One of my favorite things about weddings is seeing couples make the day their own. Your wedding is a chance to show off your love, style, and personality with the people you love most!
Need a little inspiration? Here are some of my favorite wedding websites to help you get started!
Every Last Detail
Wedding planning can feel overwhelming! One useful tool to help the process is Pinterest! But what often happens is that the wedding board becomes a huge conglomeration of too many ideas and projects to pull off before the big day!
Make your pinning more productive by asking yourself these three questions as you browse:
Before you pin, ask yourself these three questions:
Does it match the style and feel you want for your day?
Can a friend or family member help? Or would it be better to hire a pro?
Would you rather make it, buy it, rent it, or hire someone to do it?
So relax, grab your favorite drink, and spend an afternoon creating a new board where you can re-pin those absolute favorite, achievable projects, the one or two pairs of shoes you’ve decided on, and anything else that you’ve been able to narrow down!
And if you’re sharing the board with any vendors, filling in the description boxes with exactly why you like that bouquet or how exactly you want to recreate that seating arrangement helps everyone to be on the same page!
Whatever you decide to do, remember that your wedding day is more than just being Pinterest perfect–it’s about celebrating the two of you and your new life together!
Rain or shine, Kelly & Landon were getting married! The date may not have been engraved yet in the rings, but everyone was coming, and they would leave officially as husband and wife. While a lot of plans changed, what was most important to them was saying their vows in front of their family and friends – something that could happen despite the weather. Thankfully the rain stopped long enough to run to a park and grab just a few pictures outside before it began pouring again! Now they’re off doing what they love to do, exploring nature together! See if you can guess where they’re headed by a custom decor piece they had displayed at their wedding…
While they chose not to see each other before the ceremony, they wanted a moment without others around to share private vows and pray together.
I’m getting used to praying for rain to stop when it comes to Kelly & Landon! God answered me again with a few minutes we could throw aside the umbrellas and go for it!

Each on their own had decided that marriage was not for them. What they hadn’t realized was that they had yet to meet their person, the one with whom each would be willing to step into that lifelong commitment! With that discovery they traveled from their home in Spain to California for a simple Lake Wildwood wedding! From handmade personalized gifts for each guest to an authentic Thai lunch reminiscent of Brooke’s childhood in the Thailand to a Spanish dance performance, Brooke and Manuel invited dear family and friends to celebrate with them! But to include those who couldn’t come, speeches and toasts from loved ones afar were shared so that everyone could be a part of the day!

Being new to the online dating app, Ryan didn’t realize setting up his account while house sitting would put his location in the area he was staying and not where he lived. Without that “mistake” he and Alexa would never have met and found their person in each other!
When Ryan didn’t propose in Paris, Alexa had no expectations for a ring during the rest of their European travels. Least of all in a boat on a lake in the Austrian Alps! While visiting his sister, they had rented a boat to enjoy the lake, when suddenly his sister jumped out and swam to shore! Being his best friend, she knew Ryan had been carrying a ring throughout their trip and was ready to propose to Alexa!
Alexa and Ryan wanted all their family and friends to be able to gather together under the trees in the mountains. Tahoe has been a special place for the two of them so a Harmony Ridge Lodge wedding in the forest was perfect to begin and celebrate their marriage!
