REAL ROCKSTAR EVENT: PSYCHO BEACH PARTY HALLOWEEN

This event really needs no introduction. A hybrid of real-life haunted mansion and swingin' 60's beach party with hints of horror, we wish it could be Halloween every day.

REAL ROCKSTAR WEDDING: LUISSA + HERBERT

On the corner of downtown chic and straight up party sits the happy little wedding of Luissa + Herbert captured by Secret Garden Photography. The Lake Pavilion in Downtown West Palm Beach was the setting for this brightly colored affair brought to life by team Rockstar and the design masterminds at Fringe & Company. Natural foliage accents galore and crowd pleasing elements like a cigar roller with comfy lounge area all mixed with the huge (and ultra adorable) personalities of the new Mr & Mrs.

REAL ROCKSTAR WEDDING: BROOKE + BRAD

Backyard weddings have a magical way of touching the soul. Set against the most splendid natural setting, the intimate (and breaktaking) nuptials of Brooke and Brad boasted countless warm and fuzzy family moments and rustic goodness in every direction. The combination of bright yellow floral details with laid back eclectic seating, and (super impressive) DIY artistic touches by the bride, created a welcoming materpiece of backyard wedding perfection!

Oh, and did we mention the cinema screen? The bride and groom made films for eachother that completely swept us up. We're only scratching the surface here, so settle in Rockstars - these images by Courtney Lindberg Photography are beyond swoon-worthy. 

UPDATE: Brooke + Brad's wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty! View the full post here.

REAL ROCKSTAR WEDDING: BEN + ANDREA

This gorgeous affair proves that even when mother nature pulls a fast one on you on your wedding day, you can still pull off a to-die-for-pretty soiree. Ben and Andrea didn't just get some lucky showers on their big day - they got a full blown hurricane! The best part is that you wouldn't even be able to tell a drop fell based off the stunning photos captured by the super talented Laurie of Bee Photographie. 

Wind and rain aside, this wedding had us grinning from ear to ear with its laid back meets elegant mansion vibe, seriously sweet DIY details by the bride, and beyond beautiful natural color scheme.

REAL ROCKSTAR WEDDING: JENN + BOBBY

Jenn + Bobby's Peanut Island Boathouse wedding reception was cool, fresh, and as lovely as can be. Filled to the brim with cheery goodness, including a sunny yellow and blue color palatte, some fabulous flowers, and one seriously stunning view - it was the perfect combination of maritime chic meets elegant fete. 

Our favorite part? A Champagne-soaked Cocktail Hour in the Kennedy Bunker - an underground fallout shelter built in1961. Or maybe it was the Oyster Shooter ice luge...? Bubbly and shelfish aside, this soiree was deliciously unique, and the images capured by Michelle Morales Photography...PERFECTION.
