GORGEOUS WEDDING SHOOT INSPIRED BY DIA DE LOS MUERTOS

I hope you all had a great Halloween! If you recognize Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) you might still be celebrating. The Mexican holiday, which officially ends today, inspired this gorgeous photo shoot from North Carolina's Wild Love Grows. I love the combination of colorful soft flowers with the prickly cacti; the deep jewel tones and the white lace. Feast your eyes on all the lovely details!

WEDDING BURSTING WITH FALL COLORS

This couple was inspired by their favorite season to come up with the perfect look for their wedding. They used crimson red, burnt orange and sunset yellow to create a beautiful "fall oasis in the desert" theme for their Arizona wedding. The reception decor was a family effort led by the bride's mom, who transformed the courtyard into a chic, fall garden party. There is so much inspiration in this eclectic setup, from the colors to the flowers to the pie bar. (Hello Thanksgiving!) Thanks to Arizona photographer Pure in Art for sharing the yummy and lovely details with us.

FAIRYTALE ELEGANCE IN THIS ALICE IN WONDERLAND SHOOT

Whimsical meets fairytale elegance with a sprinkle of madness in this styled shoot submitted by Ontario, Canada photographer Audrey Mills.  As you peruse the amazing picturesque details put together by White Rabbit Events, you'll notice the efforts made to incorporate something old, something new, and something blue into the decor. There is so much to revel in and be inspired by in this tea party that would even make the Mad Hatter proud! The myriad of vintage tea cups, books and candles playfully strewn across the table, the themed cookies on each plate setting; the vintage furniture I wish I owned, and so much more!

LOVELY HANDMADE WEDDING

This wedding made me realize how much I appreciate the simple task of putting pen to paper–especially in this digital age. This couple did it in two places: on some of their signage integrated into their decor and asking guests to leave their wishes on kraft paper. And let's talk about that! What a great keepsake for the couple. This idea could easily apply to a graduation or retirement party. So fun and personal. Thanks to Indiana photographer, Victoria Rayburn Photography, for sharing the photos and ideas!
