I ♥ Parasols

I have recently fallen in love with wedding parasols! There are so many ways to incorporate these into photos and even the ceremony. Here are a few of my faves I've seen so far...

Inspiration Board :: Fall Colors

I love fall colors! Chocolate brown, scarlet red, brilliant orange, gold and bronze... it's a color combination like no other! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year (maybe that's why I had my own wedding in the fall!). Let the colors of the season inspire you!

A Fall Pumpkin Proposal

Sweet marriage proposals always bring a tear to my eye! I stumbled across one story today that is perfect for a fall proposal, along with being completely unique and over the top! A thousand pumpkins in a field spelled out the big question! Congratulations to this lucky bride-to-be, and kudos to the groom for a job well done!

Congratulations Cathy & Stefan

Our Saturday wedding was for Cathy & Stefan, a military couple who live out of state and got married here in the groom's home town. Their outdoor ceremony was held at the beautiful Milan Villa Bed & Breakfast in Norwalk, and the drizzle of rain stopped long enough for them to have a perfect ceremony on the breezeway. Immediately following was the reception at the Erie County Conservation League in Milan. The ceremony was accented with red pomanders, and the reception was set in ivory & navy blue with gold accents. Congrats to Cathy & Stefan, such a sweet young couple!

Congratulations Jaime & Adam!

This weekend we had two weddings, and Jaime & Adam were our first couple on Friday evening. They had a beautiful fall-colored ceremony and reception at Spring Lake Party Center in Akron. The weather was absolutely perfect for their sunset lakeside gazebo ceremony! Best wishes and congratulations to Jaime and Adam!

Special Touch :: Chair Tags

At last weekend's wedding, the bride provided these amazing chair tags for herself and the groom. I absolutely love the personal touch these added, incorporating the wedding colors and a bit of sparkle in the letters. After all, it's the little details that make all the difference...

DIY Project :: Take this a step further and make chair tags as place cards for each person in the wedding party, or even the entire guest list. Instead of a card on the table, hang a tag on the chair.

CostofWedding.com

Most of the time when I first sit down with a couple, they either don't know their budget or say they don't have one. Spending can get out of control FAST that way, so we always try to give our couples worksheets and tips for staying on budget.

CostofWedding.com is a new tool that everyone's buzzing about. It allows you to see what the average cost of a wedding is in your specific area. Just enter your zip code and it will tell you all the stats in detail about what the people in your area are spending, and what they're spending it on. This won't set your budget for you, but it will give you a good idea as to what you can expect to spend.

We even added a widget to our page for easy access. Check it out over on the right-hand column!
