Our Two Favorite Ideas from 2012

We’re still putting the final touches on our makeover. While you hold your breath, here is a tiny last countdown: our two favorite ideas from 2012!

Our first favorite idea is from Sarah and John’s darling wedding designed by Jesi Haack Design and shot by Aaron Shintaku. The couple used The Wedding Party app which allows guests to upload and share their photos in one mobile platform. It’s a genius idea and we thought it was so fun it deserved favorite status. Oh. And we loved their fringe too. Knock it off, Jesi! Too good. See the rest here!

Our next favorite idea from 2012 is pretty simple–this classic throwback to metallic balloons at Beth and Jonathan’s wedding was such a chic (and affordable) way to make a huge statement without busting the budget. We love gold, giant letters, and a couple that knows how to party! You can see more of these fun images shot by Jacob Mariano if you head over here.

Matt and Lizzie’s wedding shot by Clary Photo is extra special because the groom (and his ring bearers) chose a traditional Scottish kilt. What makes the look even better are the darling flower girls in tutus and cardigans. There’s something about that unexpected combo that is so fun! See more of this gorgeous wedding here!

Next up is this east coast inspired bridal party. We particularly love the fabulous bravery of the gentlemen–what fun those colors turned out to be! The rest of Lauren and Ross’s wedding images shot by Lori Paladino can be checked out here.

We love bridal fashion so much, we couldn’t resist adding a favorite dress accessory from the year!

One of the reasons we love Eileen’s bridal look is this gorgeous ruffled caplet from Holly Stalder. Paired with her Sassi Holfdord gown from Gabriella New York it makes the perfect combo! See more of Trent Bailey’s images when you click here.
