Navy, Aqua, & Coral

Navy is a versatile color: dress it up, glam it up, make it modern, or as seen here, go casual by pairing navy with light aqua and vivid coral. A heavy dose of snowy white makes the palette seasonless and perfectly fresh!

Romantic + Elegant Wedding Inspiration

Oh how we love romance and elegance in a classic setting! Katelin Gallagher of Project Wedding worked with photographer Erich McVey to bring us this stunning collaboration at Historic Deepwood Estate in Salem, Oregon, where the beautiful Lazaro gowns take our breath away. A draped sheet featuring oversize calligraphy by Neither Snow is a gorgeous backdrop for outdoor vows, where bold blooms and berries by Petalos pop against the lush greenery. We love the attention to detail, too—from the velvet Midori ribbon wrapping the bouquet to the fabulous marble cake from Peter Corvallis Productions. And speaking of cake, we’re enamored with the off-center tiered dessert by Sugarhouse Cake—fun and fabulous! See it all in the gallery!

Welcome To The Weekend

This week at EAD was filled to the brim with gorgeous inspiration—we swooned over this romantic styled shoot and fell head-over-heels in love with our current color crush, berry pink. We also gushed over some of our favorite wedding blogs and just had to share a few things we loved from them!

What’s everyone up to this weekend? We hope it’s lovely in every way! xo

Hip Downtown LA Engagement Session

How adorable are Nicole and Joey? The newly engaged couple wanted to incorporate their love of music into their photo session with Brandon Kidd Photography, so they headed to the largest record store in the world—Amoeba Music in Los Angeles—to snap some fun shots before heading out to the streets of downtown for a few more pictures. We love the laid-back California vibe of this hip engagement session!

Classic Champagne + Purple Wedding

There’s something so very sweet about Victoria and Chris’ Richmond, Virginia wedding. Is it the bride’s handmade shawl — a gift from her sister — or the bridesmaids’ polka dotted dresses that have stolen our hearts? Both! Victoria and Chris tied the knot inside the classic The Manor House, then celebrated with an edible work of art by A Cake To Remember. We owe a big thank you to Laura Gordon Photography for sharing this sweet and simple beauty with us today!
