One of my favorite elements of any wedding are the bouquets. My heart always beats a little faster when I know the florist is about to bring them up. They're just always such gorgeous works of art. I love it when the bride gets a look at her flowers for the first time. It's has that "this is finally really happening" element to it; that hint of magic and romance every wedding, no matter how intimate or grand in scale, carries with it. Brides always look to preserve a touch of that by preserving their bouquets, whether with the bouquet in it's entirety, or by just saving a few petals. It's tricky though, because I never feel like the preserved versions ever really come close to the vibrancy of that day. Then I saw this idea on  Alexan Events  and couldn't believe I'd never thought of it! You can have it forever preserved with a watercolor painting! via Alexan Events Stunning, right? The paintings have so much romance and life to them! And all you need i...

In March, we were lucky enough to be out at Sweetwater Branch Inn twice! Margaret & Ben got married there and I'm so excited to share with you some special images from their day! We had a great time planning with them long distance, since they planned everything from up north, where they live.  All the memories were captured by Kristin Kozelsky and they are seriously a-maz-ing ! I say "memories" specifically too. Kristin practices what she calls "Beloved Photography." She describes it as "a very natural approach to photography. There's very little posing, and it helps people really get back to the core of what matters most in their relationships." Learn more about it out here ! You can't go wrong here: great venue, fantastic vendors, gorgeous flowers, couple so in love it shines through in every picture, and stunning personalized details scattered throughout the day! Warning: I'm about to go a little picture happy in this post. I ca...

Having Lawn Games at your wedding is an easy and fun way to keep your guests entertained throughout your cocktail hour and reception. Guests can mingle, complete, and just have a great time. Let's face it though - not all Lawn Games have a "perfect for your wedding" look to them. Then I saw these and thought - Exactly! Metallic Lawn Games via Style Me Pretty I love the wooden sign with fancy writing on it, and placing it in the flower barrel adds that "wedding" touch. Having the Bocce Ball set be metallic - amazing! It's pretty and functional all together! Are you having Lawn Games at your wedding? Are you doing anything to make them more "wedding worthy?" Comment and tell us how!

Baby's Breath keeps cropping up everywhere in the wedding scene right now, and I have to say - I'm swooning at the pictures! I love how brides are letting it take center stage and shine!

I have to say - we love, love, LOVE it when couples choose amazing vendors for their weddings! We truly had an awesome team to work with for Amanda & Craig's big day in March - from Sweetwater , to Wayne's World Entertainment , to Dream Day Cakes , and now  Rob Witzel Photography ! We wanted to show you some of the fantastic images they captured of the day. Rob was so sweet to share them with us and we had to pass them along to you! Sweetwater Branch Inn is one of our favorite venues here in town - the gardens are beautiful and Lauren, Sarah and the rest of the staff are a joy!  One of the great things about Sweetwater too, is it's the perfect place for you and your bridal party to stay before and after the wedding. The rooms are gorgeous and are great for those getting ready shots. Take a look and see what I mean: All photos via Rob Witzel Photography By the way - I adore corset back gowns! Amanda's was beautiful too (and that sash!!). Wedding Planner tip - they ...
