My heart warms every time I get to see a wedding where high school sweethearts walk down the aisle. And it's not only because me and my husband fell in love in those same years, but it's also because of the ease and comfort between the lovebirds that makes this type of wedding so special.

We are all smiles and giggles after seeing this gorgeous wedding from Kelly Pratt Photography and we think it has something to do with that adorable little boy and the so-super-cute family portrait he drew just for his parent’s big day.

I actually saved my favorite Delphine post for last...how stinking cute are these coffee stir sticks and customized napkins? LOVE (shouting from the rooftops!).

A few more invitation designs by Delphine to inspire your Monday! This first one is based on that charcoal grey that I love so much, though this time paired with a clean white. The end result is, well, stunning.
I love that there is basically an invitation for every style of wedding...from the clean and modern, to the sweet and feminine, the palettes and the designs offer something for everyone really.
So...
