from Hello to Hitched

Another Hitched Bride On SMP!

We love seeing our gorgeous brides and their weddings all over the web, and were thrilled to see that Hitched bride Keri's wedding was featured earlier this week on Style Me Pretty!

Keri's gown was an eco-couture design by Adele Wechsler, and since they're such a flexible company, she made a couple of tweaks to the original design of the gown to truly make it her own. Doesn't she look breathtaking?

We just love how the gown fits so perfectly into place with the rustic Charlottesville venue and all of the other soft, clean-lined details.

Be sure to check out the full post for even more eye candy!

Congratulations on your new life together, Keri and John! Your wedding looks absolutely spectacular, and we're so happy to have been a part of it.

AisleDash Features Bridesmaid Fashion Advice From Hitched!

We were so excited when our good friend, Anne Chertoff, asked us to do a guest blog post about bridesmaid dresses over on her fabulous wedding website, AisleDash!

The Hitched gals got together to come up with the most important things to consider when it comes to choosing bridesmaid dresses that both you and your ladies will love... so be sure to check it out, and let us know what you think!

There are tons of other cool features over at AisleDash (from fashion advice to reception tips and everything in between), so leave yourself a bit of time to linger!

 

Ahh, Autumn.

Now that fall is officially here, we can't wait to start sharing gorgeous, autumn-inspired details!

When it comes to fall wedding colors, there are so many options that go outside of the traditional orangey/deep red/brown palette. Try settling on one rich fall color and adding a pop of something a bit less expected for an interesting, yet elegant look. We love this inspiration board from Snippet & Ink, which features autumn gold with contrasting icy blue. 

What colors are you incorporating into your fall nuptials?

Calligraphy Giveaway!

There's nothing like handwritten calligraphy to top off a gorgeous invitation suite. The envelopes are the first thing your guests will see when your stationery comes in the mail, and an artist's touch can really set the tone for your oh-so-elegant affair.

Our favorite calligrapher of the moment is DC local Michele Hatty Fritz of Meant to Be Calligraphy. A true artist, our brides simply cannot stop raving about Michele's work, which ranges from clean & modern to traditional & classic. In addition to being ridiculously talented, Michele is prompt and efficient (important characteristics in any wedding vendor!) and will work with you to completely customize your calligraphy needs.

We're so excited to announce that Michele has offered to give one lucky reader a $100 credit towards envelope or escort card calligraphy! All you have to do is leave us a comment about why calligraphy would add the perfect final touch to your stationery, and we will pick a winner next week!

To see more of Michele's amazing work, check out her gallery here. Best of luck, lovely readers!
