Need inspiration? Take a peek at this.

Remember my mention of Australia's Wedding Style Guide last week? Well, the full issue is unbelievably creative and worth purchasing if you're in need of inspiration. The featured weddings range from sweet to schoolhouse chic, and I adore every one of them. You can purchase the full magazine here.

Spring things.

We got our first taste of spring here in Seattle yesterday... and I want more! Here are some inspiring images from Martha Stewart Weddings to inspire a little spring fever in brides-to-be out there. You can view the full gallery here. Enjoy!

Vintage wedding style done oh-so-right.

I just ran across an image from Heather & Andrew's vintage-inspired wedding and had to revisit the whole album as shot by the talented Julia Newman. The level of detail these two put into their reception is amazing. I'm particularly fond of the brightly patterned vintage napkins you'll see below. Nothing is matchy matchy, yet everything looks just perfectly put together. Enjoy!

Wow.

How insanely inspiring is this editorial shoot from Jose Villa? The colors! The patterns! Yet, it somehow feels so natural, too? I simply love it.

A London bride.

Daf & Alexa's darling London wedding is the kind of wedding I covet (and not only because it occurred in my favorite city!). This cute couple incorporated lots of fun, personal touches and bright colors. I adore the double decker bus they hired to transport guests, the bunting that decorated their chic pub setting, and the sweet heart-shaped chalkboards used around the reception as signage. Be sure to check out the link above to see every last detail as captured so wonderfully by photographer Jodie Chapman. Have a great weekend!

A simple + lovely cherry-inspired wedding.

I could stare at these peaceful photos of Cathleen & Eric's rustic wedding for some time. The setting is gorgeous, the decoration is simple but sophisticated, and I love all the cherries! It's just amazing.

Embroidered Converse? Sign me up.

What isn't to love about these embroidered Converse for a bride and groom? I also adore the cheerful (and sweet!) favors turned escort cards that newlyweds Victoria & Dave chose for their wedding day. Judging by these photos, they look like a really fun couple who put together a wedding that really reflected their personalities. Bravo! Photographer David McNeil has many more images up over at his blog. Enjoy!

Colleen + Kirk.

I was so excited to see Colleen + Kirk's magical Indiana University, vintage-inspired wedding over at Style Me Pretty last week. My husband and I both met in Bloomington and are both IU grads. So, seeing this lucky couple's beautiful photos transported me right back to the student union in summertime. Be sure to follow the link above to see the full gallery.

And, would you believe today is my parents' 30th wedding anniversary? Amazing. =)

Tilt shift wedding photos.

When I saw the first photo shown below recently, I was pretty geeked to think there could be tilt shift wedding photos out there. I'm not sure if that's what the photographer intended, but it reminded me of that style. If you aren't familiar with tilt shift photography, it's a technique in which the camera (or finished image) is manipulated in order to turn its subject into what looks like a miniature-scale model.

If you'd like to see tilt shift imagery outside of the wedding world, check out this cool article over at Smashing Magazine. Aren't they fun?

A super fun yellow + gray wedding.

Don't we all just love a wedding that has no detail left unturned? Looking at these incredible photos by the talented Rebekah Westover, you can see that Mallory + Josh's big day was one of those weddings. Those bouquets! Those socks! Those balloons! I just adore every fun detail this cute couple thought of. Rebekah captured each detail perfectly, too. Be sure to visit the link above to see many, many more pics.

A very Seattle wedding.

My former West Seattle neighborhood has some of the best views in the city. Alki Beach Park runs right along Puget Sound and, on a clear day, the Olympics pop up on the horizon. When my sister was getting married a few years ago, I tried to convince her into having a destination wedding that included two venues in the area: Luna Park and the Alki Bathhouse. She didn't go for it, so you can imagine my delight when I discovered Natalie + Robert's wedding celebration in those very spots. =) Be sure to click through to photographer Kip Beelman's full set of images. They're gorgeous!

One great photo.

Sharing a serene and beautiful image by the talented team at Segerius-Bruce Photography today. I love the angle this photo was taken from, the tangible emotions of this couple, and those cobblestones (!). Amazing.

Have a great weekend!

A real life Etsy wedding.

When I was flipping through the current issue of Real Simple Weddings, I was excited to see the wedding of Cynthia + Les. Not only are they a gorgeous couple (look at those smiles!), but the colors and little details they incorporated are so stylish. Many items were created by either Etsy vendors (which you know I love!) or the happy couple, so their big day was a true handmade wedding. Links follow below. Enjoy!
