Take your wedding flower crown obsession to the next level

We love ourselves a good veil, but the bohemian-fabulous trend of flower crowns is not-to-be-missed. Nothing tops a fabulously colored dress or wildly colored hair like a wedding flower crown, too. Top our noggins with flowers all day, every day.

From flora to greenery and succulents to unicorn horns, you MUST see these wedding flower crowns of all shapes and varieties.

This satyr cosplay engagement brings serious magic to our Renaissance-loving hearts

Janee and Bill love all things Renaissance, and in unique fashion, Bill proposed to Janee at the Colorado Renaissance Festival. They also love cosplay and Janee creates all of their costuming herself, including these amazing satyr costumes for this year’s Ren fest. On the opening weekend of the festival, Bill proposed with a gorgeous leaf silhouette ring.

For this satyr cosplay engagement session, they capitalized on all her hard work by spending the evening at Fountain Creek Nature Center, south of Colorado Springs. The pair passed out wildflower seeds to passersby and stole our nerdy hearts in the process. If THIS is their engagement session, what will their wedding bring? No pressure, guys…

Balloons gone chic: giant balloon wedding decor for your reception

Okay I know… balloons are for kid’s parties, right? But what if I told you that balloons can totally be adult chic? Just take a peek at these huge 36-inch balloons with gorgeous tassels that you can use as wall decor, a ceremony backdrop, a candy buffet backdrop, or as in the case here, reception chair decor. It’s like channeling childhood AND keeping it super classy.

Collect your jaw from the floor after this jewel-toned cocktail reception

Vintage goblets and accessories on the bar cart, a red velvet couch with a gold backdrop, rich, dramatic florals, and a lush rug to create a luxe sitting area — this jewel-toned cocktail reception styled shoot with Jessica and David totally captures the essence of bright colors. David’s suit was custom-made for him in Thailand, and the personalized invitation suite was hand-painted by the photographer, who is also an artist (holy talent, Batman!).

Let’s ogle the rich colors and puppy cuddles and be inspired, my friends…
