Here's a fun favor idea for a homespun look -- give out a variety of coffee mug favors like Amy and Phil did. (They'll be featured in the Kansas/Missouri magazine this summer!) Amy went around to garage sales and estate sales to pull together the look.

Love love love the idea of giving out personalized crossword puzzles at the wedding. Have them on hand at the ceremony for those guests that arrive early. Or put one at each chair (or table for a group activity) for everyone to doodle on throughout the

Holy moly, look what I stumbled upon today! The groomsmen decked out the getaway car during the reception. Kudos for the boys getting involved. Something tells me there will be a war to out-do this at each wedding moving forward between all of the groomsmen....

I usually like a wedding with a color combo, or at least a color palette (makes choosing all those details a lot easier!). But this reception -- with all those colorful paper lanterns and flower arrangements -- really caught my eye. It just screams "celebration!"

I think I drooled a little bit when I saw these two dresses waltz down the aisle at the Christos show. The fanned pleating and dropped waist dress on the left is more modern while the allover flowers and illusion straps on the right are just so darn romantic.

I love, can't get enough of couples that put total faith in their photographer to produce a killer a day-after shoot. Naoko and Taejo traveled to Hawaii for their nuptials and brought along their super-rad photographer Stephanie Williams from California.
