You can tell she has a very artistic approach, which I'm sure Joe is most excited about:)

All Things Preppy

I've returned from my hiatus and am excited to resume wedding planning!! After attending 1,000 weddings this summer I now have lots of inspiration to work with:)

So when I first started thinking about my vision, I was very excited about all things 'green' in more of a nature, earthy type vibe. The vision has started to shift away from this into something a little more preppy. Fortunately we will still have an underlying green theme with our low impact, LEED certified venue and our amazing organic/sustainable/local caterers (details coming next post)!

Here are some fun pictures I found last night that might help depict my revised vision a little better:

DIY Chalkboards & H2o Station

Thought I might try to make some of these chalkboard signs to lean against the walls behind my wine tasting station and/or the bar (can't hang anything). They are just wood spray painted with chalkboard paint. Hoping I'll find someone with artistic chalk writing skills...
