Wedding Ideas - Surprise

Posted: Print Article Congratulations go out to Danica McKellar! The former "Wonder Years" star and her boyfriend Scott Sveslosky, a partner at an international law firm, are engaged, her rep confirms to People. The 39-year-old also took to Instagram and Twitter to share the news, posting a photo of her ring and writing, "So ...

"Surprise..." the word escaped the bride with childlike uncertainty. The room was silent. We were all waiting for her mom to respond but none of us knew what that response would look like. You see, the bride's mother had never seen her in her wedding dress.

I don't need to be the umpteenth person to tell you that Pinterest, the online inspiration board website, is an essential resource for brides to build and organize their wedding visions. If you use it right, you can capture not only the look and feel of your day, but also have a place to glance over how all the details-from bridesmaids' dresses to out-of-town gift bags-fit together.

What if you could leave all those extensive wedding plans in the dust? Would you do it? If the answer is yes ... then we have Rosetree Weddings & Events to show us how a surprise elopement is done right.

When Holly said yes to Eric after he popped the question the next thought in her mind wasn't about their wedding day but about their engagement photos. It's a little less surprising when you find out that she is the owner of Simply Sweet Weddings & Events, so this is like second nature to her.

Looking to pop the question in a romantic and meaningful way? Then you must see this! Our next groom-to-be, Cameron reached out to his friends Simone Anne and Cait McRea for a little help on how to put together a surprise proposal. As you can see they planned such an adorable day!

Happy Monday! Boy, have we got a treat for you this morning! We were really quite chuffed recently when we were invited to celebrate the 30th Birthday of the lovely Hayley Shum from Wholehearted Studio Photography & Styling in Mooloolaba at The Velo Project (now The Bride's Tree team's fave spot for business coffees!)

Gary and Traci love Halloween. So much so that they decided the best place for them to get married would be at their Halloween party in their own home. The coolest part of this wedding was that it was a complete surprise for all their guests!

I don't know if I've ever featured photos from a bridal shower on the blog (except my sister's hen do of course, does that count?) but I loved the photos and story behind Sarah's so much that I've decided to share it.

Jacqueline and Trebor's wedding in Italy was a surprise to everyone, who thought they were simply participating in a styled shoot until the night before when guests received gorgeous watercolor invitations from Signora e Mare. We are swooning over this stunning romantic fete they held at Villa Bertolami in Rome!

The total girlie-girl in us is ALL ABOUT this insanely romantic, total dream of an editorial created by Debbie Lourens Photography + Green Goddess Flower Studio in Cape Town, South Africa. Ladies, imagine your guy not only proposing to you (WEE!) but asking if you'd marry him in a secret elopement that very same afternoon!

When Holly said yes to Eric after he popped the question the next thought in her mind wasn't about their wedding day but about their engagement photos. It's a little less surprising when you find out that she is the owner of Simply Sweet Weddings & Events, so this is like second nature to her.

This shoot is much more than meets the eye! The main inspiration was based upon the stunning rose-gold oval ring Phan held in his pocket. Not only is the glamour and decor just perfect, there is a serious surprise in store at the end.

If you're getting married in the next year and you like the idea of an adventure for your honeymoon then read on, because today I'm giving away a surprise European honeymoon with Surprise Trips! Over the summer Gareth and I were lucky enough to go on a surprise weekend trip to Vienna.

What better way to sweeten up your Thursday than with a surprise proposal? Simply Rosie recently photographed her own niece's carefully coordinated proposal to beau Connor, and we're thrilled to see that everything went off without a hitch. Side note, how amazing is that botanical book page backdrop?!

Posted: Print Article "Glee" star Naya Rivera married actor Ryan Dorsey on July 19, People reports. The ceremony took place in front of a small group of family in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with Rivera in a Monique Lhuillier gown and Dorsey in a Dolce & Gabbana suit.

Patrick and Nicolle didn't want a big, fancy wedding. Instead they wanted to get married in a way that felt meaningful to them. They decided to elope, but to invite a few very close friends... although they didn't tell them they were getting married until they arrived!

Today's real wedding is a little bit different from the ones we normally feature. Because, well, none of the guests knew they were at a wedding! Crafty couple (in more ways than one!), Ben & Kelly planned their Brooklyn big day under the rouse of an engagement party.

Something we have noticed cropping up more and more lately is the surprise backyard wedding. All the guests arrive, thinking they are turning up for a birthday party or engagement party, while it actually turns out to be the wedding itself! I even attended one such wedding myself just a couple of weeks ago in Coorory.

On a warm October evening in Idaho this surprise engagement dinner party came to life. A talented team of vendors came together to create a romantic atmosphere that was inviting and full of vibrant autumn colors. From start to finish the decor is darling and the food selections look delicious!

Chad + Sarah, who have been together for over 3 years, love adventure + travel quite often. Although they tend to travel to much warmer climates, one of the spots on their bucket list was Iceland. (Ours, too!!) After they announced on social media that they were going to Iceland, Molly Scott Photo & Video got a message [...]

  I am such a romantic, well i would have to be writing a wedding blog wouldn’t i?! Hehe. In all seriousness this shoot got me, right there. Emma and Rob decided to have a love shoot, but unbeknown to Emma, Rob was planning a proposal. The whole proposal was [...]

Voilà un moment que j'avais envie de faire des pochettes surprise. J'aime bien l'idée d'une centaine de personnes retombant en enfance en même temps, l'espace de quelques secondes. J'imagine la distribution des pochettes à tout le monde, l'amusement dans les yeux des invités et la surprise.
