This is me probably texting with a bride... even if she’s not mine. Yup, sometimes I’m not the best fit for a couple and I will straight up tell them. But even then, I try to help them recognize what their priorities are and who would be a good fit. Because this is a big deal and you deserve to tell and remember your story in a way that fits your personality and needs. ✌🏼pc: @maryngravesproductions ⠀

My best wedding attire advice is to put on love.... ⠀
⠀
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.⠀
And over all these put on love, that is, the bond of perfection. Col 3:12-14 ⠀

Dear Brides that got married outside (or tried to), what tips do you have for couples planning nuptials out of doors? (Seating, flexibly, rain plans, heat consideration, time of day, sun position, etc.?) ⠀

Headed to snowshoe this weekend for a wedding and so excited! I'll have to get up at 5:30am, but seeing Seneca Rocks in the early morning light is going to be so good for the soul. Snowshoe weddings equal 8 hours of car time, so I only book one a year, but it's such a nice drive. Maybe I'll post some pictures to IG stories ;) ⁠⠀

Pro Tip below 👇, but first, Megan and Neil's album is off to the printers! This one's going to be a beauty- we filled it with the max number of spreads and it was still hard to narrow it down to our favorite pictures! Love it when we have that problem. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Pro Tip: If you're engaged and looking or a registry option that will serve your marriage more than a comforter or toaster, let your guest help you pay for your wedding album. CWP even makes registry cards to slip into your bridal shower invitations. ⁠⠀

You guys, I’m still on this diet (tryin’ to make it a lifestyle change) and your delicious wedding cakes are calling my name! I get an average of 12,000 steps in on a wedding day- that should even things out, right? #sweatingforthewedding⠀

I don't know about you, but I still get excited every time I get a hand addressed note in my mailbox. I remember buying fancy ink and trying to channel Lindsey Letters way back when I addressed all of our invitation suites. ⠀
⠀
Last week was my birthday and my sweet grandma still sends me an old fashion birthday card. It’s those little things that make birthdays fun! ⠀
⠀
PS- Nowadays I recommend fellow West Virginian, Marisa Jackson @marisamade for all things hand-lettered or for custom watercolor designs 🖌️. (Check out IG stories for the map I commissioned for my parents. 💕 note that this invitation isn’t her work, but stay tuned for some of her handiwork on this feed!)⠀

I don't really follow designers, but I love pretty much everything @Pronovias puts out. This one is no exception, especially because Megan's dress was purchased from Church Street Bridal in Lynchburg, VA. The store sells designer gowns with all sales benefiting victims of domestic violence. #ywca ⠀
