Plantation Love

September 01, '09 by Maggie Lord

All of the weddings today are from different weddings, but the same location Boone Hall Plantation in Georgia. This plantation really does have a great mix of rustic elegance along with good ole’ southern charm. I have come across more great pics from this location and you can’t believe how different every wedding looks. Every one is beautiful in its own way. I think this place will definitely have to go on our WP approved wedding locations!

I am so excited to announce these wonderful little wedding favors or place cards called Teeny Tags. I think these little tags really do add the perfect touch to any wedding or gift.

Meet the perfect place card or gift card called the Teeny Tags. These tags were featured in Bride Magazine where they placed each tag around a napkin with the guest’s name on it. Each tag is made of recycled wood, measures 3″ × 1.75″ and is painted to perfection, Teeny Tags are fashioned after old-school shipping labels. Each Teeny Tag hangs on a pretty satin ribbon, has a colourful pattern on one side and blank lines on the backside, ready to be personalized with any brand of permanent marker. No matter how simple the gift, tie a Teeny Tag onto it and it becomes a little event! Choose from Patterns, Polka Dots & Words.

Color Me Green

August 27, '09 by Maggie Lord

These two weddings have many things in common but what struck me the most was the wonderful use of the color green. Most of the color is brought in through the flowers and plants but it is also the subtle green touches that I love. For example the green writing on the favor bag looks great or the green plants in the big wagon are amazing. A little touch of green goes a long way!

NannyTucket

August 24, '09 by Maggie Lord

One of my favorite parts of having this blog is getting to show off companies and other sites I really like. Today I wanted to feature NannyTucket, an online resource whose mission is to provide Nantucket families with the ability to book pre-screened, qualified babysitters online. Eliminating the endless phone calls and increasing the precious time and activities that the island can offer. My friend Heather and husband founded and run this company and I thought all of you would enjoy the simplicity and convince of this company!

This is the most amazing wedding day or party hair comb, I can say that with all the confidence in the world since it is the one I wore on my wedding day and got so many compliments I decided to carry it in the Whispering Pines Wedding Collection. This hair comb is made from parchment paper roses, satin, lace and a plastic hair comb. The item is entirely handmade for Whispering Pines and its customers by a very talented artist. I wore my hair pulled back in a bun and had the hair piece placed right at the top of the bun and then slid the veil right above the rose comb.
