Our  Etsy shop can be found {here}.

Jess & TJ’s Colorado ranch wedding weekend is featured in all the local editions of Brides magazines (Southern California, Northern California, Colorado—of course!—as well as New York, Chicago, DC, Atlanta, et cetera)! Hooray! So pick up a copy at a newsstand near you.  The article shows insight into how Jess and TJ planned what turned out to be a pretty incredible three day celebration for themselves and their friends and families.   This epic wedding brings to mind the phrase “one for the books” and we’ll be sharing lots of different images on the blog here this upcoming week.  (It’s also featured on Brides.com and can be found here, if you’d like a peek).

With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, I thought I’d share a tear from Brides magazine, which just came in the mail. It offers some great ideas for honoring your mother on your wedding day.  I, for one, certainly wish that I’d walked down the aisle with both my father and my mother.  (Honestly, my husband and I agree that if we had one thing to do over, we would have honored all of our parents more at our wedding.  It seems sometimes like the father of the bride is the only one who comes with “built in” moments in the spotlight.)  And I love this mother-daughter dance tradition (suggestion #15), though I’ve seen it only once … at the wedding pictured above.

If you’d like to see more photos from this wedding, we featured it awhile back {here}.

Love this wedding, with perfectly quirky design and myriad personal touches, including a ring of succulents (prominently featuring one of my most favorite varieties – the echeveria afterglow!).  It’s over on Once Wed today {here}.  Some of you know I’m packing and moving right now, but I have my (probably over-ambitious) fingers crossed that I can post a bunch more of my favorite images here … soon.

We love C Magazine’s stylish C Weddings issue!  Last year, they featured Negar & Peter’s downtown Los Angeles wedding.  This year, they’re featuring S + E’s secret-garden-in-wine-country wedding.  We were so excited to get our copy in the mail yesterday!

Nada & Paul’s wedding is being featured on Vera Unveiled today! {Click here} to see more images!  It’s also definitely worth trolling through the archives over there. I love fashion sketches, and the “behind the dress” posts have some really beautiful ones.
