Wedding Wednesday

I am SO sorry that I haven’t posted at all. My router completely fried and we have been without internet since Friday. 
So today I am posting from a friend’s, but I wanted to at least be back for Wedding Wednesday, my favorite day of the week!  Today, I am sharing with you how I asked my bridesmaids. I asked for some assistance on here, but I ultimately decided to do something very low key. 
I ordered these beautiful cards from Rifle Paper Co
And wrote each of the girls, who are all my family (or future family), a letter asking them to be part of my bridal party. 
Very simple. But… I’ve got lots in store for these ladies.
What is the cutest way you’ve heard of asking bridesmaids?

Wedding Wednesday

Hi all, today we have Lara from Simply Irresistible guest posting for our Wedding Wednesday. If you haven’t visited Lara’s blog yet, you really should. The girl is an amazing chef, with an amazing sense of style! Go hurry over there! And today, she has a very special collection of “details” for us.

I’m so excited to be here for a Wedding Wednesday guest post. I’m absolutely positive that Alex’s wedding is going to be beyond fabulous – with her sense of style it’s really impossible for it to be anything but. I’m also in the midst of planning my own wedding (less than 9 months away, ah!!) and it has been nothing but fun. When it comes to wedding planning, the focus is normally on the big decisions (naturally). So much importance is placed on the dress, the invitations, the photographer, the music, the food, the venue (again, naturally). With that being said, it’s so important to invest a little time and put a bit of thought behind the little things that go into the day. Small personal touches can make such a big difference. Here are a few little things that I’ve been thinking about for our wedding.

cake toppers
the addition of the dog to the modern wood models is adorable, and how fabulous is that succulent topped cake?
table numbers
in love with the DIY painted jars and the uniqueness of the old books
wedding favors

favors can get tacky (quickly) but not here. i’m a sucker for food related items anywhere, anytime.
seating cards
this is a great place to tie in your theme for the evening and have fun with it.

What special touches did you put into your wedding day? I’d love to hear. Thanks for having me, Alex!
