Real Wedding - Lauren and Robert - 09/26/09

Yes, it's another real wedding for the week...we're so lucky to have received tons of great pro pics from our weddings...I just have to share!!!

Lauren and Robert were married on September 26, 2009 at St. Mary's Church in Annapolis and the reception followed at the Annapolis Yacht Club. I had so much fun working on the items for their wedding. I'm sure you'll remember their quick turnaround invitations and fun post with all the crab details.

Mike Busada from Mike B Photography took these phenomenal photos of the big day. I just love some of the unique shots with the wedding invitation and really, how cute are Lauren and Robert in this first photo?!?! Enjoy!

Real Wedding - Stephanie & Jay - 09/06/09

I'm SO excited about this real wedding post. Stephanie and Jay were married on September 6, 2009 in Big Sky, Montana. First let me say that Stephanie and Jay are the sweetest couple. In the span of the year, we must of exchanged hundreds of emails and phone calls. In the midst of a phone call, Allie and I mentioned how we thought this was going to be such a cool wedding and we'd love to come...Stephanie's response..."Sure, we'd love to have you!". Like I said, a great couple!

So, when I got the email from Stephanie last night with the link to her pro pics, I was overjoyed and couldn't wait to dive into the details from their big day in Big Sky. And, oh boy, they are awesome! Their photographer is Larry Stanley - Montana Wedding Photographer. (Check out his two websites for his portfolio and resource site.) In a comment Stephanie made on Larry's blog she says that she knew from their first phone call that he was the perfect photographer for them. I think you will agree when you see all of the photos below.

A big thanks to Larry for responding to my request for photos in less than a day! You are phenomenal! :) And, Larry promises me a link to Stephanie and Jay's album, when it is complete, so I'll be sure to share that with you.

Finally, as you enjoy all of these pictures, you might remember some of our older blog posts with shots of Stephanie and Jay's save the date, invitation and other details. We loved designing everything for their natural and elegant big day. Hope you like everything too! Enjoy!

Real Wedding - Nyya & Mike - 10/11/09

It's a real wedding week here at Allison Barnhill Designs...I just got some awesome photos from Nyya and Mike. I just love how everything came together for their wedding. There were just so great touches -- like the hearts on the bottom of the girls shoes! Too cute! And, love the pics of our invitation, table number, Mr. & Mrs. signs and place cards. Thanks to Nyya for sending the photos and sharing her big day with us. Congrats!!

Disney Day

Kimmy and Dan were married this past weekend in Disney World! :) I'm so excited to share her Disney inspired wedding accessories. Some of you will probably remember their invitations, which were just so adorable...with the wand and fairy dust. So, we had to carry that design into their big day items. From the program to the menus, everying had the fairy dust. Even their table tents were named after rides in Disney World. I can't wait to see pictures from this wedding. I know it had to have been a fun wedding...and that Kimmy and Dan will "live happily ever after"...enjoy!

Crabby "K"

Hopefully, you remember Lauren and Robert's "triple surprise" invitation post from back in August. Well, their wedding day has come and gone and I can finally share the pics of their day of accessories. First of all, I LOVE this crabby K design and how it evolved from the single crab design on their invite. On the invite, we used one crab...on the day after brunch invite, we used two crabs next to each other and then on the day of accessories the two crabs are holding the hanging "K". Too cute! Lauren actually used this design on their favor -- a beer koozie. I can't wait to see the pro pics from this wedding. In the meantime, here are a few shots of the items we did for them. Enjoy!

Holding Hands

Allison and Andrew came to us to design their starfish inspired invitation. (Click here to see the blog post.) So, when they came back to have us do their wedding day accessories, of course, we were happy to oblige. For the accessories, Allison had seen a blog post with my "starfish holding hands" design. She wanted to incorporate that into her programs, table numbers, signs, etc. We were happy to switch up her monogram a bit. I love how the slight change made a huge difference, but also gave a very coordinated look. Can't wait to see pics from their big day! Enjoy!
