A few weeks ago Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell tied the knot, and I loved reading about their fun and casual style; the hay bails for guests to sit on, the gospel choir that sang during the ceremony, and of course, their two sweet dogs that walked down the aisle as members of the wedding party! So cute! I’ve seen this a number of times at weddings I’ve photographed, so I asked around to find […]

Trophy Cupcakes
Cupcakes are cute, no doubt about it. Just looking at one makes my heart go pitter-pat. But the cupcakes from Trophy Cupcakes and Party are truly a cut above the rest! Not only are they ridiculously adorable, but they come in flavors like Triple Chocolate, Red Velvet, Lemon Strawberry, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter & Jelly, and Chai Cardomom. Yum! I recently tried a Hummingbird cupcake which was a heavenly coconut, pineapple and banana concoction with cream […]
Vintage Postcards from Card Cow
I love the idea of incorporating vintage postcards into your invitation design or wedding decor, or using them as save-the-dates or RSVP postcards. Choose ones that represent your wedding location, where you grew up, or where you’re headed on your honeymoon. This could be especially fun for destination weddings! Check out CardCow.com for a selection of thousands of vintage postcards from all over the world. I could get lost exploring their site for hours!
The Palette Generator, My Favorite New Toy!
Reading around yesterday I came across this fantastic toy, I mean tool, from Big Huge Labs called the Palette Generator. (Thanks Brooklyn Bride and The Paper Pony!) You can upload any image from your computer and it will instantly “create a harmonious color palette” for you. What a great way to come up with a wedding color scheme! Try it out, and I guarantee you’ll be hooked, I sure was. Don’t ask me what in […]
Creative Save the Dates
After last week’s post about Kelly’s creative save-the-date, I received these fantastic responses from two Junebug readers and just had to share!Andrea and Trevor made their save the date postcard using a photo they took jumping off his Grandma’s dock at Hood Canal. “We took the photo at our engagement party with all our friends around us and it was a blast … even though I usually don’t like jumping in the water it was […]
Eva and Tony’s Ravishing Red Wedding
Sketch by Angel Sanchez, Image by la Storia foto If you’ve been paying even the tiniest bit of attention to pop culture recently, you’ve certainly heard the buzz about Eva Longoria and Tony Parker’s lavish red-themed wedding at the Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte outside of Paris. From their celebrity friends in attendance to her Angel Sanchez dress, the first dance to The Book of Love by Peter Gabriel and the messages inscribed inside their Piaget wedding bands, […]
Save the Date Brilliance
Hearing from Junebug readers always makes my day, and Monday I received a fabulous e-mail from Seattle area bride Kelly who said “I love your website! Junebug Weddings has been my best source for ideas and vendors. It’s been my experience that all of the professionals I’ve contracted with demonstrate amazing customer service, great business ethics and have incredible talent.” Hooray! Thanks Kelly! She also sent me a copy of her fantastic save the date […]
Mouth Watering Wedding Inspiration
Style inspiration can come from anywhere, and as a passionate lover of food and drink I am often inspired by culinary colors, shapes, smells, textures, creative flavor combinations and just the pure joy of eating delicious food! Lately I have been happily devouring the ideas and gorgeous images from the blog Matt Bites, written by art director, food photographer and friend of my sister Matt Armendariz. His writing is fun and friendly and his colorful […]
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you are all out there picnic-ing, barbeque-ing, and enjoying the day! I went to a lovely picnic in Volunteer Park last night and was super impressed by the creative and delicious dishes my friends came up with. With my sweet tooth, the standouts for me were Nicole’s cupcake cones (genius!) and Karin’s homemade lavender lemonade. Check out these recipes from Real Simple and Martha Stewart, and consider making […]
White Stripes Wedding
I happen to love a little band called the White Stripes (you may have heard of them) and on Sunday I was lucky enough to get to road trip up to Vancouver, BC to see them play and to visit my friend Ben who is touring with them (see the man in uniform above). The show rocked, we had a blast, and now I love the band even more! On the drive home, visions of […]
