Real Wedding Inspiration- and the bride wore wellies?

How cute is this English wedding on the River Thames?  This wedding proves a rainy day is far from a bridal disaster! From the clear umbrellas to the combination of casual and dressy, I love it. Doesn’t the adorable Tracy Oshiro and Mary Ryan just make you smile?

And lets just take a moment for some awesome footwear.   Puddle jumping anyone?

Just a lovely wedding

I like to constantly check the websites of my Chicago Wedding Trifecta: photographer (emilia-jane), florist (Pistil & Vine), and wedding hair stylist (your stylist AJ) for wedding inspiration.  These ladies are such creative artists and I love to look at their work.  Thanks to them- I stumbled upon this wedding and just had to share it. I really don't have much to say about this, but boy does it take my breath away. I know I am not one for a traditional wedding, but hmmm-this wedding sure looks lovely! Maybe it is because the bride and groom are beautiful, or maybe the photographs are amazing, or maybe its the details on the dresses-or maybe.... I don't know, but sigh isn't is something! Just a beautiful wedding!

I love details, sometimes the subtly of the simple is so much more of a statement.  I saw these flowers from the dreamy Chicago florist Pistil & Vine and created this couple to go.  Why not start with the perfect bouquet!
