Mix and Match

What do you do when you have five gorgeous and trendy bridesmaids but they all have different bodytypes and styles? Well there are debates about whether or not mixing your patterns and colors will draw the eye away from the bride. I say let their individual styles shine! Everyone is happy, which is what you'll remember looking back. As a bonus they can pick them out if you give them a pallet and fabric choice, which means less work for you and another check off your endless list! Check out these ideas from jcrew.com  and this one couple who did the concept well. 

Reeves pt.2

Here are some sweet little details from Jimmy and Jen Reeves' wedding. Notice the amazing elements that this venue provided and they used to complement their wedding style. One of the best, cheapest, and easiest ways to decorate is to utilize the feeling of the venue instead of trying to reinvent a space. Highly recommend it.

the Reeves

Jennifer and Jimmy Reeves' wedding was a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Every detail was well placed: From the "Mr and Mrs."  signs on the backs of their chairs to the Martha Stewart hanging paper flowers in the reception tent. You could see their personalities reflected on every surface. Well done Reeves! We approve. Look forward to pics from part two.

Mr. and Mrs. 2

Here are some more pictures from Mandy and Matt's wedding. Enjoy!

Mr. and Mrs.

I am very excited to announce that I have my very first wedding feature here on 10secondbride! Matt and Mandy Burris have graciously offered their beautiful wedding as an inspiration for my blog. Their unique and lovely wedding was done on a barge in NYC, inspired by Brooklyn they used bright colors and little goodies to dress up the boat for their guests. They even had nausea chewables for those with weak stomachs! Using the bridge as a magnificent backdrop they got married in the boat's belly and moved to the topdeck for treats and drinks- cocktail style- with their guests. Well done guys!
