We get hundreds of wedding submissions a week here at Style Me Pretty, and while each and every one is brimming with gorgeous images and inspiration, sometimes all it takes is just one breathtaking photo, an amazing detail or a fabulous title and we’re head over heels in love.

Such is the case with this charming Holland Ranch affair, cleverly titled “All You Can Etsy.” The title alone sent us into an absolute tizzy… and then we laid eyes on the stunning bride and groom and all of the personal touches that only Etsy can provide. We simply can’t get enough of this rustic chic affair, and we’re certain that you’ll be just as smitten. Sit back, relax and enjoy the pretty! Then head on over to Style Me Pretty for even more of this lovely event.

We positively adore these charming escort cards by cuddlecreature. Talk about the perfect ingredients for a swoon-worthy fete! Plus, whether you’re throwing a glamorous garden party or a vintage chic soiree, they add just the right touch of whimsy and charm. And if the adorable barnyard animals don’t quite fit your theme, think about using another great style from cuddlecreature‘s shop to wow your guests.

These succulent favors are such a wonderful (and uber-chic) addition to your day — and a lovely way to say thank you at the end of the night. Our stunning bride chose miniature galvanized pails for her favors, but you can visit SucculentsGalore’s shop for a variety of different options, including terracotta pots, white pails and pots wrapped in natural ribbon. And why not take it a step further and add these gorgeous plants to your centerpieces? We’ve seen these beauties on display in everything from a traditional ballroom affair to a contemporary stunner and they always look downright fabulous.

In fact, we love each and every wedding detail so much that we created some handy buying guides.
