Real Wedding Day Inspiration - Krista and Kevin

Happy Monday, dear readers! Are you ready to kick off your weekly inspiration with an amazing Do It Yourself Wedding? This week's installment of Real Wedding Day Inspiration will not disappoint. When I received this wedding from photographer Jodi Miller, I fell in love. The bride and groom, Krista and Kevin, are young and in love and it shows in the details of their wedding day celebration. I really like how warm and open it feels, very personal. Enjoy!

Krista is resplendent in her gown. Her smile is breath-taking.
A gorgeous bloom accentuates a soft up-do.
I really like her heart-shaped bouquet, soft and airy.
So loving Kevin's expression. Great shot, Jodi!

Gorgeous shot, very romantic.
Too cute

Talk About Making An Entrance

Happy Saturday, dear readers! A friend sent this video to me the other day and I had to share it. What I absolutely love about this couple is they took a standard element and flipped it, making their ceremony their own. Talk about personalization. Enjoy!

Every Princess Should Have A Suitable Crown

When it comes to your wedding, I absolutely believe you should be princess for a day. As such, every princess deserves a custom crown. One of my favorite shops, M&J Trimming has recently opened a bridal salon in New York, right in the fashion district fittingly enough. They offer a myriad of embellishments for everything from your gown to your veil and tiaras. Perfect for the DIY bride (or planner) with an artful eye. I use M&J regularly to give my designs that extra sparkle. Oh and they're having a sale on rhinestones this week. Time to stock up!
Loving the chandelier and chair treatments; very glam
