In my years of planning beautiful weddings and events, I have learned so much from some very creative brides and vendors and I would like to pass some of this on to you. If you are thinking about getting married in this beautiful and magical place called Sedona, I think you will enjoy some of my couples’ stories and beautiful photos. I am also excited to share wedding trends, new finds, and fabulous vendors. I hope some of these posts will inspire your creativity for your wedding celebration.I believe that beautiful weddings are about the details and these can be obtained with an eye for beauty and a style that says, “This is me.” We at Van Damme Weddings would love to hear from you. What has inspired you. Send us your favorite wedding; fabulous décor; shopping find, ideas for the unusual, large and small.

Abstract Expressionists
If you haven’t checked out the new stamp scene, you may not know about the new “Abstract Expressionists” stamps that are newly available. If you are a modern bride and looking to stamp your invites with a little pop, definitely check these out. They are over-sized and really lovely in person. The full sheet has a variety of options: Via greylikesweddings
Mel Russell Photography
Photographer and friend Mel Russell sent over these stunning photos he took on his recent trip to Antelope Canyon in Northern Arizona.
Antelope Canyon is one of the most breathtaking and tranquil places on earth. Gently carved from the Navajo sandstone over the course of countless millenniums, the slot canyons are majestic and narrow passages, just enough space for a small group to walk the sandy floor – and for the occasional shafts of sunlight to shine down from above. Mel is also a wedding photographer. Visit him on his site Captured Light Weddings.

Wedding Poem Read at Chelsea Clinton Wedding
I just love the poem read at the Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky wedding
The life that I have
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

Airstream Dreaming
I’ve been dreaming of having one of these since I first saw one that Ralph Lauren designed for charity that appeared in Architectural Digest over ten years ago. These photos were posted by erin ever after via sunset magazine. Still dreaming.
Beautiful Paris
Thanks Helen and John for always inspiring.
Week-end in Paris
Friends, Helen and John are back strolling the streets of Paris and sending us snapshots of spring on the streets. I love this photo. Have a great week-end, wherever.

Paloma’s Nest
Many of you may be familiar with Paloma’s Nest. It is the creative work of artist Caroline Colom Vasquez. Caroline says that she is “dedicated to creating pieces for the home and for the heart” and believes that by adding text, “we give written ideas, feelings, and daydreams a place to rest”. This passion, care and dedication can be seen in every piece she creates. Her collection of wedding keepsakes can be passed on for generations. I know you will love these beautiful hand made pieces as much as I do.
