BE YOURSELF!

The pictures of this unique wedding shot by Kevin Besley are incredible - I love all the details from the feathers, to the brightly colored groomsmen shirts, to the black birdcage veil. While the wedding style and decor may not fit into most couples idea of a wedding, it obviously fits the couple perfectly. The incredibly happy expressions on everyone’s faces speak for themselves. Lesson learned! Don’t be afraid to show your personality at your wedding.

You can see more pictures of this New Orleans City Park Wedding here (and a preview post here).




Also, be sure to check out this couple’s engagement shoot. Here is a little teaser:

Peel and stick photo frames??? Yes please! I was shopping at a local bookstore yesterday and came across these adorable REUSABLE peel and stick photo frames. I even bought a pack of the black for myself. So far I love them! The frames are available in black, pink, and zebra (glam) and would be perfect for an event. You could create a wall collage (get your permission from your venue first) or even put a piece of plastic over the picture (but under the frame) and stick a grouping on your dance floor. Too much fun!!!

Stop by Butch & harold to see all their goodies. I am dying to try some of their wall art.

I just received some great samples in the mail from Wonderful Graffiti - a company based out of Columbus, Ohio.

What is Graffiti? (from the website)
Graffiti is very thin pieces of matte vinyl that look “printed” when applied to most smooth surfaces.
Your entire wedding Graffiti design arrives on one sheet of transfer paper.
Just tape the transfer paper into place, burnish it down and peel it away.
Only the individual letters and graphic elements remain.
Wonderful Graffiti removes quickly, and won’t harm underlying surfaces.

How fun is that?!? - and affordable too. I love the idea of using it on the dance floor and your getaway car!

Would you use Wonderful Graffiti at your wedding? If so, how?
