I, like many other brides, future brides, and little girls, have been a wedding fanatic since I can remember. I have issues of Martha Stewart Weddings and InStyle Weddings dating back to 1998– 10 whole years before my wedding day! I decided, on one rainy Saturday, to go through all of my magazines and start tearing out the images, articles, and advice that I really liked and felt inspired by. I wasn’t sure if I would ever use any of these ideas for my future wedding, but I was ready to get organized! I filed all of my ideas in binders with page protectors (nerd alert!) and used pretty color-coded dividers to get it all organized. 

A few years ago I found a little card in InStyle Weddings that said “dinner and dancing” in a beautiful Bickham script font and it was a pale pink and gold. I’ve loved that color combination ever since and that beautiful all lowercase font. This little card was my little piece of inspiration.

Choosing a photographer was not a hard decision for us. I have been obsessed with Kelly Moore of Kelly Moore Photography since she started in the photography business. She has a beautiful blog and I dreamed of being one of the brides/couples on her website someday. Photography was one of the most important things to us on the priority scale and we pretty much set our photography budget around Kelly’s fees. We knew exactly what we wanted and we wanted her. The only obstacle was that the wedding was in South Carolina, we live in South Carolina, and Kelly is in Ruston, Louisiana, my hometown. I shopped around South Carolina for an equally talented photographer and found some really great options, but no one knocked my socks off the way Kelly did.

I loved her packages because they include an engagement session, a bridal session, and plenty of large prints from each session, as well as a coffee table book of all of your images from those sessions. The packages also include hours and hours of wedding coverage and coffee table books of your wedding photos. She’s just amazing!

Wow! It’s so exciting to be guest blogging this week for Elizabeth Anne Designs. I starting planning my wedding on April 28, 2007 and got married on May 3, 2008 and I’ve loved reading this blog to find inspiration for our big day. The images, the ideas, and the advice were so valuable to me throughout the process!

I am going to start by introducing myself. My name is Erin and my new husband and I live in Columbia, South Carolina. We love South Carolina, but I’m a Louisiana girl at heart. I have a blog (Blue Eyed Bride) that turned into a wedding blog shortly after I started it. I have loved catching up with other brides and can’t believe the great big world of wedding blogs that I never new existed!
