AN INVITING ALTERNATIVE

I have been reading so much about invitations lately on the message boards, so I thought I would let you all in on the latest trends in invitations and steer you to a great article about etiquette, wording, etc. These invitations are taken from an article on http://www.theknot.com/. One is a booklet and the other a silk box, either of which will make an impression when they appear in mailboxes! Read the Knot article with answers to all the questions you are asking on the boards- and more! And, start looking on line for all the great new invitations available to you!

COZY FAVORS

These favor ideas are so wonderful I had to share! And the presentation is just as special! Create your own "trail mix" with nuts and dried fruits and use them as your favor and your place card. How beautiful will your place card table be with these lovely little bags of goodies! Or, for you DIY, cooks... how about these little mason jars full of homemade preserves
with a custom label of your wedding on them! Love these ideas!! And, they add color and flair to your decor. Use your creativity- which I see is out there when I see photos and read the blogs. You can really add an element of pure joy to your guests experience at your wedding and give them something personal to take home!

QUEENS AND PRINCESSES

Imagine a color palette of moss green, deep wine and a gold wedding gown with a pale green sash! Can't you just see how stunning these dresses would all look together going down the aisle?! The wedding gowns are from Amsale and Lazaro and the bridesmaids and mother's dresses are from Jasmine Bridal. It is still hot outside, but it will be sweater weather before you know it! You don't have to use brown and orange or gold anymore! To have a perfect fall wedding, start to scope out the wedding magazines and the blogs of other brides. I get so many ideas from them it is hard to know which ones to use! Two new blogs I recently found are Oh Happy Blog and Classic Bride. Of course, Perfect Bound is my favorite place to start every day, as is Oh Joy! Happy hunting!

FALL FOLIAGE

These are amazing flowers for a wedding! I love fall weddings and the magnificant colors of the season. Using pumpkins and leaves and other things from nature are so becoming and make for a unique look!

THERE'S A NIP IN THE AIR!

I have been planning a November wedding fo the last few weeks and the ideas are just amazing to me! Fall colors are so vibrant and wonderful! So, for all of you girls getting married in the fall, this one's for you!!
