{Tuesday Tip} Special Scent
Found this helpful tip on Pinterest and let me say it is a fabulous idea. You can even buy the hubby-to-be a new scent and then you both can have the same “new special scents” to remember the big day.

{Friday Find} Adorable and Personal Thank You
This has got to be the most adorable and great idea for a Thank you.
Can’t you just see this little guy walking into the reception holding this sign. He can walk around the entire room and then set the sign out so everyone can see.
We found this adorable idea on Style Me Pretty.

{Real Wedding Story} A Bride’s Story Leah & Jonathan, from Imagery Concepts
We are so excited to share an amazing story from Jonathan & Leah from our friends over at
Jonathan & Leah,
They could have been high school sweet-hearts, going to the same school and all, but Jon & Leah didn’t actually discover each other on Myspace until right after Jon graduated (they were one year apart). Leah just wanted to be friends because she had just gotten out of a relationship. She told Jon that they could meet up with a group of people at the beach and see where their friendship would take them. Of course on the day they were going to the beach, all of their friends flaked and it was just the two of them! A month went by of hanging out, then Jon asked Leah to be his girlfriend. Of course she said yes, otherwise we wouldn’t be sharing their story!
If Leah could describe her dream man, Jon would be it to the “T” — looks and everything. The one thing that made her fall head-over-heels for him is when he would notice all of the little things that she would do for him. Jon was attracted to everything about Leah. He noticed that even with his epilepsy, she was still going to stick by his side. He loves how caring she is and the huge amount of patience that she has been blessed with.
The proposal happened on their two-year dating anniversary in Vegas. Leah knew something was going to happen, she just didn’t know when. As they were walking down the Vegas strip, they stopped to watch the water show in front of the Bellagio. At the end of the show, Leah started to walk away, but Jon grabbed her arm and asked her to wait. Leah was getting ready to walk across the street, but when she turned to look at Jon, he was down on one knee with a ring in his hand. The first thing that came out of Leah’s mouth was, “Did you ask my parents first?” He replied yes, so she said yes!
From the proposal to the wedding, they waited three years. They took the time to save up for their dream wedding. After seeing multiple wedding venues, they chose Menifee Lakes Country Clubbecause they offered almost all of the same elements of a church wedding. They absolutely loved having a courtyard atmosphere and the large double doors that would open for Leah to walk down the aisle to her groom.
The one thing that was extremely special to them about their wedding day was that Granny Smith was able to see her grandson get married.
Leah’s comments about her vendors:
“Our vendors were amazing! Love our photographers! Our DJ from Pro Weddings, was amazing too. We had a minor problem with our DJ but he was more than happy to re-adjust the timeline of the evening to accommodate us. I love my bouquets from Details in Bloom. The staff at Menifee Lakes was so helpful and made my day go smoothly.”
Leah’s advice to future brides:
“Always breathe, even when you walk down the aisle to your hubby. Take time to take everything in on your beautiful day. Remember, it is all about you and your hubby!!! Most importantly, enjoy every second!!”

{Tuesday Tip} Discounted Wedding Supplies
Buy discounted wedding supplies during
“back to school” season
Back-to-school deals are here! If you need crayons, colored pencils, markers, glue sticks, etc., for any and all wedding items, now is the time to score. I just scored four packages of ultra-fine Sharpies for a buck each — that’s eight markers for $4. I need them for people to sign the guest book, and they’re normally almost $3 a package.
It wouldn’t have even occured to me to buy my Sharpies now rather than a week before the wedding, so I thought I’d share the epiphany with all y’all!
We love this tip from Off beat bride. Follow the link below for more tips on back to school discounts.

{Tuesday Tip} Don’t Lose Your Top
Are you going somewhere warm for your honeymoon? Make sure to bring a bikini and a one-piece for water sports and activities. You will thank us when you don’t have to worry about how you keep your adorable little bikini in place for all those fun water activities.
Here is a great list for packing for water sports we found from Bijou:
Honeymoon Packing List: Water Sports
If you’re going anywhere beachy for your honeymoon, there’s a good chance you’ll do some type of water sport. Snorkeling, surfing, sailing, scuba, whatever, you’re going to need some essentials.
- First up, is an adorable swim suit. This isn’t a wetsuit by any means, but I’m really liking the long sleeves.
- Water shoes are one of the ugliest articles of clothing ever, but they’ll protect your feet from sharp coral and pinching crabs.
- After you’re done enjoying the water, I’d suggest a full coverage cover-up to keep you warm when the sun goes down.
- Sunscreen! Nobody likes sunburns or skin cancer.
- A floating, waterproof bag is a great idea if you’re going on a boat.
- Underwater pictures are so fun, and at a few bucks pop for a waterproof disposable camera you can’t go wrong.
- Don’t forget a towel.

{Tuesday Tip} Dad’s
Do you have two dad’s you want to include?
If you aren’t sure if you want to have them both walk you down the aisle you can have two dances. Have a dance with your dad and then save a dance later in the evening for your step dad. A good time to have it would be just after the cake cutting if you feel you should space the dances out not to hurt either ones feelings. It can be a great surprise to show how special both your dads are to you.

{Friday Find} Rose Alternatives For Your Wedding
LUXE FOR LESS: BETTER THAN ROSES
© Morris Book Publishing, LLC
We saw this and could not help but share this great flower tip from Colin Cowie Weddings.
Five flowers by any other name that smell (and look) just as sweet as roses.
As a long-time symbol of love and beauty, roses are too often considered the go-to flowers to decorate your wedding. But since these tried-and-true can cost anywhere from $2 a stem to upwards of $4, it may be time to consider the alternative blooms that look just as gorgeous when fashioned in an arrangement.
