Etsy Friday Favorite...custom wedding chair signs

 

We couldn't have been happier with the custom wedding chair signs from "Our Hobby to Your Home".  I found them on Etsy and picked the font, color and ribbon for our signs.  They have many options to choose from and much more than just chair signs to pick from.  It provided a special touch to the seating and gave the bride and groom a feeling of pride.

Happy Anniversary!

After several months of planning Allison and Blake's wedding, I am celebrating 26 years of marriage to my high school sweetheart!  Time flies.

Etsy Friday Favorites... Welcome Bags

We had a vision in mind of how we wanted the "Welcome Bags" to look and what we wanted in them   for out of town guests and relied on Etsy for several items.  The water bottle labels, Hershey kisses sticker and Kleenex tissues turned out precious and added such a personal touch.  We included our  own custom map and a salty snack as well.

1. "Hugs and Kisses" stickers,  Ladybug Labels
2. "Love" Water Bottle stickers, Natalily Designs
3. "Tears of Joy" Kleenex Tissue, Tiggagator

We received numerous compliments on our bags and were very pleased how it all turned out.  The flower girl dresses, bride and groom chair signs, jewelry and parting gifts also were bought on Etsy.  I will share those in the coming weeks.  (ps...Aqua Fina water bottles worked great because the center, where the label is placed is smooth.  Many bottles are bumpy!)

Beautiful Bride!

I have been planning our daughter's wedding since October and the cute couple was married two weeks ago.  Here is one of our favorites from her bridal portrait session.

We couldn't have been more please with our photographer, Jennefer Wilson, and the beautiful quality of work she does.  Finding her was a real gift!  Check out the rest of the photo session and I'll share wedding pictures as soon as they are available.

Etsy Friday Favorite

I discovered this darling Etsy shop, Melangerie Inc., last week while searching for tote bags.

I just love all of the great things that Melangerie offers and each item is so unique and designed with you in mind.  I picked these 3 because I'd love to have them all for our daughter's wedding.  The tote would be great for "welcome gifts", the dirty laundry would be fun to use at a shower and the Save the Date card is precious!  Do you see a color trend here?  Please visit her Etsy store and see all the lovely things she has.

Honeymoon destination .... Little Dix Bay

Our daughter is thinking of honeymoon options and I think it will be fun to blog about some of her choices and dream destinations.  First off is a Rosewood Hotel, Little Dix Bay in the BVI.

 Rosewood Little Dix Bay sits on a crescent-shaped bay on the island of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. Elegantly appointed accommodations blend unobtrusively into the surrounding landscape and are located steps from the beach. Guests can enjoy a wide array of activities such as diving, snorkeling, watersports and hiking. World-class amenities, including three distinctive dining venues, Sense, A Rosewood Spa®, tennis, fitness facility and children's center, complete the experience.  For more beautiful photos and information check out their site.
