Great wedding - the bride is gorgeous! Love the bold flowers.

Oh I know this couple! Love the pictures!

Love this wedding, the colors are fab!

I just met this couple a month ago! What a gorgeous wedding!

good information

I love the use of the big field and the barn in the background for the photos. The floral bouquets are beautiful.

I agree - stunning wedding!! The photographer really captured the true essence of this couples day!

I was just talking about this the other day! I think for me the hardest part will be that I will miss talking to my vendors all the time - they are such rock stars :)

Great advice!

This was a great read. Wedding planning and all the excitement around getting married can consume both the bride and groom-to-be! Thanks for sharing...

I am totally going through this right now! I just got married on June 12th- and this is the first week back to work...not fun :(. I am going to missing the whole planning process- maybe I will help others with their wedding!!

I agree that you should focus on the positives. It is not very often that a wedding goes off without a snag or two (or way more!) but the wedding is not just about the beauty and glam of the perfect event - it is about the two of you dedicating your lives to each other. No matter how many things go wrong - I am sure you made enough positive memories to hold onto!

How about a "Snickers" cupcake - devil's food cake with chocolate chips inside, topped with peanut butter frosting - I'll take 2 dozen for myself!!

I would do anything for a chocolate cupcake filled with gewy caramel, topped with chocolate buttercream icing and a sprinkle of sea salt. It's the cupcake version of my favorite cookie.

Yum, what a sweet concept – build your own cupcake! My idea would be to make a cannoli cupcake: a vanilla base, ricotta filling/frosting with a dip of chocolate chips and pistachios on top. A sugar wafer coin would look adorable sitting on the top. Delicous!

Great ideas so far! I'm getting really hungry...

Chocolate Caramel Crunch - chocolate cupcake, caramel frosting, a drizzle of chocolate and crunchy chocolate pearls on top

Pumpkin cupcake with a cream cheese-type frosting topped with brown sugar candied walnuts.

The "Live-it-up-cake" -- A vanilla cupcake filled with a creamy cheesecake filling, topped with raspberry cream frosting and red & white sprinkles. Perfect for a bachelorette party for the girls to celebrate with!

The "Honeymoon Cupcake": a dark chocolate cupcake filled with raspberry filling, then topped with chocolate ganache, chopped hazelnuts, and a drizzle of honey topping. Garnished with a fondant heart.

A delish aphrodisiac!

How about a spicy/sweet cupcake? Like chipotle dark chocolate cake with a lime cream cheese frosting?

I'd love a s'mores cupcake. Dark chocolate cupcake with marshmallow frosting, sprinkled with crushed graham crackers and garnished with a graham cracker triangle. Omnomnom!

I'm not entering the contest, but I just wanted to say that the cupcakes at Mix Bakery look soooo yummy!!!! Good Luck Beantown Bride picking a winner. :)

Cheesecake cupcake with cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberries!!

The comments are delicious!! :-) I'm going to have to say KRISTEN is the winner! The s'mores got me Kristen, as I have a bag of massive marshmallow's sitting on my desk that I keep chomping on!! Happy Wedding Planning!!

And...ladies, stay tuned for Friday's giveaway!!

Hooray! Thank you! :)

Very romantic - beautiful bride! Love the flowers and the green bridesmaid dresses!

I love the green dresses too- and how they brought that color in different ways.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this wedding. Beautiful!

NINA, this is a fabulous Boston wedding - thanks for the comment! Hey, followers look out for Nina as guest blogger from http://weddingbellesonline.com/ on our blog - coming soon ;-)

So sweet and romantic - love it!

Very elegant, but very warm and loving.
A phenomenal affair for a phenomenal couple!
...and you didn't even mention the fire boat fountain in the harbor.

I see ducklings: the top circle represents the head, with the beak point out. The bottom circle represents their body complete with cute tail feathers sticking up!

Those earrings are BEAUTIFUL. They remind me of winter here in Boston - when all the trees are covered in ice and have a magical quality to them.

They are very soft and could complement any wedding hairstyle - I would love to wear them on my special day!

The jewelry reminds me of vintage heirlooms my grandmother used to wear. I recognize these visuals in old photographs I have of her. Because I was very young when she passed away, I never had the opportunity to ever see or hold these pieces. It would be wonderful to be able to wear one of Heather Wang's pieces in memory of my grandmother.

STUNNING! These earrings remind me of rosebuds... tightly curled r petals, ready to open in gorgeous blooms!

I am going to leave a comment just to say how much I love Heather! She also makes insane, and I mean *insane* engagement/wedding rings. I have a couple pairs of her earrings and she designed a ring for me which is so incredible and I get compliments on it every day. These lace earrings are so beautiful, and I love how everything she does has a little natural element. Gorgeous!

These earrings are fantastic, it is amazing how something that looks so delicate can make such a statement! These earrings resemble the spokes of a bicycle! My fiancé and I are avid bikers, and these earrings look like a bike in motion, something that catches your eye.

These earrings remind me of a simpler time when dressing up and going out for tea with your "lady friends" was a treasured event. It's hard to believe that something so delicate is made of metal. The detail give them the illusion of weightlessness. In short, I love them and have to have them. Just noticed they are on sale.

These are so unique and beautiful!

they remind me of my wedding gown. It was head to toe lace and I looked liked a giant doily.....a hot, glamorous doily!!

There's a simplistic elegance reflected in lace that echoes true through today. There's something oh-so-Audrey; distinguished like Olivia de Halvilland; poised like Greta Garbo and saucy like Marilyn Monroe encapsulated in these delicate earrings. My best friend, an actress and acting coach, will be getting married within the next few months and aside from the silverscreen sirens of decades past, these earrings are so now, so Alexandra.

I love these earring too. They remind me of the roses that use to climb up the side of my Grandmother's garden shed. As a child, I used to love sitting underneath these climbing roses and pretend I was in my own secret garden. What a stunning piece, that is a reminder of my youth.

My first thought when I saw them was a grandmother's tablecloth! They're just lovely!

I love the organic yet glam feeling of these. I love that they're delicate but still super noticeable and unique!

These are very vintage, but with a SASSY kick to them! So cute and very sexy! Love it looks most like damask print to me, which is so in right now! Love it, have to have it!

these remind me of a beautiful flower that has just unfolded and is rising to the sun yet covered by tiny dew drops that glisten in the sunlight almost as if it was dipped in diamonds

MELISSA is the winner! Gosh, you guys make is SO hard to choose!! Stay tuned a fun giveaway on Friday!! Thank you for your follow on BB!

LOVE the grand church!

Loooooove the ring shot. The colors of this wedding are so incredibly beautiful!

I love her dress & bouquet! So gorgeous with all those dark & light purples! Wait, I just noticed that they have a massive bridal party! Wowzers! lol

I need pampering because every one of my friends is getting married this summer, including me! Last weekend, I drove from DC to Pittsburgh to go to a shower in the morning, then flew off to Chicago to go to a bachelorette party that evening & stayed out till 5AM. Then I flew back to Pitt, and I spent the whole drive back to DC putting stamps and labels on my wedding invitations! (sitting in the passenger seat, of course!) So busy!

I need pampering because I'll be driving with my sister and 3 kids 3-6 years old from Boston to Indy in a couple weeks! shwew! That, and it's wedding & portrait season, so life is busy as usual :)

I am in dire need of a de-stressor because moving into our new home has been exhausting not to mention stressful. My body and feet has ache for days. And the heat and humidity has just been awful especially when we don't have an a/c unit installed yet. We have our work cut out for us because our new home needs ALOT of TLC. We still don't have a bed because the furniture company failed to deliver. My car is in need of repairs (great timing) and I still have a wedding to plan!

I'm a busy MOH who's planned/attended three showers for the Bride-to-Be...and I'm planning a rockin' Bachelorette Weekend. I've been working hard to make her feel special - I could use some down time!

I'm a busy MOH who's planned/attended three showers for the Bride-to-Be this summer...and I'm planning a rockin' Bachelorette Weekend. I've been working hard to make her feel special - I could use some down time! Last spring, my apartment burned down and I lost everything - furniture, photos, clothes, (including old bridemaids' dresses!) etc...and I finally feel like I've re-couped, and it's great to have a real event to look forward to start replacing pictures with happier memories.

In 4 months I will have gone to 2 weddings (out of town - one International), one engagement party (out of town), one bachelorette party (out of town) and one bridal shower (out of town). And the end of summer marks my own wedding, for which planning is like a full time job, on top of maintaining a full time blog, and a real full time job!

I'm a ball of stress these days. I'm 42 days from the big day. We have most everything done, thank goodness. My fiance is in law school, so I've planned this wedding while we were living over 1200 miles apart. Wedding planning, travelling every other weekend, and working full time for a whole year is exhausting. So he is now home and trying to transfer to a better school less than 2 hours from our home. We will hear whether he is accepted 10 days before our wedding. To top everything, a tree in our backyard was hit by lighting last week during a major storm. Today, instead of doing picture and music planning we are chopping up a tree. I could definitely use these bath bombs and a message.

LEE LA is the WINNER! Congratulations, we will be in touch! There were so many fabulous comments, it was hard to choose! Stay tuned for many giveaways coming up soon!!

I absolutely loved the featured couple. The pics definitely describes their love for one another. Shy and innocent meets wild and outgoing, not only do opposites attract but they tend to stick, even for a lifetime :) *tears*

One of the best photographers in Boston :) Great pictures!

Wow! Thanks for sharing the video as well! :)

Shannon, your work is amazing, thank you for allowing us to show our followers!

I am a new bride and for my gift for my beautiful husband I decided to have a Couture Boudoir shoot with Shannon Michelle! I was so nervous and kind of uneasy with it at first but Shannon was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and it was a lot of fun. Plus the pictures came out great...if I do say so myself :) I'd recommend it to anyone! Check out her website- www.shannon-michelle.com

awwww, Thanks Danielle! I had a blast working with you! :)

What a great tip and way to communicate to your florist how much of each color you want to use in your bouquet.

I am the QUEEN of the sweet tooth (just ask my dentist) - I find wine helps...wait, that isn't any better. I look forward to seeing everyone's responses for learning purposes ;)

I have a WICKED sweet tooth and it gets pretty bad at night. But, with a wedding coming up, I have to watch it! I love, love, love, frozen grapes. They are refreshing, cool, sweet and good for your waistline. Frozen cool whip is also a great way to get your ice cream fix without ruining your day!

It's all about portion control for me. We almost ALWAYS have ice cream in the house, but I''m careful to buy the small cones so I don't eat more than I need to. If I even attempt to scoop it into a giant bowl, I know I'm going to regret it!

I'm a big fan of fruit and yogurt! Very sweet, fresh, and yummy! :)

LOVE this recipe I found years ago -- and it's super simple and relatively healthy! You just mix fat free cream cheese, Splenda and an egg and bake it for ten or so minutes in the oven, and it makes this delicious custard-y dessert! Very quick, and my diet's not ruined! :)

Strawberries and nutella! Or stonyfield organic cherry vanilla yogurt. ;)

Organic vanilla greek yogurt and some Special K with red berries mixed in. It's kind of like a parfait, has sweetness and crunch, feels like summer, and the protein makes me actually feel full after I eat it. Plus it's quick to grab.Yum. I think I'm going to go eat some now...

I actually work at a chocolate shop, so I have sweets at my fingertips all day long. But I love a dark chocolate covered pretzel or graham cracker. Sweet and salty is the best! You should try the Vosges Bacon Bar-a chocolate bar with real bacon in it. It's our bestseller! :)

I opt for flavor over bulk, so dark chocolate is my go-to. A 1-inch piece packs more flavor (and antioxidants) than a whole candy bar or bowl of ice cream. The flavor is rich and really satisfies my cravings.

Lately, it seems to be a fresh fruit kick. I opt for the slices of cantalope or bananas rather than anything too sugary. Or I've smuggled a container of lower-calorie yogurt with me to work to satisfy the sweet tooth rather than buying any of the sugar filled candy we have in the break room.

My favorite fat free snack is HAIRBO gummy bears

OMG! You have got to try the ready to eat, Sugar Free Jello Chocolate Mousse! You will never know that these babies are sugar free! And for a real treat, put some Sugar free Land O Lakes whipped cream on top! Promise you will love it!

My dentist wouldn't say I have a sweet tooth -- more like sweet teeth! I love to bake, so for craving control I whip up a sweet confection for the office or a party: watching others enjoy my handiwork gives me a high without the sugar! (And maybe I have one tiny bite... the chef must taste her product!)

I try wine, and when that doesn't work a peppermint always does the trick! ;o)

I usually enjoy a LUSH bath! Their bathbombs are so sweet and some even smell like candy, so by getting to soak in the sweet scent it's like indulging myself, and the scent lingers on my skin and in the bathroom after for a sweet reminder ;) I also love to treat myself to a sugar-free hard candy. There is also a new product called Le Whif that is absically a chocolate powder that you inhale into your mouth and it tastes like chocolate but is fat-free and free of fatty calories and such. Thanks for the chance to win!

Try a can of College Inn Broth with 1/2 off the Sodium although you may not think it craves a sweet tooth it will not only crave a sweet tooth but a salty tooth as well along with no carbs! Plus it fills you up! Just heat 1/2 a can for 90seconds in the microwave in your fav. mug and your set to go!
