Adam & Eve: A slow, dreamy wedding video.

And now presenting. . . wedding dresses by Jason Wu. Swoon. 

Pretty pink silhouettes.  There's something very trashy Miami, and yet very chic, about these invitations.

Totally amazing paper cut-outs.  Julene is seriously talented!

Not exactly wedding-related, but who isn't curious about the design process behind Natalie Portman's Black Swan costumes?   

Every detail of this Alabama wedding is laid-back and luxurious. We're digging the rich colors and country feel. 

Classic, heirloom-inspired pieces. Delicate enough to let the dress take precendence, versatile enough to wear long after the big day, and just the right amount of sparkle. If we had to create a jewelry wish-list for the Washington bride, these would all be non-negotiables.  Lucky for us local jewelry designer Michelle Guest is about to be married—her new bridal line is right on track with every item on the aforementioned list.

FLORAL FASCINATORS

Yes, we know we're obsessed with the concept and recommend it every chance we get. But nothing says "girly" quite like flowers in the hair, and nothing says "stylish" quite like the options from Mignonne Handmade.  Designed by two gals from Pheonix, these hand-sewn cotton headbands are the definition of modern vintage romance.  

DOWNLOADABLE WEDDING SPEECH BINGO

Wedding toasts are always heart-warming and (mostly) well-intentioned. But, they also tend to go on and on (and on and on and on) about very similar topics.  So why not make a game of keeping track? Irish wedding blog One Fab Day is offering a genius wedding speech bingo game, complete with rules, playing cards, and instructions. If there was ever a better way to keep kids, and kids at heart, actively engaged in all that talking, we've yet to come across it.

TOSSING THE BOUQUET

Group shots at weddings are an absolute must—what better way to remember your besties on the big day? But, having your bridesmaids fake smile in the same standing-still pose for multiple shutters doesn't do anybody any favors. Instead, mix things up with a few staged action shots, like this adorable bride tossing her bouquet.  It might seem campy at first, but your girls are guaranteed to appreciate the break, and you're guaranteed to have some fun visual memories.  Ah, don't you love it when everybody wins?  

TIMBERWOOD ESCORT DISPLAY

Here's a wonderfully wintry display idea—instead of tacking your seating arrangement to a boring old bulletin board, round up the night's firewood and use it as the backdrop instead.  Guests will be thinking cozy thoughts all night long.
