I'm so excited to start this week off as I have one of the most amazing weddings to share with you. This Tampa, Florida wedding was photographed by Mariana and Khaled of Kismis Ink Photography and is absolutely stunning and the details are captured perfectly. Not only is the brides dress a "super wow" one with beading and a feathery style but wait until you see the wedding cake. Let's get started with some photos of Nicole and Keily's wedding and then more details on the special day . . .

Nicole's purple feathered high heels and feathered-fascinator {seen a few photos down} are pure gorgeousness.

Loving the details on the wedding gown and don't you just love Nicole's purple garter that matches her shoes so perfectly?

Nicole got ready for her wedding in the Bridal Suite of the Don Vicente. This historic inn was built in 1895 and features Persian rugs, ornate furniture, and lacy, elaborate cast iron balconies. Miriana says "Nicole and Keily's first look seems as if it's a scene from an old romantic Spanish film".

The church Nicole and Keily married in opened in 1905 and most of the church's interior design is just as it was a century ago with the Romanesque architecture and seventy stunning stained glass windows.

Nicole is the daughter of Cuban immigrants and their reception was held at the The Cuban Club which was once a unifying force in the Cuban community. Aren't the feathered centerpieces amazing? So different, yet perfect for the setting of this wedding. And, that cake? WOW!!! Loving the bling between the layers.

Have to send Mariana a HUGE thank you for letting me share this spectacular wedding with you today.

The meeting of Karen and John started with a blind date that led to today's beautiful fall wedding, with photography by Mary Rosenbaum Photographs. The bride and groom wanted an intimate and relaxed day in the fall season to celebrate their marriage. The outdoor wedding ceremony was officiated by the groom's father which added to the intimacy of the day. John and Karen made the wedding favors themselves - each guest went home with a set of wooden homemade coasters.

The fall wedding of Nicole and Jason is so perfect to share with you today on Halloween. Not only does it feature purple and orange which are great colors for the day - but there's even dancing pumpkins. During the wedding the groom's cousin told a story about when her sister married a few years earlier she had wanted to have pumpkins on the table. Her mother had told her she wasn't spending that much money for a Halloween party so the pumpkin idea couldn't be used. As a surprise, Jason and his cousins got together and came out in pumpkin suits and started dancing. Jason's cousin decided to bring the pumpkins to his wedding with Nicole too. When they came out, The Monster Mash started. The gorgeous photography is by Shannon Lee Images.

Today's real wedding features the designer Brie, who owns the LA based clothing line, BREN, with her twin sister, Jenny. The wedding of Brie and Tom captured the vibe of an elegant picnic {LOVING this theme by the way}. With Tom originally from England, the couple embraced the ambiance of an English afternoon tea garden for their wedding. To carry this out, the wedding featured baby's breath bouquets, lemon centerpieces, croquet during the reception, Pim's as the signature cocktail, homemade scones by the bride, and a London Cab exit.

Many personal touches were seen throughout the wedding including . . .
• the lemon wedding cake was made by the groom's sister and mother
• the bride's mom and cousin played the guitar and sang the couple's first dance song
• the bridesmaids dresses were from the BREN line
• the groom's suit was designed by the bride's sister's boyfriend
