Looking for a favor idea for your wedding? We love this one! via Wedding Chicks Frame your favorite love quotes and let your guests choose one to take home with them. Whenever they look at it at home, they'll think back and remember your wedding! This is a great favor idea for a couple who loves quotes and sayings! You could go thrift store shopping for the frames and print the sayings out yourself on cardstock in all your favorite fonts. Use quotes about love, inspirations, or funny movie quotes - anything goes! We're collecting ideas - What are some of the quotes you would use?

I fell for this sweet floral "Love" sign the instant I saw it on  Polka Dot Bride ! Polka Dot Bride I could easily picture it hung behind a ceremony or sweetheart table. It would look pretty in a garden setting as well on an old gate or gazebo! I feel like you could manage it as a DIY project too. You could get some heavy-duty wire and bend it into the letters, then use smaller grade wire to link them together. Purchase some beautiful floral vine at a craft store and wire it on as well. Hang it with some pretty fabric or ribbon and you're done! Would you "love" to use this at your outdoor event? ;)

via Planning Forever Events This is completely true and so often overlooked! When I saw this on Planning Forever Events , I had to re-post! One of the first things I talk about with my couples in our initial meeting together is remembering to breathe ! Planning your wedding should be fun! - no REALLY....I mean it! You don't have to get bogged down in all the minutia of tiny details.  Remember to step back and look at the big picture: At the end of this crazy adventure, you'll be married to your best friend! That's the most important thing to focus on when napkin color choices are driving you nutty. Remember to set priorities, support each other, and delegate to family and friends who offer. There's no such thing as "the perfect wedding." Little issues always arise throughout the day, even with the best laid plans. Remembering the big picture helps you keep that perspective and realize that in the end, those little "mistakes" helped make your wedding ...

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...

I just love it when couples take different things that tell a little bit about their love story and incorporate it into their wedding day. It just makes the whole event that much more meaningful and brings your guests in closer. If you're a couple who's love of wine brought you together, or where wine played an important role in your history together (maybe he popped the question in a vineyard?), check this out for your guest book. Wine Bottle Guest Book via Couture Events I love the idea of getting a special bottle of wine and having guests sign the bottle with metallic Sharpies! You could pick a bottle from a vineyard that's important to you, your favorite label, or get something generic and  have a special label made with your names, date, and when it's to be opened. If you're having a larger wedding, you could have several bottles for guests to pick from, maybe one for each special anniversary? You'd be reminded of all the love from your family and...

For once, we're not talking about photography when we say "framing your ceremony" (even though your photographer will have a field day with this!). We've found some beautiful ways to add a little something extra to your ceremony and have a beautiful backdrop for such a precious moment. Source This "Love" sign is absolutely gorgeous and gives such a soft, romantic feel to this ceremony. What a great backdrop for the first kiss as husband and wife! Source  These shutters and ladder would also frame a ceremony perfectly, especially for a rustic wedding! So simple and sweet! Source A ceremony at a huge ancient tree is already very whimsical and romantic, but adding a little touch of detail with the swath of white fabric makes it even better! And we certainly have our share of majestic trees here in Gainesville to get married under! Are you thinking about adding any details that would frame your ceremony?
