Inspiration to Wedding! Part 3

A few Details

........

I love the idea of family photos pinned to a simple piece of twine in a reception area. At our wedding almost every guest walked along the row of photos during cocktail hour... ohh-ing and ahh-ing over childhood shots, making fun of our awkward years, and remembering good memories.

I was inspired by this..

And created this line of photos strung along one of our venue's old barns.

Isn't my grandmother sweet?!

Inspired by the idea of creating charming escort cards..

We purchased a giant piece of wood from Home Depot, painted it with chalkboard paint and created 8 sections. Since we had one long table instead of many smaller tables, this seemed to work well. 

Once they located their section, they found their name tied with twine to a printed menu & a packet of Wildflower seeds. The seeds were purchased from American Meadows. 

Hope your week is off to a great start!

I knew I loved the look a mismatched bridesmaids dresses right away. Of course it's not for everyone or every wedding, but I wanted this bit of eclectic-ness + for my favorite ladies' personalities to shine through. Bonus- they absolutely adored me for it!

Inspiration to Wedding! Part 1
I get lots and lots of emails asking about different things related to our wedding. I love hearing from you, so please always feel free to ask away! 

I thought that it might be helpful to list some wedding resources + details here on the blog. I'm also starting a series called Inspiration to Wedding, to show how I took an idea or a picture and made that detail come to life at our wedding! 

First up - The Attire!

This topic is what I receive the most emails about, so I hope you find this information helpful! Any other questions? Email me here.

My dress was by Alvina Valenta. It was part of the Fall 2008 Collection. The color of the dress is Rum Pink.. really stunning in person!

My shoes were by Seychelles. The style is called Reservations for Two. They are still available here.

We had an un-seasonably cool evening, so I was happy that I purchased a cute cardigan from J.Crew to wear over my dress!

I wore a bleached peacock feather with a vintage jewel in my hair. It was created by Jennypickle on Etsy.
