Getting ready photos can be some of the most glamorous and lovely. Not as formal as bridal portraits, these photographs often capture a woman relaxed, glancing in the mirror, or having makeup applied. We love luxurious silk robes or lacey, feminine slips for these moments.

Embroidery, the age-old art of intricate stitching and threading, is making its way into wedding gowns, runways, and decor in a new, fresh way. Whether it’s flowery detailing on a gown or veil, gold stitching on a pair of stately loafers, or a bright, colorful bodice, we love the fine design of this tradition.

The tandem bike has had a resurgence in the past few years, and it’s no wonder: The bicycle for two is a sweet, simple symbol of love. Two people, moving together in sync, and heading toward a common destination. We love tandem bikes for engagement sessions, for an adorable bride and groom portrait session after the ceremony, or even for the getaway! Throw some gorgeous blooms in your basket and tie some ribbon to the seat, and you’ve got yourself a fairytale bicycle ride.

Devon and Dan celebrated their marriage at Farmington Country Club with their close friends and family! With a color palate of hot pink and navy blue, the bridesmaids and groomsmen dressed the part with pink dresses and navy ties… the ring bearer even carried a colorful ring pillow! From cocktails to the seated dinner reception custom pillows, furniture, and draping brought in the color scheme as well!

The heat has us dreaming of a Mediterranean vacation, and the cool color palette sounds like perfection. Aquamarine, cobalt, concrete, seafoam – we love these hue combinations paired with a breezy, relaxed event style. Think white lounge chairs and chaises for guests during cocktail hour and long cream bridesmaid gowns accessorized with blue gemstones.

Sarah Cramer of Cramer Photo truly captured the spunk and spirit of Ann and Drew during their engagement shoot in their current hometown of Staunton, Virginia. From a rusty old pickup truck to fields of wildflowers Ann and Drew skipped around their little town hand in hand displaying their love for one another. Easton is very excited for this lovely couples wedding in October!

The bold hues of summer continue this fall with saturated color blocking everywhere! We love the combination of two bold solids cozying up together. The key to not looking messy? Keep it tailored and avoid heavy makeup.
We think this modern trend lends itself well to wedding details, decor, even wedding party attire. Choose two strong colors, or three if they are within the same color family, and find places within your decor to align them in a striking way. Keep everything else neutral. Or incorporate the trend by choosing color blocked shoes, bridesmaid dresses, or paper goods.
