MR & MRS

This engagement shoot is stunning. I love shoots that use one prop as the focus. Consider incorporating something significant to the two of you into your shoot. Keep it simple and get creative!

Be Inspired: Peach

If your like me the idea of peach makes you think of garden poufy dresses, a bad prom, or that scene from Monster In Law when she throws the dress out the window. Yes peach has gotten a bad rap. Im here to revitalize its name. In all that is good and vintage I give you: the new peach. Enjoy!

For the Groom

I often feel bad for the men because they seem to get left out of the planning/blogging/obsessing over party favors part of the wedding(although I must say as a disclaimer that my hubby was fully involved and I think that many grooms these days are as well) So as a thank you to all those men who love being involved.. and want/have a unique style to incorporate into your wedding I give you some style inspiration. Enjoy hubby's-to-be! 

she wears white. he wears grey.

stripes done right. no matching pants pls. 

Im loving all the men rocking the no-jacket in different ways

it was his blue period. and he did it well. 

no jacket required!

reminds of you picnics huh? In a nice..manly way.

vintage pocket-square? yes sir! 

I love that he is rocking the beard here

shorts! Loving this for a spring/summer/destination wedding. Show those knees!

even  the little guys deserve to be awesome

okay lets be honest i just loved this dress, i also like that he matches her flowers.

no socks needed. rock the loafers!

an favorite from an old post on Mason Jars. 

Okay brides go get your gentleman, and then enjoy this inspirational post about some ideas for our creative grooms together.

Cute Idea Saturday: Sparkler Sendoff

If your getaway car is picking you up after dark consider a sparkler sendoff. Not only is it no clean up and not harmful for birds or other animals but it makes for an excellent last photo. Just make sure you have a designated lighter, matches, or torch ready for people to light them as you leave. 

DIY Wednesday: Dress Hanger

This DIY idea came from a blog I saw on photopink that talked about how they love not trying to hide the hanger in the bride's infamous dress picture. In fact, they love making the hanger a part of the imagery. So I conjured up some cute hanger ideas and then put together a simple DIY for you brides who love your details. 

Enjoy! Get creative!

Supplies: 

1. Scissors, 

2. Wooden Hanger (or other) 

3. Ribbon or strips of fabric ( I chose vintage scraps of fabric I had lying around) 

                                            Directions: 

1. Take the hanger and tie a knot with your ribbon or fabric strips at one end of the bottom of the hanger. 

2. Wrap the fabric or ribbon around starting at the knot you created until you have covered all except for the metal hook. 

3. Tie a knot with the remaining strip of fabric or ribbon, cut it and tuck the end under the wrapped pieces so it doesn't show.

4. Enjoy your gorgeous new dress statement. 

I also thought it would be cute to make a name tag like MRS. or YOUR NAME by using a piece of your stationary with it printed or written, punching holes in the top corners and hanging with the same ribbon so it hangs on the "inside" of the hanger. There are so many options here! Use that gorgeous head of yours and get creative!
