Real Wedding: New Orleans, Louisiana

Cam and Tom were married in beautiful New Orleans, in a Buddhist-Vietnamese at the Chua Bo De Temple. The couple were traditional attire for the wedding ceremony and then the bride changed into a Vera Wang dress and Christian Louboutin shoes for the reception. All of the decor and the florals were DIY projects completed by the bride - she clearly did a wonderful job! The team at Gresham Photography is behind all the beautiful images you see, and you can find many more on their blog.

Short Wedding Dresses

Absolutely adorable made to order dresses from Claire La Faye (and they're surprisingly affordable)! If you have the budget, these could even make great options for a second reception dress. {Found via Something Old, Something New}

Bridal Session Inspiraton

Lauren was married the week prior to this shoot, but because there wasn't ample time during their wedding day for photographer Kevin Keefer to capture a lot of couple and bridal portraits, they opted for another session after the wedding. When the time came, her new husband Aaron was called away unexpectedly which left Lauren with a bridal portrait session of her own. Kevin later called the shoot "For Aaron" which I think is so sweet. Lauren looks lovely in her Jenny Packham dress, and what a beautiful keepsake she has now!

Etheral Wedding Gowns

These beautiful wedding dresses from designer Maria Lucia Hohan and so lovely I can hardly stop looking at the photos! Each dress just seems more beautiful than the next, and the styling of the photos is just gorgeous. All the pictures were taken by The Cherry Blossom Girl, and you can see a lot more on her blog {found via Hello!Lucky}

Wedding Dresses Under $600

Nordstrom has been providing a pretty good selection of bridesmaids dresses online for awhile now, but a few days ago I was browsing through their official Wedding Shop and came across all these gorgeous bridal dresses. Would you believe that every single one of them is under $600? Most are certainly more on the casual side, but I think they're each just lovely! And actually, only two of the dresses pictured here are over $500, the rest are even below that. I love it when stores provide beautiful options for affordable prices!

Unique Wedding Dress

How amazing is this wedding look from Lanvin? It looks effortlessly chic and is so unique, plus (lets be honest, this is an important and often overlooked factor) it looks so comfortable! There are two separate pieces and you can get them each here and here. Love it.

Carol Hannah Wedding Collection

I wrote about my love for Carol Hannah a few months ago, so I am happy to report that her Wedding Collection has officially launched! Aside from these adorable bridal dresses, there are also several really great bridesmaid options (I shared most of them in my original post). I think the embroidered dress in the first picture is my favorite...what is yours? And equally as important - are you watching Project Runway this season??

Vintage Dior

Oh my...this dress is divine. I am not sure I've ever seen a dress more lovely. {Found via Dress, Design, Decor}

Winter Bridal Session

I am loving these winter bridal portraits from StoneBlue Productions. Doesn't the bride look so cozy out there in the snow? And of course, the boots are adorable. You can see more on StoneBlue's blog!
