A Timeless & Elegant Event

I immediately fell head over heels for this chic, sophisticated wedding by Beth Helmstetter. The elegance and Old Hollywood glamour was perfection. Take a moment to enjoy these gorgeous moments captured on film as well as the video montage that shows the creation of the event. These photos make me yearn for a black tie wedding that is chic and timeless.

Engagement Bliss

I am extremely excited to announce that my boyfriend of over 3 years proposed on our Caribbean Cruise last week! Ever since he got down on one knee, I’ve been on Cloud 9. While we are likely going to have a long engagement so we can enjoy this special time, I have started to look at wedding ideas. I love so many different themes, it may take me a while to make any decisions. Which type of wedding would you choose?

1. Formal, Black Tie Event

2. Chic Garden Party

3. A Modern Fete

4. A Vineyard Wedding

5. A Rustic Reception

6. The Ultimate Destination
