I'm feeling a little patriotic as Independence Day looms, so I wanted to share this awesome 4th of July wedding. Yes, there was a red, white and blue color scheme, but I'm a big fan of Kelsey and Jamie's summery ferris-wheel-and-fireworks motif. And they did their exit right too -- a tunnel of sparklers.

That's our real weddings photo editor, Rebecca, on the left, me in the middle, and Meredith on the right from last night at an event put on by the ridiculously genius people at Creative Edge Parties. They had these amazing ginger-lime margaritas and today I snagged a copy of the recipe. This makes 1 -- but could be made in a large batch for oh, say, your cocktail hour!
Ginger-Lime Margaritas from Creative Edge Parties
1. Use a high quality tequilla such as an Anejo
2. Take a lare piece of fresh Ginger and marinate for 24 hours in the Tequilla
3. Remove the ginger.
4. Slice the ginger into small sections and muddle in a rocks glass with lime.
5. Add ice and then pour the marinated tequila over. Add a splash of soda water. 6. Garnish with a lime slice.

Okay so pretty much everything about Brooke and Thor's Alabama wedding was genius -- but I'm especially into their wedding invitations. The bright colors mixed with the concert poster-style format make a seriously eye-catching combination.

Nancy and Heyward showed school pride in a subtle, fashionable way on their wedding day in Lexington, VA. From afar, Heyward's bowtie (from Vineyard Vines) fits right in with his formal look, but up close, you can tell it's covered in the couple's school's logo! Check out their whole wedding in the upcoming Fall/Winter issue of The Knot DC, Maryland & Virginia.

How cute are these bridesmaid dress, ring and flower cookies from The Flour Pot? Even better, they come wrapped with tags with the words, Will you be my bridesmaid? (or maid of honor, ring bearer or flower girl) written on them. The bakery is happy to customize the dress colors to match your palette! They're normally $10 each, but you can get them for $8 each by calling (215) 542-5951 by July 31st and mentioning The Knot Wedding Blog.

And why not? You don't have to stand in the middle of a field of sunflowers to have awesome engagement photos. A convenience store makes for a colorful backdrop with plenty of prop material too!
Speaking of getting engaged... how did he put a ring on it?

I just had to share this amazing bouquet we featured on The Knot Live earlier today. You see those purple things? They're artichokes! Besides being tasty in salads, they look amazing in bouquets, especially when there's spiky thistle, jade roses, and velvety millet mixed in. The talented Anne Kilcullen of Blade Floral & Event Designs, LLC, whipped this up. And it costs a lot less than flowers-only bouquets -- just $115!

Really cute, right? We added this one to the site about a week ago. See all of Courtney and Charles' wedding photos here.
