Bride Blogger Update: Paper

I love, love, loveeee paper! So, therefore, I LOVE today’s post by Bride Blogger Milagros – and hope that you enjoy it just as much!

Paper.

I am now just under two months from our wedding date!

And with time flying by, in what is feeling like the fastest year ever, now seems like the perfect time to talk about paper.

On July 6th, 2014 my husband and I will exchange some form of paper for our one-year anniversary, but for right now we are focused on invitations, programs, thank you notes and all the other fun and whimsical things associated with a wedding.

I had a lot of fun picking out our Save the Dates.  My good friend and bridal planner tracked down the company Alexander & Company to come up with our custom vintage inspired invites.  I had so much fun looking through all of their poster options – and even imagining the custom posters for kids as a great baby shower gift! But before I jump too far ahead with babies and such, back to the wedding.

There are so many options out there when it comes to great invitations, we ultimately decided to keep it simple and go for a classic style (which we found at Hitched – I swear, that place is amazing!).  And while I never thought I would be a DIY bride, Paper Source has been a great resource to personalize our wedding paper with sweet little touches.

Really, you could get lost in all of the paper options out there, but the best advice I would have for other brides, is to stay true to you and not to the trends – and of course, have fun!
