If Ruche were a bride...




...we would look something like this. ♥ To see more, view To Have & To Hold, our bridal lookbook.


A little story: It rained on the day of our bridal photoshoot. It was freezing and our models covered themselves in blankets between shots. It wasn't ideal, but somehow our talented and amazing team stayed motivated and made our Ruche wedding come to life. They say it's good luck for it to rain on your wedding day, after all, and we could not agree more. ♥ A big thank you goes out to everyone who made this possible for us, and this includes you, Ruchettes. To all of our brides, bridesmaids, and wedding guests, thank you for allowing us to be apart of the romantic days that lie ahead. We're so excited to share our bridal collection with you and we can't wait for more to come.

Love Stories: Racing Hearts


There we were, in the middle of a lonely camp site in the midst of waterfalls, streams, hump-backed bridges, and vintage camper vans. Everything was so beautiful. There has always been something about camping that makes my heart race. This particular camping trip wasn't the only thing that made my heart race.


My close-knit family and a handful of old timers... and a few 'newbies' too. Chris so happened to be one of those 'newbies.' In the midst of a foresty walk I watched him. I watched how he walked, how he talked, and how he enjoyed the beauty around him. Little did I know Chris was dong the same, he was watching me. I was also oblivious to him falling just as in love with me that I was with him.


Seeing Chris became a regular thing. Every time I saw him I couldn't help but swoon. He is perfect for me! A short time passed and I found myself in his arms with a ring around my finger.

He had caught me by surprise. We were in his attic sorting things out. He looked at me, got down on one knee, and asked the question! I was filled with happiness (and still am) I laughed, smiled, and laughed. I felt as though I was going to cry but no tears came, I was way passed the 'tears for joy stage!'


I am going to be Chloe Jane Schofield. Chris is going to be mine forever. I am going to be his forever. ♥

Wedding Wednesday: Pink and Grey

Imagine this: a wedding in a beautiful little stone chapel on the top of a mountain, surrounded by peonies, hydrangeas, and carnations. This Guest Blogger, Elizabeth, created just that with touches of pink, grey, and textural elements to compliment her dress. ♥
