We can't get enough of Francine and Jon's modern wedding celebration - brimming with all sorts of glitz and glam. The vibrant purple color palette definitely set the tone for a fabulous and fun affair. Everything from the bouquet and cupcakes, to the shoes and floral arrangements were so chic and complementary of each other.

Although sharing several mutual friends, Megan Sontum and Robert Liljedahl were introduced completely by chance. Their first meeting, as a matter of fact, was a result of "Find the Cutest Boy at the Bar," a game Megan and her friends were playing on that fateful evening. Megan initially spoke with one of Bob's friends, but had her eyes set on her future husband the whole time. Eventually, with the aid of some of Bob's pals, the two got to talking and finally, phone numbers were exchanged.

We love bright, bold, and unique color palettes and encourage our readers to embrace vibrant colors no matter what time of year they're holding their wedding. This wedding incorporated a lot of colors that you wouldn't think go together, when in actuality, they all blend to create a vividly bright and colorful scene. Taking a chance with bold colors often pays off - your celebration will instantly have a great energetic vibe - but make sure you speak to your floral designer or even coordinator before choosing colors that are totally out there.

We simply love this beautiful wedding from Andy Duback Photography! Victoria and Rich's October wedding soiree took place at the Timbers, in Sugarbush, a great venue for their intimate celebration of only 60 guests. The flowers are gorgeous, we especially love the Autumn-inspired color palette. Simple, sweet, and pretty - what's not to love?

Rebecca and Brendan met each other on the first day of graduate school when they both began their studies in the Higher Education Masters program. The connection between the two of them was immediate and the two students began to date soon after becoming friends. Together, they toured western Massachusetts and enjoyed all that the New England town had to offer, visiting local brewpubs and restaurants and bars in the area. It was during their first weekend visit to Boston that Rebecca and Brendan knew that they were "meant to be" as they say themselves.
