I fell in love with Julie and Tanner’s wedding as soon as I saw the photos from Heather Parker Photography! Everything about this day was planned to perfection. Purple and silver flowed throughout the event seamlessly in the wedding attire, flowers, details and even uplighting!

They did a traditional bouquet toss and then changed it up a bit with a football toss for the guys rather than a garter toss. And then, proceeded to dance the night away!

Weekend Playlist: Neon Trees

Posted by Michelle Cangemi, WeddingWindow.com on May 11, 2012

It’s Friday… and a lovely morning for a fun playlist to get you in the mood for the weekend! Neon Trees recently came out with a new album that is quite fun so I thought I’d whip up a weekend playlist with some of their music.

Here are a few of their new songs (and a cover of Justin Bieber’s Baby). I’m totally digging the song Mad Love… a cheery little love song, don’t you think?

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

Does this playlist have you rocking out? If you’ve loving their sound, you can find more music from Neon Trees on iTunes. Enjoy!

Here’s a quick recap of what we featured on WedLoft this week…
Easy DIY beaded earrings in 5 minutes
A red and white vintage inspired photo shoot
Ashley & Patrick’s custom, cultural wedding
Perfect pairing of wedding music & decor
A fun giveaway from sui numeris bride! (Enter HERE!)
Some free customizable cards from cocodot
And some of my favorite sites for creating photo books!

Real Wedding: Mark & Susan

Posted by Wedding Window on May 11, 2012

Mark and Susan had a beautiful wedding in Michigan filled with green and black details and decor. They had a lovely outdoor ceremony and then moved inside for the reception at the Spring Lake Country Club. Summer Osborn, the wonderful talent behind Summer Jean Photography, is sharing their photos with us today!

Summer: “Mark and Susan were a wedding photographers dream to work with. The kind of couple that we gush about to our other photographer friends. They are gorgeous, sweet, fun, laid back, and I feel like I have been friends with them forever! The weather was a little iffy leading up to their wedding day but it ended up being just perfect and we were even able to head out to Grand Haven for some pictures on the beach. Thank you to the the wedding party, the families, and their friends for all being awesome!”

Fave Finds: Photo Books

Posted by Michelle Cangemi, WeddingWindow.com on May 10, 2012

I have to admit, I’m a bit photo-crazed. I definitely have snap-happy fingers, constantly clicking away photos on my camera and phone on a daily basis. With the growing quality of digital cameras and mobile devices these days… who isn’t caught up in photo-taking madness? Unfortunately, in this digital age, less and less people are actually making prints of their photos.

Guilty-as-charged! In the past couple of years, however, I’ve made it a personal goal to have physical prints made of my photos. I want to have them to look back on in the years ahead and, to be honest, I don’t see myself flipping through my iPhoto, Facebook or blog archives when I’m in the mood to look at my pics. My easy solution is photo books! Rather than having piles of prints, I’ve been making a small photo book for any major event or trip I’ve gone on. I’ve also been making photo books to recap each year and I’m so happy I’ve decided to do this! They are easy to flip through, have a professional look and are actually quite affordable!

Your engagement period and adventures in wedding planning is an exciting time. One that you are surely capturing with pictures! Now is the perfect time to get in the habit of creating photo books to document different phases of your life. You can create books of your engagement, wedding events and continue this tradition into your newly-wed life!

There are lots of resources for creating photo books and most offer the option of creating a book with templates and also allow you to create a completely customized book! Each has unique options and designs so choose whichever best fits your needs. In no particular order, here are a few of my faves…

Invites & Cards from cocodot!

Posted by Stacy McCauley, WeddingWindow.com on May 10, 2012

So, my latest obsession has nothing to do with food, makeup, or shoes…weird, I know! I am totally obsessed with a website called cocodot.com. If you’re familiar with the site, you know what I’m talking about. Cocodot offers an extensive (over 5000 designs) line of digital cards and invites that you can send online or order prints of.

You can modify pretty much every element of your card or invite, from the font style, size and color. Add or remove text boxes. Upload your own photos. And GET this…you can even upload your own music or record your voice on the card. I know, unbelievable….right?! There is literally a card for your every need…Weddings, Birthdays, Graduations, Thank Yous, Funny Quotes, Moving, Get Well, Congratulations…well, you get the picture. And they are all FREE! Printed versions of your card or invitation can also be purchased for $1.39 and up, which is really quite reasonable.

Check out just a few of the super cute cards they currently offer…
