Punk Rock Love from Utterly Engaged

Utterly Engaged has just released it's 6th issue! The Punk Rock Wedding Style section is incredible! Here are just a few of my favorite images from this issue...
Rockin' gowns at rockin' prices:

and rockin' flowers that will blow you away:All of the images are so inspiring and I'm especially enthralled by these incredible florals! The feathers are perfectly placed and the use of unique blooms accentuate the offbeat quality of the bride who would carry them. Absolutely gorgeous...

The rest of the newest Utterly Engaged issue is amazing as well. Look through the entire e-zine for oodles of inspiration.

Amazing Ansel Adams Inspired Engagement Shoot!

With a groom who is a photographer, the sky is the limit. And this groom had a specific inspiration in mind for his engagement photos: Ansel Adams. They flew their photographer to Yosemite National Park and had an engagement session unlike any I've ever seen before. These engagement photos literally left me breathless...
and my favorite of the bunch...
This photo could be artwork on anyone's wall. I am completely in love with this shoot! Amazing...

Simple, Sweet, and Stunning!

Choosing your wedding cake design can be difficult. It is theoretically the centerpiece of your reception and you want it to represent your style and the design of your wedding.
Lately, I am loving smaller wedding cakes. You can save a significant amount of money if you choose a small cake to cut and have sheet cakes in the kitchen to be cut for your guests. Or, if you're like me and you just like the small size, why not have 3 smaller cakes displayed on beautiful pedestals?
Perfect for any time of year, this cake, featured in InStyle Weddings, is absolutely beautiful! The sugar lily of the valley bouquet is perfection - taking this take from plain to wedding worthy.
