My mind is all over the place thinking of DIY projects!  I know, I'm super excited!  On my wedding day we were so busy finally getting things together to bring all the DIY goodies to their special places.  Thank goodness my family pitched in to help decorate before. I would recommend making a list of the things you want to accomplish.  Seriously!  The reason why is

After the wedding you have the pleasure of going through all your wedding gifts and writing a thousand thank you cards.  The best part of that whole thing is opening the envelopes filled with money.  Could be in cash or check form, either way how happy are you? I was so happy, especially since all we asked for was money.  We had an account on www.honeyfund.com, which was an idea I

Hello everyone!  I am so excited!  Last weekend I had the honor of traveling to North Carolina for a beautiful outdoor wedding.  Not only was I a guest, but I was also the photographer.   This was truly a family affair.  Both sides of the family helped with the details so that the day went smoothly. From the PEZ cake topper, to the photo booth, and the receptions root

I don't know why, but apparently I'm obsessed with taking and seeing pictures of wedding rings.  With all the things that go into having a wedding you would think it would be something else.  Nope, for me it's the rings.  Here are some pictures I took. Perhaps, it's my love of jewelry.  Whenever I look at my own wedding band I think of my wedding

This gorgeous fall wedding was filled with love, family, and creativity.  The ceremony and reception were both done outside of Waynesboro, VA in Sherando State Park that was complete with an amphitheater, beach area, and a reception location with a fireplace.  I couldn't resist showing these pictures. Venue: Sherando Lake Park Flowers/ Food/ Decorations:

This weekend I was honored that my little company, Simply Fine Photography was able to take photographs of a lovely couple's wedding at Sherando Lake in Waynesboro, VA.  The park has a gorgeous lake, with a bath house, small beach, trails, creeks, charming bridges, apatheater, and shelters with stone fireplaces.  For a fall wedding you couldn't ask for a more beautiful site.

In case anyone was wondering... I purchased my Kleinfield's dress at Church Street Bridal in Lynchburg, VA.  Had I purchased it at Kleinfield's it would have been well over $1200 ( I think... can't rememeber exactly, but it was a lot). Here is a picture of my beautiful dress. Another great thing that I absolutely love is that Church Street Bridal is a wonderful program that helps

White fluffy snowflakes, ice covered trees, a warm fur wrap embracing the bride, and hot cocoa generate such a beautiful image for an already beautiful wedding, filled with family and friends that love you.   Inspiration board from: siennawedding.blogspot.com While we were determining the best day to have our wedding, we found it was a bit more difficult that we had first expected,

Fall is a beautiful time of year to have a wedding. Perhaps I'm a little bit bias since we had our wedding just a week and a half ago. However, the color of the trees and all of the natural beauty surrounding me inspires me to mention the natural and free decor already present. Just a quick little reminder that the landscape can play a major roll in your overall feel on your special day!

Hello again ladies!!!  I have found some outstanding ideas to help you save BIG on your wedding flowers, and table decorations for the reception, and we all know the reception is the most expensive part of the wedding, so a few bucks here and there will hopefully help reduce your cost. One of the best places to get your flowers at is at the grocery store.  I'm not kidding,

While doing my regular surfing of the web this evening, I came across a few delicious projects that would be adorable at any wedding reception, or perhaps a bridal shower.  After all, I'm sure this will be one of the largest, if not the grandest party you'll ever throw. One of my favorite accessories for an outdoor wedding is the shepard's hooks with mason jars filled with wild flowers, or

While looking for projects to make your wedding glamorous can be ubber expensive.  I have a few ideas that might be worth looking into.  During my own wedding planning, and learning from my sister's wedding I discovered a fabulous amount of resources online that might help make your day even more beautiful, while saving you a few bucks.

Flowers are the traditional accompaniment to any bride or bridesmaid walking down the anticipated aisle to wedded bliss, however brides are choosing to ditch the flowers for a more contemporary look by carrying a handbag, or no additional accessory at all. Here are a few ideas that I found.  Hope it serves as some inspiration if you looking for something a little less traditional.

Alita Graham, grown designer extraordinaire is exclusive to Kleinfeld in New York. You may be familiar with the store from TLC's hit show, Say Yes to the Dress. I personally love Alita Graham, but while we all have different styles in mind for our perfect dress for our perfect wedding day. I would strongly suggest taking a peak at what she has to offer. After all you never know, you might just

How much do you enjoy eye candy?  Well, I'm no exception, because I like looking at pretty things, window shopping, and getting inspiration where ever I find it.  So today, I thought would be the perfect day to satisfy my need for wedding eye candy.  Hold on ladies, and perhaps a few gentlemen... because here it comes... enjoy!

The historic charm of the Old City Cemetery in Lynchburg, VA , brings you to a time none of us would ever remember, and serves as a wonderful backdrop for a wedding under the trees.  In the case of Katie and Matt that would be an old pecan tree complete with a rope swing for the young and old.  While we've been experiencing rainy days filled with grey skies and gloomy

I can't believe how little time I've had to do the little things in life that I love for myself lately.  It's a major event to even go to the grocery store.  So as a result, my blog has had little attention. Although, I've been M.I.A. I haven't gone long without thinking about WLB. Yesterday, i went by Oakwood Country Club, which you may remember from a previous post. It was all dolled

As promised... here are our pictures from Winridge Manor in Madison Heights, VA.  It was bitterly cold with snow on the ground when we went to view the property.  However, the owners assured us that the gardens surrounding the house and lily pond are gorgeous in the spring. To see additional pictures showcasing the warmer months, please check out their website

What can I say about Timberlake Tavern, but I love it!  It's the perfect size for a small wedding, or up to 170 people.  It's quaint, rustic, and charming all rolled up into one. With Timberlake Tavern you won't get the stuffy reception from the wedding planner, and staff. Instead you'll be welcomed into this charming venue with a warm homey feeling.  The manager, Lisa is

I love that Glencliff Manor is all-inclusive, and that Teresa is so great.  However, while we haven't pushed it out of the running, we haven't decided on a venue as of yet. Then I found this place.  It's called Winridge Manor in Madison Heights, VA, and guess what?  Yep, it's all-inclusive too.  So, before making a decision, we're going to go and check it out, and see how

If you've never been to Oakwood Country Club, then you're in for a treat!  It's beautiful! Oakwood Country Club Front Entrance Oakwood Country Club dates back to 1912, and was built by architect, J.M. Lewis.  The club is located in the center of Lynchburg on Rivermont Avenue, and is easy to access. Once you walk inside you're greeted by a large foyer, with a baby grand piano.&
