Thoughts and Prayers

A somber post this morning... I wanted to send out prayers and thoughts to the families and loved one of those affected by yesterday's devastating storms in the south east.  Please have a moment to send a prayer up for those who are suffering and a thank you for those of us who made it thru. 

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Good Morning All!  I thought since we are getting rained on every other day down here in GA, I would look on the bright side and talk about the beautiful flowers that spring up after all the gloomy rainy days in April!  I wanted to get some examples of different seasonal bouquets.  I am getting married in June, so I have a LOT of colorful gems to choose from like hydrangeas, dahlias, daisies, cosmos, garden roses.  The list goes on and on... I went searching for some bouquets for all seasons for a little inspiration!  If you have gotten married recently, please post pics of your bouquets! 


Peonies are a beautiful choice for spring bouquets!  They mix well with other flowers, are available in a variety of colors from fuchsia to white, and have a wonderful fragrance.  http://bridalclarity.com/index.php?/faves/entry/beautiful_spring_wedding_bouquets/

Fall Bouquets are a mixture of rich jewel tones!  Filled with bright oranges, deep purples and fiery reds these bouquets will definitely stand out!  Fall bouquets can also be filled with other fillers such as berries, pine cones, fruit.  You can really get creative with the deep colors and textures in a Fall Bouquet.

Seasonal flowers are a bit limited in the winter, but that is no excuse for a wimpy bouquet.  A classic way to embody the Winter spirit is using gorgeous white roses.  Roses are in season all year round!  By choosing a classic white or pale color combo you will complement the winter season with grace and style!

There are tons of flowers to choose from for you summer bouquet!  Garden roses are a wonderful choice; they mix well with a lot of other flowers.  Other choices include daises, hydrangeas, cosmos, dahlias, etc.  Just make sure that your bouquets stand up to the heat!

Welcome bag ideas??

Good Morning and Happy Good Friday!  Today Id like to throw out some ideas for "welcome bags".  These are a really fun and creative way to thanks the guests (especially the out of town ones) for sharing in your special day!  They can be filled with snacks to keep their tummies full, aspirin to help rid the next day hangover, bottled water to keep hydrated; the list goes on and on.. and that's just what you put in them!  There are so many wonderful options for "welcome bags", so i thought i would show a few of my favorite!  Feel free to post some of your favorites!

A Destination Wedding Gift Bag. This is a great way to welcome your guests to your destination wedding! The "bag" should be chock full of all kinds of goodies waiting for them at the concierges desk at check-in.

Marriage License 101

Today we are going to get our marriage license for the big day!  I had a TIME getting anyone helpful on the phone, so to all other GA brides below is a link that gives ridiculously easy steps on the when, where, how and what of marriage licenses in GA.  Oh and make sure to bring cold hard cash, they DO NOT accept any other forms of payment.  I did learn that from the helpful recording. Hope this helps, happy Friday!

Hairy-Tales

Hello all,
After a much needed sweet fest, my focus has switched to hair styles for my big day!  Our wedding is going to be out doors in June.  It is a very Bohemian style wedding, my dress is simple ivory silk with a cris-cross back.  Up or down, curly or straight flower or no flower??  So many questions and only 2 months left to decide! I have a few styles in mind, re post if you have suggestions or pics of your own hairstyles!  Happy Styling everyone! :)
