For this edition of Wedding Wednesday I am dedicating it to balloons. Now don’t get me wrong I have never been the biggest fan of using balloons as décor, or a main aspect of a wedding. However, with the recent evolution of balloons and their massiveness and perfectly round shape they can have a fun place in a wedding. I absolutely love the look they can bring to pictures. And if used in the décor, they can also enhance the look without looking cheap and cheesy. So if you are thinking about using balloons there are a few key points to remember.

1. Shape. Perfectly round balloons are your safest bet.
2. Color. Please don’t choose random colors. There needs to be a point. a story.
3. Use and placement. Love balloons for picture purposes. Love balloons for a meaningful purpose. Love balloons that are meant to enhance the overall look.

Now on to the good stuff....

A fun yellow balloon engagement shoot!

An elegant approach to balloons. This was also a sentimental approach. Her grandmother was very close to her and passed away. The couple released the balloons before ceremony in honor of her grandmother. A beautiful way to remember someone.

A fun way to incorporate your guests! This was also the perfect way to use a shapped balloon. All the heart balloons floating up is quite the sight!

Another fun balloon picture!

Thanks to Once Wed, Style Me Pretty, and Brooklyn Bride for the great pictures!

Hope everyone has a simply wonderful Wednesday!

Hump Day

Oh hello hump day....

Oregon is back to its normal rainy self and its almost like the sun never existed yesterday. Sigh...maybe one of these days we will get a week of sunshine! hah! wishful thinking i know. Anywho...Its wedding time. And there were some super cute things floating around this week. So enjoy the beauty.

Something different. A groom in a cardigan. A look that I have never seen. But it looks great on this groom and fits the personality of this couple perfectly i think. A cardigan has never looked so classy :) Check out more of the groomy at Once Wed.

Time to sparkle in a beautiful dress from over on Bijou Bride. Not my top pic for walking down the isle but great second dress for a reception.

What I want. Love this practical but beautiful beverage containers. Nice and big with pretty stands.. I want! I want! I want! The rest of this wedding was quite lovely as well over on Elizabeth Designs.


Color Love. Loving the emerald green. Such a royal strong color. I love that it makes a statement.



What we dream for. To be so incredibly happy on the day of our wedding. To feel exactly as she feels. So full of love and emotional. beautiful.

Hoping you have a simply wonderful Wednesday.
