One word: PINWHEELS! No matter if you are having an outdoor wedding and want to add something a little whimsical to it or a party and need to add a little fun, pinwheels are the way to go!! They are so cute and inexpensive. Plus, there are many sellers on www.etsy.com which make custom pinwheels to coordinate with your other decor! Below are some pictures of parties and weddings where pinwheels have been used. Hopefully these pictures will give you a little inspiration for your next fabulous event!
What girl doesn’t love shoes?
And even if you don’t, we’ve got some options for you too! I am loving that many brides are using their shoes as a way to have a peak of color. Whether in coordinating wedding colors, or as their something blue, it adds some fun to the traditional wedding attire.

If your not a heels kind of girl, then there is no reason to suffer on the biggest party of your life.


Flats and kitten heals are great for heel-haters. Have you seen Father of the Bride?? She wore bridal tennis shoes! As long as its “you”, it will work! And depending on the feel and location of your wedding, other alternatives make more sense.

Beach weddings don’t have to mean white rubber flip flops, there are some fabulous sandals out there. Wedges are perfect for outdoor weddings, where stilettos sink into the grass like quicksand. All of these fabulous options are from piperlime.com. The blue flats are from nordstroms.com.

I met Mallory last spring when she contacted me for the internship position at Always Planned. I knew instantly that we would be great friends – maybe because her interview lasted over 4 HOURS!
When she told me she was going to marry her high school sweetheart on her family farm my, heart skipped a beat. Although I am a total and complete girly girl, I must admit that I grew up on a farm in Mt. Sterling.
Since Mallory has been working with some of the best vendors in Lexington, she knew exactly what she wanted and I must say she got it right. The perfect photographer – Shaun Ring Photography, cake -Tinker’s, venues – Family Farm and Blue Licks State Park and of course the wedding planner – Always Planned!
Her day was flawless – as we could not be happier for the new Mr. and Mrs. Kyle Harmon! Since there were so many details – you will have to come back in a day or so to get the rest of the story. Until then, here is part 1 of her day. Enjoy!
