Two Web Belles: Cupid Shuffle

1.  Love this diy LOVE wreath featured on Tatertots and Jello.  It's a little bit country with the gingham ribbon and chunky yarn, and a little bit rock and roll with it's black, white and hot pink color scheme.

2.  Most cities have a public art piece that screams "Take your wedding photos here".  (Philly brides, you know what we're thinking.)  "Cupid's Span" in San Fran makes the perfect backdrop for this group shot. 

3. Knock Knock Studio, this embroidered pillowcase is seriously too cute.  We'd love to see it as a prop for an engagement shoot.  The cases are 400 thread count and can be made in custom colors on request.

4.  These Lovestruck  invitations by Pink Orchid Invites maage to strike the difficult balance between sophistication and whimsy.  The sizeable cupid illustration could be overkill, but with the cream and black color scheme and sleek font choice, it works. 

5.  Real mean wear pink lucite cufflinks.  What an adorable detail, especially against a serious looking straight cut suit.  We wouldn't recommend them for the office, but for a wedding day, what guy doesn't want to wear his heart on his cuff?

Two Web Belles: With a Splash of V-Day

1. We love the muted reds and pinks shown in the details of this Style Me Pretty shoot. The gold/champagne notes really add warmth throughout and create a completely romantic vibe.

2. Here's a dessert table with a mod V-Day color scheme. If you want to have a dessert or candy table, remember to make it your own. Repeating shapes and colors will run a cohesive thread through the myriad sweet treats you opt to display, and switching up display heights will add visual interest.

3. Loving these letterpressed invitations in cardinal red calligraphy from Bella Figura. Classicly simple.

4. Deep reds and purples are boldly used in this wedding. The candles, lighting, and lanterns at the reception? Enchanting!

5. Wedding cake artist extraordinaire Ron Ben-Israel whips up this heart shaped rose petal by petal, and makes it look as easy as frosting cupcakes with a can of Betty Crocker. Roses, hearts, and sugar...isn't that just the Valentine's Day trifecta? Take a look below and be amazed.

Uptown Loft Valentine's Day Wedding

This year for Valentine's Day we put together a modern loft wedding inspiration board. Substituting a sleek gray suit instead of the traditional black keeps the color palate fresh, and the bridesmaids shine in red satin sheath dresses. For the bride, it's simple, a sweetheart neckline with a subtle trumpet flare. The alecnon lace injects a hint of romance along with the feathery white peony bouquet and ruffled deep red centerpieces.
