Today’s real wedding from Hilton Pittman Photography is pure romance. From the bride’s gorgeous dress to the simple centerpieces, this North Carolina wedding has just the right amount of southern charm.

I’m really feeling the modern, chic combination of pink and gray this week. I apologize if I’m using too much gray, but I promise, I’ll get it out of my system soon! I like the pale pink with a pale gray. It’s so very simple, clean, and chic.

I’m definitely sensing a photo shoot with this vibe- what do you think?

…my husband and I got married! Yesterday we celebrated our 1 year anniversary! We didn’t do anything special, but it was awesome for the two of us to be able to spend the whole day together because we’re always on completely opposite schedules. We spent the afternoon at the beach, and apparently we forgot how strong the sun is (haven’t been to the beach since our honeymoon last year), so now we’re incredibly sunburnt. Wish us luck in functioning for the next week!

 

I think I’m kind of obligated to share some photos from our wedding. But first, a disclaimer: You all know how I feel about photography and decor. Most of my opinions and feelings have come from my own experiences, and I in no way would do the same things for my wedding again. It was a beautiful wedding, but totally not what I would do now, and definitely not the style of photography I would have. —- Okay, so now that I’ve said all that, some photos from 1 year ago!

Oh yes, so many things that I would do differently now. But there you have it- my wedding, one year ago. Perhaps I should do a post all about what exactly I would have done differently. What do you think?

 

And a little something for my husband, Schuyler: I love you more as each day passes. I can’t wait for what the future holds for us! Now for the next week he and I will revel in the fact that a year ago we were having the time of our lives on our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic- not quite as sunburnt as we are now…

I was talking to my friend yesterday about how amazing she and her bridesmaids are going to look, and so I thought I would share some great bridesmaid looks that are around the internet! I definitely love the look of a spectrum of colors, but some brides might not be completely comfortable with their bridesmaids having to search for dresses.

It’s definitely all in the accessories, especially if the dresses are the same. Belts/sashes, hairpieces, necklaces- things that will stand out a little bit.

And a big plus: if you need a gift idea, get your bridesmaids their accessories, and you’re all set! It’s also pretty cool to have all different accessories though, especially if you’re going for a more eclectic look for your wedding. And now, I’ve caught the bug, and I will spend all day looking for awesome bridesmaid accessories…
