The Real Wedding this week is so feminine and pretty.  Meg Perotti did a most perfect job capturing Angela and Geoff’s sunny garden party wedding.  The couple wed at Vine Hill Winery and incorporated elements of Chinese tradition, like a tea ceremony to honor their parents. See more of the details and full story in the Real Wedding gallery.

Cappy Hotchkiss sent over these photos of Kelly and Matt’s very cute and colorful DIY wedding!  It was a backyard wedding in New Jersey… very laid-back and casual.  The couple wanted their wedding to be focused on love, fun, family, and the great outdoors.

The couple DIY’d most all aspects of the day, including the hand painted signs and vibrant invitations.  Doesn’t that cupcake tower look so cute? yummm…!

So much to share today! Where do I begin? Ok, so I finally posted my very first Fave Finds feature on Project Wedding — including a little giveaway of the coveted decollette pads! I am still stuck in heart season, apparently, because I keep finding adorable heart accessories like these wool heart ornaments.

Speaking of hearts, we are having a great deal in our invitations shop right about now! It’s called Buy More, Save More, which translates into 10% off purchases of $99, 15% off $149, or 20% off any purchase of $199 or more! Use this PW code and you are all set: PWM0111. My fave are these little personalized napkins.

Finally, while I was doing research for work (!), I discovered that the amazing Badgley Mischka sandals (perfect wedding shoes) are on sale at Bloomies for $95 ( regularly around $200!). They are sweet and comfy too!

I was so excited when I received this Real Wedding in my inbox.. After taking a peek at the photos, I realized that the groom was a friend of mine from my college days!  Gina and Mark are such a gorgeous couple.. and their city wedding was totally exquisite.  In fact, the bride did such an extraordinary job with planning all of the décor and details… her friends have begged her to help plan their weddings and she’s started up a little business- White City Weddings.  Clary Pfeiffer photographed a few portraits in film.. which I LOVE… but you can also see the full digital and film spread in our Real Weddings Gallery!
