Martha Stewart Weddings, Spring 2011

The Spring 2011 issue of Martha Weddings is almost here, and we are thrilled to share a quick peek at what’s in store. With a title like “Fringe Benefits,” our minds were running wild with the possibilities for beautiful details, and Martha’s team totally delivered. They worked with Julie and Nick of Confetti System to explore fringed decor, including bouquets, stationery, cake, escort and seating cards, favors, and even a photo booth backdrop.

Take a peek below and be sure to grab the new issue to see all their incredible ideas!

Thanks for sharing, MSW team! photos by: Con Poulos

Carnival engagement sesh

categories Engagements

Few things in life are as fun, colorful, and sweet as a carnival, which makes it such a great spot for an engagement sesh. Shannen Norman captured this one just beautifully – turns out ferris wheels, cotton candy, fresh squeezed lemonade, carnival games and striped tents look even better with a gorgeous sunset.

Now that’s magical. Love it!

A simple, lovely wedding

categories Real Weddings

The beautiful wedding we’re sharing today was shot by photographer Samm Blake. The overall concept of the wedding was to keep it simple and fun and celebrate the love shared by the bride and groom, who have known each other for ELEVEN years! That seems like forever today, doesn’t it? One look at these gorgeous photos and you can really tell how much they love each other, and also, how undeniably stylish they are.

The color theme was black, orange, and green – such a unique combo!

They are a terribly stylish duo, wouldn’t you say? Love the detail on her short gown and his bold orange shirt. And check out that amazing banyan tree in the background..the scale is magnificent!

Big doesn’t always equal best – just a few of these stunning blooms made for an enormously lovely bouquet!

The bride’s emerald green reception gown is absolutely gorgeous on her – we love the surprise pop of color.

Simply exquisite! Amazing job done by all, huge congrats to the happy couple.

Cheerful travel invites by Oh Joy!

categories Pretty Paper

One of our most favorite bloggers, Oh Joy, has a new super cute travel-inspired invite design with Wedding Paper Divas. We love the textured paper and modern take on vintage stamps. Plus, the invites come in two pretty color combos, a bright and a neutral. To complete the look, you must adorn your envelopes with actual vintage postage stamps (obviously). Joy found these below through The Postage Service. You can also read our post on vintage stamps for more info!
