I’m excited to share this week’s Engagement Photo Friday with you all. I don’t normally preface these posts with anything, but considering Lauren has a cute little Etsy shop, and is a local blogger I love to follow. She’s crafty, and adorable. And, her engagement photos (taken by the fabulous Lisa) are seriously wonderful.

Posting will remain light until after the Landlocked Bride’s wedding and return from her honeymoon.
I may live in the Midwest, but I seriously channel my inner Southern girl when it comes to menswear at weddings. I’m so over the matchy-matchy vests and ties (and you should be as well). And, while I love a good colorful tie (I should, our groomsmen will be sporting them), I’m a big ‘ol sucker for a man in a bow tie. Well, really, I’m just a sucker for a bow tie. Period.
And, how could you not be?

So, do you prefer a plain tie, a quirky bow tie, or the traditional matchy vest/tie combo?
Taking cues from a good friend’s wedding, and Abby from Life in the Super Burbs, I love a bride who embraces TOMS shoes. Especially the colorful ones!

So, I may be a tad biased, considering this little one’s sister-in-law happens to be a bride (and friend) of mine. Not only did she dance her little tushy off for a good portion of the night, she told guests “Hi” as she walked down the aisle, and said “Cheese” anytime you wanted to take a photo of her. I think that automatically qualifies her as the most adorable flower girl.
