Tired Of Guest Books?

Are you too cool for the traditional guest book at your reception?  Are you tired of wishing trees and signing everything from photo matts to bowling pins?  Well AFR Event Furnishings is taking it to a whole new level.  If you want something unique and very different you might want to look at this idea. You can have your guests "tag" a settee - then you can take it home and ...go in the man cave or game room.  This is a fun idea, but not sure how many homes this fits into.  So if your future home is going to be "graffiti chic" - this is your perfect sign in book - I mean, settee.
Have fun!

It's All About Presentation

While I was browsing through Martha Stewart Weddings this month, I saw these cute ideas for presenting the rings.  It is always fun to come up with a unique way to present anything, but at a wedding it's even more of a priority.

For a seaside wedding or just for the bride that loves the beach, this beautiful shell is a simple idea.  Painting the inside gold makes it glamorous, and securing the rings with a satin ribbon adds elegance.  What  a beautiful, simple and inexpensive idea!
If you feel that your love is more like a classic romance - then this book idea may be more your style.
Secret Safe Books will take your favorite romance novel or book of poems and turn it into a cute ring "safe" for your wedding.  They glue the pages together, cut out a little nook and use magnets to secure the closure.  This would make such a great keepsake!

Do You Like Favors?

I have seen lots of wedding favors over the years.  Their have been the edible favors, cute favors, smokable favors (cigars), and take home and put in a drawer somewhere favors.  Genesis and Brady  Bridges came up with a thoughtful favor at their recent wedding reception.  They decided to make it count.  They made a donation to a Youth Development Center in their guests names.  I thought this was a great way to honor their guests by spending the money that was set aside in the budget for favors on something that won't just be eaten or thrown in the trash.  I am also very sure that it was not only needed, but appreciated.
I am curious what you think about favors in general and also about how this one was handled.  Do you like the idea?  Will you do favors at your wedding?  What will they be?

Morgan & Andrew

Morgan & Andrew are absolutely adorable!  She just happens to be my niece - so I admit I am a little biased, but they are one of the cutest and most sincere young couple I know.  Kyle Coburn took these great photos in Dallas and I just had to share them with you!

Brady & Genesis - Sneaks!

Brady and Genesis are such a cute couple and their wedding on Saturday was beautiful!  I am happy to  not only consider them as clients, but now as friends.  I wish them the best for a wonderful marriage and I hope you will enjoy these sneak peek photos from Fairytale Photography.
