Another month has gone by and it’s time for our Monthly Round-Up! Since our lineup has been full of V5 features, we’re highlighting our favorite real weddings from both October and November. Emily, Marissa, Kristin and our intern, Alexia are here with their picks!

FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: Gorgeous wedding dresses are never in short supply! Alexia loved the tulle of Hannah’s gown, Marissa (our fashion expert) loved Leigh’s customized Monique Lhuillier dress. Emily might have been reminded of her own wedding dress when she laid eyes on Caroline’s lovely cap-sleeved gown. And for Kristin, it was Blair’s sparkly bubble-hemmed dress that won the vote.

FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: Hannah’s attendees stole Alexia’s heart again! Their aqua and seafoam dresses were fresh and fun. The deep jewel tones and stylish designs of Erin’s bridesmaids were a favorite of Emily’s and Kristin was taken with the preppy navy statements of Lisa’s ‘maids. It was the blush and bashful of Erin’s bridesmaids that Marissa fell in love with.

FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: The pretty flower hair wreath that Hannah donned on her big day was too sweet for Alexia to pass on. Marissa, on the other hand, was taken by the traditional monogrammed dress patch that Kelsey included. Emily was head over heels for Blair’s monogrammed veil and silver hairpiece (who wasn’t?!) and Kristin loved Leigh’s “I Do” Jimmy Choos that were signed by her bridesmaids.

FAVORITE MENSWEAR: Oh, our dapper gents! It was Garjae’s stylish grey suits and gingham bow tie that Kristin couldn’t resist! Those pink ties that his groomsmen donned were adorable, too! Alexia loved the old style and cotton husk boutonniere that Lander rocked. A handsome spin on traditional won Emily and Marissa over, first with Brian’s slim black suits and succulent boutonnieres and then with Brandon’s white dinner jacket.

FAVORITE DETAIL: These weddings are full of thoughtful (and plain pretty) details that we can’t get enough of. Alexia loved the bow tie-adorned bourbon bar at Kelsey + Brandon’s reception and Emily thought the glittery linens at Blair + Brian’s wedding were just the right amount of glam. For Marissa, the Mr. and Mrs. sign at Shannon + Griffin’s wedding was too cute. Kristin thought Michelle + Paul’s picnic reception was the perfect way to celebrate with friends and family.

FAVORITE CEREMONY: Beautiful ceremonies full of carefully crafted vows get to us every time! It was the merry flag setting of Lauren + Jeremy’s ceremony that Emily loved. Kristin thought Blair’s traditional church ceremony was too sweet, while Hannah + Christian’s stage ceremony took Marissa’s vote. For Alexia, the gorgeous tree-lined ceremony of Leigh + Lander was just lovely.

FAVORITE BOUQUET: The cactus pods mixed with fluffy pink blooms in Sarah’s bouquet was the perfect pick for Alexia! Marissa thought the white and glamorous bouquet that Blair carried down the aisle was gorgeous and Kristin was all over the succulent bouquets at Erin + Brian’s wedding. Emily loved the vine and beribboned bouquets carried by Caroline and her ‘maids.

FAVORITE SWEET: Emily was just smitted with the tulle-covered confection at Dianne + Garjae’s wedding. Kristin was taken the the whimsical and flowered cake that Hannah + Christian served. For Marissa, it was the peachy magnolia cake at Blair + Brian’s wedding that was too sweet for words and Alexia chose the preppy pink and navy cake at Lisa + Nick’s wedding.

FAVORITE PHOTO: These photos are too sweet! The happy balloons at Michelle + Paul’s ceremony were a favorite of Marissa’s. The emotional first dance photo from Erin + Brian’s wedding couldn’t be passed by Emily and the anticipation of Lauren + Jeremy’s beach first look won Alexia over. For Kristin, the adorable photo of Hannah and her flower girl was perfectly celebratory.

    We couldn’t agree more!
    Filming with Hannah and Christian (as well as working with them after) was spectacular!
    Maybe we’re a bit biased but I think that is ok too. :- )
    It’s always so great to work with our friends : MOI, BAC, EB Photo, Social Butterfly, Fiore, and all!

If you happened to miss any of the Real Weddings we featured in September, you are both in luck and in for an influx of beautiful and meaningful photos. Ready to pin? Emily, Marissa, our intern Alexia and I are here with the highlights from this past month!

FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: Gorgeous gowns are never hard to spot on the blog! I just loved the soft lines and silver sash of Maconda’s dress. Emily fell for the lace detailing and lovely train that Rachel walked down the aisle in. For Marissa, though, the pink ruffled gown that Alison rocked for her wedding was too good to be true! Alexia adored Lauren’s ruffled and romantic gown.

FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: I was loving Lauren’s choice of navy dresses with the adorable button and keyhole sleeves for her ‘maids. Alexia thought the mixed styles in blue and pink at Lindsay’s wedding were too pretty. Emily adored the pink winter dresses with fur boleros at Marielle’s wedding and Marissa fell for the neutral mix of dresses that Alison let her bridesmaids choose.

FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: Alexia thought Haylee’s fabric flower headband was the perfect addition to her lace reception dress. Our ever-fashionable Marissa just adored the monogrammed fur stole that wrapped Marielle’s shoulders. I fell in love with the vintage lace handkerchief and “something blue” that Geneva carried down the aisle with her and Emily decided that Lindsay’s switch from her white wedding shoes to her monogrammed cowboy boots was just about the best decision we’ve seen!

FAVORITE MENSWEAR: Frank’s black and white wedding attire looked might snappy to Alexia. Also rocking on the suspenders and bow tie was David, whose cotton boutonniere Marissa also loved. I thought the hip chambray shirts that Brent’s groomsmen wore were stylish and fashionable, but it was Fitzlee and his men that stole Emily’s vote with their white dinner jackets.

FAVORITE DETAIL: It was so hard to narrow down the fun details we saw this month! Finally we came to a decision, with Emily choosing Liz + Josh’s vibrant and juicy fruit centerpieces. I thought Meghan + David’s vintage hankies as food bibs was brilliant and Alexia adored Lauren + Justin’s unique monogram guest book. For Marissa (and me, too), Kelly + Will’s puggy Rosie took the cake.

FAVORITE CEREMONY: Lovely ceremonies and cute love stories weren’t hard to come by. I thought Alison + Brent’s stage-like setup and billowing drapes were dreamy. Emily loved the dramatic and picturesque winter ceremony of Marielle + Michael. Alexia thought Lindsay + Jonathan’s prayer circle was oh-so-sweet and Marissa couldn’t help but fall for the beautiful vineyard “I do’s” of Amber + Jon.

FAVORITE BOUQUET: Emily was a big fan of Liz’s slightly wild-shaped pink and green bouquet with it’s burlap wrap. I adored the bright colors and bits of fern in Kelly’s blooms. For Marissa, it was the sweet rose and baby’s breath bouquet at Sara + Justin’s wedding that won her vote. Alexia loved the colors and uncommon additions to Emily’s bouquet.

FAVORITE SWEET: We’ve all got quite a sweet tooth. Marissa, not always the fan of cake, was immediately a fan of Amber + Jon’s pumpkin pie! I wanted to dig right into the buttercream and raspberry cake at Haylee + Frank’s wedding. Emily adored the preppy and striped cake that Lauren + Justin served and for Alexia, it was Rachel + Stephen’s peony-adorned tiers that took her vote.

FAVORITE PHOTO: Marissa loved the cute pre-ceremony portraits that Kelly + Will took and Alexia loved Marielle’s sweet moment with her family. For Emily and me, Maconda + Sacha’s and Rachel + Stephen’s loving embraces were too good to pass.

    I love the unique guestbook monogram idea. Do you know where it was ordered from?

Happy September, y’all! The beginning of the month always means a Real Wedding round-up. Take a look at Emily’s, Marissa’s and my favorite things from August’s weddings. We’re also happy to introduce our intern, Alexia, who is joining us with her picks!

FAVORITE WEDDING DRESS: Bride Lauren chose her dress not just because it’s beautiful, but because it made her feel comfortable. Isn’t that what we all want? It’s enough for it to top my list. Alexia loved the slim-fitting lace gown that Bonnie donned at her North Carolina wedding. Emily was perfectly smitten with the unique and flowing gown that Kelsey wore. Nicole’s backless dress instantly knocked Marissa off her feet.

FAVORITE BRIDESMAID DRESS: We think it’s hard to go wrong with full length black dresses. Marissa loved the way Melanie’s ‘maids looked in them. Emily adored the pretty blue dresses that Nicole’s gals wore and I thought Kelsey’s pink bridesmaid dresses were too fun. Alexia thought the softer pink frocks that Bonnie’s ladies wore were lovely.

FAVORITE FEMALE ACCESSORY: Alexia and Marissa agree, glitter and sparkles win! For them, Liz’s shoes and Bonnie’s bridal accessories were perfection. I thought Emily’s yellow wedding shoes were an adorable addition to her gown. Emily loved Alise’s fluffy lace-trimmed veil.

FAVORITE MENSWEAR: The men at Xaviera + Chris’s wedding were nothing short of well-dressed. I loved their black and grey suits and sweet succulent and rose boutonnieres. Marissa fell for the dress blues that Jake donned on the big day. Alexia couldn’t get enough of the dapper gingham-wearing gents at Caitlyn + John’s wedding. Emily thought the Evan’s groomsmen looked cool and casual.

FAVORITE DETAIL: We are never short of amazing details on the blog. This month was particularly hard to narrow down. Marissa was a fan of Xaviera + Chris’s altar setup, with beautiful draping and a floral cross. Alexia (our resident glitter queen), couldn’t get enough of the glittery place cards at Bonnie + Armon’s tables. We’re sure that the glittery linens at Melanie + Joe’s reception have a reserved spot in Emily’s heart forever. I just loved the sweet printed dinner napkins and rosemary-adorned place settings at Emily + Chester’s reception. Not only was it beautiful, but it was sweet and sentimental. All of us agreed that Alise + Conor’s chair decorations topped the list! Beautiful, sweet and Johnny Cash? Win.

FAVORITE CEREMONY: Alise + Conor’s beautiful church ceremony won Alexia’s heart. I thought Ali + Austin’s front porch I do’s were sweet and lovely. Marissa loved the Southern outdoor ceremony that Emily + Morgan created and Emily adored the lakeside vows of Katie + Mike.

FAVORITE BOUQUET: The wildly shaped fun and colorful bouquets at Caitlyn + John’s wedding were a favorite for Alexia. Emily was crazy about Kelsey’s pink bouquet with its sweet blue ribbon wrap. I loved the pretty purple bouquet that Madeline carried down the aisle and Marissa was a fan of Xaviera’s white blooms paired with textured leaves.

FAVORITE SWEET: We had some yummy treats in this month’s Real Weddings! I thought Katie + Mike’s pink flower cake was adorable. Emily just loved the strawberry pies on each table at Lauren + Jake’s wedding. Alexia picked Bonnie + Armon’s burlap-adorned sweets table and Marissa chose the ribbon-backed table at Nicole + Rob’s reception.

FAVORITE PHOTO: I love ending with our favorite photos. Alexia thought Nicole + Rob’s post-ceremony kiss was lovely. Emily immediately fell for the sweet photo of Ali and her dad at their father-daughter dance. Marissa loved the fun trampoline-goers at Lauren + Jake’s wedding. I adored the sparkler-framed kiss that Ali + Austin shared at the end of the night.
