Happy Friday!

I am really looking forward to a relaxing weekend.  We're headed to a wedding this evening and then on Sunday we are going to a couple apple orchards in the country!  The hubby wants to get freshly pressed apple cider to brew cider style beers.  Yummers!  I am excited because one of the orchards we're going to has a pick your own pumpkin patch!  I know, I'm like a little kid but I love October and this sort of thing is what makes to cooler weather worth it!   Have a great weekend everyone! 

Casual Chic Wedding

Just have to point you to a wonderful wedding over at Snippet & Ink!  Reading the couples perspective about their wedding reminded me so much of our own feelings 4 years ago. Basically of how they tossed around the idea of eloping but ultimately realized that weddings are in many ways more about your families coming together and connecting than about you two.  This couple kept it casual & relaxed yet very chic to reflect their personal style.  Here's a sampling of pics from their wedding.  You can see more here.

Balloons!

Normally when I think of balloons at an event I think of cheesy prom decorations, retirement parties,.... not something you'd like to include in your wedding in other words.  But these beauties beg to differ.  Instead of the common shiny egg-shaped balloons you can buy at the supermarket, go for a big, perfectly round, matte balloon in a color to coordinate with your wedding.  Even just a single round balloon can be the perfect photo prop!   Scout around locally first but you can also order some here.
