The wedding altar...

So, most people probably don't have to think much about this because they just put up a few flowers up in the church and call it good. But since I am getting married outside, I have been really concerned about what the altar will look like. After scanning the internet, I have found a bunch of great ideas but I am still not sure.

Check out what I have found and let me know if you have any ideas!

Winter Wedding Inspiration Board

Style Me Pretty has so many gorgeous inspiration boards, and with the winter holidays coming up, we especially appreciated this take on a winter wedding. The combo of deep red and white is beautiful!

Trend Alert!

Single- and two-tiered cakes are HOT right now, and we love these cakes from Real Simple. Take the images into your NWD cake artists and let them work their magic!

Hi brides, hope the wedding planning is going well! I have now nailed down the majority of the big wedding plans and I am able to move onto some of the smaller, fun and personal details. As you know, I am planning an outdoor barn wedding and I have found some pictures of cute signs to not only guide your guests but to add a personal touch as well. Although I am sure you can buy these signs pre-made, I thought it would be another fun DIY project!

Check it out for your outdoor wedding as well. Have a great week!

Color Trend Preview

Navy and yellow is a hot color trend for 2010, and we love this color palette inspiration board from The Inspired Bride. This look would be great for spring or fall, and it would be especially cute for a military wedding!
