Mason jars: seen it. Wine bottles: been there done that. Apothecary bottles: tell me more! We love the idea of using old glassware with beautiful colors, simple labels, sleek shapes that you could find in an apothecary shop to decorate your beautiful setting. What once held potions and lotions and herbs and spices can be vases for flowers and vessels for treats to make your wedding truly spectacular and oh so fresh and new.

Pretty little bottles filled with dainty stems can be placed here and there around your tables for a bright and airy feel

You can create your own labels to personalize these colorful glass bottles. Put your names, wedding date, and wedding venue on these vintage stickers, or a sweet personal thank you note and fill the bottles with candies for your guests to take home.

While the dainty little bottles look good scattered around, these larger ones look amazing in one big cluster. Each one is still simply fitted with only a few stems, but the look of the varying shades of blues filled with white blooms really create a beautiful focal point (Image via Celebrations At Home by Pobke Photography)

Listen up, brides! Take a cue from the runways and steal the season’s hottest trend…neon! Don’t be overwhelmed, this isn’t a look only for the bold and daring. Here’s the key to remembering the Lovely way to incorporate this roaring craze into your big day: a minimal clean slate with splashes of highlighter!

Summer is slowly winding down, and with the onset of fall comes one of our favorite times…back to school! While many of us have been out of school for a while, there’s just something so nostalgic about the smell of new textbooks, the memorizing of your class schedules, and of course, the shopping for new school clothes! We think a fall wedding to the tune of a school theme would be an ideal way to spell out your I Dos to your sweetheart.

Prep school blazers and sexy nerd glasses, just the way to get into the school spirit and class up your bridal look!

It might be hard to believe, but on our last trip out West we discovered a wedding gem hiding right in the middle of Fisherman’s Wharf. The Fishermen’s and Seamen’s Memorial Chapel is located across from Pier 45 and overlooks the boat basin, erected in tribute to all those who have worked the docks and battled the sea. The chapel’s campanile houses a bell that was crafted in 1860 and above the front doors is a breathtaking stained-glass window. We would love to see a beaming couple married here. Of course, it would be totally perfect for an engagement photo shoot, too. We can already envision a couple posing beneath the stained-glass, ringing the bell, and standing on the dock looking out at the water. So simple, so lovely!

oh, WOW! I’m not sure words are needed to describe the beauty of this bride’s Oscar de la Renta gown. It’s definitely not just a dress, it is a GOWN. The intricate beading and embroidery are beyond stunning. We highly suggest staring for a long long time to soak in all the gorgeous details. The bride must have been on cloud nine while standing in the sunset in her unforgettable wedding dress. We absolutely love the juxtaposition of high fashion and a rustic vineyard.
