Tree Branches: How to Incorporate Them into Your Wedding Style

Tree's dont just have to mean rustic.  Using crystals with candles underneath makes hanging crystals glisten. Or incorporating flowers you use elsewhere in your decor will really pop next to the branches.

Rafting 2010

I forgot my camera for the actual rafting part, but here are some pictures of us camping. Beth took some rafting pictures so I will post those when she emails them to me!
Here is Amber.

Will and I in the morning.

The dogs were so worn out.

The view from our tent.

Setting up camp and getting ready for dinner. I cooked bratwurst, baked beans and mac n cheese for dinner!



So cute.

So Excited to go Rafting

So they were a lot more excited the 1st time I let them out. :)

Against a veil? How about a pretty hairpiece?

Not going for the classic wedding veil?  Good news, headpieces are a great modern alternative.  Or have you thought about what you'll wear at the reception once you have your veil off?

I've featured some of my favorites.


The following are from Twigs & Honey:
