Weekly Wedding Round-up: Burgers and Save the Dates

In-N-Out at a wedding? An adorable dog posing for a Save the Date shoot? These are just a few of the amazing items we pulled from the world of weddings this week:

• This DIY backyard wedding, which already wins points for the cute and colorful decor, also featured fish tacos and an In-N-Out truck! That is definitely some wedding grub we can get behind.
  
• An incredibly vintage glam wedding had framed records as tablets for the guests to leave their messages for the bride & groom. They will undoubtedly make amazing pieces of art in the couple's home.
  
• A big old tree in Malibu makes the perfect romantic spot for this DIY wedding.
  
• We found a few really cute save the dates this week! One takes up a whimsical, old-fashioned carnival theme, while the other showcases the couple's fluffy pooch:
  
  
  
  

Weekly Wedding Round-up: Destinations & Details

We found a lot of unique destination weddings this week, plus an anniversary shoot at our beloved Ace Hotel in Palm Springs. Check out the great eye candy--dresses, cakes, and more--we uncovered.

• This Lake Como wedding defines luxury: breathtaking views, intricate stonework, and an elegantly-attired bride and groom.
• The Ace Hotel never ceases to be the perfect spot for sun-kissed romance, and this anniversary shoot hits all the right notes--especially with this adorable shot of the couple checking out their own wedding footage on an old-fashioned projector.
• A wedding that features vintage cameras as props for the bride and groom is right up our alley.
• Michigan couple Echo and Rich chose to get married in a little black chapel in a field in Iceland. Talented Icelandic photographer Bragi Por Josefsson captures the landscape & couple in some extraordinary shots.
• Givenchy's newest collection features some dazzling numbers that would be fitting for a haute couture bride.

• Let them eat cake! Or... let us eat this berry-topped chocolate cake.
• We love bright colors, and the corals & yellows accenting this Southern wedding would be gorgeous on super 8!

Weekly Wedding Round-up: Bow Ties & Cupcakes

This week, the magic is all in the details. Check out our favorite weddings, accessories, dresses, venues, and more.

• We're all googly-eyed over everything at this Carmel, CA wedding: the illustrated invites, the bride's gray dress, the mix CD favors in vellum envelopes, the tower of cream puffs wedding cake, and, of course, Max Wanger's gorgeous photographs.
• Once Wed spotlights some incredibly funky and cool bow ties from Forage. We'll take one of each!
• Now, you probably wouldn't think of a market as the ideal place to wed, but couple Megan and Eric prove that the most unusual spaces can be the most spectacular at their Oklahoma City Farmers Market wedding.
  
• It's always exciting when brides get a bit daring with their dresses. Janine Jarman, of Shear Genius fame, sports a funky, short, ruffly dress. What could be more appropriate for walking down the aisle to Madonna?
  
• This darling, pastel-colored Cape Cod wedding has a lovely selection of cakes & pastries. We're ready for dessert!

Weekly Wedding Round-up: Rainy Weddings & Storybook Invites

This week we found plenty of beautiful and inspirational wedding tidbits, including quite a few weddings that would look spectacular on super 8. Check out our favorite weddings, venues, tuxes, invites, and more!

• Happily for this couple, rain on your wedding day is supposed to bring good luck. We shot a rainy day wedding a while back and think "Isn't It a Lovely Day" by Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald makes the perfect accompaniment to images of in-love couples under umbrellas.
  
• This cozy Wisconsin wedding got a bit luckier as far as sunshine goes. We love the atmosphere, especially the warm evening light filtering through the trees (photographed by Jennifer Cress).
• You gotta love a man with style. Check out groom Matt's snazzy, Joshua tree suit. The bride reveals to Ruffled: "I think he asked me to marry him mainly to have an excuse to get a custom suit." We have to admit, we'd probably do the same for a suit like this.
• A simple and modern Chicago wedding at Prairie Production is flooded with bright sunlight and would be perfect for shooting on super 8.
• Adorable DIY touches abound at this retro backyard wedding. We're smitten with the colorful origami flower centerpieces.
• It's always fantastic when couples get creative, and this storybook-style wedding invitation--which details the couple's journey together--goes above and beyond. Artist & groom Giles Timms designed and illustrated his own very cool (and sweet!) invites.
  Enjoy all this great eye candy and happy long weekend!
  

Weekly Wedding Round-up: Our fave weddings, venues, favors and more!

This week we came across tons of cool weddings, venues, favor ideas, and dresses. Here's a complete round-up of our favorites in each category:

• A wedding on a family farm in Texas, photographed by The Nichols, comes complete with red cowboy boots for the bride, a mariachi band, horses, and guacamole. Looks like a rootin'-tootin' (not to mention delicious) good time; wish we coulda been there!
  
• Glamorous design + an old factory = one incredible venue. Check out this wedding at Sodo Park in Seattle.
  
• Green Wedding Shoes features some unique wedding favor CD designs; as if making a mix of great songs to share with family and friends weren't sweet enough, these couples have added a super cool artistic touch to the packaging.
  
• Retro wedding gowns from Dolly Couture on The Wedding Chicks look perfect for a Mad Men-themed wedding.
  
• And definitely the best post on any wedding site this week: our musically-themed spotlight on Hi-Fi Weddings. (Yeah, yeah, shameless self-promotion!--but we promise the questionnaire is as fun to read as it was to answer.)
