landlocked bride

planning a modern wedding in the middle of the country

While kids don’t always fit in at weddings, these ones sure do!

Who said the bride has to wear stilettos?

I’m type A (in case you’re wondering), so the details are pretty important to me. And, while details are not important to everyone (which is perfectly okay), it really is the details in a wedding that help bring everything together.

See this gorgeous bouquet?

It ties in nicely with these pillows featured on the bride and groom’s chairs at the reception (the wheat).

And, work great with the place card holders (pine cone).

While most guests won’t outright notice each minor detail, they will notice personality and cohesiveness. And, I’m definitely not suggesting spending a fortune on your wedding, because, at the end of the day, you don’t truly need to.Just  take the time to plan out the details – make sure they make sense for the wedding, and for you and your significant other, as a couple.

The Pilot and I surely met in a bar thanks to two great friends (who happen to be our maid of honor and best man), but this isn’t about us.

This bride and groom met at a local hot spot here in town, The Dubliner.  So, on their wedding day, photographer Clary Pfeiffer snapped a few shots of them visiting the place that started it all.

I love a good “opposite” color combo when it comes to wedding parties.  There is something about the bride carrying a colorful bouquet that just really pops against her white gown. It’s even more gorgeous when it is a dramatic combo such as black and white.  Midnight callas are so pretty.

Shauna Younge of Shauna Younge Dessert Tables sent me another great dessert table she designed. This time, she avoided the tradition reds and pinks associated with Valentine’s Day, and instead used a palette of pinks and blues to create a fun-loving and chic table set-up. It may be early in the morning, but this table sure does make me hungry!
