One of my favorite weddings was featured on the lovely blog, Inspired by this!

Jenny + Heath’s Palm Springs Viceroy wedding included yellow, black and white, their adorable doggy Cash and dark blue bridesmaid dresses. Oh and not to mention, Carey Hart and Pink were some of the celebrity guests.

Part 1.

Melanie + Aaron gave me too much to work with! Every part of their wedding was exactly the kind of do-it-yourself style I love. They are photographers themselves, (check out their site here) plus incredibly creative, wonderful human beings. And they have such a great love for each other.

I didn’t want to miss showing you how amazing all the details were from start to finish. Especially since so much love went into making everything either by Melanie + Aaron or their friends and family. You might want to stretch your hands because you’re going to be scrolling down a long time…
