You are going to love our next wedding.
The bride is a lovely photographer who was featured here: Courtney Wilson Photography. The groom I happen to know personally and is childhood friend of mine. So, it is quite lovely that I get to showcase this wedding. It does not hurt that Courtney and Sean’s wedding is filled with thoughtful details and personal touches.
To read more from Courtney on how they pulled off this vintage inspired Lake Tahoe wedding click here. Of course there a ton of more beautiful photos to check out.
Steal Worthy Idea:
One of our favorite details was the place cards. We searched the internet for any pictures we could find of our guests. Using the beauty of facebook, we found snapshots, from safe to totally embarrassing, but if it was on the web, it was fair game! We turned them into Polaroids and with DIY magnets favors including vintage pictures of Lake Tahoe. Guests were laughing hysterically when they saw their old prom photos and Halloween costumes from years past as their place card. We’re still hearing comments about them!

Mas and Rebecca, the polaroids converter came from here: http://rawimage.deviantart.com/art/Polaroid-GENERATOR-V1-42651542 although there are many other programs online to do this. I layered in my own picture and resized in PS. I printed them out on 4×6 paper and cut to size. Easy Peasy!
Andria, the hair flower was a H&M find and then we attached a swatch from my wedding gown. It cost all of $3 to make :)

Everything about this wedding was perfect! It was a true reflection of the bride and groom… the attention to detial was impeccable, it was artistic and beyond creative! The photos truely capture the essence and magic of the day!
Thanks for such lovely comments everyone!
I’ve got to give credit to one last detail. With all the last minute madness in the week leading up to the wedding, we almost went without ceremony programs. A friend sent me this link and in an hour, we had them printed. We couldn’t just let our guests sit there without something to look at and this was the perfect way to tell everyone the story of us….when you’re in a pinch for time, you do what you gotta do! We certainly can’t take credit for that fab idea :) http://metalmother.com/index.php/2008/11/married/
Ummm, wow, that’s amazing!
Everything about this wedding is gorgeous, especially the bride!
Those place cards are to die and this photography is so dreammmmmy… love.
I loveeee the place cards! What a fun, creative and affordable idea!
Love the place cards idea- what a beautiful wedding!
Those escort cards are totally steal worthy! What a fun, quirky, and thoughtful idea. I’m sure it sparked lots of conversation too!
