Rime Arodaky wedding gowns


These dresses may only be available in France, but they are so gorgeous and fun we couldn’t help but want to blog about them. Parisian designer, Rime Arodaky, is a one-time designer for Sonia Rykiel and surprisingly enough this is her first bridal collection.

These dresses are absolutely stunning, but also have a laid back, effortless vibe that’s so not what we would expect from a French designer. J’adore!!



Puppy Love


We love when couple’s incorporate their pet into their wedding day! These images are just adorable!!

There are many ways to include your pet – add them in the save the date photo, make donations to a rescue instead of handing out favors, have them actually in the wedding as a ring bearer, name a guest table after them, or of course, include their photos in a slideshow! No matter how you do it, you can’t lose when you include a furry friend!

The {other} white dress


As a bride, there are many great occasions to wear a short white dress – the bachelorette party, bridal shower, and of course, the rehearsal dinner! It’s a cute way to say, I’m the Bride!, without wearing a big gown. We love these dresses for any occasion!

Beyond the Cake….


Don’t get us wrong – we love a classic, gorgeous, deliciously yummy wedding cake. But…having a bunch of different pies at your wedding? Well that just sounds like a wedding I’d want to be at!

Real Wedding Sneak Peek: Wendy and Victor


Wendy and Victor were married on an absolutely perfect Cinco de Mayo day on Saturday. The air was fresh, the sun was bright and the love was all around them. The couple did their first look and took some gorgeous photos at Terranea Resort before the ceremony, then we headed off to La Venta Inn where 100 of their closest friends and family watched them exchange vows and dance the night away. All in all, it was a perfect day!

Oh…and to be able to share gorgeous photos a mere 2 days after the wedding is one of the many reasons we love Jennifer Roper Photography!

We have MUCH more to come…so keep an eye out for all the details! And thanks to all these fab vendors who made it happen!
