Local Wedding Wednesday

When I received these submissions for the Local Wedding Wednesday post, I couldn't help but give them their very own post. Pretty sure my absolute LOVE for fall had an influence on this decision! My husband and I were married in late September and I sure wish I had amazing pictures like this to reflect the beautiful autumn day that we had.

Kate Morrow did a fantastic job on these and I must also comment on the bride's gorgeous bouquet, hair and wrap, stunning!!






Thanks Kate for sharing these with me!!

Special "Extras"

When planning your wedding it is common to try and stretch your budget as far as it will go. And when doing so sometimes you have to sacrifice some of the "extras". If you are able to squeeze a little or a lot more out of your budget, here are a few fun things to consider.

Signature Cocktails: Have a Signature Drink either served during the cocktail hour or available all night at the bar, it adds a great twist to the evening. One bride who was using pink and green for her colors had a alcoholic pink lemonade served with a lime in the glass, just one more way to incorporate your overall theme throughout the event.


Late Night Snack: You know your guests better than anyone else. Are they the kind of crowd that will dance all night? If so, bring out a late night snack. Pizza, nachos, or even milk and cookies make a great snack for your guests and will give them that little boost to make it to the last song of the night.


Cappuccino & Smoothie Bar: There is a Michigan business called Cappuccino Man, it is a gourmet coffee cart that offers espresso, cappuccino, chai tea and natural fruit smoothies. This would be a unique addition during cocktail hour or to have rolled out after dinner.


Cigar Rolling Station: Yes, really. There are business' that come to events and have professional rollers that will roll the cigars right in front of the guests. They even have personalized cigar bands that you can put your wedding logo or other graphics on.


Fireworks: Want a grand finale to your wedding day? Hire a licensed professional to light off fireworks at the end of your reception. Most companies charge for the size of fireworks and also the amount of time you want them going. Just make sure to check with your venue that this is permissible and purchase any permits you may need before the event.


Big or small, adding a little extra special touch will have your guests remembering your reception for a very long time.
