VacationMy husband and I shared our 1st anniversary yesterday, and to celebrate, we are dedicating time out with each other to get away and grow in our beautiful marriage. Until July 6, I will be out of the office, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. I leave you with this gorgeous picture from One Love Photo. And as they say so beautifully in French, au revoir, for now. Have a safe and happy 4th of July! God bless this country, our freedom, and our military that keeps us free.
Hot Cakes!Some time ago, I ran across what has become one of my favorite bakeries for incredible inspiration: Vanilla Bake Shop. I simply had to post a few of their creative, fun, and unique designs. Want more inspiration? Head on over to their gallery for a whole slew of ideas. They also have adorable cupcake and dessert bar ideas.
Aqua and YellowThis week, it's all about the bright and fun! These colors make me think of sitting on the beach in the Caribbean, relaxing under a big umbrella, frozen lemonade in hand. Blending the colors of the ocean and sunshine create a cheery, upbeat wedding day vibe.

Edible CenterpiecesThis past weekend, I flew down to Mississippi to celebrate my niece's first birthday and baptism. On the plane ride down, I was surprised to find wedding inspiration in my front seat pocket. We've all seen the SkyMall catalogs a few too many times, but somehow I always end up flipping through them. This time though, this giant cupcake pan caught my eye. What a fun (and inexpensive) centerpiece idea! The SkyMall can provide the pan; then all you need is a few family members and friends in the kitchen for a baking party. Not only is this giant cupcake unique and fun, but it doubles as both a centerpiece and dessert. For brides on a budget, it doesn't get much better!

No Ordinary CeremonyI saw this article on Yahoo earlier today and just had to share it with my readers. In case you missed it, the couple pictured below (Noah Fulmore and Erin Finnegan) are planning their June 20 wedding in zero gravity. That's right, the couple will say "I do" in a plane that plummets 12,000 feet, allowing them to experience weightlessness. Their nuptials will be witnessed by a few close friends.The reason for the "out-of-this-world" vows? Aside from wanting to do something truly unique, the couple finds a deeper meaning in their ceremony plans. The groom was quoted saying, "I think we will spend some of our married life simply paying off the expense, but I think that weightlessness is probably the best metaphor for love that one can experience." Well put! Congrats to you, Noah and Erin, for your creative and extraordinary plans!

MetalsThis week, I am featuring colors, textures, and designs that blend to create a modern wedding reception. The polished metal is very contemporary, and the use of metals provides an upscale, lavish aura.
