Happy Monday!  Welcome to another color week here on EAD. This week we are celebrating deep and moody indigo.  I couldn’t think of a more emotional and moving wedding to begin the week than that of Bahar and Nick.  After Nick was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the two decided they wanted to be together forever, even if their forever …

This hot and sunny weather – in March! – has me so excited for summer, and summer means fresh and bright color palettes!  St. Patrick’s Day had me feeling green (couldn’t resist), and this aqua, chartreuse, and kiwi inspiration board was born!  Even though the board is loaded with stripes and patterns, heavy use of clean white keeps it from …

It’s taken just about every bit of restraint I’ve got to keep myself from driving to the beach in this incredible weather. Anyone else with me on that? For now we’ll have to settle for living vicariously through this gorgeous nautical shoot from Brooke Roberts Photography. I can feel the breeze now on this glorious Jekyll Island wharf, and taste the …

After the 64 degree weather in Chicago this weekend, I think it’s safe to say spring is upon us!  And what better way to celebrate spring than with a light, airy, and elegant color palette befitting the season?  Pairing soft blue and dove gray with the palest of peach, this board is all about romantic details like flowing linens, fluffy …

There’s no better way to infuse personality into your wedding than by using your favorite bright, vivid colors!  Cobalt is one of my favorite hues – it’s strong and modern, and blue pairs so well with almost every shade of the rainbow.  Add a dash of fuchsia and you have a palette perfect for a playful, feisty couple!

I’m so excited about the return of glitz and glamour in weddings – give me some sparkle!  But glamorous weddings don’t have to be candelabra, flowing linens and crystals – it’s easy to have a modern, colorful, and fresh wedding that’s as glitzy as they come.  Pull in gold metallics and quartz, add some deep teal, and throw in little …

Lindsey and Michael were married at the beautiful Heavenly Scent Herb Farm in Fenton, Michigan. The gorgeous, sprawling grounds of the venue are filled with sweet smelling herbs and flowers and were a stunning backdrop to their romantic garden wedding. I’d absolutely love to spend an afternoon here! Kathy, the owner of the farm, also helped out by creating the beautiful …

I’m over the moon today to share Elise and Bill’s beyond gorgeous Michigan wedding!  Elise is the sister of my dear friend Natalie (the mastermind behind Pemberley Events), and her wedding was infused with so many charming handmade details and the most amazing organic, lush florals from Petal Play Design. The Blue Dress Barn in Benton Harbor, Michigan has such …

I simply love California weddings and this warm and colorful winery wedding is no exception! Healdsburg Country Gardens played a stunning backdrop to Austin and Brian’s big day. A sophisticated yet casual wedding, they decorated with gorgeous rose, dahlia, and freesia arrangements by Floral Designs by Heather Hendrickson. I love all the natural details they used such as the wooden apple baskets …

I absolutely love unique color palettes and Jenni’s blend of fall colors with her groom’s Scottish tartan is a breath of fresh air! It was such a warm wedding with lots of DIY details that perfectly blended both season and culture. Jenni and Bill both look gorgeous and positively giddy! Of course we love the romantic Nashville farm estate Cedarwood, …

I absolutely love when weddings are several days long – an extended celebration of friends, family, food, and all the memories being shared AND made! Chloe and Stephen’s wedding was held at Chloe’s parents house and friends and family were around all week helping to set up for the big day (including her grandmother who made all the pie crusts …

It’s destination wedding day on EAD today!  It has been very cold here so looking through photos of Jen and Brian’s tropical Puerto Rico wedding has been a real treat! Jen chose lightweight dresses from Loft in fresh shades of cool aqua blue as well as soft blush, coral, and cream flowers by Fleurish Events for her bridesmaids. She had her …
