Heading for Rome we decided to take the train into the city. Up early and off the boat to Rome we went. In Rome we played tourist all the way. The temperature was 98 degrees before you factor in the wind and heat coming up from the road. We had to be careful how far we walked from place to place. Truly an amazing place to go sight-seeing and hang out. We had a lot of fun walking around and checking out Rome. The food in Rome tasted so good to us – maybe it was because we walked everywhere and sitting down to amazing food after working up an appetite helped. Whatever the case, it seemed like the plate of spaghetti we ever had.
Courtney and Trevor’s romantic wedding at Bridle Oaks was beautiful! The colors, the floral and the build-your-own-trail-mix bar made it so special, right to the end with a sparkler exit. And Courtney’s wedding shoes! Gorgeous. Thank you Courtney and Trevor for including us in this wonderful day! xo

From Courtney: Describe your wedding day style in one sentence: We kept the words ‘romantic’ and ‘whimsical’ in mind when making any decisions for the wedding. Wedding day color scheme: Burgundy, blush, green, and ivory Describe your wedding planning process: Pinterest became my best friend! I created boards for every part of the wedding (photography, florals, linens, etc…) and then after I felt like I had pinned everything there was to pin, I went through and deleted anything I didn’t absolutely love. I then showed the boards to my vendors and we went from there. What advice would you give to future brides for their wedding day? Try not to stress out! I know everyone else is probably telling you the same thing, but that’s because it’s important! It might feel impossible, but you’ll probably end up feeling ridiculous for stressing so much on the day of after you and your husband/wife are married. Anything you would have done differently? Yes! I would have stressed out less! And I also would have tried on a bunch more dresses. I love the dress I chose, but I think I committed too quickly just to get that part over with. Most memorable moment during the planning process: Finally setting our date. We were engaged for over two years before we set our date so that was really exciting. What are you most looking forward to as a married couple? We’re both bringing a lot of personal goals to the marriage so we’re both excited to see and help each other achieve them! Which moment are you the most excited to see in photos? The first look! What was your wedding inspiration? I followed a lot of wedding websites and blogs on social media (like SMP, BHLDN, etc…) and used the weddings that they featured as inspiration. Describe some of your favorite wedding details and how you came up with them: We loved every single detail of the day so much, it’s hard to pick a favorite!
