Ben the Groom’s most recent blog post: Wedding Recap
Ahh it’s so hard to pick just one! So I’ll pick two. My faves were definitely the retro rockabilly milkshake bar (because I’m a sucker for vintage) and dandelion wine because it was so incredibly innovative and inspired.
Urban Picnic! So adorable/chic!
What an honor to be in the top ten! Thank you to all the readers for supporting us. Keep the comments the coming – the competition is fierce! xo
Urban picnic!
California Bohemian- the colors and layout are amazing!
Milkshakes by Kellie Kano! :-)
They are all so interesting and inspiring, but the Retro Milkshake Bar is still my favorite! The theme is so unique and the attention to detail is amazing! Besides, the design team seems to have found a way to get a lot of bang for the buck – very refreshing to know you can have a great reception without spending a fortune. I get a sense of fun and whimsy looking at the pictures, and I really think this theme is something guests of all ages would enjoy.
Thrilled to be in the Top 10. Thank you for all your support!
Love California Bohemian, especially the setting and using vibrant colors that really have a chance to pop. Very eclectic, elegant, and laid back.
The milkshake bar gets my vote- so cute!
Melanie’s most recent blog post: what time is it summertime-
Loved the casual opulance of the “carribean art” shoot. The flowers were especially lush and yummy.
Urban Rooftop Picnic!
All of these are beautiful! Something about that urban picnic is pulling my strings! I love that it’s so modern but with some twinkle lights and candles at night, it can be so romantic!
Rustic Campsite wedding was by far my favorite. Super cool!!
Oh, these are all so gorgeous and picking a favorite is so entirely dependent on my mood. But, the one that tugs at my own personal wedding heartstrings most is the California Bohemian. I love the colors and the way they combined so many textures and we’re trying to achieve this perfect eclecticism too.

Caribbean art!
Although all of the entries are beautiful…
I would have to vote for “inspired by fabric” and not only because I was part of the team, but because it has so many elements that brides (not just industry professionals) can actually pull off!
They’re all so pretty and so unique, but the gorgeous lingerie shoot is just stunning!
I LOVE the “Inspired by Fabric” design!!
Let’s hear it for Dandelion Wine! I love it!
Wow! So excited to have our stylish bridal lingerie shoot be in the top 10! Thank you!

And by mammy, I mean many. Darn auto-correct.
I like the stylish lingerie the best. I love the details, with the beautiful garters and accessory suggestions. It was great to see so many options for an often overlooked part of the wedding day!
i LOVE the past to present concept.. timeless.
Love the Retro Rockabilly Milkshake Bar! It was so unique and adorable!

Becky’s most recent blog post: cousins Kalamazoo family photographer
Stylish bridal lingerie is my favorite! Absolutely gorgeous!
Hands down the milkshake bar! Gorgeous! I love the vintage look.
My favorite of all… Rooftop Picnic. Beautiful!!!
Inspired by fabric gets my vote! Delicious, peaceful, serene, cohesive, fun, and I could go on and on.
Personally, I don’t think it’s hard to choose at all. If you are looking to please the general public, it’s definitely” Inspired by Fabric”.
Love the stylish bridal lingerie. Very beautiful.
I’m voting for 80s retro high school love. You don’t see anything like this on the blogs, and it has lots of DIY inspirations that real brides can take away from it.
Bridal lingerie is the best!
Loved timeless vintage details. Especially all the diy
Past and Present!
Thanks for picking us as one of the top 10! It’s truly an honor.
The stylish bridal lingerie is properly named………….Kudus to the Garter Girl!
Love the lingerie concept. Beautiful styling.
Past to Present is my fav! It is sweet, simple, and makes me wish I could get married all over again.
These are all amazing! Some of them, I feel, look more like production scenery and less like something that could translate into a real wedding. For this reason, I really like past to present vintage detail.
Vintage is obviously a trend in itself, but the romantic feel of the fabrics and patterns in this pic are a unique spin on it.
My favorite is the Rooftop Picnic.
I love Past to Present: Timeless Vintage Details!!
Past to Present for sure. It’s beautiful and would definitely stand the test of time.
I absolutely LOVE the roof top picnic. It is so Clever, Chic, and a perfect idea for a summer wedding. The Hair and Makeup are amazing.
Retro milkshake shots by a mile.
Rooftop Picnic is timeless! I want this wedding!!
I loved the 1980′s high school sweethearts. It was adorable because it was a tribute to their meeting and growth as a couple. I’ve been with my high school sweetheart since Sophomore year and this wedding was definitely an inspiration that spoke to my heart!
Sarah’s most recent blog post: Fave Things – 071210
Past to Present! The details are gorgeous and timeless!!
Oh wow, these are all very beautiful! The PAST to PRESENT is simply amazing. It encompasses so much about weddings – we use the “old, new, borrow, blue” as brides. We give honor to those who have passed, family traditions, and incorporate who we are in today’s world. In my opinion, this style is the epitemy of what weddings are truly about.
Wow this is gorgeous! Kio Kreations really put together a beautiful presentation and details. Simply amazing!
So excited to be in the top ten! Thanks to all the readers and our cheerleaders for their support! All the submissions are beautiful :)

Love the rooftop idea, it was my favorite.
I like the backdrop for the Urban Picnic and I like the simplicity of the Modern Shoot. For details and usability my favorite is the Retro Milkshare bar. I just love the idea of it. How cool would it be to go to a wedding that had one of those?
The Urban Picnic is my favorite. Simple yet classy!
I’m stuck between dandelion wine and the california bohemian.
My favorite design is the retro inspired milkshake bar by Elissa Keno and Kellie Kano. It is not only unique and beautifully designed but fun, flirty, and can be easily applied by anyone for a special and memorable occasion.
They are all great but I really like the bridal lingerie concept.
really love the milkshake bar! it’s so cute and the set-up was creative and inspiring!
I love the milkshake bar. I haven’t seen something similar at a wedding before and I love the refrehing twist. Each detail from the delightful clothing to the milkshakes, candies, and appliances were so well thought out. Kellie Kano and Elissa Nicholsky did a great job, I think everyone would have a great time at a wedding like this.
