All couples wish for a sunny wedding day but the weather was certainly on Sarah and Tyler's side. Their wedding, which took place at the Carnton Plantation in Franklin, TN, was photographed by The Collection and their photos were simply lovely. Below are some of my favorite shots from their day. For full details and more beautiful photos of their outdoor wedding, visit their feature on the The Collection's blog.

paperKuts Studio, a Nashville invitation boutique, has just added the fun and fabulous DynaSmiles stationery line. DynaSmiles specializes in stationery featuring colorful character illustrations for women of color.


Bridal Shower ~ Couple's Bridal Shower ~ Baby Shower ~ Couple's Baby Shower ~ Graduation ~ Birthday Parties
The DynaSmiles line has invitations for weddings, baby, birthdays, graduations and other social events. While the invitations can be ordered directly, I always recommend that you meet with a local stationer and order from a pro because you can see and feel the products and receive one-on-one help on wording, etiquette. Often, pros can even show you a proof so that you know exactly what you are getting and can correct any errors.
paperKuts is a home-based retail store located in the East Nashville area and offers a no pressure, helpful environment that ABG brides have appreciated. Contact paperKuts' owner Kim directly to schedule an appointment to see the DynaSmiles line or other chic invitation lines. Phone: 615.885.0231 or email.

These fun desserts would make delicious wedding treats. Contact Celeste to learn more about southern-style catering and her specialty desserts.
