Gedney Farm Wedding from Experience Events + Clark+Walker Studio
When I dream about the chance to re-design my big day, it usually looks something like this Gedney Farm wedding from Experience Events.

Hill Country Wedding from Tara Welch Photography + Nostalgia Film
I love Tara Welch. And not just because she's one of the sweetest ladies you'll ever meet (she sooo is), but because she also happens to snap up some crazy gorgeous images. Crazy gorgeous images that never fail to leave me breathless. And, in the case of this beautiful Hill Country wedding, a little speechless, too.…

Two Wheels Become One: Slow it Down
Don’t let the order of my recaps fool you—we did not do all the fast dances at the beginning of the night and all the slow dances at the end. That would be weird. It might have worked out better…
Carousel Save The Date Film By Mint Cinematography
A jaunty soundtrack + a ride on a carousel + a spot of snowman building (actually ‘snowmouse’ building) + loved up couple, Cassie & Armando = a save the date film that’s cool, sweet and fun in equal measure.

Playlist: Unexpected Parent Dance Songs
Last month, we asked you guys to give us your best recommendations for non-traditional parent dance songs for weddings. As it turns out, good parent dance songs are actually remarkably hard to pin down. As one commenter mentioned, it can be particularly difficult finding songs that both refrain from infantilizing you while also respecting the [...]
Elisabeth: The Albatross
Wedding planning makes it easy to get caught up in the equation that marriage = forever, therefore things pertaining to the wedding = will also be important forever. Particularly when the wedding industry is force-feeding us the trope that one always represents the whole (mostly they use that idea to sell us invitations that match [...]

Two Wheels Become One: The Tosses

I swear I have been inundated with all things French as of late and I can't get enough. Snapshots of a gorgeous trip to Paris, image after image of a beautiful apartment in Bordeaux and now, this; a French countryside wedding that is indeed the hair that broke the camel's back. I'm buying a ticket…
Pasadena Wedding from Kim Le Photography + studio205films
This may be the cutest "first look" I've ever seen. These two didn't want to break tradition, but needed just a little squeeze before walking down the aisle, so they held hands one last time before saying "I do." And the look on the grooms face... the glowing happiness brought on by enormous amounts of…
