Unique bouquets

Some of these bouquets are floral, some are not. Either way, they are all quite unique and perfect alternatives for a bride who is looking for a less traditional bouquet.

Pinecone

Great for a winter wedding; perhaps for the bridesmaids while the bride carries something more detailed, featuring smaller pinecones?

Friday Favourites: Glamour

It is no secret that I love weddings of all kinds. While I was planning my own wedding, I knew I wanted some laid-back, rustic touches for our winery venue. I wasn't too interested in rhinestones and sparkles, but I surely appreciated the beauty of them. Here are some of my favourite glittering features from glam weddings around the web.

Dress

Gorgeous Mia Solano dress; have to show you a close up shot, too. So pretty!

Floral bouquet

 I love white for glam weddings, and the jewels wrapped around the bouquet are a perfect addition.

Outside-the-box bouquet

Wow! The more I think about it, I would have loved to have done this for my wedding. Not only because it is a much better keepsake than dried flowers, but it is just stunning!
