A Natural, Vintage Wedding Held at Yosemite’s 1920′s Built Wawona Hotel
Today's beautiful bride Jenny and handsome groom Russ are from the San Francisco Bay area. But they wanted a "natural, vintage" wedding, as Jenny playfully coined it, so they opted to hold their wedding in the mountains at Yosemite's 1920s built Wawona Hotel.
The flowers they chose were a mix of very earthy, natural colors, with white, ivory, muted greens and yellows, as well as a mix of succulents. Photographed by Rachel McNamara Photography, Jenny and Russ wanted to make sure their wedding reflected both of them and their likes, so in addition to Jenny's decor ideas, since Russ is a big Click Here to Read More
A Romantic Mint and Blush Workshop & Inspiration Shoot On a Rustic Santa Barbara Farm
This past Sunday I helped put on my 4th workshop/inspiration shoot since May of last year! Exciting huh? It's been an amazing journey transitioning from photography to blogging full-time on a professional basis and adding in speaking and helping others to be the best they can be in their businesses. It is an experience that is beyond rewarding.
But one of the most joyful things I get out of these workshops is watching the new friendships that form between attendees. It's such an awesome feeling to see people connect because of something you took part in creating. Honestly I don't think I'll Click Here to Read More
An Ivory & Blush Handmade Alabama Country Wedding
In March, at The Experience 2013, I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful photographer I'm featuring today. Aislinn of Aislinn Kate Photography was one of the photographers who attended our Las Vegas workshop during WPPI. And today I'm featuring this gorgeous handmade, country wedding she shot the week after our event. How fantastic is that?
Amanda and Casey wanted a country, handmade wedding. So they created just that. In fact, other than the venue, Aislinn was their only traditional vendor because photographs were a priority. Even the big barn doors that opened as Amanda walked down Click Here to Read More

Let's hear a few words from the bride:

Vintage Elements & A Lovely Free Spirit Make This One Beautiful Bozeman Montana Wedding
This lovely free spirited wedding took place at the Springhill Pavilion just north of Bozeman, Montana. Photographed by Fran Ze Photography, Katie and Kurt's gorgeous outdoor affair can easily be summed up as one...
The gorgeous bride added some great details including a couple of beautiful vintage chairs from Montana Party Rentals and an old wooden crate to hold the ceremony programs. The lovely flowers of Baby's Breath, Daisies in different colors and delicate pink and cream colored roses, among others, were done by Labellum, a contemporary flower boutique in town.

A Fun Family Farm Wedding All About LOVE
The popular saying "Do What You Love" shouldn't only apply to choosing a career. Do what you love should be the best advice to follow when it comes to planning your wedding as well. As in most cases...the best inspiration will always come from the heart.
Jaclyn and Nick believed this to be true as well. And since both the bride and groom come from a farm upbringing, it made perfect sense that the two got married on Nick's family farm in Tennesse. With the barn decked out in paper lanterns, pumpkins and colorful fall flowers, this rustic working farm was turned into a pretty perfect oasis Click Here to Read More

A Beautiful Handcrafted Rustic Rock Vase Made From Something Very Unexpected
Would you believe me if I told you this beautiful vase was handmade from an empty can of Pringles potato chips?
It was!
Are you surprised?
A few months ago when we started planning The Experience workshop, I knew I wanted to do as many handcrafted projects for my inspiration table as possible. And since my theme started going the direction of a sea/beach style, I thought it would be perfect to somehow make some vases that were covered in rocks.
If you're looking for a rustic vase option for your wedding or perhaps just a pretty vase to display in your home, I highly recommend Click Here to Read More

Rustic Gray, Pink & Natural Wood Reader Requested Wedding Inspiration
Over the weekend I received this sweet reader email from a lovely bride to be. She wrote:
Dear Stephanie,
I'm getting married in the fall on a family farm in New York. The ceremony will be outside, and we're planning on having the reception inside the old barn. The barn has been used for other weddings so I know it's going to be perfect! I'm really, really excited! But other than my dress, I'm at a loss on where to begin with the style of it all.
