I’ve finally posted photos from my Super Wedding Weekend in my gallery. I haven’t been able to blog about the trip over at the here or Wedding Bee but I am planning to get around to writing a detailed rundown… Unfortunately, work and home life is particularly overwhelming at the moment.

We’ve decided on our invite design!
The overwhelming favorite from my Wedding Bee post about our invitation mockups and from the posts I’ve made on this blog was the “Rustic Bouquet” with a solid red Dahlia. And you know what? That’s great, because it’s the one we liked best, too!

Kristin sent us some paper samples and [...]

I looooove Shepherd’s hooks. Though I have to admit they were one of the (many) things I’d never heard of before I started reading wedding blogs, I’ve been quite taken with the way they look.
Shepherd’s hooks are a fabulous way to decorate your aisle or altar for an outdoor wedding, especially if you are using [...]
