Blue Wedding and Reception

Bright and Blue | Kellie + Carl | September 22

What a fun wedding this was! Kellie + Carl have such charming personalities and the look of their wedding matched them perfectly – bright, energetic, and elegant! They’re both in the airline industry, so they found several creative ways to use that motif throughout their engagement and wedding. Our thanks to Ace Photography for sharing the photos with us.

Best of 2012 | Bridesmaid Dresses

Here they are, our favorite bridesmaids dresses of last year! Clearly, purple and pink were very popular, and for good reason. I also really loved how so many brides let their bridesmaids choose their own dresses and accessories within a given color palette so that each person could look beautiful and express their own personal style. What a difference that can make! Can’t wait to see what this year brings!

Relaxed and Rustic | Lindsey + Graham | July 27

On a warm summer day, Lindsey and Graham said “I Do” in the garden at CJ’s Off the Square. While Graham was stationed in Afghanistan, Lindsey worked with the team at CJ’s to create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for the couple’s friends and family. Despite the high temperature, nothing was going to keep this group from having a great time. We love this pairing of navy blue with soft pink. Loads of rustic details like our whiskey barrel chandelier, wood chargers and vintage inspired chalkboards made this the perfect look for this laid back Southern couple.

A big thank you to  Matt Andrews Photography for sharing these beautiful images with us.

Birds of a Feather | Cassi + Shawn | June 2

Weddings just don’t get much more fun than this! Cassi + Shawn’s bold summer color scheme matched their fun and vibrant personalities so well, and the owl theme they used (a creature they both came to love through Shawn’s work with them at Auburn University) couldn’t have been any cuter and well executed. Our big thanks to Evin Photography for sharing these photos with us – so good to have her back here at CJ’s again!

The Lighter Side of Fall | Style Ideas

We have so much fun coming up with the design and style for our Open Houses, and last fall was no exception! Ulmer Studios did a great job capturing that light, fresh fall look we were aiming for. Autumn weddings don’t always need to be the Harvest look or deep Jewel tones – you can keep it airy by using paler versions like peach, copper, and baby blue with your wood and earth tones.

Detail of the Week | Bridesmaid Cosmetic Bag

What better way to thank your bridesmaids for participating in your Big Day than loading them up with wedding day essentials, all wrapped up in a gorgeous cosmetic bag?

Alleviate extra wedding day stress by equipping them with a few emergency tools. It’s a perfect combination of practical and pretty.

A few of my favorite essentials:

  • miniature sewing kit
  • bobby pins
  • safety pins
  • tissues
  • travel size deodorant and hairspray
  • breath mints

And just for fun:

  • miniature bottles of champagne
  • disposable camera
  • a hand written note for each bridesmaid, telling a favorite moment you’ve shared
  • and, of course, chocolate

This waffle weave bag, protected by an inner plastic liner, is available in our online boutique along with many other gifts, accessories and invitations.

June Garden | Rachel + Tim | June 24
