The vintage typewriter for writing personal notes to the couple is one of my favorite wedding ideas! Nowadays, many young people have never even seen a typewriter. Such a lovely touch.
Tell us about your reception site: The reception site was beautiful. It was under a huge tent with tons of candles all around. The tables were a mix of ivory, apple green, and chocolate brown linens. All of the floral arrangements were very natural to the area. We wanted the site to look like it had been waiting for Jared and I for years, that everything had just grow there for us for years. We used lots of moss, ferns, swamp lilies, orchids, tree limbs, stones, etc.
Favorite design element of your big day: The flowers!
Our favorite detail of the wedding was: Seeing each other’s face as I walked down the aisle during the ceremony!
Were there any special family traditions you included in the wedding? We had all of the family members who had passed away with us in pictures.
Funniest moment? I almost tripped when we came back down the aisle together. I caught myself though, and I don’t think that anyone noticed.
Three adjectives that describe the day are: Natural, Beautiful, Antique.
What advice would you give to someone planning their wedding? Enjoy every moment because it goes by so quickly and don’t miss a detail. Be appreciative of everyone who helps, let them know how much they mean to you. Get a good photographer! That is the one thing you will keep for the rest of your life and you want to make sure every moment is captured!
Best advice or most memorable comment someone made to you during the wedding celebration? Always kiss goodnight, no matter what!
What’s next for you as a couple? Right now we are trying to settle in to our new lives together, but we eventually, maybe in a year, want to have children.
Congratulations, Jill + Jared! We wish you a lifetime of love and joy~

The typewriter idea is grand. Each wedding can have its own novel ideas and personal touches to make them memorable. And it’s so true that most young folks never have typed on anything but a computer keyboard. Great motivation to participate!

Just beautiful! I love Anne. She photographed my sister’s wedding and did an amazing job. She is so sweet too! Love her!
Yay for Anne!!!! :-D We love her work!!!
Wow! I love the colors. The shot of the flower girls is classic. So cute. The wider angle of the house and the linear line of people leading up to it is very well executed. SW does a great job of displaying photos on the blog. I love it!Peace,Parris
