Lose your Wedding Photography Worries

I know we say we love all things wedding. Which we do. But out of everything we might have to say that wedding photography is one of our favorites. The months leading up to your wedding day you should start to think about the photo's that are important to you and what moments need to be captured by the photographer.

While browsing The Knot's website we found a really valuable article all about wedding photography. This article is a huge help in deciding what wedding pictures are a necessity. Thank you The Knot for the beautiful pictures and wonderful ideas!

Wedding Stationery. The super cute kind.

Yes, by now you should know that we love blogging about "simple & pretty things" especially if it is DIY. We have to applaud Sarah the owner of Belletristics for appealing to all three of those categories. We are head-over heals in love with the "Adore" line that is on the Belletristics website.

We have decided that Belletristics loves wedding stationary & graphic design as much as Weddings by Socialites love planning weddings, which is a lot!!
P.S. We made the little favor box as a "test". It's even cuter in person.

We Do, Do you?

We thought picking out a Wedding Dress was the most exciting part of having a wedding but who would have thought that picking out your soon to be hubby's wedding Cuff Links would be just as fun! We are melting over these super sweet personalized Cuff Links.

For the Groom

For the Best Man & Groomsmen

Thank you so much Etsy for the great pictures! We love the personalized items that Bragging Bags has to offer.

We love to "Wine" about Wedding Ceremonies

May our love be like good wine & grow stronger as it grows older. - Old English Toast

Here is a link for more ideas on wine unity ceremonies.

There is so much beauty in tradition. The unity ceremony has to be one of our favorite traditions because of how timeless it is. Using sand, candles & flowers have always been the way to share your love and unity during your ceremony. We thought it would be fun to look up other ways to show your unity and we stumbled across a wine unity ceremony. In this ceremony the bride and the groom each have their own carafe of wine which they pour into a unity glass and then take a sip out of one at a time. If you love wine and your partner this is a sweet sophisticated twist on a very well known tradition.  

One hot wedding

I don't know about you but here at Weddings by Socialites we all love a little sparkle! This recent craze over sparklers, after your wedding ceremony, sounds like a great idea to us! Not only is it easier to clean up than rice & rose petals but it adds to the magic of the day.

(and of course makes an even more magical photograph)

You can find these unforgettable decorations at Sparklers Online.

Thank you Shannon Ho Photography for this fiery photo!
