Vintage Navy Wedding
Here are a few pics I snapped from a wedding our company did the other week. Lynn Nelson was the planner and I was the assistant planner. The venue was the Thomas Birkby House in Leesburg, Virginia.
I absolutely love hydrangeas… the last picture is a bunch of them that I was able to snag and take home at the end. The wedding was absolutely lovely… totally my wedding colors, Navy and Ivory.
The favors were s’mores…. matches, a graham cracker and some chocolate… how cute?

Nautical Themed Wedding
If I had to pick my wedding colors right now, they would be navy blue and seersucker. And yes, I realize seersucker is not a color, but a type of fabric. And no, I am not engaged, nor am I even dating anyone. But being a wedding planner I’ve pretty much already determined what my entire wedding is going to look like. It’s inevitable… I see pretty things all the time and think “Oh, I’ve got to have that.”
I think guest welcome bags are always a fun idea… I love the idea of filling up a LL Bean boat & tote bag with some local goodies. The bag in the image below is from Martha Stewart Weddings, if you follow the link below it will take you to details on the bag.

I love these table ‘numbers’.

The Jury Is Still Out
I’m not so sure I’m a fan of this new wedding trend:
…crystals in flowers. I’m not digging it. It’s pretty yes, but I think it’s one of those things that in twenty years will make this picture look so dated. Definitely a trend, and one I don’t think is going to stay.

Pretty in Pink
A few photos from last weekend’s wedding. I was assistant coordinator, and the metal folding chairs were not my idea.
It’s amazing how pipe & drape and some good lighting can transform a room… would you believe this is a Knights of Columbus hall?

White Tuxes
I am just not a fan of white tuxes. I know these are really ugly examples, but unless your Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, you have to be really careful to pull it off correctly. First of all tuxes are evening wear and should be worn in the evening- 5pm or later. A lot of people get this wrong- they wear tuxedos, black or otherwise for a wedding at any time of the day. Secondly, and this is just my opinion, I think a white tux only looks good when paired with black pants and a black bow tie. Other than that, I’m not a fan. But if you’re into it, rock it baby.
