Before all the trees are bare, we thought we would share some of our favorite wedding shots featuring these leafy beauties. No matter the season, a gorgeous tree (or a whole forest of them!) can truly enhance the backdrop for an outdoor ceremony or reception, as well as wedding & engagement portraits... no fancy decor needed!
Hope everyone had a beautiful fall weekend!

We were thrilled when we were asked by our friends at idealist.org to help come up with creative ideas for having a socially concious wedding. Check out their blog post to see what we compiled!
If you're not familiar with idealist.org-- you should be! It's a site that connects people to organizations, jobs, and volunteer opportunities so they can take action to build a better world. Definitely worth checking out, and we're so glad we could contribute to this!
Oh, mid-summer to late fall... we are right in the thick of wedding season! Whether or not you're currently planning your own nuptials, you'll likely be attending a wedding (or two... or twelve!) over the course of the next several months. You're sick of buying the same set of stemware over and over, and we're big fans of all things green... so we thought we'd share some creative, eco-friendly wedding gifts from The Daily Green.

In honor of Earth Day and the green movement, why not incorporate trees into your wedding day photos? We think pictures of dresses in trees are particularly cool!

There are tons of gorgeous floral centerpiece options out there, but we love the idea of incorporating less conventional plant life into your tablescape. One of our favorite ideas is to use birch wood pillars as stands or vases. They're an interesting way to bring the outdoors in, and the paper white color really makes other colors pop!
We all love the convenience that the internet provides for us, and we all L-O-V-E Martha Stewart and the inspiration she provides for weddings!
