Kevin Swan out did himself at the wedding last weekend of Brittany and Luke Pittman in Indianapolis!  600 people gathered to join in the celebration…and a celebration it was!  From the stunning church to the unbelievable backyard tent reception, every detail was planned and executed perfectly!  The pictures below are a small preview of the elaborate event that was put on to honor a wonderful marriage—keep a look out for more photos from Kevin on his website!

Why have just one or two flower girls when you can five adorable gals walking down the aisle to “Four Seasons” by Vivaldi.

I was lucky enough to attend this wedding and I want to commend Kevin Swan on not only truly capturing the wedding moments, but I was amazed at the close-up shots that were taken during the ceremony while not distracting the wedding one bit!  I could probably spend an entire month highlighting the details at this breathtaking wedding, look for more to come soon. :)

I DO in Eye Wear

The one thing during your wedding that you do not want to miss is your fiance’s smile when he first sees you walking down the aisle.  Don’t deprive yourself of 20/20 vision because of the way you think you look in glasses! Your groom fell in love with you because of your confidence and beauty…so don’t hesitate to be yourself and look like YOU on your most important day!

What are your thoughts on walking down the aisle with or without your glasses?

Luxury Loos :: Outdoor Weddings

Monday, May 18th, 2009

You have finished planning your breathtaking outdoor wedding dripping in elegance, with a complete open bar for your guests.  Everyone’s first thought will be where do we use the bathroom after a few of these complimentary drinks!  This is not always the most glamorous part of planning a wedding, but I suggest in order to keep your friends and family members happy you think this through!

I encourage you to embrace a higher style and order a luxury loo for your event, ensuring your guests comfort.  Pictured below is Premier Luxury Loo’s, out of England, but if you are here in the U.S. they have plenty of these upscale restrooms to rent!

From the outside it may not look like anything special…

But when you walk inside you are greeted with granite counter tops, floral arrangements and plenty of mirror space to freshen up!

I realize this is not the most romantic thing to discuss and plan for while organizing your wedding!  But I would challenge you to provide a luxury loo for your guests at your wedding and I guarantee that this will be one more detail that will WOW them!
