Weddings + Halloween =?

I think it sounds fun, and festive. I know D would have jumped all over that if I had offered it as a choice for our Big Day. You can have a LOT of fun with a Halloween themed wedding, and you can even get your guest in on the fun with Costumes and such. In a world that is Twi-Hard obsessed I think we will see more of these "theme" weddings in the near future.

Here are some fun things you can use to Customize your Halloween Weddings:

• Signature Cocktail (Spooky)

• Costumes for Guest

• DJ or Band in Costume

• Easy Color Scheme and Floral arrangements using Pumpkins and other fall foliage.

Here are some fun, fun photos from the Web of Halloween Inspired Nuptials.

another Happy Couple ties the Knot!

Lookey, Lookey, I had the pleasure of Coordinating Shelly & Kevin's fall wedding and wanted to share the photos that the VERY talented Joe Hendricks took to document this fabulous couple.

Check out the Blog post HERE

I still have a few Fall Dates left if you need a last minute Day-of Coordinator email me ASAP! Or go ahead and book your 2011 dates!

Faboosh!

These necklaces are fabulous, I need one for every month, or letter I hold dear to my heart. Brides think how cute these would be for your Bridesmaids. Albeit keep up the good work and I'll keep shopping!!!

Just a quick note, you have to register with the site to buy anything. I know odd, but anything for fashion!

Pumpkin Picking!

Wanna incorporate Pumpkins in your fall wedding? Look at these clever folks, and this little inspiration board I threw together!

Rural Venue! For SUPER cheap!

Most of you Nashville brides may have your heart set on Belmont Mansion, Two Rivers Mansion, or one of the other 100 mansions that are scattered all around our great city, but what if I told you that you can have your wedding at a Nashville style Mansion for a fraction of the price? The only thing you have to sacrifice is the zip code?

Have your attention? Good, here is Rose Mont Mansion, built circa 1842 and located in beautiful rural Gallatin, TN. Wanna know the best part? You can get married here for ONLY $600. Wipe your lip, you read that right $600, you can have a house, the grounds and the Reception Hall. Wanna have a rehearsal add $100 to the price. Don't believe me? Read it for yourself HERE

Rose Mont is not only affordable they also have tables, 10 60" tables to be exact, and 200 White folding chairs. You can set them up yourself for just a rental fee, or have them do it for a small price (worth it to me!)

Take the beautiful drive out to Rose Mont and see it for yourself. There are plenty of Hotels, and eateries in Gallatin for your guest and their needs, heck any town with a Wal-Mart is a WIN in my book!

Photographer Alert!

I had the pleasure of working with a great team this weekend. I worked with Joe Hendricks of Joe Hendricks Photography and his lovely wife Rhonda as we married off The new Mr. and Mrs. Breedlove in Nashvegas. I was impressed with Joe and Rhonda from the rehearsal all the way through the reception. Rhonda and Joe set their detailed eye on everything to ensure the perfect shot! Joe is the man behind the camera, but Rhonda is the lady with the lights, woman's eye, and Joe's right hand woman. These two are a pleasure to work with, so I recommend you check them out for your big day, family shoot, or childrens photos.

Check out their great website here! and I look forward to working with them again!
