Aisle Runner: Alicia & Stephen

Hand painted aisle runner for Alicia and Stephen in 

apple green and blue (David's Bridal, horizon) 

Runners are digitally designed and then painted on your runner 

where ever you would like. This one is at the very end of the runner. 

These runners are pretty opaque and have a poly backing to 

help them hold up under foot traffic.

Lake of the Ozarks Wedding Details in Clover and Pink. Part 2.

Seeing a bride's vision come to fruition is totally awesome. What I do is usually just a smidgen of the work and details a family does to bring everything together. And the details really make a big difference. You can see other details of Brent and Michala's wedding here and here. Michala put so much work into this wedding and it paid off! Everything from the favors (cookies and coozies) to the decor, food and music.

Favors: Coozies

The Parasol Room at Tan-Tar-A resort was (IMO) a perfect reception room. Large windows opened to mile-long views of the Lake of the Ozarks. The inside of this room is supposed to look like the mechanics of an umbrella - and that theme was carried out in the reception decor. I love the DIY a-la-Martha Stewart poms, lanterns and parasols hanging from the ceiling of this room.

Each table had wine with custom labels and donation cards for the American Cancer Society as a respectful way to honor family members.

Michala made the centerpieces - having family members save any glass jars. She wrapped them with wire and strung pink and green jewels from the neck of the jar, filled them with sand and used a battery operated candle. So cute! This guest book idea deserves its own post when it is finished. The couple had guests sign quilt squares as their guest book. The squares will be sewn together later for the couple to use in their home. Such a great idea.

And I just had to show this picture - from the gorgeous weather at the ceremony to this!

This is the same window - can you believe it? Outdoor weddings make me so nervous!

Lake of the Ozarks Wedding Details in Clover and Pink. Part 1.

 
Brent and Michala were married at the Tan-Tar-A Resort in an outdoor ceremony. It couldn't have been a more sunny and clear afternoon for such an occasion. The Windgate Balcony at Tan-Tar-A overlooks the Lake of the Ozarks and all the rolling hills of Missouri. An aisle runner with the couple's logo (from their pocket invitations) lined the path of the balcony with green parasol's for guests to use to shade themselves, and fan programs were the perfect touch for a self propelled breeze. Brent and Michala felt strongly about confessing their love to each other by writing their own vows, and they really choked all of us up reading their vows to each other! It was truly from the heart, and it is such a blessing to see two deserving people find their soul mate.

Congratulations Brent + Michala!

Brent and Michala are getting married today! About right now we are all probably playing in the Lake of the Ozarks on jet ski's before the evening ceremony. Can't wait to share Michala's wedding details with you next week!

Sneak Peak: Damask Pocket Fold.

There is a lot of Damask around the workroom right now. It's a very traditional and popular choice with brides right now. Here's a sneak peak at these absolutely breathtaking pocket folds for Ashley and Nathan.

New Address Stamp.

When I got back in town from a weekend trip, this was waiting on me! A custom address stamp from Primele. And what cute packaging. Natural and a little prissy at the same time. They also offer hand lettered calligraphy for your wedding invites to add something special. Super excited to use this on our house warming invitations next month.

Contingency Wedding Ceremony Decor for Under $500.

The call came Monday morning. We're implementing the contingency plan, and we need the decorate the breezeway. It had been a 100 degree heat index for the past week with afternoon thunderstorms every day right around ceremony time. It was a good decision, but there was no need for any real decorations if the ceremony were held outside. All we needed was mother nature out there. Expecting the worst, since I had not laid eyes this breezeway in person, I started brainstorming, going off of this picture. Not real appealing with all the golf carts, right? BTW, this is Rock Creek Golf Club in Fairhope, Alabama.

The Knot has great photo galleries. Fabulous for inspiration. I came across this picture, and it was perfect.

I called Miller's Grand Events in Daphne, Alabama to find out what sort of "altar" they would have available 4 days in advance. The Colonnade (below) is what we got. For only $150 - not a bad price.

Not only did we reserve the Colonnade, we reserved twelve 9" cylinder vases ($3 each) and 2 black candelabras ($35 each). We were also concerned about the flooring - it's black and rubbery, sticks to fabric (e.g. wedding gowns) and rubs off black onto everything. Without time to order an aisle runner online...one without a pattern...I grabbed one from Hobby Lobby for $35 along with:

• 22 6" white pillar candles ($9 for two)
• hot pink sand ($12)...yes, they make hot pink sand
• a large paper S ($8)
• black chiffon for draping ($75)

 The grand total was $485. And for 4 days notice, I think it looked pretty awesome.

It was a beautiful wedding and the custom aisle runner really set everything off right. The flowers were left over from the rehearsal dinner the night before - also stunning from Southern Veranda. And aren't we glad we were inside, because it started raining right before the ceremony. Rock Creek asked a photographer to come in and take pictures before the ceremony to use on their marketing materials and website...they said it was the prettiest wedding they have ever had. And that says a lot because it was in the breezeway, instead of their beautiful and landscaped fairway. Excited to know that something we pulled off in 4 days turned out that well!

The inside of Rock Creek was set up with 7 rounds, black table clothes, with damask runners (courtesy of the MOG) and hot pink Gerber daisies. More pictures to come when the fabulous photog [Pleasantries Photography] gets everything edited.

Pocket Fold Wedding Invitations in Clover & Pink.

Dear friends of ours, Brent and Michala, are getting married this July. Brent and I met one weekend when we had a big group in town for some fun. He told my hubby and me about how wonderful Michala is, and I knew whoever this lady was, that she had her hands full and must have been perfect for him. (love ya, Brent!)

I had the pleasure of meeting Michala for the first time at my wedding. And I knew. I knew right there on the dance floor that they were a great couple. They both have a work hard / play hard mentality. We were all surprised (even Michala, I think) when Brent popped the question. You see, every time we asked if they were going to get married - because we all knew they would eventually - they replied that they were taking their time.

I was very excited to get an email from Michala to work on her invitations, programs, favors and wine labels. The destination wedding is at a resort in Lake of the Ozarks, MO and, we are patiently (er, not so patiently) awaiting the trip.

Now the the invitations are officially out...here they are. These have to be some of my favorite invitations so far!

Looking forward to the fan programs, favors and wine labels soon!

Chartreuse + Plum Spring Wedding Details

Monograms are H-O-T and it's a great way to personalize (obviously!) your wedding details. It can go on just about anything... programs, favors, cake, wine labels, isle runner, guest book...you can even put it in lights! A little tip... choose a script font from your monogram and then a plain font to accent with. It helps balance things out and create cohesive design.
