Lose the Guest Book!
Oh yes we know {and completely agree}, you need a "guest book" to document all your family + friends who came to celebrate your special day!
But let's be honest, what are you actually going to with a book filled with names? You guessed it... read it, pack it away, swear you'll adore it forever, but forget it exists after a couple of months. So, we have a few solutions!
In lieu of a guest book, have family and friends leave you a note, advice, {or even better} an idea for an adventure on something that you can enjoy! Combine your style with their messages to create something you could use as home decor. Showcase your guests' notes on a bench for your backyard, a globe to keep in your office or a reclaimed wooden piece to display in your living room! As long as you can write on it, it works!
If you prefer to skip the home decor, we still love the idea of having a book but spice it up with your wedding images or Polaroid images of your guests to go along with their notes! Another alternative to a guest book is having family and friends leave messages on a video, which you can piece together later to make one special file! These options allow you to truly cherish the love you receive on your special day.

Wedding Pinspiration: Garden Romance
Hi all! Welcome to our first {of many} wedding pinspiration blog posts! If you are anything like us, your ideal evening is spent winding down with a nice glass of vino while perusing the latest trends on Pinterest. Through this series, we will call our some of our favorite wedding day "looks" with the hopes to give you that extra boost of {p}inspiration for your big day! For all you hopeless, feminine romantics our there, you're in luck!
In honor of summer, we dubbed it appropriate to feature garden romance as our first trend! Tis the season to step away from deep, rich florals and move towards a more organic, pastel color palate. For this look, we recommend keeping the linens soft and letting soft, lush florals take the cake {pun intended}! What about the ceremony? We simply can't deny Kim K's lush floral-filled backdrop that is sure to make for a picture perfect first-kiss!
Now it's time to talk fashion. Why not step away from the black tux and poufy princess gown, and go more casual? We suggest playing around with fun mens' accessories such as a colored pocket square or tie or incorporating a floral head piece for the ladies!
Remember, if you think planning your wedding all on your own is too much to handle, our weddings team has your back! Just check out our services here for a unique and customized package perfect for you!
