Well, you are in luck, because I happen to have a stunning 40's styled engagement shoot on a vintage train in NYC. This beauty is the product of the amazing photo team at <a href="http://www.photomuse.com/index2.php#/home/">Photomuse</a> and the killer styling skills of Jacqueline from <a href="http://mercinewyork.blogspot.com/">Merci New York</a> (a must read blog if it isn't already on your list!)<br />

I went to school there at SCAD and fell in love with the city. So when Nicole sent me her bridal portraits, taken by fellow SCAD grad <a href="http://www.annadriverbishop.com/">Anna Driver-Bishop</a>, I knew I just had to share! Plus, Nicole is so beautiful and glowing in these photos, its hard not to be charmed!<br />

Why not cover it in a blanket of flowers? It is modern here, but can also be done very romantic and vintage. Plus, it really helps the cake stand out and shine! Love this idea!<br />

It is a tree filled overlook in the mountains and could not be more gorgeous! When you throw in a stunning bride and a vibrant bouquet, this wedding had amazing written all over it. The lovely photos come from <a href="http://jason-g.com/">Jason G</a>.<br />
<br />
Here are so details from the bride Jandee:<br />
<i>We wanted the wedding to be more of a weekend event rather than just one day. For most of our guests this was a destination wedding, so we wanted to have it somewhere that would provide a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of rooms. A colleague suggested Rockledge Country Inn and we were immediately attracted to its charming atmosphere and beautiful Colorado craftsmanship. We were able to rent out the entire house for the wedding party and rented Onaledge, which is another home the B&B owners have, for family. They were within 20 feet of each other so it was very easy for everyone to be together for the long weekend. </i><br />

<i>We made our own wine for the wedding at D'Vine wine in Manitou Springs. The whole process was so fun and interesting. They really took the time to explain why we were doing what throughout the couple of months that it took to make. We ended up renting the space out for our rehearsal dinner. Everyone loved being able to see where we took the time to make the wine at.</i><br />

<i>Seeing the whole thing come together was a lot of fun. If I had to pick my favorite it would have to be the first dance. Shane and I spent months and a lot of money taking dance lessons to prepare. We had this whole routine, which once we got out there, went out the window! We ended up just doing our own thing and it was perfect.</i><br />

To kick start the week leading up to the redesign launch, Glamour and Grace has teamed up with <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/registry/?bnrid=3185101&cm_ven=Halogen&cm_cat=Registry&cm_pla=GlamourandGrace&cm_ite=sponsoredpost">Williams-Sonoma</a> again for a fabulous $150 Gift Card Giveaway! It's really hard not to love Williams-Sonoma! It is the primo place to go for all the best kitchen tools and gourmet cookware. Here are my top picks for the basics, the baker, the entertainer, and a few things just for fun.<br />
<br />
I know when I got married, one of my favorite gifts was a $200 gift card to Williams-Sonoma. I had a field day in my local store, and these top two items are my favorite buys, and the two items I use the most. A Le Creuset skillet is a must! Seriously the best pan I have ever used, plus I love the bright colors that add some pop to the kitchen. This wooden spatula is the greatest thing ever! I had searched for one like it for 2 years and I am in love with it. It is like half spatula and half spoon, and is perfect for filling tacos!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3xu9LbSr7J4/TWm9pZaQ2dI/AAAAAAAADF4/BArw3KTM9CY/s1600/Basics.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3xu9LbSr7J4/TWm9pZaQ2dI/AAAAAAAADF4/BArw3KTM9CY/s1600/Basics.png" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Littledeer Pan Paddle | Le Creuset Fry Pan, 10" | Le Creuset Classic Round Dutch Oven | Acacia Cutting Board</div><div style="text-align: center;">Williams-Sonoma Striped Dishcloth | Wüsthof Culinar 7" Santoku</div><br />
Anyone who enjoys a little baking should have a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. It changed my life, and I'm sure it will change yours. Now, I don't have this rolling pin, but I have had my eye on it for quite a while. It has little rings to adjust the thickness, making it so much easier to know when you've gotten your crust to 1/4" like the recipe says.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-l3MPx9hdTj8/TWm9sqtsLRI/AAAAAAAADF8/w8GxZx0V0Ko/s1600/Baker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-l3MPx9hdTj8/TWm9sqtsLRI/AAAAAAAADF8/w8GxZx0V0Ko/s1600/Baker.png" /></a></div><br />

If you enjoy entertaining, this gorgeous decanter is sure to be a show stopper. The chic fluid lines make this piece really unique. On the sweet side, I love this cute wired cupcake stand. Perfect for a bridal shower, or any party.<br />
<br />

These last few are just for fun. I thought this bird lemon juicer was pretty much the cutest thing ever. Also, who wouldn't want their own little crêpe maker? Sounds like dessert set for life to me!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ng3LM2ADdFw/TWm8LywcLQI/AAAAAAAADFw/0y7qSCBo8pA/s1600/JustForFun.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ng3LM2ADdFw/TWm8LywcLQI/AAAAAAAADFw/0y7qSCBo8pA/s1600/JustForFun.png" /></a></div><br />

So when <a href="http://kristensteelephotography.com/">Kristen Steele</a> sent this lovely inspiration shoot over, I got giddy with excitement! It's all those good things I love and more! My favorite detail? The adorable bow tied place settings, just too cute and chic for me to handle!<br />

Family members were able to pitch in to help with food and music. Her mother's watercolor was the invitation art. This wedding was all about everyone coming together to have a great time. The couple even kept it fun for the kids with pizza and glow sticks. And if you want a beautiful wedding, it doesn't hurt having a few darling flower girls either. The lovely photos come from the one and only <a href="http://www.melissamcfadden.com/">Melissa McFadden</a>.<br />
<br />
From the sweet bride Michelle:<br />
<i>The most important things were for people to come over to Walla Walla because it was a destination for all of our friends so we planned the gold day we hired a bus and we choose our favorite wineries. We planned every detail of our wedding most of the supplies were off Craig's List our biggest things were the ambiance and we really wanted people to stay and dance!</i><br />

<i>Some special things about our wedding were my dad played the violin during the procession and in the ceremony. My mother's watercolor painting was featured on our wedding invitations, so many details went in to make this our day and very customized. We took dance lessons at Arthur Murray and learned to Salsa so I changed dresses to a BCBG so everyone could see our moves. We choose By Your Side by Sade. It was amazing and we love everything about it! </i><br />

<i>My father and god father made some of the food we served and I spent months making the tissue pompom balls that were hung in all the trees. My husband knows I love twinkle lights so we spent the week before hanging them along wire and around all the trees checking them daily to make sure nothing went out. The last couple things I made were the letter "H" on the table for gifts and cards covered in moss, the Mad Libs guest book we asked people to fill out and the baggies with labels for our candy bar.</i><br />

<i>My favorite part of our wedding day, we actually broke all the traditional rules and spend the night before the wedding together at a B&B (Abeja winery) and in the morning we got up relaxed and ate the amazing breakfast they provided outside so we had time together on "our" big day. Best thing we did!</i><br />

You can still have a down home feel without getting too cliche with the country feel. I love this old wagon wheel as an escort card holder. It is a lovely and unexpected detail. This lush bouquet is rustic chic perfection. Some simple white streamers add a lot of charm with very little work. And for the first time ever on Glamour and Grace, a pair of cowboy boots are just what this rustic bride needs! They are comfy and great for getting out in a field for some gorgeous photos.<br />

This couple is so in love, you can't help but smile when you see them together. Plus it's shot by one of my favorite photography duos, Justin & Mary, so what's not to love?<br />
<br />
The lovely Julie shares:<br />
<i>First of all, our wedding day was amazing. Our photographers - We absolutely love Justin and Mary's style, so we knew that we wanted them to shoot our wedding as soon as we got engaged. In fact, while planning the wedding we used their blog for inspiration. </i><br />

<i>We had the ceremony outdoors in a vineyard so the main color was green, but we added white accents (the chairs, columns, and flowers), as well as some navy blue (the ribbons on the flower baskets) since that was our main wedding color. I didn't want an arch, so we worked with our florist to come up with beautiful but cost-effective displays that wouldn't take away from the natural beauty of the vineyard.</i><br />

<i>The ceremony was beautiful, and we feel like the pictures literally got every angle and every detail we could have wished for. Justin was taking pictures from relatively close-up, while Mary and Alison were taking them from further away. As soon as the ceremony ended, Justin & Mary "whisked" us away for a few "just married" pictures - and those are definitely some of our favorite ones! We headed down to the wine cellar for a few pics and then took our family and formal pictures. Then everyone went and had a good time at the reception. Overall, I don't think there is anything that we would have done differently!</i><br />

<i>For the reception, our vendors really did most of the work. We worked with the florist to come up with centerpieces that we liked, had our food tasting with the restaurant, and then had (several!) wine tastings to figure out what wines we wanted served at the reception. Rhea at the Ginny Lee Cafe made sure that the tables were laid out exactly how we wanted, and everything went according to plan.</i><br />

<i>The best part I think is that since we chose to get married at a vineyard, we get to go back there as often as we'd like. We were actually there this past weekend, we both stood quietly and looked over the (now snow covered) grape vines and recollected our wedding day six months ago.</i><br />

Worried about addressing your envelopes? I'm in love with <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ampersandity">Ampersandity</a>'s calligraphy return address stamps. A simple and chic was to get an elegant look without having to have them all hand written by a calligrapher. Bonus: you can use it well after the wedding to keep up with your stylish letter giving.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A favorite trend of mine in the invitation world is using vintage stamps! It is such a great way to add a little personality to your outer envelop. A great shop to pick these up at is <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/VerdeStudio">Verde Studio</a>. I love them because they coordinate their stamps into sets, matching colors and themes to make it much easier to find what you are looking for.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This couple is modern and fun, but they are contrasted with this vibrant yellow forest backdrop. Creating contrasts is a unique and easy way to set your engagement shoot apart with little need for props.<br />

It just feels so crisp and the perfect compliment to a Spring day. I was inspired by this simple and stunning tulip bouquet with the sweet striped ribbon. Some charming print fans help tame the heat and make cute programs too. Burlap and lace are musts for any rustic chic wedding. I love these quick chair covers and dainty lace detailing on the vases. Both are easy DIY ideas. You all know how I love a bow tied groom. This one looks so dapper with his patterned tie and flower boutonniere. And of course I have fallen in love with yet another J. Crew gown. This beauty is so modern and elegant and perfection paired with these killer heals.<br />

And boy, this one does not disappoint. It doesn't get much better than a sweet winter wedding filled with romantic purples and dreamy snowscapes. Even with unexpected snow storm that had this couple searching for a new officiant the day before, Katie and Luke had a gorgeous day with wonderful memories.<br />
<br />
Here are some details from the lovely Katie:<br />
<i>Our wedding was January 30th at the Fearrington House in Pittsboro, North Carolina. We were married in their garden terrace, a beautiful enclosed space with a large stone fireplace, and had our reception in the on-site barn. When we chose January 30th as our wedding day, snow was honestly not a serious consideration in our minds. We live in North Carolina, and significant snowstorms are a rare event. As our luck would have it, the snow began failing heavily during our rehearsal dinner the night before. By morning, we had a lovely, deep blanket. </i><br />

<i>When we were planning our wedding, we knew location and photography were two of our top priorities. We couldn’t have been happier with the Fearrington House. Their event planning staff took care of a lot of the logistics, and gave us real peace of mind throughout the process. Needless to say, The Schultzes were wonderful photographers. Like all of our vendors, they took the weather in stride and made sure we had incredible memories of our day. </i><br />

<i>I stayed by myself at my house the night before our wedding, so I began the day digging my car out from under the snow. That is a memory I won’t soon forget! Because North Carolina does not often get that kind of weather, some of our out-of-town guests were not able to attend. While we missed their presence, the smaller-than anticipated guest list created an intimate atmosphere that actually turned into an amazing day. We really focused on the essential elements of the day: we were there, we had someone to marry us (we had to find a new officiant the day before because ours got stuck in Tennessee on the front end of the snowstorm), and we were surrounded by loved ones. </i><br />

A little bit of gold leafing can go a long way. Consider using it on something ordinary to up the chic level. Using fruits in wedding decor, like pears, pomegranates and pumpkins, has become pretty popular. Make yours unique and unexpected by using gold leaf. A simple buttercream cake gets a glam makeover with some edible gold paint. And you can easily DIY gold mercury glass by adding in a little gold leaf. It is a simple and chic update that will add loads of style without loads of effort.<br />

In honor of this day of love, I thought I'd share something sweet for this week's Etsy Find. Enter <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetLydias">Sweet Lydia's</a> and her delicious gourmet s'mores. These aren't just any old campfire s'mores. With tasty flavors like carmel, peanut butter, and raspberry, these are a chic version of the comfort food classic. They would be such a cute and unexpected favor at any wedding. The perfect late night treat for your guests to take home. Cause who wouldn't love to end the night with a gooey gourmet s'more?<br />

You can do a Valentine's wedding, without it being overly Valentine-ish. I love this more subtle and charming take on the day of love. Some simple red flowers and delicious treats will do the trick. I am in love with this darling ruffle cake! Add in these heart shaped cookies and silhouette sugar cubes, and everyone is in for a sweet treat. This polka dot bow tie is a must for any Valentine's groom. For the gown, abandon the wedding dress white for this blush tone stunner. This beauty is so fabulous, I don't think anyone would blame you!<br />

Something about the neatly organized repetition of lamp posts just appeals to the design side of me. Apparently it is in LA, which means I must now go visit. It is a fun and unique location that doesn't need any props or themes, and has never looked better than through the lens of <a href="http://www.mateihorvath.com/">Matei Horvath</a>. This gorgeous and adorable couple also snapped a few shots by the pier. Am I the only one loving how the pier posts mimic the lamp posts from the other venue? Yes, my artistic design side is very pleased with this shoot, very pleased indeed!<br />

Today's is chock full of sweet rustic charm and darling details. The bride, Ariane, summed up planning a small budget wedding perfectly: "<i>Even though our budget was small, I knew I had to pay attention to the details to make the event seem bigger than it was</i>." This is exactly what you should do when planning a budget wedding. Even the smallest of details have a big impact on the overall look and on your guests.<br />
<br />
From the lovely Ariane:<br />
<i>Ethan's Aunt and Uncle own a beautiful home in Swampscott, Massachusetts and offered to host the wedding in their backyard as soon as they heard about the engagement. We couldn't resist, since it is such a gorgeous space and the free price fit into our very small budget. Ethan and I had talked a lot about how we wanted the wedding day to go. We were uncomfortable with spending lots of money on just one day and we knew we could make it special in our own way without a large budget. I'm a fairly crafty person and with the help of our talented friends and family, we were able to pull off the perfect vintage, backyard wedding on a tiny budget. The wedding day turned out to be more beautiful than I had imagined.</i> <br />

<i>Our wedding was completely DIY. My mom and I found Martha Stewart printable invitations at Michael's on sale - 100 invitations, envelopes, RSVP cards and envelopes for $20.00. I designed the invitations and hand stamped a design on each one. I also designed, the menus, programs, and save the date cards myself. I made 100 tissue paper pom decorations thanks to a Martha Stewart craft idea, hand painted the table numbers, and hand stamped the tags on the mason jars we used for glasses. Even though our budget was small, I knew I had to pay attention to the details to make the event seem bigger than it was. The last thing I wanted was to make the day seem cheap. Little details make your event special and memorable for everyone. The rest of the decorations were things we found at yard sales or already owned. Making everything myself got stressful at times and we jokingly called the wedding our "huge mistake."</i><br />

<i>It truly was a family affair. Ethan's brother is a chef and cooked most of the food we served which revolved around a backyard cookout theme. Ethan's mom baked all of our pies and desserts including gluten free and vegan options for our friends with food allergies. We bought flowers at the whole sale flower show in Boston and my friend Rebecca made the flower arrangements using blue mason jars we bought at a vintage store. My mom is an artist and quilter and hand sewed our chuppah, which meant so much to us since the chuppah represents the home the couple is building together. </i><br />

<i>We had a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony and a not so traditional reception. Our immediate families gathered around the chuppah with us as we said our vows. It was such a joyous occasion and everyone was radiating love. Our fantastic photographer, Lauren Piper, captured all of the wonderful moments of that day. She really caught the mood and the vintage feel of the wedding. We had all of our closest family and friends with us to celebrate as we became husband and wife. It was a perfect day. I think it was so special because we had all worked so hard to make it happen - I know I put in plenty of blood, sweat and tears into the day.</i><br />

I love spring weddings with some sweet rustic charm. Mixing patterns is an easy way to bring in a bit of country chic. A bounty of fresh flowers adds sunny cheer. Serving up a few tasty tarts and pies in lieu of cake is always a delicious option. And I am a huge fan of the vintage key escort cards. It is always sweet and unexpected. I love this cute flower bracelet by Alexis Bittar, its the perfect accessory for a spring wedding.<br />

They are so simple and sweet, overflowing with love. I'm obsessed with the gorgeous light and her long flowing veil! And can I just say, I really have the most beautiful brides. Alison is simply breathtaking in these shots!<br />

The bride, Alison, wore her grandmother's wedding gown that she had been saving just for her. I love when couples take time to honor family to create something really special. It makes the memories just that much sweeter!<br />
<br />
This one is so gorgeous, thanks to the super talented <a href="http://www.justinmarantz.com/">Justin & Mary</a>, I had to split it up into two parts. Up first is the wedding, and later today I will show you the amazing portraits. I will let Alison share all the charming details.<br />
<br />
From the stunning bride, Alison:<br />
<i>When Matt and I started planning our wedding, we knew we really cared about four things: that the ceremony be meaningful, that the music get people on the dance floor, that the food be good, and that we have great photos to remember it with. Basically we wanted a fun party and we wanted our guests to enjoy themselves as much as we did. And based on everything we hear (and what we see in photos), I would have to say we accomplished that.</i><br />

<i>I decided quickly that I would wear my Nana’s wedding gown as my “something old.” My mother’s mother, who passed away just a couple of weeks ago (making this that much harder to write), had recently celebrated her and my grandfather’s 65th wedding anniversary when we got engaged, and both Matt and I look to my grandparents as a marriage we would love to emulate – people still very much in love at 90. Nana’s dress had been packed away since 1942 and she offered it to me as soon as I got engaged – said it was “waiting” for me. It should be noted I am not the first of her grandchildren to get married. It was silver and long sleeve – and weighed a ton. We decided I would cut off the sleeves wear this for the ceremony and find something else for the reception because, as explained best by my grandmother: I asked “How do you dance in this thing,” “You don’t, dear.” In order to incorporate the dress further in the wedding, I had the sleeves cut into strips and the girls’ bouquets—including mine—wrapped in them. I also </i><i>carried down the aisle a Bible that has been passed down in my </i><i>father's family since the 1800s. Each woman who gets married carries </i><i>it down the aisle and then signs it. Its amazing to see the generation </i><i>of women on the pages of that book.</i><br />

<i>In order to honor Matt’s father, we chose not to have the men wear boutonnieres but instead wear simple white pocket squares, as Matt does every day to the office and as his father did for years while he was alive.</i><br />

<i>Some of my favorite memories of the day are before anything really got going. My grandmother was able to travel east from Arizona for the wedding and hung out with the girls as we took over a salon in a neighboring town getting our hair and makeup done. It was a truly special time with her; even more special in the last few weeks. The other moments were doing a “first look” with Matt, which gave us a private moment before it all “got going” and let us reflect on what we were entering into.</i><br />

<i>We found the Inn and Longshore pretty quickly in our planning process—having grown up in Westport, it was one of the few places in the area I knew of that would hold a big group and let us get married outside. After being mildly concerned about how our color scheme of pewter/silver, purple and white (Nana’s dress and a bouquet featured on the front of a magazine gave us our color scheme of silver, purple, and white), was going to look with a gold and ivory room, my mother (who owns a special events marketing company) took over and arranged for the chairs to be covered and new tablecloths, as well as some uplighting around the room to give it more of a glow. She was one helpful mother of the bride! Matt and I were both in awe of how beautifully it all came together with our simple centerpieces of low flowers and high candles.</i><br />
