2010 is a big year for “firsts” for {ELD}, and today we’re adding one more to the list!

 

Lauren of Ten23Designs has teamed up with {ELD} to do a $25 gift certificate giveaway! Lauren creates custom decals for just about anything! Decals can designed as monograms, a design, your name…Lauren says that if you can think it, she can make it! You can put the decals on your walls, on a dance floor, on a car window…wherever your heart desires! The decals are removable, and they won’t leave behind any sticky residue. These are a great way to add personalization to your wedding, especially if you’re carrying some sort of theme throughout! These are absolutely perfect for a dance floor or decorating your “getaway car”!

This week I’ve decided to add something to the {ELD} Week At A Glance. I’m always coming across helpful blog posts that other people have written. I usually retweet them on Twitter, but I know some of you aren’t on there or perhaps don’t catch my million tweets a day. So starting this week, I’m also going to be including recommended blog posts that I think are insightful, helpful, gorgeous, or any other word that describes something you might want to read!

 

On {ELD} this week:

A Vintage Engagement Session :: Awesomeness!!!!

Inspiration Board: Whimsical Glamour

A Delicate Garden Wedding by La Dolce Vita Studio

I Took The Cheap Photographer Route… :: A warning to brides when looking for their photographers

Walking Down The Aisle?

 

Helpful posts around the blogs this week:

Dear Brides, Grooms Have Feelings Too :: Studio 222 Photography

The Reality of A Backyard Wedding :: Stella Event Design

 

Enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m going to bet it’s safe to say that just about all of you reading {ELD} will be walking down the aisle. Whether it’s soon or in the next couple of years (Note: You could be wearing a bridesmaid dress or tux, and therefore, still considered as walking down the aisle), it’s bound to happen.

 

Cherin of Customized Wedding Creations sent me some photos of her work, and I must say, I definitely wish I had known about her sooner! Cherin creates hand-painted aisle runners, as well as table runners, banners, drapes, and parasols. Everything is handmade (AWESOME!) and completely customized for you.

As a wedding planner, I’m going to tell you this: Cherin’s pricing is extremely competitive with the other aisle runner companies out there, and with those you’re not getting a beautiful and customized hand-painted runner! As a former bride, I’m telling you: how awesome and gorgeous are these?! Definitely go look at more of the cool things you can get from Customized Wedding Creations!

I’m so excited to feature this garden wedding by La Dolce Vita Studio today! Jennifer and Bert’s wedding took place in Jacksonville at the Winterbourne Inn. The simplicity and delicate vintage details exude such a beautiful elegance. And as you all might know, I adore lace dresses! I actually fell in love with a dress very similar to this bride’s dress in my search for the perfect dress!
