All My Days (song of the week)

Okay so there are a ton of great things about this post/song. The first one is this song is one of my all time favorite love songs. It's so beautiful (what an epic voice). The second great thing about this post is that it's an actual live performance of Alexi Murdoch (who is super adorable so you get to look at him). The third best thing about this song is that it's featured in the movie Away We Go with John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph (my two favorite people in the world). Enjoy the song of the week (pretty sure no one noticed I missed last week).

Mason Jar Love

This blog post is slightly about how cool I am. So those who know me, know that I spent about a bazillion dollars on mason jars for my wedding. I love them. Honestly, I think the best way to use them is for drinking glasses. So as you can see, a super great idea is to (do like I did) and get cheap chalkboard decals (I'm also obsessed with chalk boards too) and have guests write their name on them and use them as glasses for the night. I doubled this as my favors and my guests raved about it.

(yes, this picture is from my wedding!)

Vintage Typewriters

So ever since I could possibly remember (and even more so when I knew I wanted to be a writer) I was obsessed with typewriters. Now that they are  completely aged out (sigh, technology) it seems like such a sweet vintage idea to have one at a wedding. What an an adorable idea using a typewriter as a guest book. How. Sweet. Seriously. (I've also been watching too much Mad Men lately)

Make You Feel My Love (wedding song of the week)

I love this song. I love Adele. It's more of a traditional song but I think it's perfect for a first dance (especially if you're like my husband and I and think swaying is the best way to go). Honestly, this song makes me tear up. It's stunning. Enjoy.

Offbeat Dining

At my wedding we had the standard round tables, but since I've become a planner I've been absolutely obsessed with using long tables versus round tables. Here are a couple of amazing examples of how to use the long table to make your wedding absolutely stunning.

Never Had Nobody Like You - Song of the Week

So I'm in LOVE with M. Ward - and this is my absolute favorite song by him.I know you'll love it too!

Inspiration: "Wedding Under the Trees"

For anyone who is getting married in an indoor venue who (like me) steers away from a traditional look - I don't think there is anything better than giving an indoor wedding that "outdoors - under the trees type" romantic feel. It's pretty simple to do. Low-hanging string lights, candles (I prefer mason jars with votive candles) and low minimalist flower centerpieces.
