I get it. Your Monday is filled with madness and mania, making your weekend feel like ancient history. Mondays and me have always been at war.  But I have to admit that opening my laptop to peruse pretty wedding pictures makes my Monday angst subside.  It’s a pretty sweet gig.  Especially when I’m dealing with a sunny Arizona wedding with a super stunning bride.  Today’s photos are the work of Photography by Verdi , who have an office in NYC and Arizona (lucky bums).  I’m sure you’ll agree that there’s a lot of wedding inspiration to glean from Beth and Andrew’s grey and yellow wedding.  Take a gander at the bouquet, brides.  It’s pretty killer, right?  I’m also loving the bridesmaid dresses, the tablescape, and the character of their venue.  A perfect start to our week here on La Belle Bride!

Yellow is still hot. Blazing hot in the wedding world. We recently did a 2011 wedding trend survey (the results to be released to you brides soon!) and yellow is still very much a contender for hottest wedding color. And I’m still liking it. Alex and Elliott’s Louisiana backyard wedding is a killer combo of fun-loving, light-hearted and fashionably hot. Oh, AND animal friendly? Can I just say that more animals should be invited to weddings! It really would make a good time, better. Ashleigh Jayne is our featured photographer today and it’s a pleasure to gaze over her fabulously creative photos this Friday. it’s the perfect way to star the weekend, wouldn’t you say? Getting inspired by gorgeous photography and amazing wedding inspiration. Enjoy the pops of blue and warm yellow details!

I’m all for prolonging the warmth of summer as long as I can. So I’m going to throw up impossibly warm and sunny summer weddings as long as I can! Case in point: Today’s sweet Phoenix summer wedding with sunny yellow details. Kensley and Jim got married one a hot July afternoon as captured through the lens of the talented Jennifer Weems.  Enjoy!

Back with more gorgeousity (made up word) from this delightful California wedding shot by Jagger Photgraphy. Things I want to talk about:

1. Holy crap. This wedding is “branded” down to the very last drop. And I mean this in a great way! Check out the favors that Taryn and Owen gave to their guests. SUCH cute ideas. I mean even if you did ONE of those items as a favor, you’d be a huge hit! Nevermind the basket of cute treats (all branded and color coordinated with yellow splashes here and there) they let their guests choose from!
2. What. The. Heck. Um…the projector with the forest scene. I felt like kicking myself. Why did I not think of this? It’s pretty much the coolest way to snaz up ANY ceremony. Think of the endless options you’d have. Seriously bridesters, this is a killer idea. Take it.  Run with it!
3. A marching band.  Nuff said.

So I told you guys a couple weeks back that I have a new obsession with an amazing California wedding photography couple, Heather and Grayson of Jagger Photography. They hail from Cali, live in Washington but made the trek back to Pasadena, California for this cute wedding we’re featuring today. Talk about venue envy! Taryn and Owen chose the Pasadena Museum of California Art as their scenic venue. Me likey. Not to mention the gorgeous gardens where they shot these pre-wedding pics. Yum! As usual with Jagger, I couldn’t edit the pictures down. So you’ll just have to endure another post later today FILLED with insanely cute wedding details. (You love it. Admit it.)
