In Love with WristieLove

Beach Wedding, Green Garden Gathering, or Rustic Chic, Unique and Artisitic??? If you would classify your wedding style as any one of these, you may want to explore WristieLove Weddings. The designer describes her brand as  “eco accessories for the free spirited,” but I simply call it beautiful!

These delicate and thoughtful designs are made from all natural materials by hand and with L.O.V.E.

Although WristieLove makes several products, my favorite are her beautiful flowers made from an amazingly light weight, delicate wood. These can be arranged for wrist corsages, pined, in a hair band, or used as garland.

These finishing touches will complete the chic in your affair!

Hair Lily, Knit Gloves, and Antique Hydrangea Bouquet

Need a Getaway???

Blackberry Farms in Tennessee is my personal heaven… I dream of this place!  I want to live there, breath the air, smell the grass, feel the breeze, taste their internationally acclaimed cuisine, sleep in the beds, wake up early to see the morning most of the grass and steam rising from the lake hear the birds chirping, run through their trails, pick flowers in their fields, paddle a canoe in one of their streams, curl up by a fire….and relax. Like i said, I dream of this place. I have never had the opprotunity to go to Blackberry Farms, but I will some day. I feel like I know it without ever have stepping foot in the state. When I arrive there, I know I will be happy. I will be home. I will at peace.

For anyone needing a getaway or some private time with the one they love, I encourage you to go… Please go and tell me all the wonderful experiences you had. Tell me how it changed your life.

For now, I will just have to dream…

They are Hollywood, award winning professionals that bring their love of film and vision into your life. Each film is a personalized vintage-style film which speaks the essence of the wedding.
