Baby Got Back Wedding Dress Details | Keep it or Drop It for 2013? | Friday Frocks

Hello Lovelies!

Image Sources

In this edition of Friday Frocks we are asking the question. Drop it or Keep it to the drama back dress? In 2012 we have seen tons of this lovely back detailed wedding dress trend. What do you think of keeping it for 2013? I personally love the drama in the back. It gives your guest and the photographer something to look at as you are walking down the aisle and saying your vows ;) So I say keep it. Would you keep it?

A Real Wedding in New York | New Year New Weddings! | Don & Laura's New York Vineyard Wedding

Happy New Year Lovelies!

Hope you enjoyed your New Year and holiday celebrations! And a HUGE congrats to all of you who are newly engaged and said I DO! Please share your story with us I would love to hear the details. And if you have picts send them into :)

Ok, lets start the new year with this beautiful wedding submitted by the very talented Roberto Falck Photography.

Here is more from Roberto: Don and Laura met in 1995. Don attended graduate school with Laura's best friend, Sara, who insisted that Laura fly to California to meet Don during her Spring break. There was an immediate connection and though they were separated by an entire country, they got to know each other the long distance. Over the many years, they remained close friends, sometimes dating, when not separated by distance, until finally making the commitment to be together forever. They feel as if they've grown up together and are truly family. Despite their very divergent interests (e.g., technology versus nature), at their core they share a common set of values that binds them together. Raphael Vineyard was the ideal choice for Laura and Don, who knew they wanted an outdoor venue with a warm and inviting feeling for their guests. They searched far and wide - from synagogues, to restaurants, to botanical gardens, farms, and museums, before walking into Raphael and immediately realizing its perfect fit for them. Subsequently, they set about the task of planning a wedding that reflected who they are as individuals and as a couple. It was important to capture the day on film and video and to offer guests, many of whom traveled from very far to share the experience with them, a weekend of laughter, comfort, and quality time with the couple. More than anything, Laura and Don looked forward to a future of togetherness, filled with love, good health, and new adventures.

The Real Wedding of Lynette & Omar | Destination Wedding in Mexico | Plus I hope the world doesn't end

Hello Lovelies!

Well today do I have a beauty for you! This real wedding in Mexico was submitted by Alea Lovely Fine Art Photographer and I am just in love with the light and airiness of the pictures. I thought it oh so  appropriate with the world coming to an end and all because of the Mayan predictions ;) Plus the bride in this wedding also had it in mind when she picked her gorgeous locale.

Here is more from the bride herself: It was really important for me to choose a place that definitely had abundant natural beauty and spiritual energy, and then Tulum popped up in my online searches. It was the perfect location because we were getting married in 2012 (for those of you who know about Mayan Prophecy and the upcoming “shift in consciousness”). The name of the house we rented was Casa Chic. Loved the place because it was rustic and natural but modern and glam all at the same time.I found a reputable wedding planner in the area, Leanne Marie Weddings, who had a lovely local assistant, Maju, and a network of vendors and contacts in the Riviera Maya. We couldn’t have done without these ladies, the vendors and services they all brought together was outstanding! My dress was flowy and light -a stark contrast to my stunning, albeit heavily beaded and just plain HEAVY dress from the family wedding. I had a lot of fun picking out statement accessories for a simple canvas. I felt lucky that I got to meet many great women at bridal stores with lots of style because they connected me with a lot of designers and ideas for inspiration. It felt special to top off my look with my mom’s diamond and pearl earrings. I just felt like a goddess that day, which is exactly how I wanted to feel on my wedding day! When Omar saw me for the first time in my gown and finished look he said, “This is exactly how I pictured you to look on our wedding day”. We were surrounded by 20 of our dearest friends, who have come into our lives over the last 10 years of our “dating” relationship, many of whom were special to us before we even met. It felt incredible to have everyone there, having a blast, dancing, eating amazing food, enjoying the stunning ocean, the sound of the waves, great music, celebrating our love, and enjoying the present moment. And Alea Lovely was there to capture it all!
