Fireworks as a grand finale to your wedding can make your most memorable day even grander.... |
As told by the bride… “Olivier and I met at a polo lesson nearby London in April 2007. We both love horse riding so our wedding invitation was a drawing from artist Jean Clerté who featured us riding the same horse and crossing a bull (Olivier’s dad is from Argentina so it was a reference to the gauchos and la Pampa). We got married at the house of my parents which has been in the family for centuries so it is a place with a lot of emotional meaning. I was initially going to go for a modern dress by Oscar de la Renta and as the wedding preparation was taking shape I realized it made mo... |

“It may rain”….”One of the groom’s men is not here yet”……”The bridesmaids dress does not fit”…..because she got pregnant, and “the reception location does not have AC and it’s predicted to be 98 degrees”. These are just a small sample of frantic thoughts, I hear verbalized by brides and grooms before their wedding so, how do I answer each couple? “The show must go on!” I make every effort to point out to each couple that neither weather, guests, or any other obstacle they may fear, will prevent them from getting married (with exception to the extraordinary, a... |
I suppose this post is a bit of a vent and a conversation in my head about where I can actually cut costs for my wedding and where I would regret it later.

“Being someone’s first love may be great, but to be their last is beyond perfect.” – Unknown This was one of last week’s love quotes of the day. My heart kind of melted all around it. And I thought it really embodied exactly what we’re all about at Heart Love Weddings. Last loves. Because the love of your life, the one you marry .. is your last love. That’s the love story we can’t wait to tell each and every week. The perfect stories we’ve told all year and the ones we can’t wait to tell next year .. and the year after that .. and the year after that. Photo by Blue Lan... |
It’s no secret that we love inspiration boards around here! And we created some real beauties this year! So many, that it was really, really hard for us to choose our favorites. So, instead, we took into account your opinion. We looked at each of our inspiration boards, the number of pageviews, comments and repins they received. So, without further ado and in no particular order, the most memorable inspiration boards of 2011 (as chosen by you)! {Take Me Out to a Baseball Themed Wedding} For the baseball loving bride and groom! {Rustic Fall Red Wedding} Distinctly rustic, with a subtle back... |
What a wedding is and what a wedding needs are two very different things. What is a wedding you ask? Simply put, a wedding is love. No other day is entirely devoted to two hearts becoming one. (That only happens once you know.) So what then, does a wedding need? Besides a wildly in love bride and groom, a wedding, of course, needs details! Simple or lavish, romantic or glamorous, rustic or vintage, the cake, the colors, the flowers, the dress .. details, details, details! We featured some truly amazing weddings (and love stories) this year with oh-so-gorgeous details! We’ve rounded up the mo... |
I woke up to find out that I won The local NBC's Best of Detroit for the third year in a row! Thank you to everyone that voted for me. I couldn't have done it without your support.And then I spent the entire day with Dionne of The Shooting Gallery, Don and JoAnn of Take 1 Productions and Jen and Stephanie of Deux Adore out in the woods shooting the 2010 photos and video. Wow, what a day. We all got eaten alive by mosquitos, I fell in the creek, Dionne was cut by pickers and brush and all of my amazing models were the best troopers - climbing in trees, laying in the dirt, getting in the col... |
