LOVE. Sweet Love.

This post is about two things. One, incorporating banners into weddings. I LOVE BANNERS - this one is burlap but if you search wedding banner on etsy the options are astounding. I decided to drape mine in front of my wedding table, but they really can be put anywhere. The other thing this post is about is incorporating song lyrics into your wedding. This one is very subtle, but I was going for the song "Love, Sweet Love." I think it works pretty well and says a lot about who my husband and I are as people and the type of mood we wanted to set for our wedding.

Wedding Song of the Week(ish)

So not only have I not written a blog post in what feels like a bazillion and one years - I haven't done a song of the week (which has now turned into song of the couple of weeks or whenever I get around to it). Anyway, for those of you who saw 500 Days of Summer (and fell in love with Joseph Gordon Levitt just as hard I did) you'll recognize this song. I think Regina Spektor is one of the greatest female vocalists of our time. I love her voice. I love this song. I think it works well because its not slow and it's epic and beautiful. My husband and I put it on our wedding CD. LISTEN. ENJOY.

FANTABULOUS guest book idea

I LOVE THIS IDEA! It's a perfect mix of my two (ridiculous) obsessions - Polaroids and chalk boards. Have your guests write a message on a mini chalkboard and then, get this, TAKE A PICTURE OF IT WITH A POLAROID. AH, I just love it. Also, honestly, its a great way to get pictures of everyone from your wedding - we (unfortunately) didn't get a picture of EVERYONE who showed up (which wound up being both good and BAD) but still. LOVE. IT.
