Here is another post about autumn, but today I’ve been inspired by Jessica Sloane of Love Bird Style who designed this charming setting captured by Souder Photography. Everything is surrounded by the cosy autumnal colours in the simplicity of few natural elements: an inviting basket of crisp red apples, a corner with warm apple pies & leaves and pine cones spread out everywhere! I always thought that simplicity is the key to happiness … and here a beautiful example! Hopefully this will give you a little inspiration for your ideal wedding!

Here is the most perfect autumn photo shoot I’ve ever seen arranged by the very talented Thaoski! Thaoski doesn’t personally take the photos herself, but she conceives the concept of the shoot, edits the resulting photos and posts up a series of shots that tell a story. The result is absolutely stunning!
“At the end of the day my intention is to leave you feeling more in love and more inspired than ever before. I want you feeling speechless and breathless … in awe of the beauty that was captured. I may create the set, the scene and the story. And the photographer may capture the moment … but ultimately it’s about you, your story and what makes you unique as a couple.” Thaoski.
I’m completely in love with all her engagements photo shoots… Romantic, comic, colourful, vintage… each photo shoot becomes a story, your story that will be forever preserved in those amazing images!

Samantha, the bride, visited Tuscany on a school trip when she was just a teenager. The beauty of the region captured her heart and after many years when Danny proposed to her she had only one place in mind for her big day: Italy! Danny and Samantha travelled across the country to find the perfect venue and fell literally in love with the native home of the Mona Lisa, Vignamaggio. Sam is an art teacher and the fact that Leonardo da Vinci had chosen the location to paint his masterpiece, added a brownie point to the gorgeous Rennaisance villa.

Today I came across this fabulous photo shoot for the new campaign of Pom Pom Factory by Karen Hsu. Using simple materials, Karen brings a personal and handmade touch to her work, giving each creation a freshness and poetic individuality. I was dreaming of bringing the same freshness and poetry to a wedding…why not? Pom poms can be hanged on trees or tied to strings to fill up a room, left floating in the air, used as centerpieces or as tea lights… or even as tiny confetti to throw after the ceremony…So cute!! For a really nice effect you should use thousand of pom poms in different colours and size or…just in the shade that matches your colour scheme! They are a really cheap and chic DIY item! So… Let’s be crafty and creative!

Pink + Orange. If you are planning your summer wedding, I recommend considering this unique color scheme….you’ll definitely make a statement! These are bright and happy colours that will enhance the festive theme of the party. They can be incorporated into every aspect of the wedding planning, into your dress, accessories, invitations, bouquet or cake. To create this orange and hot pink wedding concept board I was inspired by Burano, a small island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy. It’s known for its small, brightly-painted houses, popular with artists. These colours reflected in the water will make the scenery even warmer and charming. Let’s be bright, let’s be summer!

Location of the wedding: Venice, Italy
Venue: Ca’ Nigra & Hotel Bauer
Couple’s name: Jana & Bruce
When I met Jana at the Bauer Hotel in Venice on the morning of her wedding day, she was under a lot of stress. The weather forecast was not positive and a lot of rain was expected. Anyone who has experienced the city of Venice in the rain will certainly understand what I mean…
