travel inspired wedding treats for a destination wedding

Saw this today and I love it. Anything travel/map inspired is right up my alley. This would likely be something you could recreate on your own with a family cookie recipe, a stencil of the globe and gobs of patience.

Who doesn’t love an edible favor? No one I know. If you decide to make them and need a taste-tester, I’m your girl!

chicago wedding at holiday inn city centre

ashley and bryan’s wedding at holiday inn city centre was held in august in peoria. i had never been to peoria until i drove down for their big day but i was charmed with how quaint the city centre was. it was also really easy to walk park and forth between their ceremony site, sacred heart church and the holiday inn city centre where they held their reception. also, parking was just a dream. but i digress. the good stuff, that’s what you came for right? let’s begin then, shall we?

right. okay so i have noticed that when i am looking through thousands of pictures from my bride’s i am always saving the requisite shoe shots. i just can’t get enough of them. chris got a great shot of theirs:
