Lauren + Nathan

It’s a fact that we get excited for every single one of our weddings. We love to hear our couple’s stories as we get to know them, see the details that they wish to incorporate into their day that makes it uniquely theirs, and to see everything fall perfectly into place as their dream wedding day unfolds. Lauren and Nathan’s Wedding did not disappoint. As the scorching heat wave continued to hammer down on St. Louis, their breezy color scheme, laid-back personalities, and a very fun wedding party were the perfect combination for a fun day.

As the bridesmaids got ready for the day and toasted Lauren…

…the groomsmen were off having fun of their own:

But then came the moment for our bride and groom to see each other for the first time, and stunning pictures commenced:

The wedding party headed back indoors for their ceremony, that featured quite possibly the cutest ring bearer…

…and a fun mix of bridesmaids dresses the bridesmaids selected themselves in different hues of coral

The reception decor was the perfect mix of fun, elegant, and cute

Andie + Ted

We love the preppy-ness and chic-ness of all that is Andie and Ted’s wedding. Black and white stripes? Check. Soft pinks intermingle along with ruffles? Check. Grass accents to play a nod to the groom’s landscaping business? Check. Both a ceremony and reception dress? Double check. And finally, three wedding cakes? Triple check!

The couple’s invitations set the tone for what guests were to expect at their wedding

The Special Event Florist never disappoints with lovely florals, which matched the preppy feel of this wedding perfectly

After becoming husband and wife, our adorable couple exits the church with a ribbon wand exit…

Rachel + Luke

Happy Friday everyone!  We are posting our Friday post a bit early but we couldn’t wait to share with you Rachel & Luke’s wedding photos!  Clary Photo took such amazing photos of their wedding weekend and Sweet Tea Media created a beautiful video for Rachel & Luke, and we’ve been so excited to share these with everyone!   The love that this couple has for each other is captured so beautifully in all of these photos from Clary Photo.  It was an honor to be a part of their day and to help them bring their wedding vision to life.  A truly magical celebration with all of their family and friends, and we had some amazing St. Louis wedding vendors to help us bring that feeling to life for everyone who was there.  Check out all of the amazing photos on Style Me Pretty and Clary Photo’s blog!

Victorian Inspiration Shoot

I absolutely love styling and planning inspiration shoots.  They are a great way to get inspiration flowing and showcase new design ideas.  When Heather Roth asked me to be a part of this lovely Victorian Inspiration Shoot that she wanted to do, I jumped on board because it was just the type of shoot that I LOVE to do!  We were able to secure some fabulous vendors here in town to help us execute this vision, and the images that came out of that day were absolutely stunning.  It also helps to also have the cutest couple ever be your models for the day!!

Last week we literally were jumping up and down after seeing our shoot up on Style Me Pretty.  It is always a dream to see your work up on a national blog, and we can’t thank them enough for sharing our shoot with the wedding world.   I also wanted to share the awesome online album that Heather Roth Photography put together to showcase the shoot.   It captures all of the fabulous pieces that we all brought together for the shoot, and I can’t thank the vendors enough for everything they did for this shoot!  Even Mike (my husband) was a part of the preparations by making the amazing chocolate cake that you see!

Hope you all enjoy!
