Help me choose-- which invitations do you like better??

At first glance, which of these invitation sets look more appealing to you?? I'm kinda torn equally between both. We are having a purple rustic/burlap/chalkboard theme that's fairly relaxed &...

C + R in Wedding Attire, on April 28, 2014 at 8:16 AM

This might be a silly question, but is there such a thing as "age appropriateness" of a tutu dress? I love all the adorable tutu dresses that I've seen on Etsy (similar to below) and initially planned...

C + R in Etiquette and Advice, on March 21, 2014 at 7:46 AM

FH and I are counting up how many corsages and boutonnieres we will need. We are buying for our bridal party, parents, grandparents, and ushers. FH's mother passed away ten years ago (there hasn't...

C + R in Style and Décor, on February 16, 2014 at 6:48 PM

Our head table will be sitting in front of a row of windows, so we will need to have some kind of backdrop to avoid having a glare in photos. I'm just curious what others are using as a backdrop, if...
