Ana and Amber's double wedding

 

Announcing a first in Annabel & Ruby history - Ana and Amber's double wedding! Can you stand it?  Look at these gorgeous girls and their handsome beaus!

Ana first contacted me via Etsy last year as she and her sister began planning their unique wedding day.  Both girls were looking for a natural, comfortable gown that would express their unique style and design sensibilities, while still being practical for the barefoot oceanside wedding they had planned.  After some discussion, Ana chose a reproduction of the J. Crew Erika gown and Amber chose a reproduction of the Lucinda gown.  I was thrilled to oblige!

Just one of the fantastic DIY touches Ana and Amber incorporated into their ceremony and reception

I think my favorite part of this breathtaking event is the final line of the joint ceremony: "Love creates family, and family creates love."  I couldn't agree more!  Congratulations to everyone, and thank you so much to Ana and Amber for sharing your special day with us! :-)

Offbeat Bride Tribe Feature!

OMG my darling friends of Annabel & Ruby, today is a BIG DAY.  I am so incredibly thrilled to announce that Chrissy and Danny's amazing Thailand/London double wedding is featured TODAY on the insanely popular and fabulous Offbeat Bride Tribe website! Do you remember this fabulousness?

Well!  You can read OBBT feature on the Thailand ceremony here.  Annabel and Ruby got a shout-out link for making Chrissy's dress--(squealing with excitement like a 12-year-old girl at a Justin Beeber concert)!!!  And as if that weren't enough, I'm throwing in a special treat to make up for my lamentable lack of posts for the past few weeks:

Did that second photo get your attention? It's from Chrissy and Danny's equally unique and utterly urban-artisan-DIY-fab London based wedding (I am trying to find words to describe how much I love it, but I'm reduced to babbling) and the pics are PURE LOVE.  Can you pass out from delight?  I think I just lost consciousness for a second.

Read the feature on OBBT, and you really have to check out the teaser story OBBT did, which has more pics of Chrissy and Danny's London festivities, which are pure gorgeous porn for your eyeballs.  To see my original blog posting about their gorgeous event, click here.  Chrissy, Danny, and OBBT: thank you, you made my month! :-)
