Elegant Woodland Wedding

 A little mix of luxurious, vintage, and woodland rustic paints the picture for this beautiful wedding scene.  The beyond talented designers over at Nashville's Cedarwood  and photographer Krystal Mann were the masterminds behind the shoot. Featuring vintage china, gilded mirrors, eclectic family heirlooms, and flea market finds; these elegant props contrast perfectly against the rustic landscape.  Oh and did I mention the flowers? Wow - my head is spinning from the assorted bloom and fruit bouquets!

DIY Hot Cocoa Favor

On this chilly fall afternoon, nothing sounds better than a nice warm cup of hot cocoa. So I got to thinking, hot cocoa would also make a great fall wedding favor! Here is an easy DIY that's guaranteed to warm the hearts of all in attendance!

Here's what you will need:
  • Hot chocolate mix (Store bought or if you really want to be ambitious, give this DIY a try!)
  • Marshmallows (Store bought or if you really want to be ambitious, give this DIY a try!)
  • Powdered sugar
  • Heart cut out
  • Mason jars 
  • Pretty ribbons, tags, and packaging (Get creative)



Directions:

1) Cut marshmallows in half horizontally. Then using heart cut out, press through the center of the marshmallows.


2) Because the marshmallows will be sticky, dip the sticky side of each marshmallow into the powdered sugar. This will keep them from sticking to the bag upon packaging.



 3)  Package marshmallows in bag and fill mason jar with hot cocoa mix.


4) Lastly, creatively decorate each mason jar!

Target Field Wedding

This post has a very special place in my heart because the beautiful bride is my cousin! As little girls we were inseparable, and now seeing the gorgeous woman she has grown into and getting to share her fairytale wedding truly makes my heart sing!

Tiffany and her amazing hubby married this summer at Target Field, home of the Minnesota Twins! I couldn't think of a more fitting location for the couple's big day. The day painted a picture of who the couple is which made it so much more intimate and personal for all in attendance. ARC Photography captured beyond fabulous pictures of the day that I am so excited to share. Much love and congrats you two!
