Don't you just love winter weddings? Snowy scenes combined with the warmth of loved ones, fur boleros and hot cocoa, snuggling up under a blanket with your new groom...

This inspiration for a glam winter wedding plays on all of my favorite things about winter- snow, romance, white and silver shades...and tons of sparkle.

There is something about this time of the year-- the chocolate browns and deep reds and oranges, the apple cider and harvest themed tables-- I just love it! And what's a fall party without pumpkin whoopie pies?? Here is some inspiration for a beautiful fall wedding with warm colors, comfort food, and lots of style.

For the inspiration this week, I went with a classic theme- a black and white wedding. There is something so sophisticated and elegant about pairing these colors together for a classy, clean look. And I love adding these blush touches- it gives a splash of color and creates an overall soft, romantic effect. So pretty!

What could be more fun than a room filled with chocolate, sugar, and a lot of love?? I think a candy shop inspired bridal shower would be a big hit among guests and the bride. I love how the pink and browns say cheerful, girly fun. Throw in some printables, tissue poms, and striped straws, and you have a stylishly sweet grown up party!

This week's inspiration is all about location. There is just something so romantic about a wedding at a winery. I love how the deep rich purples here play with the color of the wine and the how the green and white accents pop against them. Throw in some candlelight and you have a sophisticated, elegant vineyard wedding brimming with romance. Swoon!

It's time for some wedding inspiration, ladies! I am in the summer state of mind, so I pulled together this Citrusy Summer theme. The lemon and lime color palette just scream fun outdoor party to me and I just love how the colors and the use of lemons and limes create a bright, cheerful, summery atmosphere. Who wouldn't be happy at this wedding?

Here is some wedding inspiration to get you over the hump this week. The theme? Cape Cod Elegance- a palette of soft whites and blues with touches of a weathered beach town. I love how these photos capture the essence of Cape Cod- classic elegance with hints of vintage charm. Enjoy!
