Real Wedding: Nicole + Brian

This past week, I flew to Destin, Florida for my college roomate's beach wedding.  Not only was it nice to take a mid-week break and fly to the beach, it was my first time ever experiencing a destination beach wedding.  After three days in the sun, too many tequila shots, and lots of dancing...I had an absolute blast and was so thrilled to have experienced this with them.

When Nicole asked me to help her design their invitations, I was up for the challenge.  She wanted something casual and less formal from a traditional wedding invitation.  Using their initials as a focal point, the invitation was highlighted by casual wording, a fun beach phrase for the reply card, and it was all printed on 110# kraft cardstock.  I just love how they turned out, and they truly were a reflection of Nicole and Brian's laid back style.

Enjoy these beautiful pictures from Aislinn Kate Photography, congrats Mr. and Mrs. Steele!

Spring has finally sprung!

Even though there is still some snow lingering in the 7-day forecast here in Louisville, I am SO ready for some light jackets, beautiful blooms, and fresh scents in the air.

Springtime in Louisville is one of my favorite times of the year.  I stumbled across these adorable kraft spring gift tags and will be using them for a few upcoming bridal and baby showers I have.  The perfect addition to a gift!

Here's to some warmer temperatures!

Wedding Inspiration : Seating

The seating chart can often seem like a daunting task to a bride, but it serves as a fun way to spice up your reception.  Whether you decide to decorate your table with florals or play on a theme, your guests will be sure to appreciate the effort that goes into their seating at a reception.

Here are a few ideas that recently caught my eye from the popular wedding blog, Style Me Pretty.  

Enjoy and Happy Friday!
