Vendor Love :: {S} Bride & Groom Invitations

When you’re choosing invitations, I always remind my clients that invitations are the first thing your guests will be seeing in regards to your big day. It can set the tone if you want to and it’s like you’re giving your guests a sneak peak!

These are wedding invitations by Bride and Groom.

I see burlap on tables and lace accents with this invite:

Bride & Groom also carries accessories. This would be perfect for a gamer groom-to-be or maybe your groomsmen?

Cute! Stay tuned for some of Anne Hathaways potential wedding dress sketches. I love seeing these sketches and them following up to see if these

Anne Hathaway’s Gown Sketches

I love seeing dresses from inspiration to creation, very much like an event. Some bridal designers have sketched gowns that they see Anne wearing and I must say, these are my absolute faves!

These two are Angel Rivera and the next one is by Claire Pettibone and I love the bows!

And this Ines Di Santo – gorgeous!

Which is your favorite? The rest can be seen on Bride Finds!

Planning Tips :: The Bar Tab

Wedding costs are already up so where is it that you can save some bucks? The bar tab! If you’re budget doesn’t allow an open bar, here are a coupe of our suggestions.

Have a cocktail hour with open bar.
Only host wine and beer.
Have a signature drink/s!

The latter is my favorite because you can come up with such fun drinks! Choose your favorite drinks or concoct a drink that matches your color scheme. If I had to choose a drink for my guests, it would have to be either a Sangria, a vodka gimlet, or a lemon drop. The husband would probably go for an amber ale beer or a Jagermesiter (ew) based drink.
