E-Session Preview

This past weekend Daniel and I had our e-session with the talented Jason of Staja Studios. As you can imagine, I am dying with excitement to see the pictures. So thankfully in the mean time I am tied over with this little preview from our session!

For this shot, I hung my Mason Jar Lantern DIY from a beautiful old oak.

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!

Rustic Dream Wedding

I am in LOVE with this rustically gorgeous wedding from Wild Flowers Photography! A beautiful fall day creates the perfect scene for this couple's outdoor ceremony and reception, topped off with dancing under the stars. Adding to this enchanting day are endless vintage decor details, wedding party photos in a pumpkin-patch, hay bale seating, mason jar lanterns, and countless delicious desserts! Every girls dream wedding am I right?!
