It doesn’t take much to be inspired by Greece. The landscapes are breathtaking, the lifestyle is one we’d adopt in a heartbeat, and the food is amazing. If the idea of getting married or eloping to Greece sounds like a dream that can’t quite happen because of budget restrictions, no worries. Reg Campbell has always been intrigued with Greece and Greek mythology and wanted to do a shoot like this for sometime now. It is a editorial showcasing the way a small Greece elopement could look on the bank of a river. Check it out. It’s definitely something you could pull off!

Vintage outdoor Georgia wedding: Johanna + Josh

We’d all love to have a wedding modeled after one of our favorite stores, no? We’re sure one of those stores, for most of you (us included), would be Anthropologie, right? Well, Johanna’s wedding was heavily influenced by just that lovely store. With food stations serving southern comfort food from her youth, a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and candle lit mason jars, she wanted to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. A brooch bouquet, chalkboards with poetry, and a table of family wedding photos through the generations, were a few of the details that made the evening truly unique. And the photos by Jeremy Harwell made it all the more beautiful.

Always a fan of the brooch bridal bouquet, especially knowing that she used brooches from her mother and grandmother.

diy diller heels | 100 Layer Cake

A few weeks ago we shared this glitzy little DIY video with the readers over on Lauren Conrad’s site and thought it’d be perfect to share it here… in case you have yet to see The Great Gatsby and want to glam up a pair of heels just in time for a girls night out at the movies. Or you could just want to bedazzle your wedding shoes. That’s okay too. They’re crazy easy to make and we swear, you may even start doing this to other shoes in your closet (maybe some cute flats?). Anywho, have fun with this one!
