We had the honor of assisting Lisa and Bill with their sparkling winter wonderland contemporary wedding – they selected an urban setting with Holy Ghost Church as their ceremony, and the Magnolia Ballroom as their reception backdrop.

The Magnolia ballroom was set with glittering silver tabletops, and silver branches in mirrored vases. Purple and pink lighting greeted guests, and the bride’s paper details were shining!

This is an example of a very classic and tailored wedding with a little spunk and flair. A understated elegance and pure style…Don’t you just LOVE the peacock element?

I found this gorgeous wedding gown by Pricilla of Boston from my favorite collection “Vineyard”

THE Dress can be different for everybody. It can be long, lacy, pouffy, sleek, white, ivory… maybe even aqua blue chiffon if that’s what suits you. But out of allllll the beautiful wedding dresses out there to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming trying to pick just one! Here, Priscilla of Boston has created a profile quiz to help you narrow down your own style and therefore make the wedding gown shopping a little easier as well. Going in with some ideas of what makes you feel like you will help oodles when searching through all that silk, tulle, taffeta and lace (and even the aqua blue chiffon).

We were sent this feature on LIFE magazine online, reviewing how people were married in the past. Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the article:

In 1958, a student tries on a gown for her wedding – doesn’t this look like Kleinfeld’s?

Dancers sprinkle petals on the aisle before a wedding, 1951. And we thought the couple boogeying down the aisle with their wedding party was original!
