Orlando photographer Lori Barbely sent over this wedding, and when I saw the details, beautiful venue, and the glowing bride and groom, I was in love! An event at any type of artistic venue like the Maitland Arts Center is always sure to be amazing, and this wedding is certainly one of them. Oh, and the Blackberry addicted bride…a girl after my own heart (except mine is an iPhone…same idea though)!
You may recall the Sneak Peek of this wedding that I posted a little over a month ago. When Becka of Studio 222 Photography posted more of the photos, I couldn’t wait until Wednesday for my usual Real Wedding post!
As I wrote in the Sneak Peek post, this wedding was the very first wedding that I coordinated on my own, so it holds a special place in my heart. It definitely helped to have the amazing photography duo of Studio 222, and of course the wonderful bride and groom, Sarah and Roger.
Sarah wanted a rustic fall wedding, and it was all that and more- complete with pumpkins, mason jars, haystacks, and of course a Gator game! The DIY elements that Sarah and her family put together completed the whole wedding. And let’s not forget about the beautiful venue, Black Diamond Ranch and Country Club. It was absolutely beautiful, the weather was great, and everyone had a great time!
Even though the holiday crafts are beckoning to me, I thought we needed some wedding related DIY goodness today. For some reason, I absolutely love table numbers, and when I saw these, I thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”
These illuminated table numbers were featured on the Intimate Weddings Blog and were made by Tuppence of Momfetti. Tuppence used these as her table numbers and they came out beautifully! The elegant paper combined with the glow from the candlelight adds instant intimacy to any event.

The full instructions can be found {HERE}…it seems easy enough! (I actually almost got up to make some for myself, but then I realized that I didn’t need table numbers anymore.) These would also be great for some sort of themed party. You can easily change the look of them depending on the font, shapes and paper you use! Plus, they’re functional and are a perfect way to add some decor to your event! Who else is loving these table numbers?
I’ve never been the one that wakes up at 4 AM to go shop Black Friday deals. It must be my mom’s fault, because she never wanted to partake in the post Thanksgiving deal finding. But why participate in Black Friday when you have the internet?! Most internet retailers are now offering deals over the weekend, as well as on Monday, which has been dubbed “Cyber Monday”.
These are just a few of the stores offering deals online:
I know these are just a few of the stores offering deals, and there are a ton more online! However, after seeing some of the deals at clothing stores, I just might have to stop in to try some things on. Other than that, all of my shopping will be done online this year! What other stores are offering great deals online? Did anyone hit the stores for Black Friday this year?
