Merrill-Ashley ♥ Tim

How brilliant is this engagement session! Im crazy over it! And best of all it was done DIY style! Lucky for Merrill-Ashley (bride-to-be) Tim Melideo (groom-to-be) is a photographer and with the help of a tripod...a vintage beach engagement session was born! I love the 50's beach vibe of them and of course it doesn't hurt that Merrill-Ashley (and Tim) run a cute vintage shop in LA, check out her blog for fab vintage finds. via GREEN WEDDING SHOES

Alissa ♥ Ryan

Absolutely my most favorite wedding of all time. Whimsical/Romantic/Bohemian/Organic and Heartfelt; just my cup of tea. And of course the talent behind all loveliness is a bundle-of-dream-come-true in itself JOSE VILLA photography, LISA VORCE {oh how charming} event planner, MINDY RICE florist...all too good to be true. Alex and I have been so inspired by all the little details (how could we not?) family style dinner, ribbons strung on chairs, family heirloom photograph centerpieces, vintage textiles basically my dream come true wedding. via STYLE ME PRETTY

a DIY wedding

I ♥ everything about this DIY faux-wedding. The hay bales used as ceremony benches, freshly baked pies, family heirloom photographs nailed into trees and a table full of antinque/vintage goodness. Im bananas over this. more here TEC PETAJA photography

DIY picture fence

I ♥ this wedding idea so much. I wish I had the full photo but I'd like to imagine these branches were planted in pretty rusted pots and that the photographs danced in the air.

i want/need/have to have this.
