Today's real wedding of Ashley and Jason took place at Cavalier Yacht and Country Club in Virginia Beach and they said their vows at Trinty Church with a super fun confetti filled exit. Between the ceremony and reception, Ross Costanza Photography headed with the bride and groom to the historic Cavalier Hotel at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront for some great photo opportunities. I love the lace wrapped fabric bouquet with rhinestone/brooch centers. And, the couples first look was actually a first "touch" as they reached around a door and held hands. This is super sweet and I think it makes the walk down the aisle even more exciting.

Before I share with you some of the hottest {most popular} pins of the past couple weeks, I have something that my brides might like to partake in. TheAnnouncementSite.com has launched and it's the place where newly engaged and married couples can announce their weddings and engagements. Here's how they describe their site: "

"The service is free and there are no hidden fees, upgrade gimmicks, or installations required, simply a straight-forward publishing site. The site takes the information from an online form filled out by a couple and uses proprietary software and professional human editors to create a classic, formal-style announcement. The result is an elegantly crafted and modern announcement that can be easily shared with the couples’ friends, relatives and colleagues. Bill Bulkeley, who worked as a Wall Street Journal reporter for many years, created TheAnnouncementSite.com to give couples a free, easy-to-use alternative to newspaper announcements."

And, now for what's been hot on my pinterest boards . . . looks like there's been lots of yellow and some AMAZING cakes, bouquets and wedding dress details. Don't you just love the back of the Anna Campbell Gossamer gown? And, the beaded neckline on the wedding gown means no necklace is needed. What about that 4-tier pillow cushion cake? BEYOND STUNNING!!! The yellow and green brooch bouquet is perfect for fall. Planning a rustic wedding? The 3-tier white and yellow wedding cake is a great choice. And, lastly, the yellow and white wedding cake with huge sugar flower is just lovely.

The Ritzy Rose, known for their "Accessories with a Classic Look for the Modern Gal or Guy" have an amazing collection just for the guys . . . Boutonnieres . . . with a TON of brand new styles just created. With The Ritzy Rose encouraging brides to be unique and make their day their own, there's no reason the same can't apply to the guys, right? Since The Ritzy Rose is run by a wife {Jen} with her husband {Jason}, the groom is not forgotten about. You may know Jen for her amazing brooch bouquets she creates. Well, now the groom {and groomsmen} can have a boutonniere of their very own based on personal interests {think computer chips, spark plugs, airplanes or something totally different}. The Ritzy Rose has their boutonnieres divided out by interest and the ones that don't quite fit a category can be found under "This and That". And, of course, custom boutonnieres are always available as is bridal party pricing for multiple custom boutonnieres.

And, lastly, The Ritzy Rose is having their very own FLASH SALE during the month of May. You will be able to find some of their most popular items as well as studio samples at never-before-seen discounted prices, like this bouquet. You will find savings from 25-50% off the retail prices.

Today's wedding of Megan and William from William Innes Photography is simply gorgeous - I love the pink and ivory color palette. Oh, and wait until you see the bride's stunning brooch bouquet - you are going to love it. The touches of crystal bling throughout the wedding add great romantic touches. Plus, I'm definitely a fan of bling and sparkles.
