We all love posey photos (Well, I don’t, but maybe you do. However, I do really love this photo).
I quite personally love photos like this instead. They tell the true story.

Do yourself a favor and ask your photographer to have fun too. Kudos to Bobbi and Mike for always bringing the fun and the creative.
Completely swooning over the bridesmaids’ attire. Why didn’t I think of this for my girls? Doesn’t exactly fit the feel of our wedding, but totally works for this wedding.

And, that my friends, is your clue to get creative! A bridesmaid does not always have to wear a dress!
Hi, my name is Brit and I have a problem. Mostly an obsession. With Colorado weddings. And, this gorgeous one took place at Crystal Farms Ranch in Aspen, CO.

As much as I love a good “dress in the window” shot. I love doing something different a whole lot more.

It should be no secret that I love balloons (see: Engagement Photos).
So, of course I love the look of this ceremony decor. What I love even more is the fact that the balloons are all at different heights. Gives the space (well, outdoor space) character and depth.

How can you not love anything and everything monogram? Many of the things around my place have monograms, but I took a liking to them at a young age.
I really love the tradition of them and their use in weddings. But what I love even more is when they are incorporated in a unique way, rather than on an invitation.

You heard me right. Rent your wedding day jewelry. As my friend, Kate, said, “It’s a great way to wear a $12,000 necklace without having to spend $12,000.” And, she couldn’t be more true. Not everyone can afford to spend a pretty penny on diamonds for their wedding day, so why not rent a pair of earrings or a necklace? Obviously, this isn’t for everyone, but I couldn’t help but share the great possibilities out there.
Check out Adorn Brides for images of all of their pieces. Here are two of my favorites!

I love rice krispy treats. A lot. I also love variations of them (chocolate rice krispy treats, fruity pebbles treats, etc.).
I don’t love them enough to have a rice krispy wedding cake, but I do love this idea. Why have a wedding cake if you don’t like wedding cake? Not everyone does (hence, I have previously suggested a buffet of pies).

One of the good things that has come out of me starting this blog (out of the many), is that my friends are always on the lookout for things for me to blog about. They always want me to have fresh content – which I LOVE and appreciate.
A friend from high school, who got engaged not to long ago, sent me the link to 1154 Lill Studio. Now, I bookmarked this site a while back with the intention of blogging about it to you all, but in all the hoopla of the fantastic things I find on a daily basis, it completely slipped my mind. That is, until she sent me a message about it.
1154 Lill Studio has revolutionized the handbag/tote industry. The shop gives you the opportunity to completely customize a handbag, clutch, tote, etc. Not only that, but you can customize everything down to what the pattern is for the lining.
My favorite is the above clutch, called Erinn. You can pick the fabric for the top band, the rest of the bag, and the lining, giving you the opportunity to choose up to three different fabrics in their collection. And, my favorite of their fabrics is Red Rocks.

These bags make great gifts for anyone – moms, friends, etc. So, if you haven’t been there already, check out their site and play around with their options! You’ll probably find something for yourself or a friend (and with the holidays around the corner – these would make great holiday gifts)!
Yeah, I love bows. My girls’ clutches will have a bow (a very chic one, might I add).
But, when I came across this dress (the one in the middle), I decided I had to have it. For what? Not sure yet. I first need to find out who makes this dress. So…if you know, let me know! Love the color, too!
