Heather & Jon's Wedding Featured - The Knot Spring 2011

Today we have more exciting news, Heather and Jon's May 2010 wedding was also featured in The Knot Spring 2011 issue.  Their wedding was held at  Raspberry Plain in Leesburg, Virginia and Holly Heider Chapple Flowers provided the most picture perfect flowers. There are so many great images by Three Lights Photography of Heather and Jon's wedding. Some of my favorite details included the long ribbon streamers that my hubby hung from the trees that lined the aisle, the hanging mason jars with birdseed and candles, the river rock escort cards, and the burlap details that Holly placed in the maids bouquets to simulate scabiosa pods that were not in season in May.  To read more about the details check out my past blog post here.  Holly Chapple also recently did a blog post that has some great eye candy check it out here. 

These are some of the great detail shots from Three Lights Photography! 

Unique Guest Books

When many brides think about their guest book, it's a last minute thought, if at all, but your guest book can make a statement and be something cherished and displayed in or around your house for years to come.  Here are some unique ideas that couples have used in the past. What will you be using for a guest book? I'm personally in love with the old Chevy guest book, so cool!

Vibrant, Fun, Cultural Inspiration Board

I recently created this inspiration board around a Vera Wang dress and beautiful Bella Figura Invitation. I am also in love with Anna Maria Horner fabric and it was a perfect fit.
