y'all,

so it's been what - a moon? - since i last compiled my favorite weddings featured 'round the bloggy world. obviously, i need to get on it! following are some of my favorites with a brief explanation of what makes them special;)

coziest venue {her grandmother's lakefront cabin}:
this wedding just oozes a comfortable atmosphere full of love and happiness. it's also full of diy, straight-from-the-heart details that are almost too sweet to be true. check it out!


fanciest outdoor ceremony backdrop:
i think it's really cool when brides and grooms are able to create a church-like atmosphere outdoors. their petal aisle and wooden cathedral-style windows did the job perfectly!

 quirkiest way to get guests from the ceremony to the reception:
these guys, known as "mummers", led guests across one of philly's busiest streets to the reception venue. if that's not a hilariously fun way to get the party started, i don't know what is!


cutest color combo {hot pink + navy}:
click through to the original post to see the ombre pink ribbon adorned chairs, hot pink table linens and navy blue runners! i'm also more than a little in love with her bouquet.


most stunning backdrop for photos:
dear georgia coastline: why can't you look more like california? i'd really appreciate stunning rocky views like this one a little closer to home. sincerely, jennifer

y'all, 

while this is perhaps a conversation you are more likely to have with your dj {and, of course, your spouse-to-be}, i think it's important as a planner to help our couples out with suggestions regarding all aspects involved in your wedding. 

that being said, i stumbled upon {as i so often do} a great compilation/discussion {check out the comments section} of "slow and weepy" first dance songs while browsing through my blog roll today. 

courtesy of a practical wedding and part of an ongoing series, this fab compilation will inspire even the most unsure among you!

hi there, y'all!

i hope your week is getting off to a fabulous start. i'm still a bit fuzzy from my overly indulgent weekend in charleston {if you ever go, please please please visit mccrady's and have the lady killer - it is honestly the best drink i've ever had in my life. we'll discuss this more on thursday, don't worry;)}.
