Elegant + woodsy = pure romance, and that’s exactly what we have here this afternoon in this shoot inspired by the one and only Snow White. April Foster Events and The Empty Vase teamed up to create a tablescape filled with decadent red, elegant gold, and natural moss elements that is exactly what I imagine if Ms. White was able to sneak …

What I wouldn’t have given to be a part of this “little white dress” inspired shoot by Urbane Montage Events! The flowers, the colors, the dresses, the shoes, the accessories—I truly can’t handle it. The peachy melon and aqua color palette is my absolute favorite and the bouquets by Munster Rose are to die for. The little white dresses from Flutter Boutique …

Did everyone do something fun for Cinco de Mayo? If not, this stunning shoot photographed by Camilla Binks will inspire a belated fiesta!

The Kentucky Derby is only a few days away and although the event has absolutely nothing to do with weddings, I’m incredibly inspired by its details. Three in particular really stand out to me: the trophy, red roses, and the bourbon!

Goodness gracious, where did April go? I’m already finding myself looking at May as I make plans and am getting very excited for these April showers to turn into May flowers! Another fun thing to think about are May Day celebrations around a May Pole with all the colorful ribbons and flowers! How fun would that be as inspiration for …

Aside from pretty linens, a nice menu, or maybe a small flower, I’m always keeping my eyes open for more ways add interest to place settings. Something I’ve really liked recently is the idea of small baguettes, wrapped in pretty paper and twine. Either by placing a pretty basket filled with individually wrapped loaves along with the centerpieces, including an …

I absolutely adore lavender—its color, smell, texture—so of course I love seeing it used in weddings! Wherever it’s used, its wonderful fragrance will surely add an extra dimension to the day. Even better that it’s known to be relaxing too! Who wouldn’t want a bit more relaxation on their wedding day?

I’m so excited to share today’s shoot with you. Not only was it inspired by the oh-so-popular Hunger Games Trilogy, but it’s absolutely gorgeous whether you read the books or not. Naturally Yours Events combined both rustic and very glamorous details, symbolizing the contrasts that occurred throughout the series. Rich foods and exotic flowers reflect the extravagance of a feast …

In addition to colorblocking which we talked about last week, another detail I’m loving this spring are all the fun and girly floral patterns in shoes, accessories, and clothing. We’ve featured a few weddings with bridesmaids in floral dresses here at EAD, so let’s take a look at them as well as some other ways to incorporate this fabulous trend.
