Fall Wedding Invitation Inspiration with Basic Invite {Sponsored}

Brad and I have been married for seven years, planning our wedding was crazy, stressful and yet so much fun. I loved picking out themes, flowers, dresses, cake and everything else. Even after we picked our May wedding date, I played out so many scenarios in my head. I planned several weddings for each season.

Fall is a beautiful time to get married. Rich reds, vibrant yellows and cheerful oranges make for a nature-inspired palette. Wood grain and bark textures add to a warm atmosphere. Like these fall themed wedding invitations: Continue reading →

Weekend In Photos

Brad was in his friend’s wedding on Saturday. The wedding was the ultimate fall-theme wedding and was beautiful! It was full of reds, oranges, leaves and burlap. I’ve seen some outdoorsy/fall weddings that were over the top, this one had the perfect balance of fall, outdoor and traditional.

10 Tips for Being an Excellent Bridesmaid

Posted on August 19, 2014 by Rachel

Being asked to be a bridesmaid in someone’s wedding is a testament to the relationship that the couple has with you. I’ve been a bridesmaid, a maid of honor, a bride, a matron of honor and a bride’s matron (seems full circle!) as well as a wedding guest, videographer and photographer’s assistant. I’ve been honored with those roles and I’ve picked up a lot of advice to share with other bridesmaids.

1. Be a team player.

You don’t have to be friends with the other bridal attendants. You don’t even have to like them! But you do have to work with them. You’re on “team bride” together so put aside petty arguments and badmouthing and work with each other. Chances are you’re going to be planning a bridal shower and a bachelorette party together as well as working as a team to help the bride get ready, stay calm and enjoy her wedding day. After that if you’re all friends, great! If not, no problem.

2. Be organized. Continue reading →

I got it from my Momma

I’m so happy to share a special refashion with you today… one that is NOT mine!

*gasp*

One of the most popular topics on ProbablyRachel is refashioning clothing, I’m often asked how I learned to sew and aside from learning how to hem a pair of pants and sew on a button, I never really was taught anything else. I watched my mom sew from time to time, but I think there’s a part of my refashioning that’s inherited – genetically speaking.

My mom is a very creative lady and I’m sad to say I didn’t realize that fact before I became an adult. Today’s refashion project is hers and she graciously allowed me to share it.

Mom recently remarried and while wedding planning, she came across a cute hi-lo hem, peach chiffon dress in the juniors’ department. Yes, my mom shops in the juniors’ department. She saw that it had the potential to be a gorgeous going-away* honeymoon dress for her… just not with the black accents.

Three Years

Posted on May 28, 2014 by Rachel

Today is Brad’s and my third wedding anniversary.

Three years.

A lot can happen in three years. A lot.

Since the day those young kids, who actually looked like their passport photos, made vows to each other a lot of things have changed… but not the vows.

2011

Part of our vows was a promise to grow together. In the past three years we’ve both grown, on our own and with each other. Continue reading →
