While all aspects of a wedding are a reflection of the bride and groom, nothing obviously makes a bigger statement about the bride than her wedding dress. It’s such a beautiful representation of her sense own sense of style and personality. And, as we all know, there are plenty of options to be had!
If you’re a bride of the vintage, bohemian, Eco, or artistically-inclined, then Salvage Life may just have the dress you’re looking for. Based out of Long Beach, California, owner Beth Giles uncovers lush vintage finds with the idea to discourage wastefulness and promote sustainable buying practices. And, given that tradition would have you wearing something “old” on your wedding day, what could be better than vintage? Plus, on a day when your heart will be full with love for friends, family, and, of course, your new husband, why not show a little love…
How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story:
Terrence: We met at a bar. But it’s not what you think. Really. In September 2000, we attended the Sunbelt Job Fair at the Crown Plaza Suites in Dallas, Texas. I was coming down from an interview in a glass elevator, when I spotted a beautiful lady sitting at the bar. I got off of the elevator, and made my way over to the bar. To my good fortune, my best friend was talking to this beautiful lady, Monica. I conveniently injected myself into the conversation, and we immediately hit it off. Monica was not only beautiful, but funny and intelligent as well. The good news is that we both landed jobs – Monica in Dallas, and I in New York. The not-so-good news is that we had to wait 4 1/2 years before seeing each again.…
I love wedding dresses that make a serious style statement or others that are fun and flirtatious, but today I’m swooning over these sophisticated and gorgeous “Golden State” namesakes from Watters. Each of these combine classic silhouettes and details but with plenty of glamor galore! Any bride would look radiant in one of these dream dresses!

Kris and Kristen’s wedding is another one of those weddings that is jam-packed with details; there’s the cupcake bar, the hilarious napkins, the beer kozy favors, the out-of-this-world centerpieces…
I have to say though, what really made me fall in love with this wedding were the bride and groom photos. Adding a Vespa, some balloons, a very cool sign, and, at one point, a couple of musicians, Alea Moore’s shots are little bit quirky, totally pretty and capture a couple that looks like they have a great time together.
Make sure to keep reading to hear Kristen’s advice to brides just getting started.
The most meaningful part of our wedding day was our first dance. My husband is a huge Metallica fan and really wanted our first dance to be to the song “Nothing Else Matters.” We found an instrumental version by Apacalytica and performed…
Remember awhile back when BLHDN, Anthropologie’s wedding line, launched and there was a collective squeal from the bridal community? Well, their newest collection is out and excellent blogger that I am I took a look for all of you. And then another look. And another. And, well, let’s just say that not much else has gotten done this morning as I have yet to come up for air.
Suffice to say, it is just as gorgeous and creative as their first collection. The soft, layered dresses, the elegant veils, the crowns. Oh my, the crowns! I am, as they say, in full-on swoon mode over here so I’ll stop talking so you can start looking. Please, tell me you love them as much as I do!

How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story:
Adam and I were both dating other people and met one night at my friend’s restaurant. We were hooked from that moment. We became each others’ other half…honestly…it’s an incredible feeling to know within minutes that this is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. I feel like we are twin souls…that we have known each other long before we met.
What was the theme | design inspiration for your wedding?
We are both “old souls”…with that said we were inspired to have a vintage looking wedding…we decided on the 50′s and 60′s style of Palm Springs as our inspiration. We really wanted…
