It’s not that the details aren’t important, but they really help to make the day. So even the smallest of things, like a hanger, or cufflinks, or even the escort cards may be just a small part of the day – but they can leave a lasting impression on guests, and even in the photos.

Sometimes details are best when color coordinated. So, why not use a good balance of your core colors, but be sure to tie it all together with a neutral, like white.

Some of us love our pets (me included). So much so in fact that we want to include them in our weddings. I don’t blame anyone for wanting to do this. I quite think my pup is the coolest, more adorable dog on the planet, and if it weren’t for the fact that the Pilot and I are having quite a large wedding with everyone staying in hotels, we would have included her.
So, how do you include your pup if he/she can be there? Any number of ways!

And, that’s only the start of it. How would you include your pet?
Can’t help but love a sweet and sentimental wedding day accessory. The bride wore a brand new garter on her wedding day, but paired it with her grandma’s. The perfect “something old” and “something blue.”

Yes, that’s right.
It’s hot outside (well, at least in the Midwest). So, why not cool off, right?
Christ and Bo had planned a little fun for their wedding guests after their sweet and intimate ceremony in downtown St. Louis. A little fun in the form of a water balloon fight. And, I cannot get over how fantastic these images are, not to mention how gorgeous the light is.

Obviously, not every bride is going to be game for launching water balloons back and forth with her groom, but you cannot deny that the idea is definitely a fun one!
While you’re busy keeping it simple, remember to keep it fun, too. After all, this should be one of the happiest days of your life, and you should spend it having fun*.

*Yes, that is Elmo. And, yes, I find it extremely hilarious. As should you.
When your venue(s) has a ton of character, why over complicate things? Well, really, why over complicate things, period? Keep your details simple and meaningful. And, use your surroundings to your advantage.

Every bride does not find the details important. Which is totes fine. If we were all into details, our lives would not be unique.
But, I digress.
To some of us the details definitely make a different. And, who cares if not everyone notices? Some people will. And, as long as you’re happy with the details, that’s all that matters.
Like, having the wedding party share the story of how you and your significant other met.
Or picking out little embellishments that matter to you.
And, decorating a venue to your exact liking.

What details matter to you?
And, stay tuned in the future for more of the “it’s all in the details” posts.
