camp indie wed!

As we prepare for Indie Wed this weekend, we’re taking a look back at last year, when we put together Camp Indie Wed with some of our favorite friendors (aka vendor-friends)! It was so ah-mazing that we just had to share…

The only wedding show we ever participate in rolled around last winter and we (per usual) stayed up all night putting the finishing touches on our booth. Indie Wed at the Ravenswood Event Center is one of our favorite times of the year because we get to see so many of our very favorite vendors […]

best thing we saw today: pressed bouquet flowers

Lucy had a brilliant idea to preserve her wedding bouquet flowers in a gorgeous, modern way.
