Thank you Martha!

What an amazing blog from my friend, Martha! credit for photos goes to www.kiralaurenphoto.com

This reminds me of Grass Valley! What a gorgeous day!

Look at her veil! How beautiful!

All you need is love.

This cupcake table is cute. I am a fan of regular sized layered cakes because you can do so much with them, plus "cutting the cake" is a really classic, fun part of a wedding. These cupcakes are cute though!

Love those scrapbook pages for guests to write messages!

Love the Paper Lanterns and the light placement.

These are some of the coolest photos- most of my inspiration is from thinking of Bethany's wedding coming summer 2012

Let's finish up the post with a wonderful set of Wedding day tips from http://www.weddingchicks.com/2008/10/16/wedding-day-tips/

TOP TEN TIPS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY

1. Choose if you will see each other before the ceremony for photos or wait until after the ceremony based on the time of year and the time the sun will set. Ask your photographer when the light will be the best for photos.
2. Get a nice hanger for your dress. Have shoes, rings (clean please), and bouquet ready for photos.
3. Be sure that the getting ready room has plenty of natural light, is tidy, and not too crowded with people.
4. If you have a corset style dress, allow 20 minutes for lacing.
5. Shoes, shoes, shoes!!! Every bride wants to wear beautiful shoes on her wedding, but oh, the price she pays in PAIN!! Bring a comfy pair of shoes to wear for your reception.
6. Inform family members and wedding party to stay close after the ceremony.
7. Serve salads BEFORE speeches (if you have salads). Speeches that run long make for wilting salads and put dinner behind schedule.
8. Serve your vendors as you are served so they can take a break and be back for all of the action! No one likes their picture taken while they are eating anyway, so it’s the perfect time.
9. Don’t hold your cake ransom! Cut and serve your cake about an hour after dinner. Guests tend to enjoy their cake and coffee. We are pretty sure that the sugar and caffeine give them a second wind!
10. Enjoy your day, don’t let the little things upset you. It’s a little late at this point to worry about things not being perfect, so just go with the flow and have fun!! Remember, this is about your WEDDING and the commitment you are making to each other – not about your napkins being the wrong color.  It’s a day never to forget. Be humble, graceful, be grateful, and be a beautiful person on your special day.
