Did you know that Arizona is a great place to have a wedding reception? According to the photographers of Amanda and Derrick's wedding, Photography by Verdi, they say it is because it hardly ever rains. Mindi and Rich say "You have to have really bad luck if it rains on your wedding in Arizona." As a result of this, Amanda and Derrick's reception was held under a star lit sky, so magical. Oh, and don't you just love the brides beautiful gown? I love the lace detailing on the sleeves and the succulents in her bouquet are gorgeous too.

Starting off today with the wedding of Carol and Matt from Mindi and Rich of Photography by Verdi. I'll also be ending the day with another wedding from the husband and wife team, so be sure to check back after lunch as we head to Arizona for that one. I love how today's couple stopped by a few local fun spots after the ceremony before heading to their reception. What a fun way to relax together.

I love how the couple stopped at a few local fun spots before heading to their reception. So fun to see Rita's again. We don't have any around us here, but I remember going to a few Rita's when we vacationed in Connecticut a few summers ago. Their frozen custard was so good :)

Continuing with a double-header from Mindi and Rich of Photography by Verdi, the second wedding today is of Felicia and James and in one word, it's stunning. I'm such a fan of sunflowers so I love the pots of sunflowers that were used for the outdoor ceremony in the vineyards.

Thank you so much Mindi and Rich for joining me today on the blog with two spectacular weddings. To see more from Photography by Verdi, please visit their web site and blog.

Today's gorgeous beach wedding of Emily and Scott took place in Montauk, NY which as the bride explains "is a small laid back town that gives you the feeling that you are not in New York anymore." Emily also wrote, "We picked Montauk because my husband has been going there since a child and when I first met him he would talk about Montauk but I never went. Our first vacation together was to Montauk and I fell in love and from then on we refer to Montauk as 'our special place'."

Emily says she didn't have a specific theme or color, but her bridesmaids held calla lilies which are her favorite flowers and they wore chocolate brown dresses which happens to be another favorite color. The beautiful photographs are by Photography by Verdi and I just love the sweet calmness that comes from the photos.

Thank you so much Mindi and Rich for sharing this beautiful wedding with my readers today. To see more from Photography by Verdi, please stay tuned because I have another wedding from them a little later this morning.
