Wonderful Whites!
Out of all the hundreds of cakes I have come across, these two have to be my all time favorites! They are both decorated with meringue. Aren't they so exquisite?

Summer Bliss

To celebrate that summer has (maybe) finally arrived here in Idaho, I thought I would share a few of my favorite summer ideas I've come across! WOW! Double WOW! is all I can say for this incredible entrance found at Martha Stewart Weddings (Fall '99)

This is incredible too! I love the rose-topped urns adorning the table of honor and the way they've dressed up this pavillion! Images found at Its a Jaime thing.com

& this... another big WOW! I love the simplicity of this. (okay, maybe not simple to DO, but simple as in nothing much else needed in this gorgeous setting) Very contemporary! Very cool! (sorry, I don't know where I came across this pic~If you do please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due!)

I know I've shared this one found at Style Me Pretty.com before... but it was just so cool and probably my all time favorite outdoor wedding idea, I had to share it again!

Mi Amore! Happy Anniversary!

Today is the 22 Anniversary of the day I married my sweetheart! Isn't he a hunk? Wow! Still in love after all this time! I'll love you forever, babe!

Wow! Styles and fashions have changed alot over the years! I wish I could get married all over again! I would definately hire an amazing photographer, for one!, yep, I would probably change A LOT of things about my wedding~ most everything except, of course, the wonderful man I married!!!! Thanks for the memories!

Simply Gorgeous!

This summer time wedding found at classicbride.blogspot.com is truly beautiful! This speaks to my more formal, classic side (the little bit I got from my dad, but which most often gets out voted by all my other tastes:) ), but at heart I truly love this look too! It's so rich and lovely!

The true beauty is in the attention to the little details. Doing so makes all the difference and makes a special event an extroardinary event! Isn't that chandelier incredible.

Ooooh, I love these flowers and pods. So great!~

I love the creative "vase" for these flowers. Like I said...Simply Gorgeous!

Modest doesn't have to mean boring!

I like the waist of this one! I think this is my niece's dress- It is so beautiful in real life!

This one is great too! I love the embroidery down the skirt!

All of the above pics are from -Totally Modest.com unless otherwise noted. Sorry no pics from some of the other modest dress websites, I couldn't get them to save in a bigger format- but check out Beautifully Modest.com, LatterdayBride.com, AFormalChoice.com, and Romanticgowns.com to name a few, for more gorgeous gowns! If you close to Rexburg, Idaho, Treasures Formal, Bridal & Tux & Circle of Love both have huge selections of beautiful gowns!

Real Weddings!

Magazines have nothing on the REAL THING! Here is a collection of real celebrations of real love which I will be adding to periodically, to give future brides tons of inspiration for their own wedding celebration.

I am looking for more fun, unique ideas, so email me pics of your big day and they might just make it on here!

I love this huge backdrop built to house the beautiful chandelier!

This couple found a great, fun way to convert a church gymnasium into a super chic atmosphere for their reception!~ a daunting task which they pulled off beautifully! I especially love the monogram and black painted frames of different sizes~ ribbon-hung from a suspended black rod! The cozy sitting area & lights strung above it all, creating a "false ceiling", are great additions too! This is a great mix of antiques & modern decor which bring out a lot of personality for a beautiful celebration!
