Today we have something a little different - a styled shoot from Cecilia Flaming Photography that was shot in an industrial district in Vancouver, BC.

We love the way Cecilia styled and shot this one, another great example of why she is such a great photographer and a Bridesview fave! By the way, the dress Kara wore cost just $20 if you can believe that - what a find!

Kimmy and Andrew’s Southbury, CT wedding celebration was an elegant affair that the Bridesview team loved. The quirky scenery of the Aqua Turf Club provided a gorgeous outdoor backdrop and the reception decor was simple but very sophisticated at the same time. We loved the ice sculpture (and the dry ice)

This was the American celebration that came after the couple’s formal Hindu celebration of marriage, another beautiful affair that we will be featuring very soon so watch out for it!

Laurie Carpenter Photography: Lindsey and Zach

Tue, 22 May 2012 11:01:19 -0400

There are so many great and very individual touches to this wonderful Nashville, TN wedding, as shared with us by Laurie Carpenter Photography and the Bridesview team loved them all. Where did the inspirations come from? The lovely bride Lindsey was good enough to fill us in. She told us “We just wanted everything to represent us, and of course make sure everyone had fun! We have a lot of friends and family who love to have a great time, so we just wanted to show off our personalities by making the whole day as unique to who we are as possible, while still having a blast and making it enjoyable for our guests.

“Zach had his super hero cake, which was a big hit. Our wedding cake was suspended mid air, and people LOVED that! We also had guests sign guitars, as I’m a songwriter, and that was our guest book. And green and blue are our favorite colors, so our wedding planner incorporated that into a lot of the lighting and decorations!”

Lindsey also shared with us her advice for brides to be based on her own experiences. When we asked for her top three tips for brides to be she told us “”1) Get a wedding planner! She was the best money we spent!

2) The day is not only about you, it’s about your guests. Make sure you are accommodating to them and that they have a great time! I’ve been to so many weddings where I’ve helped clean up at the end of the night; no fun! Splurge a little and make sure someone else is doing that; the day is supposed to be fun!

3) Enjoy it. Having a wedding planner let us forget about details and the day didn’t fly by on us. We were able to take it all in and have a fantastic time.” Great advice Lindsey and we thankyou for sharing!

Speaking of sharing, we have so much more for you to see from this great wedding album at the main Bridesview.com site so we invite you to head over there to check it all out.

Dreamtime Images: Holly and John

Mon, 21 May 2012 11:48:58 -0400

What was the inspiration behind the gorgeous Colorado wedding of high school sweethearts Holly and John? The Bridesview team were lucky enough to find out from the bride herself! Holly told us “I had always wanted the picturesque outdoor wedding at top a mountain. I wanted a rustic nature setting with simple elegance touches throughout. So we picked our favorite place in Colorado and chose a rustic log cabin with an outdoor deck to have the ceremony on. The aspen leaves had just turned golden yellow and were the perfect back drop”. We agree and think that Dreamtime Images did a wonderful job capturing it all!

Holly also shared with us her advice for brides to be, based on her experience. ”Something will go wrong but don’t worry about it! Our cake fell completely apart while driving it up the mountain! My wedding coordinator and mother had to piece it back together and put flowers to cover all the holes! It ended up looking pretty and tasting great and no one knew. Enjoy every minute of the wedding, it goes by really fast but take a moment with your new spouse after the ceremony just the two of you. “

We have a lot more great images from Holly and John’s big day to share with you at the main Bridesview.com site, so be sure to check them all out. And don’t forget to stop by the Bridesview Facebook page to share your thoughts, we’d love to hear them!

The Bridesview team do love a nice Fall wedding and this Branford, CT affair is a great example of just why that is! We love the jewel colored bridesmaid dresses and the slightly autumnal flowers. And the cake is something else, but given that we heard that Justin’s Mom runs a bakery we guess you would expect nothing less!

Fri, 11 May 2012 10:50:00 -0400

Red and white are two of the Bridesview team’s favorite wedding colors and at Tamar and Venkatraman’s unique Jewish-Hindu wedding at the Stanford Faculty Club they came together perfectly, as did this beautiful couple! We love the tower of cupcakes too and the bridesmaids dresses are stunning.

Tamar and Venkatraman’s photographer on the day was the amazingly talented Teresa Halton, one of our favorite California photogs. We really liked the way Teresa incorporated the rain into the formal shots and then captured all the joy of the rest of the day to perfection.

Wed, 09 May 2012 11:02:04 -0400

The Hudson Valley in upstate New York is renowned for the amazing fall foliage that can be seen everywhere each October and as you can see Caitlin and Gordon made the most of that fact when they were married at Caitlin Gardens in Slate Hill, New York. The couple even extended the fall theme to the wedding itself and the Bridesview team love autumn inspired bouquets and centerpieces.

These amazing photographs are the work of Rose Schaller Photography. We really admire the way that Rose captured all the beauty and magic of the Gardens while still ensuring that the happy couple took center stage.

Photolosophys: Rachel and Robert

Fri, 04 May 2012 10:46:17 -0400

The flowers are a big part of any wedding but nature in general was a huge part of Rachel and Robert’s Columbus, Ohio wedding as they were married at The Franklin Park Conservatory. For all that greenery though the Bridesview team really fell in love with the sunflowers - what a wonderful bright and cheery bouquet they make.

We also loved the work of the photographer on the day - Meghan from Photolosophys - she did such a brilliant job of capturing both the spirit of the day and the gorgeous setting (as well as those delicious looking cupcakes.) Oh and for those of you who don’t know, the large headed gent seen introducing the new Mr and Mrs is Brutus the Buckeye, the Ohio State University mascot.

Thu, 03 May 2012 10:09:19 -0400

Daira and Nate’s Tempe, Arizona wedding was, as you can see, a fun, colorful occasion full of smiles, fun and a lot of love. The Bridesview team love the stunning location, especially the illuminated cacti and of course as a bunch of animal lovers we adore the four legged groomsman. What really struck us though about this wedding - which was shared with us by the very talented Photography by Verdi - is how well every aspect of it seems to represent the couple’s personalities so well.

Monica and Jose’s Dallas, Texas wedding was, the Bridesview team feels,the perfect balance of very traditional and decidedly modern.The ceremony took place at the beautiful St Monica Catholic church in Dallas, with just the right amount of formality before moving to the reception venue in nearby Irving for a celebration that certainly looks like it was an awful lot of fun. We love the color scheme as well as the way that Monica Salazar Photography’s photographs tell the story of the day so perfectly - from the adorably grumpy flower girl to the lovely couples First Dance.
