Hairapy

I was finally able to visit my family in the Toronto area this week (YAY!), which meant a lot of wedding planning was scheduled, and some of it was actually accomplished!

Adventures in Programs: The Dreaded Assembly Process

Assembling these programs has turned out to be quite the time suck – good thing we’ve had two blizzards and lots of snow days this week! There are a lot of steps. They’re not hard to complete, but when you’ve got to do each step 200+ times, things get old – fast

From Inspiration to Reality: The Board

It’s time for another From Inspiration to Reality feature where a handful of our favorite vendors transform one of YOUR inspiration boards into a real life photoshoot.

Austin Wedding by Jennifer Lindberg

I really wish that I was half as cool as this couple. From the fashion to the venue, every little bit of style that they chose is just so freaking cool. It makes me a little bit jealous actually.
