Green Wedding Inspiration Board

I came across a great green wedding set up (top right picture and bottom left) at Cococozy Wedding blog and couldn't resist making a lime green inspiration board around them. They would be such a fun wedding.

Featured Wedding by: Captured by Mikki

Mikki Platt with Captured by Mikki (and I'm sure her adorable husband Braydon) took these amazing photos at a wedding up in Sandy at La Caille. I love it that a husband and wife work together and share the same passion for something! I know this wedding isn't in Southern Utah, but it was too cute to pass up.  Good thing Captured comes down to Southern Utah to do weddings, because they have amazing talent. I'm so excited they are letting us share this event with Middle Aisle.

Bride: Emily & Groom: Rad
Where: La Caille, In Sandy. (Have you seen this place?? GORGEOUS!)
Cake: Carries Cakes
Floral:Bride & Blooms by Jaclyn George
Photography: Captured by Mikki




Check out this dress! Flawless. There is nothing better then when a bride with classic style picks out the perfect fitting dress and a groom isn't afraid to wear another color other then black.


I wish I was a bridemaid at this wedding just so I could have one of their dresses.


One of my favorite things about Captured by Mikki is that she always captures the details. Details are what make a wedding unique and so much fun.

Don't Forget to Tip

We give a tip to our hair stylists, valets, delivery drivers and waiters. We give tips for services that are above the average to the exceptional.


 This holds true to the wedding industry also. When someone has gone above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is perfect, it is not uncommon to tip those professionals.
Since these are not typical services that we tip for everyday, follow these simple guidelines to know what is appropriate.


When it comes to catering, a gratuity is usually already built in. Make sure you understand your contract and know if a gratuity was already added.


If not, remember to add a gratuity anywhere from 15 percent to 20 percent of the total bill. You would tip your waiter, so remember to tip your wait staff and adjust for this expense on your overall budget.



If you have a bartender at your event, decide beforehand if you will be allowing a tip jar to be placed at the bar or if you will be tipping the bartender yourself. If you would like to tip the bartender yourself plan on a 20 to 25 percent gratuity on the total bill.



If you will be having a tip jar and the bartender exceeds your expectations, a 10 percent tip is appropriate.



Officiants, who performs the ceremony, can receive a gratuity also; however, it may not be appropriate in some cases. Anywhere from $50 to $100 can be given to a clergy member for a donation or gratuity.


Civil officiants, like a clerk or judge, may not be allowed to accept anything other than the flat fee. Make sure you check with your officiant before hand.


As for photographers, florists, bakers, wedding planners and disc jockeys, a tip is not required. If you feel as though any of them were exceptional a 15 percent to 20 percent gratuity is a great gesture to show them how pleased you were.

If tipping is not an option, a gesture all wedding professionals love to receive are thank you notes. This lets the vendor know that they exceeded your expectations and did their job well done.

Eggplant, Burnt Orange and Chocolate Brown: Cookie Bar & Steamer Bar Signs

Imagine each one cut out if you will. :)










The bride and groom are doing a cute cookie bar with 5 different kinds of cookies. Here is a preview of the cookie signs. It is going to be alot of fun! Especially with the steamer bar. A steamer bar is like hot chocolate but with amazing flavors like almond and french vanilla served in a bar style. Check back for the pictures in a few weeks.

Rustic Wedding Inspiration Board

Rustic weddings are a great and really popular theme right now. This theme can also help cut down on costs since you can be eclectic with the decor and use things you already have.
I made these two inspiration boards a few months back for a wedding in Las Vegas. They were a hit on google image searches, so I wanted to share them again. ENJOY!

San Diego Sand





I got the opportunity in San Diego to follow around a the photographer on engagements. HOORAH! It's so much fun to be apart of more then just the planning and paper work. It was a blast to tag along in one of my favorite place in California, Oceanside down on The Strand.




I had to feature a few pictures from the photoshot. They are so much fun. It's not often a couple gets to go on location 6 hours away for engagements.






Thanks One Memory at a Time so letting me tag along!!!

Eggplant, Burnt Orange and Ivory on the Mind

My mother forwarded me this website, which turned out to be FABULOUS! They create inspiration boards. How cool is this? It is an inspiration board for a wedding on Nov. 20th at the BellTower. The Dessy Group  specializes in wedding attire and has a great program that can help you create your own inspiration board for your wedding.

The wedding I created colors are Eggplant, Burnt Orange and Ivory. We are using touches of damask, shabby chic chandeliers, branches and wine bottle centerpieces and lots and lots of candle light. This is going to be a really fun wedding! It's especially fun to see this inspiration board that was created so easy!
