason to keep posting all this crazy wonderful vintage inspiration. In honor of our one year anniversary, I figured we deserved a little treat! So here is a collection of my favorite non-wedding cake dessert ideas, enjoy!

Church Pew Decorating

This past week I had a minor case of wedding decorating anxiety, how am I going to decorate my church pews?! Nothing personal against the traditional tulle pew bow but that is just NOT me! So I did a little research and came up with some great alternatives that I hope any of you non-tulle pew bow loving brides will find helpful too;

BC Vintage-Chic Engagement

I am loving this vintage-chic British Columbia engagement session. The beautiful Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse creates the perfect setting for the amazing design details of Petite Pearl Events. I love that the design team left on the weathered mason jar rings for added detail. Oh and check out that vintage lantern, gorgeous!
