Although my wedding was almost (!) 6 months ago, I still love looking at wedding blogs. Here are a few pictures I have saved:

From the bride’s classic style, to the secret service groomsmen, to the bold necklaces on the maids, I loved everything about this wedding. Shot by the very talented Matthew Morgan (who has a new blog! Check it out!)

(amazing shoes, right?!)

Sara from onelove photography sent me this wedding the other day and I am so excited to post it! Not only are the pictures amazing, but there are peacock feathers! (And we all know my love for peacock feathers)

A little information about the couple:

Khara and Tony Tapia were married this summer at the Garden Pavilion in Sonoma, California. This private estate hosts less than a dozen weddings a year and is in very high demand, obviously – situated in the heart of Sonoma’s famous Carneros region it sits as a historic landmark. Built in 1856, with a generous wisteria clad veranda, It flanks the spacious lawn together with an elegant shaded pavilion for dining and dancing surrounded by an abundance of flowers, roses, and oleander trees.

Tony’s hispanic background infused with Khara’s vintage flair brought for quite a fun event, with a mariachi band playing as they walked down the aisle, guests ate paella for dinner and pies for dessert….the bouquets were gorgeous, flanked with bleached peacock feathers!! Amazing! and fun!

My long time friend Jessie got married a few months back (Yaaay!) and I have been meaning to do a post of her pictures, but I just kept getting busy.  So this morning when I saw on facebook that she had put some new items on her etsy shop I figured now was a good time to do a double header!

Jessie is a Southern California girl who fell in love with a (very tall) Swedish basketball player. She travels with him and when they aren’t traveling they are in Sweden. All of this time has given her a chance to work on some side projects, sewing being one of them. And oh. my. Lord. Go check out her etsy shop before everything sells out!

A yoga mat bag.

Place mats with a built in chopsticks holder! (ok, so between this morning when I grabbed the picture from her etsy and right now, these have sold out….  I am sure you can request some though!)

She also has pillows and aprons… all in the most fun fabrics!  Go check it out!

Now on to her wedding. Want to know something cool? They got married in Sweden, so… as to not disappoint all of their family and friends who couldn’t make the trip, they had a live feed going! I got to watch the whole thing from right here in front of my computer!  It was awesome! All images (except for the shoes, which were shot by a freind, were actually shot by an actions sports photographer! Check out his site!

She was rockin the J. Crew dress (The Whitney) and shoes!!

So gorgeous!  She also has a blog , which I have a link to over on the right, Meditations of a Wallflower. She posts cooking stuff, home decorating stuff, life stuff…  She is pretty much awesome.  Congrats Jessie and Fred!!!

I know, 2 in 1 week!  I just finished editing this wedding and it was sooo gorgeous!  I love the bright and wild flowers, the fun bridesmaids pictures, the cake! and the pure joy on the happy couples faces. All shot by Matthew Morgan.
