TIP TUESDAY // Picture Picnic Basket

Came upon this genius idea the other day...pack a "picture picnic basket" for the bridal party to enjoy while you are out having photos taken. Especially if between the ceremony and reception; you will miss cocktail hour AND everyone will be hungry. So fill this basket with snacks, finger sandwiches, and treats to hold you over until you get to dinner.

INSPIRATION WEDNESDAY // Wedding Shower

Stumbled upon this vendor on Etsy who makes adorable printables for wedding showers, https://www.etsy.com/shop/sayidoprintables.

We especially liked the "Wishes for the Couple" option.
