Inspiration Closet: Vintage Canning Jars
We are loving the use of vintage blue ball jars at Claudia & Mark’s Nashville nuptials captured by Dove Wedding Photography. Sure, the use of vintage containers is nothing new, but we’re constantly inspired by the way in which people use them. In this particular case, they are hanging at the end of each row of chairs, yellow and white arrangements spilling over their rims as they run the length of the aisle. There are so many ways to use these containers, and we find this both extremely creative and aesthetically pleasing.

Inspiration Closet: Kiss the Groom
We stumbled across the work of photographer Elizabeth Messina on her blog, Kiss the Groom, and we fell head over heels in love. Her work is soft, sweet, and direct. She captures the energy of her subject and bottles it; the joy and emotion is then truly contagious. Watch for more of her work on www.Elegala.com. We got the bug.

Inspiration Closet: Signature Refreshments
Signature cocktails rank high with some of our favorite wedding décor details. If you can create a delicious cocktail and match it to your theme, you’re golden. With one in the hand of every guest, you’ve got your color scheme mingling around the reception – and it’s downright classy.
Pink Mojito
1 fl. oz. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. caster sugar
Mint leaves
2 fl. oz. white rum
Dash of cranberry juice
Splash sparkling water
Tip: Place your mint leaves, sugar, and lime juice in the glass first and crush; the lime juice and sugar help to break down the mint and release the flavor. Then add rum, cranberry juice, and sparkling water; stir and pour over ice.
More fresh ideas for your wedding’s signature cocktail are coming soon.

Inspiration Closet: A Pretty Picture
This is obviously more than a pretty picture and more than a pretty bride. This is true love and photographic excellence. I completely admire how relaxed this bride is, and it isn’t even staged, promise. I am in the process of crafting her Real Wedding story, which will feature this couple’s gorgeous celebration at the Branford House in Groton, Connecticut.
