    My wedding colors were a combination of various shades of green including sage and cream. I integrated these colors throughout the ceremony and reception. Wanting to be different, I didn’t get the typical bridal bouquet but instead opted for something simpler-a green cymbidium orchid wrist corsage that matched with my husband’s boutonniere and also coordinated well with his green vest and tie. During cocktail hour, guests were treated to Jones’s green apple and cream soda and apple martinis. Later on during the night, we received a lot of compliments and little leftovers of our simply sw...

    I’ve never been a huge fan of the word “theme.” It kind of conjures up thoughts of overdone blah, of too pink, too silly, too everything. And yet writing a wedding blog and having seen literally thousands upon thousands of weddings, I have been proven wrong time and time again. So now, I’m just thinking that we need a new word for theme. How about Inspired? Better, right? Well, this “inspired” wedding captured the subtle beauty of the James J. Hill Library…then took it to an entirely new level. Photographed by Laura Ivanova and designed by the bride with Laura Mullen Event Desig...

    Loyal reader Stephanie emailed to ask if we had any ideas for gardening-related favors.  This was fun to research because I love the idea! Small potted plants are inexpensive, gorgeous favors that can also double as place cards or escort cards.  If you have the time and the talent, why not grow these yourself for the absolute personal touch? Clockwise from top left: {frolic!}, Brides, Martha Stewart, the Knot Seed packets are an elegant alternative, especially using Martha’s origami folders. There are many plantable paper favor options - the seeds for wildflowers are embedded in these ...
