It depends on what you start with. I suggest you post a picture and people here will take shots at processing it the way you want it, and then tell you how they did it.

I don't have any particular picture in mind. |

| There's nothing special about the colors. They've just been lightened a bit to be more "pastely." Don't confuse with unsaturated. |

Actually it looks like the cyans/greens have been upped slightly in the shadows/mid tones before lightening - however I think you need to shoot with this style in mind instead of just relying on Photoshop to work the magic for you - the theme and tone of the subjects lend themselves to this processing. The same colour effects would look out of place in say images of a rock band or sporting event.
Great photography though. Love the ones with the fairground in the background.

| DO you think they are slightly over exposed then a slight yellow is applied? |

| I think there is some color balance applied. From what I saw, most of the upper ones were very warm, simply adjustment, especially with RAW. Others seemed to be colder, with a hint of magenta in them. |

I have looked at that style and it is used by a lot of female photographers for weddings, engagement, child and couple photography sessions. I have something that I shot by accident last year in my first year with the DSLR that is very similar.
It was shot in JPG and is pretty much straight out of camera. I am not saying I am as good as that photographer or that this photo exactly represents the style, but I think it is somewhat on the right track.
I think the style is achieved mostly by shooting at a particular time of day and with the sun at a certain angle to the subject. In the shot above, it was a summer July evening just after 6pm. It was a very golden sun somewhat lower in the sky behind the model right of camera position. I think the image was shot with a slight overexposure. I don't have photoshop so I didn't apply the vintage colors as in the example site.
There are "vintage" actions that you can download to get the effect in post. They apply a yellow and blue layer over the image to get it more faded. This is a photo I used a vintage action on...
And the photo before the vintage action...
Let me know if you agree and if you think the examples I have are close.
