Monday, December, 31, 2012 at 6:00 am

On Friday, I shared your Top 10 Favorite Weddings from this past year, so all this week I’m sharing some of my favorite wedding details + inspiration! Today it’s all about my favorite inspiration from movies, music, art + books! So much inspiration from pop culture for your wedding day. :)

One of my favorite real weddings from this past year was this Dr. Seuss Inspired Wedding designed by Amorology and photographed by Matthew Morgan. So much whimsy + color!

Or how about this Land of Oz Wedding that took place at an old Wizard of Oz theme park captured by Brett & Jessica?

I loved how these two art lovers incorporated Banksy’s famous Balloon Girl in this Banksy Inspired Wedding photographed by Morgan Trinke.

This fun styled shoot took inspiration from Where the Wild Things Are. It was photographed by Tin Can Photography and styled by Juli Vaughn Designs.

One book that a lot of you loved was this styled shoot that pulled inspiration from The Night Circus. Photographed by Jessica Claire, the design was by Jesi Haack Design and Honey and Poppies.

Another popular book was this Anne of Green Gables inspiration photographed by Jessica Zais Photography.

Something a bit totally different (in a good way!) was this tablescape inspired by the Indiana Jones movies and photographed by Studio EMP.

This Traveling Musician Wedding Shoot captures lots of great inspiration for music lovers and was photographed by Papered Heart Photography.

Pretty romantic inspiration in this Jane Austen Inspired Shoot photographed by nbarrett photography with design by Molly Voth.

Love Conquers All in this modern Romeo & Juliet Inspired Shoot photographed by Becca Borge with design + styling by Sugar(ed) Event Design and Planning.

Come Fly With Us: Wedding Inspiration from Pan Am photographed by Vivian Sachs Photography and designed by Charmed Events Group.

I hope you enjoyed these picks! And if you did, you might want to also check out my favorite music + movie inspiration from 2011. :)

Top 10 Real Weddings from 2012

Friday, December, 28, 2012 at 8:30 am

This past year we shared some pretty amazing real weddings. These 10 are the most visited, shared, pinned and hearted from the past year. So, let’s take a look and see which weddings you all fell in love with from the past year…

10. This Festival Inspired Backyard Wedding photographed by Jenny Kim Photo stole our hearts with their giant pink tent, the festival weekend atmosphere, and the triangle dining table – so many personal touches and gorgeous design by Sitting In A Tree.

9. A Santa Margarita Ranch Wedding photographed by The Collective Photographers. So many of you loved the pretty bridesmaids dresses from Anthropologie, the train ride after the ceremony, and their barn reception at Santa Margarita Ranch.

8. This Handmade Boho Chic Wedding photographed by Priscila Valentina Photography was another favorite. With the gorgeous bride + groom, the lovely bridesmaids all in Free People along with the other Free People inspired decor, this one was a stunner!

7. Amy Smart + Carter Oosterhouse’s Eco-Friendly Wedding photographed by Harrison Studio was simply stunning. You guys loved that this celeb couple incorporated so many eco-friendly details into their day – as did I!

6. And how about this Vintage Circus Wedding photographed by Cameron Ingalls? This circus-loving couple went all out on their circus theme with a big top tent, fire breathing circus performers and so much more!

5. A Handmade Paper Flower Wedding photographed by Studio Castillero. So many of you loved all the great DIY advice from this sweet wedding – including the super fun paper flowers the bride + bridesmaids all carried (which was our top DIY post from 2012!).

4. This Woodsy Bohemian Wedding photographed by Ellie Grover captured so many hearts also. From the adorable flower girls, to the stylish bride + groom, and all their great details, there was lots of pinning from this wedding!

3. DeAnna Pappas + Stephen Stagliano’s Southern Chic Wedding photographed by Callaway Gable was another favorite. This former Bachelorette favorite captured our hearts with her sweet Southern wedding to her love Stephen.

2. An Orange Wedding Dress Wedding photographed by Christine Pobke. It seems like I wasn’t the only fan of this bride in orange!

1. And which wedding was the most popular in 2012? That would be fashion blogger Chriselle of The Chriselle Factor‘s Romantic Wedding at Greystone Mansion photographed by Jana Williams! So fun to see that you guys loved our Down the Aisle with Chriselle series and her wedding was a dream wedding for so many of you. :)

And since elopements were a fun trend to share last year, I thought I’d share the most favorite elopement of the bunch also! An Elopement at Yosemite National Park photographed by Carl Zoch was a dream wedding for so many of you. :)

Next week I’ll be sharing my favorite fashion details, wedding details, engagements and more from 2012, so see you all back on Monday!
