An Intimate, Classic, Budget Wedding: Just What They Wanted

Friday, January 21, 2011

Nature's colors provide pretty accents in today's wedding.  With the help of industry professionals and their wedding planner Sarah Goude with Regalo Design, Denise and Philly had an intimate wedding and ceremony with 65 of their closest friends, family and children.  Simplicity is such an understated way to achieve sophistication. By using classic colors of green and white, their wedding turned out to be exactly what the bride and groom wanted.

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
