ceremony backdrops

as a strong proponent of outdoor ceremonies that play to the beauty of the natural environment, i felt it was only right i present some different examples of how this can be done. i love when ceremony backdrops are simple, incorporate the surrounding nature, and only involve minimal materials, like fabric streamers and poms, tulle or lace.

i just adore how these backdrops let the wedding and location speak for themselves. they really lend themselves well to the idea of "that wedding magic," don't you think?

wedding week: point 16

i've found the most amazing wedding venue ever. i'm basically speechless, it's that perfect.

feast your eyes on point 16, in beautiful big sur, california:

unfortunately, more information about the location (or pictures documenting its gorgeousity!) is rather difficult to find. anyone out there know anything about it?

spelunk

i know what spelunking is, i know what a spelunker does, but i don't know if spelunk is actually a word.

that red spell check squiggly line just popped up, so i'm guessing not, but i'm gonna stick with "spelunk" anyways. you know why? because it makes caves sound fun and not scary.

i am terrified of caves. well actually, i am terrified of bats, and more specifically being stuck in small, enclosed spaces with bats. i actually think caves themselves are pretty cool. especially this one, the world's biggest "underground labyrinth," Son Doong, in Vietnam:

it seriously looks awesome. sign me up! but only if nat geo can guarantee my visit will be 100% bat free.
