Although I haven’t gotten our “professional” photos yet, I do have some shots from my husband’s cousin, who is an aspiring photographer. Her pictures are photo journalistic and I love them.

Details are so important in creating a beautiful, memorable wedding. I think adding unique touches not only look great, but also make guests feel special. Here are a few relatively inexpensive and thoughtful ways to really make your wedding stand out.

1) Provide tissues for those sweet, tear-filled moments. Place a basket of adorably designed tissues on a table at the ceremony for guests to grab.

2) Pamper guests even in the bathroom. The bathroom is the last place you’d think of decorating, but how about leaving fancy, fragrant smelling soaps for them to use. Bath and Body Works has a variety of hand soaps in scents like Coconut Lime Verbena and Enchanted Orchid.

Not just on clothing anymore, paisleys have hit the wedding scene in a big way! Making their debut on cards and cakes and everything in between, I think there’s something sweet and modern about those swirly shapes. Here are some ways to make your wedding pretty, posh and paisley filled.
