The inspiration for the ceremony was those paper chains we all made in kindergarten. Instead of paper, I used grosgrain ribbon which has a beautiful subtle sheen to it that I just love.

Cynthia and I made about 540 loops to achieve the effect I was going for.

I thought the effect was so pretty and magical!

I borrowed a dress from Alina Pizzano for my bride. It was a light, light, pink with a brocade texture to the fabric. I love the cut, with its sweet heart neckline and simple train.

For styling, I added a light blue grosgrain ribbon to the waist of the dress.

For her bouquet I used white ranunculus, paper whites, muscari, berzilla balls, and queen anne’s lace.

In her hair, a simple piece of aqua netting was tied into a headband.

I found this killer vintage necklace in Paso Robles after I finished a site visit with one of my brides. I love the slightly art deco feel it has and the aqua color is to die for!

To me, there is nothing more glamorous than a delicate tea cup filled with jewelry. Paired with soft pink peonies or roses, the look is just darn pretty.

Of course you’ll need an equally fabulous vanity to hold these jems.

Today I’d like to welcome a new sponsor to the blog, Hazel & Harlow! I love the rough, organic texture of these rose rings, which are available here. I think these would make a lovely anniversary present.

Likewise, I love this swallow pendant with white and green topaz stones.

And this is quite the lucky horseshoe! I love the delicate filigree work. This would make the perfect lucky charm for a bride on her wedding day. To check out the full Hazel & Harlow line click here.

I do love this vingtage ring photo by Sarah Rhoads. But then, I’m a sucker for anything vintage!

I think this will be the last ring post for a while. I’m toying with some ideas, but I think most likely Friday’s will be my day to present some of my favorite food photography.
