Hi all! Did everyone have a lovely New Year’s? Congrats to all the newly engaged couples out there. My husband proposed to me on New Year’s Eve, three years ago in Paris. Definitely an unforgettable night. As for the blog, I have lots of little resolutions for it and can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store. Today, I’m going to kick off the new year with this gorgeous set of photos from Justina Bilodeau Photography. Hope you like!

Justina did the photography, styling, and florals for this shoot. And she’s got exquisite taste if you ask me. I fell in love with these photos when I first laid eyes on them. The details are stunning, that glassware, the color palette, those linens…amazing.

With that said, I’ve decided to end the year with this post. Go ahead and enjoy this southern wedding with photos by Anna K. Photography.

Hello readers! Winter is just around the corner but I’ve got a spring wedding to show you all today. This wedding takes place in New England. We’re going to head up to Vermont, in fact, to take a look at these wonderful photos by Orchard Cove Photography. The bride and groom picked a beautiful venue, Shelburne Farms, a place I know from my time spent in Vermont’s scenic Lake Champlain area. Have a look for yourself, and happy weekend!

…We wanted the flowers and lighting to highlight the beauty of the location and building. Because the coach barn was built around the turn of the last century we decided to use colors that were appropriate for that time period. The colors were muted and the flowers also went along with that era. We wanted to use deep purples and the rest would be muted tones like sage green, lavender, light pink…

I have a wonderful weekend treat for you all - a stunning intimate shoot by Crystal Stokes Photography. This shoot is full of rich, earthy florals, amazing wedding hair, an antique-style sweetheart table, and of course, a fabulous couple (and their little one!) with a desire to document their love. This is a non-traditional wedding story. And here at Belles & Bubbles, we love things that come with a special and unique twist. So feast your eyes on this set of photos and let yourself swoon for a while!

Holly and Corey began planning their wedding shortly after they got engaged. A surprise came their way when they found out they were pregnant. The couple spent several months trying to figure out whether or not to go through with their wedding plans, but ultimately decided not to have a wedding as they had planned. Instead, they decided to go through with the idea of documenting their love, and therefore set up a shoot for the two of them and their newest member of the family, their baby boy.

Multicultural Wedding in a Brussels Abbey

I absolutely adore the wedding I’m about to share with you. As you may or may not know, one of my favorite specifics of wedding photography is the couple portraits – and this wedding is full of them. It’s also jam-packed with pretty little details like kissing wands, rice and confetti, and gorgeous florals. And also being a North American married to a Belgian, I totally appreciate and love that this couple combined several cultural traditions on their special day.

Wendy and Ben got married on October 11 of this year. Although they live in Canada, they decided to celebrate their wedding in Brussels, Belgium, where Ben is from. Having visited Belgium myself, I can say and agree that Belgium does have a lot to offer. Belgium is famous for their fries, beer, chocolate and wonderful architecture as well. And Ben and Wendy chose some beautiful locations for their wedding day. Their photographs were captured by the talented Dieter of Speaking Through Silence Photography.
