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!

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!

Fall Inspiration

We're hooked on the fantastic inspiration boards over at Snippet and Ink. In honor of fall, we just had to share this autumn-inspired "playground" creation. We love the traditional fall touches (orange, gold, brown) with other, unexpected colors mixed in (pale blue). It gives it a distinctive feel. Take this in to your Nebraska vendors and let them work their magic!
