Our Something Blue

When wedding traditions are spoken of there is an olden rhyme that comes to every bride’s mind.

"Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.”

Popular since Victorian times, each item in the poem is to represent a good-luck token for the bride. It is believed that if she represents all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be delightful.

Each article itself carries independent well wishes for the bride.

Something old: Is to symbolize continuity with the bride's family and the past
Something new: Is to represent optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead
Something borrowed: Traditionally borrowed from a happily married woman,
this article is to impart similar happiness to the bride
Something blue: Is to exemplify fidelity and constancy

So in our effort to embrace tradition, we have found our something blue.

Isn’t this car a beauty!?! She will be our something blue as well as our classic getaway car. We can’t think of a better way to usher out our day than with a nice spin on tradition.

We Do

Searching for the right person to marry us proved to be a bit more challenging than we originally anticipated. However, we are truly blessed and have found the best fit we could have ever hoped for in the end.

Introducing...Chaplain Morris. What a wonderful man! We are thrilled to have him guide us through our special day. Within the first five minutes of meeting him, my heart was at such ease and my mind comforted with his thoughts on marriage. I was beyond joyful when we left our first meeting, knowing that we had found “the” person to marry the two of us.

He recommended two relationship books for us to read during our engagement. Both are excellent and have proven to be tremendously useful and meaningful.

His Needs, Her Needs by Willard Harley, Jr.

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman

We highly recommend reading them if you get the chance---we hope you find them as beneficial as we did!

Pucker up

Who doesn’t love an ice cold glass of lemonade, especially on a warm August afternoon? We can’t think of anyone either!

Picture this.
You...celebrating, dancing, socializing and having a get-out-all-around fun time working up a mighty thirst. You need a tasty, non-alcoholic (we’ll save the alcohol for another post) cold beverage stat. Which lemonade would you reach for to quench your thirst?

IZZE- Sparkling Lemon



LORINA- Sparkling Lemonade



SANTA CRUZ ORGANIC- Sparkling Lemonade



EFFERVE- Lemonade

Pretty posies

Yellow, yellow and more yellow! From the bouquets to the centerpieces, these sun-filled blossoms will radiate warmth and cheer.



Traditionally, yellow roses are a symbol of friendship, happiness and new beginnings. We chose them for our wedding based on their classic beauty and bright, joyful bud.

Can’t you just smell the sunshine now?

It's all in the details

Is it ever! Over the past couple of months we have had such a fun time working on the many layers and aspects of our wedding day. I can't tell you how great it is to see our day coming to life, little by little, detail by detail. For your viewing pleasure and our excitement I have put together a little teaser of our "fresh elegance" inspiration (along with some Depot inspired train tracks). Enjoy!
