Real Wedding Inspiration Board, III

More from Melinda! As I mentioned before, it was so important to me to feel that everyone was involved and a huge part of the day. A long time family friend of the Moore family, who married Danielle and Lee on their wedding day, also married us. We included a reading in our ceremony that was read by Cass’s sister, Danielle. I carried my grandmothers rosary and a handkerchief that Danielle had embroidered with my wedding day, and the word “Sisters” above the date.[MORE]

A Real Wedding, II

A bit more from Melinda... Once I had my dress and the colors picked out, the rest was easy! I used a color palette of black and linen for the rest of the décor. The final inspiration for the rest of the wedding came from a piece of fabric called Waverly Damask (see picture). As I was on a budget, and I did not want to interfere with the natural environment of the location too much, I decided to buy a bolt of the fabric off eBay and have them made into tablecloths...

A Real Wedding, III

IF you are just checking in, we are talking to Danielle...an SMP reader who sent us the gorgeous details from her own real wedding! From Danielle... I knew the most important things to me when looking at my budget were location, pictures and food. I spent the majority of my money there and then really budgeted the rest. I knew I could have the wedding of my dreams if I just really put my mind to it and chose the right elements. I also wanted a wedding that was not the... [MORE]

A Real Wedding

You guys are in for such a treat today. I am madly in love (and although I throw that around quite often, I really do mean it) with this SMP reader's wedding.

Danielle was on a budget and STILL managed to pull off this lovely wedding. I have more pictures and brilliant details coming... [MORE]

Spring is in the air! Okay, it's still in the thirties here in Boston, but I am trying to stay positive. So, what better way to celebrate spring, than to feature a yellow and white inspired wedding!

Her work is so fresh...playful when it should be, while still being oh-so-elegant and chic. You can see that TLC went... [MORE]
