I am SO excited to introduce you to the fabulous Jeff Wood! He has dreamed up some of the sweetest songs I have ever heard and I simply HAD to share them with you. Here are a few shots of him by Josh Solar Photography.
Below are the lyrics to “The Ride”, which I absolutely adore! Jeff wrote them right around the time he we about to get married to the love of his life. Can you really get any sweeter than that?!
I have heard all the stories been told,
Finding love makes you never grow old.
Through the good and the bad what a ride,
To have someone you love by your side.
Can I go for a ride, through a lifetime with you?
When we’re old and gray,
In our final days,
I will still be here holding your hand.
You’ll be great grandpa, I’ll be great grandma,
On the ride of a lifetime with you.
Well there’s nothing like walking in two,
I’m full of hugs from you.
If you promise me love all your life,
I will never set foot from your side.
I would love for a ride through life time with you.
When we’re old and gray,
In our final days,
I will still be here holding your hand.
You’ll be great grandpa, I’ll be great grandma,
On the ride of a lifetime with you.
Can I go for a ride,
Through a lifetime with you?
When we’re old and gray,
In our final days,
I will still be here holding your hand.
You’ll be great grandpa, I’ll be great grandma,
On the ride of a lifetime with you.
On the ride of a lifetime with you.
Sweet, right?! Check it out on Josh’s site or hear some of Jeff’s other tunes on his website. While you’re there, check out “Magic”, another unbearably sweet song he wrote for his baby daughter.
If you live in the Kansas City area and want Jeff to play at your event, just shoot him an email for this rates and availability.

I stumbled across these beauties on BeautifulMountainButterfly.com . At quick glance I wondered if the butterfly’s were sacrificed for a great gift, but after reading more information on their webisite, I discovered, all their butterflies live a long and natural life. And, any purchases you make helps save the rain forest, how rockin’ is that! There are several different varieties you can purchase on their site, my favorite being the Blue Morpho. Anyone having a butterfly themed wedding, or just loves butterflies, as I do, this site is perfect. I think it’s a lovely gift for the bridesmaids, because every gal is as beautiful as a butterfly.

I have been in several weddings and have received some ho-hum gifts that I have never used again. So for my wedding I wanted to put a bit of thought into my gifts. I wanted to give my bridesmaids something they will use more than just once. Below are the gifts I am thinking of giving everyone, and then adding in a couple personalized gifts for each girl. I have already got the monogrammed totes that I am putting everything in. Then its just some simple gifts that are relaxing! A plush robe, some shower gel, candles and my favorite wine, Cakebread.

While I think a lot of cakes are pleasing to the eye, there is just something fabulous about cakes with tiers that aren’t quite proportionate. Maybe it’s because it’s funky, fun, modern, just-not-traditional…. This one serves a whopping 40 (I would have guessed more). Image from Brides, photographed by John Aquino .

CANDLES! I love them! No, they don’t cover every inch of my living space (Hello! What a hazard!), but when it comes to weddings and events, especially those romantic ones, candles are the perfect ambiance setters. You can use them in all sorts of places – during the ceremony, as aisle liners, reception decor, work them into your tablescape, the list goes on and on. Let me share with you some fabulous candle inspiration! (Side Note: While it seems unique lighting has come into the spotlight {tehe}, there is just something about the delicate flicker candles have to offer that any kind of pin or spot lighting just can’t replace!)
Here is one of my favorite pictures/tables from Brides.com (saw it in a magazine first). I absolutely adore how the candle sticks blend in with the rest of the table. But, I am positive that as the sun goes down and the lights are dimmed, they would provide just the right amount of light. Photo from Mark Lund.

This week I’m going to be selfish and post about {wedding} things I love. Hopefully you’ll like them too!!
First on my list: The ever-fabulous vintage Rolls Royce. This particular vehicle is a 1960 Silver Cloud II (image from Advanced Limousine Services). To some, it may be a little cleche, but this car, to me, is the epitome of the “classic wedding”.
What are some of your wedding favorites?
