Today I wanted to show off one of my favorite weddings from this past year. This is a wedding that was shot by Orchard Cove Photography and took place at the Round Barn Farm in VT. I love the use of the color yellow at this wedding and the wonderful line that this wedding walks so well of rustic charm and true elegance. 

Hope you have a wonderful New Years Eve! See you back here tomorrow for the start of a great 2011!

 If you were among the lucky people in the northeast who were hit with the snow storm last weekend I thought I would offer you some snowy inspiration with these great wedding pics! I love this fun wedding which seemed to make the snow their main wedding detail for the day.

 Today I wanted to show off a perfect holiday centerpiece that would work for a large wedding, engagement party or just for your holiday table. Follow the step by step directions and you can't lose.

Here is a picture of what your masterpiece will look like when you are finished!

What You Need

• Block of floral foam
• Planter or vase
• Sprigs of greenery such as pine and incense cedar
• Floral picks
• Cinnamon oil
• Apples 
  

1. Soak a block of floral foam in tepid water.

2. Position the foam in a planter or vase and cut the foam so it's about an inch above the rim.

3. Working in a clockwise fashion, tuck in sprigs of greenery, such as bits of pine.

4. Add another round of greenery. This time, you may wish to use something with a little contrast, such as incense cedar with tiny golden berries.

 

5. Insert floral picks into apples.

6. To keep the apples looking good through the holidays, dip the picks in cinnamon oil. It will act as an antiseptic to seal the punctures so the apples last longer -- and it adds a festive scent.

 I found this picture over at The Party Dress and I wanted to share it with all of you since I think it would look amazing as a wedding table setting but I know it would also work if you are hosting any sort of event this holiday season! I love the beauty of this table without it being over the top or too traditional looking... it says holiday in a very special way.

 With the holidays here so are holiday weddings! I thought this was a fun picture that says holiday but without using the classic green and red colors. I love how it is elegant but keeps the sparkle of holiday time alive.

 I found this wedding over the weekend over at my favorite photographer's site, Orchard Cove and wanted to share. I love how it kind of has vintage feel with a modern twist at the same time. The fall season really added to the beauty of this wedding and the J.Crew dress on the bride is great looking!

Today's real wedding is from West Virginia and has a style all its own.  The Wedding took place at The Confluence Resort and was featured over at my friend's wedding resource mywvwedding.com. I love how this wedding really seems to reflect the couple and their own true style shines through.

 I found two great pictures that I thought were so great looking I wanted to share them with you. I found them on the site Music City Events which is out of Nashville and I just thought they had some inspiration quality to them.

I love this picture of the bride in the snow... I mean who would not want to look like this?

Here is another picture that I think could serve as some inspiration. Have your guest write some notes of advice or just something cute and hang them on fun branches.
