Simply Gorgeous!

This summer time wedding found at classicbride.blogspot.com is truly beautiful! This speaks to my more formal, classic side (the little bit I got from my dad, but which most often gets out voted by all my other tastes:) ), but at heart I truly love this look too! It's so rich and lovely!

The true beauty is in the attention to the little details. Doing so makes all the difference and makes a special event an extroardinary event! Isn't that chandelier incredible.

Ooooh, I love these flowers and pods. So great!~

I love the creative "vase" for these flowers. Like I said...Simply Gorgeous!

Fantastic Favors~ Everyone loves a kiss!

To thank your guests, have a kissing booth set up at your reception! Have a seperate photographer on hand to capture the kisses in front of a cute display like this one found at marthastewartweddings.com. (You can actually download the design above for free!Thanks Martha!) or design your own booth like the one below!

If you had a couple of people working on it, you could transfer the pic onto a disk and have it ready to pick up before your guests leave! Now thats a creative, inexpensive wedding favor!

The "princess bride"

This was such a fun reception to decorate for. Her colors were black and pink, and I knew she loved roses, but other than that I pretty much had free creative reign as the brides only request was that it have a somewhat formal feel. I leaned toward a flowy, fairytale look and having all sons, I really enjoyed the fluff and frills of decorating for this "princess bride".

These little princesses seemed to like the decor as well.

Tapering candlesticks surrounded by rose petals and pink wrapped chocolate hearts adorn the tables.

A little frill over- looks the gift area.

Flowing white chiffon drapes from a large pink heart hanging on a wreath stand to lure guests toward the serving table.
Black paper heart cutouts, rose petals and ribbon mingle above scrapbook pages inviting guests to write their wishes for the newlyweds.
