I love the vintage umbrellas, and the incorporation of pearls into the brides bouquet. The tables at the reception were also gorgeous, I loved the slate colored skirts with the peach napkins. The colors they used created such a romantic feel, and they are similar to the ones I am thinking about using for my own wedding.Aisling Byrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00998292977362754424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806967151204222429.post-27487558386682374372009-04-28T11:20:00.000-07:002009-04-28T11:38:58.689-07:00Thoughtful DetailI came across this thoughtful idea on <a href="http://victoriawithroses.blogspot.com/"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Victoria with Roses</span></a>: Show your guests how much their presence means to you by writing each guest a short letter. Hand write each letter on pretty scrapbook paper, roll them up like scrolls, and finish them off with a small ribbon. Then place each personalized letter at the guests seat. This is such a lovely way to show your guests some good ol' southern hospitality! And even better, it's a great DIY project that won't break your bank!Aisling Byrdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00998292977362754424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806967151204222429.post-58103855553142468552009-04-24T13:08:00.001-07:002009-04-28T11:37:26.784-07:00May 22, 2010<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTeyL9DKV09RkUPykCRxWsa_nCb-sa7HXv4xrjojT6Ys-rUIWbdPIrCTWmzJK9yLXrIV1qLVOtcuY5PKV4xOLIw5CHKZW_vIU974zDGJI6ds77Fadh0MsCRC1EMJxfaqni1pHyc0V97Lg/s1600-h/frogtownvines.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328352863839749554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTeyL9DKV09RkUPykCRxWsa_nCb-sa7HXv4xrjojT6Ys-rUIWbdPIrCTWmzJK9yLXrIV1qLVOtcuY5PKV4xOLIw5CHKZW_vIU974zDGJI6ds77Fadh0MsCRC1EMJxfaqni1pHyc0V97Lg/s320/frogtownvines.jpg" border="0" /></a>We are getting married on <span style="color:#cc33cc;">May 22, 2010</span> at Frogtown Winery in Dahlonega, GA.
