Lauren and Tony’s Eco-Friendly Rustic Wedding by Jenna Walker Photography

Happy Tuesday! Here is a little flashback to an awesome autumn wedding we featured several months ago by Jenna Walker Photography!

It wasn’t too long ago that we featured a mountain wedding, but when Lauren and Tony’s wedding by Jenna Walker Photography came across my desk I knew that I had to share it. Whereas Katie and Nick’s wedding was all about classic detailing, Lauren and Tony’s has a sense of rustic elegance that perfectly fits the wide-open spaces of their venue. (Full editorial disclosure: An owner of Devil’s Thumb Ranch is an investor in mywedding.com).

From Lauren’s lovingly worn cowboy boots, to their sunflower centerpieces in wooden boxes, to their…

A Mountainous, Lakeside Engagement Session by Perpixel Photography

Happy Monday morning! There is nothing I like better than starting off the week with a cup of coffee, a lovely engagement session and all of you. And today’s shoot by Perpixel Photography has just the right amount of lakeside relaxation to ease us into the week; I feel like I should make the first photo into my screensaver as a reminder of what summer at the lake (with the one you love, of course) feels like…

And Frank and Caroline are such a sweet couple. They look laid-back and relaxed – like they just happened to be hanging out at their favorite locale when Perpixel decided to snap a series of shots of them. What a…

An Easygoing, Outdoor Engagement Shoot from Dawn Sparks Photography

There’s nothing like a gorgeous, outdoor engagement session featuring an adorable couple to get you through Hump Day and into the rest of the week, don’t you agree? In this case, Megan and Craig, captured beautifully by Dawn Sparks, are the fresh-faced couple who will lead us there…

Shot just outside of Denver, the session looks…easy. Like they’re a couple who is completely comfortable with their surroundings and with each other. Nothing feels forced – it’s simply the two of them, a couple of excellent wardrobe changes and a brief interlude where they decide to toss around a paper airplane. Just a very cool couple, out enjoying the day and beautiful scenery with one another. Gorgeous.

Get Married Outside! Our Favorite Outdoor Venues

Maybe it’s because it’s been raining here for the past few days, but all I can think about is going outdoors and enjoying the sun. And there is no better time to head outside and let Mother Nature work her magic than on your wedding day.

I’ve put together a few of my favorite outdoor wedding venues, but I’m sure I’ve missed a bunch! Let me know what I missed or if you’re planning an outdoor wedding in the comments section.

Beach: Of course, at the top of our list has to be beach weddings (okay, maybe I’m a teensy bit partial because that’s where I got hitched). There is something so romantic about waves crashing onto a sandy beach…

7 Places to Get Hitched that You Might Not Have Considered

Choosing your venue is one of the first, big choices you’ll have to make and it dictates a lot of your decisions down the road – number of guests, time of day, even the style of your wedding – so you want to be sure it is an excellent match. We’re thinking you have a pretty good idea of the usual suspects (and you can always check out our vendor guides for more ideas) so we’ve put together a list of venues you may not have thought of, to open the playing field a bit as it were.

Gourmet Popcorn Favors from Too Haute Cowgirls

Okay, I know it is bright and early here (let’s just say I’m still working on my first cup of coffee), but somehow that doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the fact that I’m absolutely obsessing about how to get my hands on some of this popcorn. Because, dear readers, I know just how good it really tastes; the Too Haute Cowgirls were kind enough to bring samples by the mywedding office at one point, and I had to very politely sit on my hands in order to not shove the entire bag into my mouth (I don’t think I was the only one).

My personal favorite is their best-selling Fistful of Fleur de Sel,…

Janet and Michael’s Destination Wedding in Ravello, Italy

There are some weddings where one aspect stands out and calls for all of your attention; for Janet and Michael’s destination wedding, that would be the location. Beautifully photographed by Jules Photography the shots capture the versatility of the Italian countryside – the mountains, lush greenery and sweeping views of the ocean (it doesn’t hurt either that Janet and Michael take absolutely stunning photographs).

Janet worked with the historical elements of their locale (the hotel where they were married is from the 11th century!) creating details that had a classic feel for an overall romantic effect. Be sure to read more about her thoughts and how they chose their location after the photos.

Katie and Nick’s Elegant Colorado Mountain Wedding

I need to get it out on the table that when it comes to this wedding, I am totally, completely biased. I adore this wedding; when I look at the photos love and fun, not to mention an insanely gorgeous bride, absolutely leap off the screen. You see, this wedding is our Director of Digital Media’s and I was privileged to witness the details firsthand. The amazing floral arrangements, the table names that highlighted places the couple visited together, the unbelievable setting – it was a quintessential Colorado wedding with a grace and elegance that is 100% Katie.

And just so you don’t get scared by the crazy people that crashed her Photo Booth – yes, that’s me and my husband valiantly…
