Ever thought of asking your bridesmaids to wear vintage prom dresses at your wedding? Now I admit this look isn’t for everyone, but I thought it was as absolutely adorable idea. Oh, and I couldn’t resist posting the two images below as well. Heather of Amorology is the amazing planner behind this fun and lighthearted wedding and her mother, Robin, created the whimsical flowers.

I am so excited about today’s real wedding feature of John and Megan’s recent wedding in the country photographed by the talented, Millie Holloman. All the vintage touches and familiar details throughout really make this wedding standout as something special and heartfelt in my opinion. Not only did Megan surprise everyone by wearing her mother’s wedding dress to the
ceremony, but they also used the same caketopper John’s parents used in their
wedding over 30 years ago in honor of both sets of parents. And don’t even get me started on that incredible baby blue bell sleeve dress Megan wore to say their goodbyes in their vintage mustang get-away car…

I love how Laurel Denise hung little vases filled with simple string and dried flowers at her booth for a recent tradeshow. This image is a perfect example of how you don’t need a lot "stuff" to make a wedding or even a tradeshow booth elegant and modern.
