WEDDING BLOG

After being inundated with wonderful messages on Facebook this morning (It’s my birthday! And is Facebook not the very best thing to happen to birthdays?) I’ve got family and friends on my mind. What a perfect day to show off the super cool family trees and genealogy charts made just for your wedding by the gals at Melangerie! 

These creatively designed charts map out all of your friends, family and wedding party and how they’re related to you and your sweetie. You can display it at the wedding to help guests know who’s who, and keep it as a family heirloom long after the fact. Customize it to match your wedding colors and personal style, order one framed or unframed, and even have it turned into paper place mats for your reception! Such a fun idea. Visit the Melangerie website or their Etsy shop for more information.

Everyone has their own special love affair with music, and because it plays a role in everyone’s life, it of course plays a huge role at weddings. Whether you’re excited about slow dancing to Sam Cooke, cranking up the Kanye or watching your grandma bust a move to The Beatles, everyone’s got their own personal musical style! We’ve had music on the mind at Junebug lately, so we’ve decided to open up the conversation, share the love, and give away our favorite music gadget, the iPod Nano! Seriously, look how cute those are!

Let us know about the song you’ve chosen for your first dance as husband and wife (or the many songs you’re considering!) and we’ll randomly choose a lucky winner from the bunch next week. Good luck!

Real Simple Magazine has just released their 2009 weddings issue, and might I say that it is lovely! I’ve got my copy right here that they were kind enough to send my way, and just as the title states, in the best way possible, it’s Real Simple.

With all the information, ads and stimulus we take in everyday it is such a pleasure to open this magazine up and see a clean layout without any clutter. The photos are beautiful, the Real Weddings are full of fun ideas for every budget and the articles are straight forward and useful. Of course I’ll admit that the thing that got me from the get-go was that their cover is pink and green! (We like pink and green around here.) Visit your local Crate and Barrel store to pick up a copy, order online at CrateandBarrel.com or find it on news stands beginning in February.
