keeping in mind i dont have a lot of experience with type.
this is a logo for a friend of mine starting a wedding planning business. this was the font she wanted, i have tried to customize it a bit to clean it up and make it a little more unique.
any thoughts? sorry for the artifacts from the jpg compression...
flame on...

actually it looks quite appropriate so no flame from me. what is happening with it colour wise though?? if the stuff with the redness is deliberate, I'd drop it :)
- cool appreciated... yeah its a 2px stroke i think, not a major element whatsoever********

Its hard to see it 'purely' with the afformentioned jpg compression but if I knock my eyes out of focus a tad it looks nicer. I do like the lettering, but I don't like the tonal variations in the lettering becuase it looks a bit 'stainy' and a bit 'soaked' and a bit heavy in the dark zones...generally not as elegant and light on its feet as I would expect this logo to be.
I would do a nice clean curved vector trace off and stick to a flat colour, and I think the actual letteform and type arrangement is really nice.

it looks a bit like a scribble that has been badly scanned. If it wasn't for the identical B's and that fact you said it was a font i wouldn't have known.
I think something a bit cleaner would suit a wedding planner better.

Alter the second B just a bit and you will make the logo type feel a bit more custom. other than that, what kelpie said.

I would tighten it up slightly and I agree that the outline should be dropped. Have you tried it reversed on a silhouette or shape related to wedding? Could be worth a try maybe ...

look at some Alejandro Paul script stuff, that should inspire you onto the right directions

yeah another question was about an icon to accompany it... shes pretty firm about not wanting something cliche like rings or a bouquet
- mrseaves0
not that this is the style your client is wanting, but the icon is nice. It's a bit large, but nice. Pretty site too.
- very nice... i like that its is made like script... dont know the proper term for that********

yup, sudtipos is brilliant. Anything from there will be seriously alternate heavy to avoid things like the double B too...
A good reference at least.
