I'm a huge fan of purple in weddings, so I'm totally in love with today's real wedding feature of Kendra and Michael from King Street Studios. There are so many details to love . . . including the hanging chandeliers and twinkling lights that came on as the night sky came out for the reception. The venue for their wedding was Legare Waring House, located at Charlestowne Landing, which is one of three different properties at Low Country Park Venues.

This morning I have a Canadian wedding from Madeline's Weddings and Events to share with you that was beautifully photographed by Joel Ross Photography. Tiffany and Shawn's wedding had so many sparkly details including the cake topper {which I absolutely LOVE}, the table cards, the floral cylinder vases and so much more. With a color palette of plum and silver, Madeline's created a stunning décor design with each guest table dressed in stylish plum satin floor length linens, silver table runners and matching silver napkins. And, I'm loving the white ruched chair covers that Madeline's paired perfectly with the color combo. The tall centerpieces were gorgeous on each table and featured brightly colored orchids, clear gems and a sparkly rhinestone wrap at the top. And, don't you just love what's on the sides of the head table? Madeline's installed tall crystal columns for the perfect addition to the reception.

Today's wedding is amazingly unique and super special for the couple which I just LOVE. The bride and groom are baseball lovers and as their photographer of Dana Widman Photography writes, "fell in love at the diamonds... baseball that is!". Don't you just love that? After all, a wedding should be about reflecting a couples personality and style, right? The small town couple, Lisa and JJ, put a spin on the "traditional" wedding photos after the ceremony and took their wedding party {or shall I say teams} out to the baseball field to capture real energy, spirit and joy. The wedding took place in Perham, Minnesota with a super fun and low-key day filled with orange accents {as orange is the color of the local baseball team}.

Rachel and Jonathan's beautiful summer wedding ceremony was held at her father's church in Newbury Park, CA. Rachel's dad wore a red baseball cap which was given to him at Rachel's birth. It was inscribed with "I belong to the Rachel Elizabeth Ferguson Fan Club." When Rachel's father walked her down the aisle, he passed the cap to the groom when he gave away her hand in marriage. Photographs are by Karen Ard Photography.

Before heading to the barn reception, the couple and their wedding party kicked up their cowboy boots at the adjoining field for some great photos.

The bride's personal DIY touches set the rustic tones for this country-style wedding that included everything from burlap on the groom's boutonniere to the luggage tag escort cards.

Alexis + Daniel had a super sweet communion ceremony where they wrote their own vows and also filled a box with love letters to each other and a bottle of wine which is to be opened if they are going through a rough patch or on their 5 year anniversary. Such a great idea!!! Alexis designed and made the invitations herself. The beautiful photographs are by Hergert Photography.

I've seen this idea before and I am so in love with it. It's a new take on the first look for the couple that doesn't want to seach other before the ceremony. You stand on opposite sides of a wall or door and hold hands. It's a great way to make your day a bit more special for each other. In the case of the wedding of Alexis and Daniel, they wanted to be able to exchange a few words and pray together without actually seeing each other.

The cross necklace on the bride's bouquet was a memento of her late grandfather.
