Derick Childress is a talented photographer from Raleigh, North Carolina. He wanted to propose to his girlfriend Emily in a creative way and need I say he did just that. Over the course of three nights taking 800 individual (each 10 second exposures) shots he spelled out in light the words “Emily, will you marry me?”
The video shows the process of how he accomplished it and his website describes the painstaking steps he took each day to create the image.
What a great idea Miss Frozen Yogurt from Weddingbee has. Most weddings will have a good number of kids tagging along with their parents and we all know how interested in the festivities they’ll be. Here is a perfect idea to help keep them entertained.
We knew early on that we wanted to have a kids’ table with all sorts of goodies for the kids. I also knew that I wanted to make a special activity book for the kiddos to keep them occupied. Luckily, making an activity book was a lot easier than I thought it might be.
There is a fabulous post over on 100 Layer Cake on how to make escort “cards” using soda pop bottles:
I have one more do-it-yourself project for you today – Soda Pop Escort Cards (feel free to use any drink from a signature cocktail to champagne). These are especially great for spring or summer outdoor weddings – it will help your guests cool off on their way to the dinner table!
Style Me Pretty has a gorgeous gallery from a wedding that was held in the ballroom of the FAB Montague Resort in Laguna Beach, California.
I know that you guys are desperate for some cool, not-your-standard-ballroom-wedding Ballroom Weddings. Well today, I come bearing ballroom gifts that I know you are going to LOVE. Perhaps a little more luxurious than many of you are planning but I am pretty sure you will all find inspiration, despite your budget, thanks to the ridiculously gorgeous teal and orange color palette and the super cool details.
Why do I only have 3 photos of myself and my groom alone from our wedding day? Because I failed to plan, and you know what that means. I planned every single detail of my day. My timeline was to the minute, color coded and given to all important wedding slaves. I covered it all… from when each BM walked down the aisle, alternating from two doors to the outdoor ceremony, to when the toasts should start and when to have the desserts brought out. I covered every detail… or so I thought.
Zach & Carie before the ceremony
This was 9 years ago, I was just starting to transition my graphic design business into a photography business. I spent more time meeting with photographers and pouring over websites than any other vendor. When I found THE ONE (no, not my hubby, my photog), I felt complete peace. Utter trust. Ooooo – naivete. I really thought that he would completely handle the timeline of the photos. I assumed he would organize the group shots and be timely about it. I made sure we had a full 53 minutes after the ceremony for photos. I was wrong… and in a film captured wedding with only 320 some frames SHOT, out of the 250 some frames that he proofed for us, I have 3 images of the 2 of us. T H R E E ! They are within seconds of eachother and… well… honestly, I still get upset thinking about it so that is why I am dedicating my first BridePop blog post to the question all brides my face: to see or not to see?
