Danielle and Patrick's wedding was featured back in 2010 but I couldn't help posting it again, given the time of year and the bride's timeless sense of style. Happy New Year, y'all!

classic irish manor wedding

We were so excited to receive this gorgeous wedding submission from Solas Weddings! Jacqueline and Ricky’s classic Irish manor wedding celebration was a beautiful juxtaposition of modern glamour and natural splendor. The sensuous palette of fallen fruit, centuries old stone, and good old fashioned revelry (not to mention that adorable tiny Spider Man) makes this easily one of our favorite weddings of 2011 - The bride looked absolutely exquisite in her lace illusion neckline Ciara Bridal gown, which she tastefully paired with a white fur stole and birdcage veil by Stacey Hannan Designs for a lavish dose of vintage glam.

I started reading Arielle's blog, A Beautiful Journey, just after my son was born. Arielle's point of view on love, life and motherhood are so refreshingly honest and heart warming, and her photographs are the visual equivalency of steaming cup of hot coca on a cold winter's night. Case in point, this wooded Kentucky engagement session which Arielle was kind enough to share with us.

There once was a dashing young man named Hayden who wanted nothing more than to propose to his longtime love, Julie. Being the thoughtful and oh-so-sensitive guy that he is, Hayden crafted a proposal story based upon Julie's favorite series, Sex and the City. Together with Sarah and Mariann of Blue Daisy Weddings, the day unfolded in a series of unforgettable iconic moments.

Wedding planning is a hectic, and even hellish time for all brides - but add to the pyre the stress of making your own wedding dress by hand? Plus five bridesmaid dresses? It’s a trial few brides could withstand. But sew-happy Portland bride Suzannah was determined to create her perfect dress piece-by-piece. The result: this gray tulle daydream!

Amazing, isn't it? Ralph Lauren can now be credited with crafting two of this year's most stunning wedding gowns. The first, for daughter Dylan, was a silk tulle-and-duchess satin dress with the mermaid hem. (Notably not strapless.) And now this.

Mesmerising doesn't even begin to describe how we feel about this black and white bridal fashion shoot by Josh Zuckerman. Inspired by the work of photographer John Goodman, whose series Boxers and Ballerinas explored the intuitive movement of the body, the images Josh created here are equally as stirring.

a tropical-themed military wedding

Katie and Kyle dated for five years, two of them long distance, before tying the knot in San Clemente this past summer. But as we all know, it's not the location that creates a memorable military wedding, it's the uniform. The groom looked his best in his United States Marine Corps Officer Dress Blues uniform, a look that can't be outdone by even the most stylish black tuxedo. Meanwhile, Katie stole the spotlight, as every bride should, in a knockout strapless wedding gown. As a handmade touch, the bride's mother-in-law crafted a beaded crystal belt that took this popular Pronovias gown from pretty to positively unforgettable. Just look.

Every girl dreams of being on the runway, and that’s exactly where this couple's first class day after photo shoot by Kristyn Hogan was held. This vintage airport photo session combined the couple's love for travel (the groom and his award-winning vocal play group are currently on tour with Michael Buble) and all things elegant. Their wedding, held at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame, was recently featured in the latest issue of Munaluchi Bride.

bridal alternative: rock the dress photo shoots

Anne-Marie — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:44:42 +0000

While some brides relish in the opportunity to “trash the dress”, we prefer this more stylised “rock the dress” photo shoot from photographer Ryan Farr. There are no muddy fields or murky ponds, just an Ontario junkyard at dawn, and an adventurous bride named Claire who was willing to take more risks with her Galina Signature gown post-wedding.
