Odds are your guests have been to weddings and events before, so set your soiree apart with the details!
A creative trick to establishing a truly personalized affair is to add a monogram to various aspects of your event. Have fun with it!

I love french-inspired, shabby-chic, Spring garden, backyard weddings! The possibilities are truly endless! I threw together this inspiration board for a friend thinking of having such an event next Spring.
Let me know what you think!

{Inspiration} Some Tasty Color!
Although classic and stunning, your wedding cake doesn't have to be limited to the traditional white fondant or buttercream. Get creative and add some color! The Groom's Cake doesn't have to be the only fun cake at the reception!
I love how the bride used a mirror underneath...what depth!

The Art of Thanking
Etiquette dictates that you have approximately two weeks after receiving the gift to send your thank you card. I personally agree with this tradition for your pre-wedding parties but think you have a little more time after the big day. Try to get your wedding thank-you cards out before you hit your three-month anniversary.
When writing your thank-you notes, remember to mention what you are thanking them for and how you intend to use it. This can help you get started if you have writer's block! We absolutely adore the silver fleur de lis tray and cannot wait to serve Chris' homemade bread on it at our next dinner party! I also like to close with a nice sentence or two about how much the recipient means to me and how much I appreciate them. Emily Post reminds us to be sincere and to use expressions that come naturally, writing as though you are conversing with the recipient.
Again, I love paper so I adore personalized and fun stationery! These are some fun ones that I found:
Don't these beautiful colors and designs just make you want to sit down and write everyone you know a little note!

{Real Wedding} Shannon +Ben
What a joy it was to watch these two get married on Saturday! They are a fun Texas couple with the bride being a graduate from Texas Tech and the groom being a big Texas A&M fan...can you say household divided!?! The bride chose a color theme of burnt orange and brown that really popped against the palette of White Oak Plantation (Baton Rouge, LA). Check out a few snapshots I captured of their fun details:
The guests were welcomed with a really unique "guest book". A wishing well with river rocks!
Guests were asked to sign the rocks with paint pens and toss them in the well!
And here is your first exposure to their school spirit!
Marino's Florist spruced up the white chairs for the ceremony with an arrangement of flowers and ribbons. Shannon also thought about her guests and the June heat and had me place fans on each of the chairs.
The fans were personalized with their names and the date.
After the ceremony, guests were greeted with gorgeous arrangements of browns and orange on each table.
The cake from Ambrosia Bakery also popped with color!
Look how fun!
Ben really got to show off his school spirit with his groom's cake!
