Photo Ideas

I've been asked to do pictures for a bride and her bridesmaids/closest friends.

I just wanted to compile some cool ideas I've come across.

And this photo is just too cute to let myself forget about!

Autumn!

At the stars in the night, I wonder

At Your lightning in the sky, I shudder

Your glory is a blanket that covers

Every living thing

I’m in awe at the majesty of who You are

Your love is a seal burnt inside my heart

All of the day I want to be where You are

Holy Father

And it feels like there’s not enough praise inside of me

With all these words, all my heart can sing is holy

You are holy

Jesus Christ

You bled Your love, laid down Yourself

And gave me life

In naked shame You hung and You were lifted high

Here I lay in awe and wonder

I am afraid

For no one’s ever sacrificed and loved me this way

So on my face I fall under Your heavy grace

Here I lay in awe and wonder

And I wonder

I’m in awe at the majesty of who You are

Your love is a seal burnt inside my heart

All of the day I want to be where You are

Holy Father

And it feels like there’s not enough praise inside of me

With all these words, all my heart can sing is holy

You are holy

Pop-In Crafts

Tomorrow night is Pop-In Night at Judson.  This is a SUPER fun tradition of the upperclassmen trick-or-treating in the freshmen dorm.  Families dress up together, and every Junior-Soph makes a sign for every single stinkin' freshman.  That's 75 total.  I actually enjoy making signs though, so I didn't mind a'tall.  Here are a few of my favorites. :)

Our family (the Duck Family), consisting of 7 members, will be dressing up as the characters of Clue!  (I'll be sure to post pictures of costumes!)  Here are the name signs I made for each character!

Weddings.

Here I go again. 

Every now and then, I go through this phase where I do nothing but plan my wedding.  And this "phase" has lasted a lot longer this time than ever before.  I think I have wedding fever.

Picture it with me, if you will:

Outdoor ceremony in late September under a giant tree with unconventional seating...

... the wedding party is in vintage mis-match blues and greys...

... with wild/random flowers.

The bride (that's me) walks down the aisle wearing a vintage-inspired dress...

... and the groom is overwhelmed by her beauty.

[That picture is just too precious.]

Her shoes rock.

Sorry, but I just really enjoy this stuff.

Some ideas for the ceremony...

Mason jars and old books are essential to decorations.

Also for reception:

And um, how awesome are these Save-The-Dates?

I know it doesn't look it, but I'm totally not ready to get married any time soon.  I just enjoy decorating/designing stuff.  Maybe some of my friends should get married so I can get this wedding fever out of my system!

* DISCLAIMER:  I'm not obsessive over this at all.  Pinterest makes it too incredibly easy to come by these things. I "searched" for very little. Honest.
