How to Choose the Perfect Fall Wedding Flowers | Aleen Floral Design Feature

I'm so excited to introduce my dear friend Karen of Aleen Floral Design today. I reached out to her a short time ago, asking for advice on what flowers brides in Hampton Roads should choose for their fall wedding. She provided not only a highly informative blog post, but gorgeous flowers that I got to photograph and include. Read on to discover the perfect fall wedding flowers, and head over to Aleen Floral Design to see more gorgeousness!

Autumn conjures up images of colorful trees, delicious apples, cozy sweaters, and bonfires, but what does Autumn have to offer in the way of wedding decor?  While the typical fall hues of orange, red, and golden yellow may come to mind, there are a variety of ways to incorporate an autumn bent into any color scheme.  Using in season blooms of texture is key.  

Take Dahlias for example, the queen of Autumn flowers.  With their glorious shades of champaign, deep burgundy, hot pink, dark purple, vibrant orange, and pure white they play well in many color combinations.  Their full-bodied head of layered petals add dimension and depth to bouquets, centerpieces, and can also make a lovely focal flower for you hair...

Maria Grace Photography Bridal Guide

Through planning my own wedding five years ago and talking with so many brides-to-be who are in the midst of planning theirs, I know the whole process can be extremely overwhelming. There are so many details to think of, from when to send save-the-dates to how you can plan for the actual flow of the wedding day. It always helps to have a wedding planner and/or a day-of coordinator, but I wanted to give an additional resource to my brides to help them think about their wedding day and the time in-between.

I had a goal earlier this year to create a bridal guide, and for awhile I was stuck - there are some beautiful templates that can be fully customized and some amazing examples of what you can do with it. The examples were so great that I began to spin my wheels, trying to decide exactly what to put in there. Finally I set myself a deadline and got it done!

So without further ado, here's a sneak peek at the 2016 Maria Grace Photography Bridal Guide. There are pages on how to plan for your engagement session, what a first look is (and why I always encourage one), and an ideal timeline for your wedding day. In addition, I've included some amazing resources to help plan your marriage as well as your wedding day - because ultimately, that's the most important thing anyways! 

Of course, no bridal guide can have every single detail or cover every question, but I worked my hardest to answer the most common questions and provide the most helpful tips and tricks I could think of. I can't wait to send these out in the upcoming months to all my new 2016 brides. Happy wedding planning!

What TuesdaysTogether Means | Business

A few months ago, back in the summer, I saw a movement growing that started over on Natalie Franke's blog. It's a movement that's been stirring in the hearts of so many creatives, but one that lacked a uniting voice until that time. It's not a new idea - that together two are stronger than one - but it's an idea that needed room to grow and flourish.

Enter The Rising Tide Society. When it first began, I didn't know fully what it was but I did know that I wanted to get on board! I applied to be a leader, not knowing what all that entailed, and was accepted within a few days. That was before the huge onslaught of applications that happened - I was thankful to be on the front end!

Books are my love language, especially fun ones that carry me away with a good story 📖 Lately, they have also been an important place of learning for me. Some recent favorites: 📚 For Fun: #WheretheCrawdadsSing (@authordeliaowens) 📚 For Business: #
In a turn of events that is surprising to exactly no one (myself included, by this point), we have a new house guest this summer! 🏠 At the last minute, a 15-year-old exchange student needed a place to stay, and it just so happened that we have an ex
This is how I've felt during quarantine. Whether it's waking up, or running, or reading, or working when work seemed to slow down for awhile, my mantra was: just. keep. moving. I guess I was in good company when that idea kept me going 😉 . . . #quot
