{Wednesday Wedding Inspiration} "Something Blue" {Something Blue Bridal Boutique, Holly MI}

Of course, with my my business being named 'Something Blue'... I have to have a strong 'something blue' for our wedding! We thought about making our custom candle favors {from The Holly Candle Shoppe - next door to the Bridal Boutique}... blue, but they just look so darn cute in light pink! And then, as I was searching around the Internet for endless wedding inspiration, I came across some very fashionable wedding photography with classic cars... and then it hit me! I hail from 'car people'...AND my father has a teal Plymouth Newport, one he saved from the junk yard back in the day. It's not a show stopper... but it's got character beyond belief...and it's BLUE! I think it will be the perfect way to incorporate some great shots {that even my father will appreciate!} and our something blue!

I continued to search 'bride & groom wedding photography with car' to give us some inspiration come wedding day! Here's what I found:

Heavenly Shower. {Something Blue Bridal Boutique, Holly MI}

I owe my friend Samantha credit for the location; Heavenly Scent Herb Farm in Fenton, Michigan! She had her bridal shower there {under the outdoor gazebo near a flowing waterfall} and had originally turned me on to the always gorgeous, always calming serenity the location brings. Even though I had unfortunately missed her shower, the pictures were gorgeous and I found myself frequenting the farm often! It was on another occasion with Sam, after a long lunch of wine and flat bread sandwiches at The French Laundry, that we visited Heavenly Scent and snuck down to the basement - it was just then I began to envision my shower there! Exposed tree beams, stained glass, big fireplace hearth, and cozy to no end...
And that's pretty much where I left off...{a location with natural beauty}...and my friend Kel Leigh picked up! She was so gracious to let me borrow her many vases and floral design skills to help complete the look! And not only is she great at helping put on an event...she captured these gorgeous pictures as well! www.coaledesigns.com
