• As common as it is to have perfectly matching bridesmaids, same dresses and same shoes, some brides are adventurous enough to try a more eclectic approach. The nice thing about having mismatched bridesmaids is that there is a lot of room for adding personality and uniqueness, while still maintaing an overall cohesive look. It will also make for some very colorful and artistic photos! For a consistent feel, make sure you keep at least one factor similar across all the dresses. You could opt for the same color family and have each bridesmaid in a different shade of that color. Or you could have...

      Steve and Ellie wanted their wedding to be fun and relaxed yet filled with vintage, antique and handmade treasures to represent their personality in a mismatched way.

Well the couple Sami & Katherine are now getting married and who better to shoot their engagements at the amazingly bright Hirshhorn Museum (and upcoming wedding of course) than there friend Emily Porter? “Sami’s socks are always crazy and mismatched and he shares my love of short doses of things – TV shows instead of movies, short stories instead of novels. He loves jazz. And probably once every few months he’ll message me asking for my photoshop “expertise” in making some crazy graphic for a tshirt. On...

    Le sigh.…. i cannot tell you just how much i love this afternoon’s delightful wedding. Martin and Charlie were married back in August, on a beautiful summers day in a stunning barn venue.

Thanks so much to the amazing Brighton based wedding photographer, Ruby Roux Photography for sharing her gorgeous images today, here is what she had to say about the shoot; “The couple, Martin and Charlie, had...

  • Is it just us or does it seem that uniform bridesmaids dresses are a thing of the past? Brides (and bridesmaids!) seem to be saying “Au Revoir!” to matchy-matchy dresses and hello to fun, unique dresses that cater not only to the theme of the wedding, but to the bridesmaid herself! While some follow a color scheme, others are totally off-beat, and you know what? Tres chic! (Top left and clockwise: Snippet and Ink , Once Wed, Once Wed, Stay Sassy) Okay–so we totally know what you’re thinking right now–how in the world do you pull this off without making it look like a hot mess?
