The beautifully understated colors that Lisa and Dave chose for their Beaver Creek, CO wedding prove one thing - sometimes less really is more. The Bridesview team especially love the floral arrangements which we think are truly stunning, as are all of these great shots by Jason and Gina Photography

Here at Bridesview we do love the causal elegance of a nice seaside wedding. This lovely DIY Florida beach wedding, shared with us by Stan Wong Photography, had so many unique little touches picking just a few to showcase here was a tall order for the Bridesview team. We do have to say though that Kristina and Henry’s choice of wedding cake has to be one of the most memorable ones we have seen in a while, it looks almost too good to eat! 
There are a lot more shots from this fun affair waiting for you to check out at Bridesview.com and a lot more DIY inspiration. Why not head over and give them a look and then stop by the Bridesview Facebook page to tell us which elements you liked best, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Randy Anagnostis Photography - Dana and Rob

This elegant Massachusetts wedding was held in a museum, the Wisteriahurst Museum in Holyoke, MA to be precise. However, as you can see from these great shots by Randy Anagnostis Photography there was nothing at all stuffy about it. And bride Dana told us that was exactly the idea:

” When we started dating I was a bit miserable with my entire life. He re-taught me how to have fun, laugh and enjoy being in the moment. So that was the type of wedding I was determined to have! I kept things simple which ensured everyone had fun, including us! We had a no stress day due to an incredible wedding party support group and the professionals that took care of everything!”

In fact Dana was such an organized bride that she also was kind enough to share her list of tips for couples who are still in the wedding planning stages. Here it is:

1. Join The Knot online! Its like a free wedding planner and tells you a timeline of when to do EVERYTHING, even slow down and take a breather!

2. Register! I didn’t and regret it to this day. All the money that we did get didn’t go to the things we needed for our home.

3. Take a few days off of work BEFORE the wedding, you will be too preoccupied with last minute things no matter HOW organized and prepared you are, to concentrate on your job.

4. Even if you aren’t going on a honeymoon,take at least 3 days off AFTER your wedding. Believe me it’ll take days to re-cooperate from entertaining an entire room of guests!

5. Last but most important of all: Have fun and don’t expect perfection! If something doesn’t turn out the way it was planned, chances are you won’t notice but if you do, it’s just one day. Your new life with your spouse is what you are celebrating not a detail that went awry. “

Great advice don’t you think? The Bridesview team wants to thank Dana for sharing and invite you to see more from this lovely wedding at Bridesview.com. We’d also like to invite you to stop by the Bridesview Facebook page to share you thoughts about this or any other wedding we have featured here.
