Bridal Style (Statement Necklace)

Not so sure I'm going to go this route, but I adore these brides and their lovely statement necklaces.

Statement necklaces are a fabulous way to add a little sparkle,


a little drama,
or a little color.

I am so happy that I just bought some lovely statement earrings from etsy, that will also add sparkle, drama and color!

Photographers Part I

When we go back to Michigan in a few days we will be meeting with photographers. I definitely see this as one of the most important decisions we will make. I made sure to pad this area of the budget a little, because I want the photos to be beautiful, timeless and really capture the mood and the moments of our day.
In my research I saw a HUGE price variance, the two photographers I will introduce in the next few days are in the upper-middle of prices researched. I obviously want the "traditional" family and wedding party photos, but I hope that they come out with more personality than any old stock wedding photographer. I look forward to some artistic shots, lots of personality and hopefully, little awkwardness.

A few weeks ago Style Me Pretty did a two-part post on the world's Best Wedding Photographers, and swoon, they are gorgeous! (here and here)

Have any advice for choosing a photographer?
