Consider this week’s real wedding a mini vacation you can take right at your desk! Amy and Kenn got hitched this past December in stunning St. John. They said ‘I do’ against a backdrop of clear blue water and lush island greenery, and we love the way they let the easy-going nature of the locale dictate a similar vibe for their nuptials. From Amy’s beachy updo to bridesmaids in mismatched dresses and sunnies, the details in this couple’s big day are sure to delight! Thanks to Carina Skrobecki for sharing the photos with us—you can see even more shots in the full gallery.

It’s only Tuesday and I already feel completely spoiled with farm-inspired beauty.  Tyler and Kira married this past June at a spacious private estate in Charlottesville, Virginia. They envisioned a simple, elegant day adorned with fresh herbs and seasonal blossoms in a palette of French blue, violet, green, yellow, and cream. Although these pure and positively lovely photos by Elisa B Photography make everything look effortless, the weather that day provided plenty of drama…

Charlottesville and the surrounding area experienced massive winds and heavy storms the night before.  Kira says, ‘We woke up to a wedding day with no power and roadways blocked by storm-ravaged trees. Tyler, his groomsmen, and friends worked for hours to cut down trees so that guests could access the reception venue! The entire event ran off of three generators (just barely, but it worked). Even the hair stylist had to improvise due to no electricity!’

Floral and event designer, Beehive Events, described the day as ‘dressed up rustic’ and the fresh palette couldn’t have been more charming or fitting of an East Coast farm-style wedding.  I’m perfectly smitten with those wild, organic centerpieces! 

After a morning of unexpected events and a sweet ceremony, the couple celebrated with their guests under a dream tent on the lush Virginia landscape.

Super big congratulations to Tyler & Kira!

These simple and pretty favors are easy to create, with a few craft store boxes and some acrylic paint! We made them for a modern, minimalist style wedding, but use your imagination and add colors and candy to match your own style and color theme. Each box costs approximately $0.50.

You will need:

Kraft paper boxes

acrylic paint

paintbrush

box filler

candy in the same color as the paint

wax twine

Directions:

1. Paint either the lid or the bottom of the box. You can switch off to make it fun!

2. Let dry for about 20 minutes. Ours needed two coats.

3. Once the two coats are dry, fill the boxes with paper filler and candy.

4. Tie with waxed twine!

5. Display at each place setting for your guest to take home.

In the midst of summer, I’m going thru a little season envy right now… (Ya know, I start to think about my winter wardrobe and how nice it would be to pull out sweater.. in the middle of winter I miss all my summer dresses).  I decided to cure that by featuring this rustic, intimate winter cabin wedding!  Alison and Andrew held their DIY-style day in the small patch of rural bliss called Smithers, British Columbia.  Enjoy the sweet and simple styling!
