Brittany and John were married this last summer in Seattle, WA in a gorgeous church wedding at Seattle University’s St. Ignatius Chapel followed by a rooftop reception downtown. I pretty much love everything about this wedding by Asgari Photography. Who wouldn’t? Personalized cookies and Nintendo cufflinks have since been added to my wedding “must do” list. Enjoy, and Happy Thursday!
From the moment I laid eyes on this couple, I fell madly in love with all the festive details and with their zest for each other. There was no turning back, as my quest to learn more about Kristy and Rodrigo became all consuming. I was introduced to the work of Martine Cotton, and have been an avid fan ever since.
Today’s real wedding inspiration is the ultimate carnival quilt woven together by the laughter of close family, the shutters of a beachfront chapel, the symphony of Portuguese dialogue and the tropical palette of a Far North Queensland port. For Australian bride – Kristy, and her Brazilian beau – Rodrigo, It was all hands on deck on September 4, 2010, for their DIYD (Do-It-Yourself-Destination) affair, in which most of the details were coordinated remotely, or designed by the bride.
The day kicked…
Remember that engagement session with the awesome pink couch from a couple of weeks ago? Here’s the wedding! Tirza and Brady were hitched this summer at a stunning retreat center and Dawn Sparks was there to capture it in all of its beautiful glory. Tirza shares her tips and vendors below and how to have the wedding of your dreams without breaking your piggy bank wide open.
Did your wedding location hold a specific significance to you?
We chose our venue because it had a rustic Italian feel. It had just the right amount of elegance and yet it felt laid back at the same time-my husband, Brady, and I just loved it!
What was the most meaningful part of your day?
Besides being surrounded by friends and family, I would have to say it was the ceremony. Our pastor did an…

I would love to say that I chose to feature this wedding for the love evident between Lyndsey and Koby (which is so very clear in all of their sweet smiles), or the way that Ashley Photographer captured the gorgeous Los Angeles afternoon (which she did…fabulously). But if I am being truthful, for me, this wedding is all about Lyndsey’s dress. I’m still trying to figure out where she found it (and when I do, I promise I’ll share). Ruffled collar and cap sleeves? Yes, please!

I love Texas weddings (little known fact about me: I was born in College Station, Tx. Go Aggies!). And this wedding is absolutely a perfect example as to why. Check out all of the gorgeous creamy neutral colors, thoughtful centerpieces that were a result of fun family time, and just admire Danna’s dress (I have been drooling over it all morning). This amazingness was captured by Brooke Schwab. Cheers!
Did your wedding location hold a specific significance to you?
Although we wanted a destination wedding, the most important thing was to have all of our family and friends join us on our big day. Being from Dallas, we looked to neighboring city, Fort Worth, as the perfect embodiment of convenience and “get away.”
Our reception was held at Tadao Ando’s Modern Art Museum, which is one of, if not the most beautiful, space I’ve ever seen. My…
I woke up this morning to a very cold and blustery day, and I definitely had a case of the blahs until I saw this gorgeously cheerful wedding inspiration shoot by Aurora Meneghello of Locally Grown Weddings. The shoot’s styling is done by eco-friendly experts and vendors and the result is fantastic! Check out real-life couple Tina and Travis as they enjoy a beautiful San Francisco “faux” wedding day!
Thoughts from Locally Grown Weddings:
Styling a faux wedding is always a fun adventure! From developing the concept to bringing all the elements together into one cohesive story, it is such a creative process. For our Mission photo shoot, the vision and design stemmed from a real-life couple, Tina and Travis, who just got married in San Francisco this July. We were excited to collaborate and find ways to incorporate elements of their real wedding plans into our storyline.…
Wednesday is the perfect day for a little wedding dress fun, right? Please enjoy this lovely bridal model shoot from C’na Photography, full of terrific details such as the GORGEOUS pink and red bouquet and sheet music pinwheel.
