WEDDING FILLED WITH FUN AND A BLAST OF ORANGE

This couple took inspiration from their beach destination wedding to create a colorful and fun reception to celebrate with family and friends at home. Small nautical touches like the starfish place settings mixed with the bright color palette really transformed the Municipal Auditorium where the festivities took place. Thank you to Missouri's Courtney Tompson Photography for taking and sharing the photos.

SPARKLING GOLD WOODLAND FAIRY BRIDAL SHOOT

Virginia's Vision of Rose Photography created this ethereal glittery woodland photo shoot to inspire brides to let their imaginations guide them when it comes to the decor and setting for their special day. Weddings don't have to be so traditional, but can be filled with some sparkly magic and not price you out of having something beautiful. Most of the items used for this shoot were DIY or purchased on clearance. I think my favorite detail is the bride's flower train. Thank you to Vision of Rose Photography for sharing their vision with us!

GOLF THEMED PAR-TEE FOR PALMER

Palmer's first birthday party was inspired by his dad's love for golf. From the color palette to the golf cart favor boxes–everything was planned to the "tee"! I have to say my favorite detail was the food names. So creative! These party photos shared by Texas photographer, Nicki Evans, will certainly inspire you. This is even a great theme to use for Father's Day!  Check the bottom for other participating vendors.
