Now on to the Real Wedding! This one was sent over by Matt Brodie of Brodiefoto, a member of the Columbia, SC studio. I love the crisp colors in the photos, the hydrangea cake, and the pure happiness that shines in these captured moments.

From Brodiefoto: A misty spring rain lent a lovely, soft atmosphere to Teresa and Eric’s romantic and intimate wedding. The couple exchanged vows overlooking acres of gorgeous lakefront property at Timberlake Country Club in Chapin, with a hundred of their closest family and friends looking on. Read more…

Happy Friday lovlies! I hope that you got treated like the sweeties you are yesterday and that you gave a little sweetness in return. Hubby surprised me Wednesday night with dinner at a sweet little restaurant and then a performance at the Tennessee Theater.  We’re not usually big Valentines day celebrators but this year it did give us an excuse to treat ourselves to some yummy food and the performance just happened to fall the day before. For those of you who got something a little sparkly yesterday, Congratulations! We can’t wait to help you with your big day!

Now on with the DIY! What I love most about this project is that it’s so easy to customize, it makes a bit impact, and you can use some recycled supplies! Read more…

I’m going to speak from experience here so this is coming from Lindsey the Bride, not Lindsey the Wedding 101 gal. Read more…

I’m all about some rope right now. Wednesday’s post has it on my brain. In fact, I’m DIYing some rope wrapped or knotted (haven’t decided yet) rope pulls for a little dining room buffet revamp this weekend! While the DIY is technically called ‘Nautical’ I think it also fits in the realm of vintage, rustic, industrial too. Super easy to make and if you save glass jelly, peanut butter, and pickle jars like me… you won’t even have to pay for the vase. Just the rope and glue! Read more…
