Honeymoon Photos From 1939


In 1939 Margaret and Denys Gardiner got married and embarked on a road trip honeymoon through the English countryside, documented by a second cousin on 35mm Agfacolor film. The pictures were recently discovered by a grandson and the stunning photos have been shared on the Huffington Post. It's a beautiful series showing a relaxed honeymoon of camping and scenic routes, but it has addition poignancy for the time--in 1939 England was on the brink of World War II and the photos act like a time capsule of a quiet country before the chaos of war. More pictures and details of their story can be found here.

Imaginative Flower Garden Wedding


One of the dreamiest weddings I've seen to date has to be this one featuring amazingly oversized paper flowers created out of butcher paper by the bride and her family. The theme was "Come tiptoe through the enchanting flower garden" based on Tiny Tim's creepy yet charming tune and the entire scene looks like a Tim Walker photograph come to life. I am in complete awe and infatuation--I'll definitely be looking for some tutorials on how to make those amazing flowers because my bedroom could benefit from some enormous blooms. The photography is by Jessica Peterson and you can find more about the bride and groom and wedding here.
