…We now return for the thrilling conclusion of “How to find a wedding venue in 7 months!”

If I were to give you all the details on every place we researched, contacted, obtained proposals from, and visited, this blog would go on forever and the only remaining readers would be zombies. So, we’ll just cut to the chase, shall we?

For a long while, I had ruled out restaurants because of our desire to marry outdoors. But desperate times called for desperate measures and we figured that we could always do an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception if we found the right place. So, I hit up the ol’ internets with fresh eyes, and there it was… a beautiful gem had been right under my nose all along.

We have a stunning one for you today.  James and Glenn tied the knot in a gorgeous Florida affair, photographed by Shari Bare and orchestrated by Kelly McWilliams - what a team!  On top of that, James is an interior designer, so as you can imagine, not a detail was left unfinished.

The setting - South Seas Resort on Captiva Island, FL:

Ellen and Caro were married at one of my favorite venues, the Viceroy in Palm Springs, and if that weren’t enough, they had the positively drool-worthy Next Exit Photography there to capture the day.  The Viceroy is black and white and yellow all over and so was this wedding!

Check out our stylish couple:

From the minute we got engaged, Hunter had fantasies of us marrying in Mexico. After all, we loves us some margaritas and mexican food! (Did someone say melty cheese? Yes, please!) And Mexico is only a 2.5 hour drive from home sweet home. I wasn’t really into the idea, but after the disappointments we had in seeking a venue in the US, our attentions turned south, and we made plans to visit Rosarito Mexico. Rosarito is just 45 minutes south of the border, and known for its nice beaches and for being where all the stars from Hollywood came to drink during prohibition. Random fact: Titanic was filmed here. They even have a museum commemorating this honor.

Jesus blesses the margarita drinkers

We have all been so fortunate over the past year to follow Robin’s journey to the altar on her blog, Chitown Bride.  So we are absolutely *thrilled* to showcase her beautiful wedding and the photography by Studio This Is on Elizabeth Anne Designs!

Robin and Andrew were married at Meyer’s Castle in Dyer, IN.  There were actually three stars of this show though!  The peacocks, apparently abundant at Meyer’s Castle, decided to make many many appearances (read Robin’s hilarious peacock account here).

Alexa from Fiore Blossoms sent over these gorgeous images from a recent Seattle wedding. How gorgeous is the bride’s bouquet?

I am loving the lush feeling of this wedding. The venue, the Sunset Club in Seattle, has murals and antique chandeliers. Perfect for this vintage wedding. Check out more images (including a pic of the bride in feathers and fur) on Alexa’s blog!

Shannon from Steeves Photography contacted us about a wedding they recently shot. What do you get when you cross a Jamaican bride with an Italian groom? A stunning wedding in Venice!
