Lemonade Stand Engagement Shoot

Wow, do I have a swoon-worthy engagement to share with y'all today! Captured By Belinda photos took my breath away the moment I set eyes on this lemonade stand inspired shoot. Aside from the beautiful couple clearly so in love, the sentimental value of the shoot - "turning lemons into lemonade" is so closely connected to a marriage! Life is sure to throw you some lemons throughout your years together but in the end, it's all about making the most of them!

Red, White & Blue Travel Inspired Elopement Shoot

Happy 4th of July, Vintage Lovers! To help celebrate, I have a beautiful vintage red, white and blue travel inspired elopement shoot to share! Talk about some seriously swoon-worthy inspiration!

 

From photographer, Catie Ronquillo: We used vintage suitcases, books, and a gold frame to stylize the setting. The cake table featured five separate cakes, each with its own design, but still cohesive with the theme. Florals included great pops of red with anemones. Guests received a "wedding passport" save the date tucked inside a hand-lined snap close envelope and a boarding pass wedding invitation with a red airmail envelope. The travel inspired wedding showcased individual menus wrapped around each napkin, airmail escort cards pinned to a vintage map, and kraft notebook favors accented with custom "Bon Voyage" stickers.

A big thanks to Catie Ronquillo Photography for sharing! Have a fun and safe 4th!

A Shoreside Rehearsal Dinner

Check out this Lake Michigan shoreside rehearsal dinner created by the ladies over at Alison Events, ah-mazing!  The fresh party details included; striped table runners, tent draping, wildflower centerpieces and mismatched Liberty of London print napkins. Of course some delicious catering by Blue Plate, that included a roasted pig, corn on the cob, and potato salad. Helping to liven up the crowd was a New Orleans style jazz band that played throughout the evening. Ummm... is anyone else thinking what I am thinking? I would be a hundred and ten percent okay if this beyond gorgeous rehearsal dinner was my wedding!

Rustic Thanksgiving Wedding

Weddings and Thanksgiving have a major thing in common; the bringing together of all those you are thankful for in life on one special day. Well, and of course some delicious food! Since I am in the holiday spirit I must share this gorgeous Thanksgiving inspired styled shoot from Honey and Poppies and Braedon Photography.  From the table settings to the incredible farmhouse table, these vintage details are seriously swoon worthy!

I couldn't forget to mention how much I adore these vintage serving utensils. Talk about the perfect touch for a vintage inspired weddings dessert table!  Check out antique stores, flea markets, thrift stores or even Grandma's house to start your collection.
