Daniel + Laura II

Ceremony decorations can be tough sometimes. Your working with a certain budget, and a lot of the time the majority of it is going to the reception which doesn’t leave a whole lot left for the ceremony. But, the wedding below is a perfect example of how you don’t have to spend a lot of money to create a beautiful space for your guests. Who would have thought lemons simply lining the aisle could be look so lovely?

I also couldn’t resist sharing a couple of my favorite black and white images along with this post. The last shot was taken by Jose with his holga camera, and I can’t get over how dreamy and gorgeous it came out…

Stay tuned for Daniel and Laura’s gorgeous reception coming up next…

Jose Villa never fails to amaze me. But is it bad that I also have a tiny crush on the groom? I love it when a guy puts a little tweak to his attire, who said that you need a tie in your wedding day?
