Real Wedding: Lindsey + Michael in Washington, DC

I think art museums are the perfect setting for a modern wedding since they typically offer clean lines, white walls and, of course, gorgeous artwork. Captured by Robert Holley Photography, Lindsey and Michael were married last August at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC. The museum serves as a gorgeous backdrop for their indoor ceremony and reception. A bold royal blue punctuated the otherwise white decor, while architectural floral arrangements defined the ceremony aisle. I love how the guests were able to sip cocktails amongst stunning works of art.

Real Wedding: Michelle + David in California

This wedding is filled with amazing sunset images and a fun Hollywood vibe! Captured by Viera Photographics, Michelle and David were married in Pacific Palisades, California with the ocean serving as gorgeous ceremony backdrop. A color palette of pink and blue was carried throughout the details and decor. The couple had an updated Hollywood theme, focusing on creating a great party for their guests. The reception included party elements such as a custom beer pong and flip cup table, and a “pink” carpet with paparazzi. Floating white tulip centerpieces, damask linens and favors completed the sophisticated theme. I adore the bride’s shoes (amazing Louboutins), no surprise there!

Tuesday Shoesday: Color Block to Suit Your Mood

I love the color block combinations of the Stella sandals by Kate Spade. You can purchase a pair in either hot (purple, pink and orange) or cool (purple, blue and teal) colors to suit your mood. Both versions feature a sling back, 3.5″ heel and a double bow on the toe.
