Inspiration Board: An Outdoor Wedding
This wedding board is like a romantic picnic with friends and family. I would love to spend the afternoon eating and drinking at one of these adorable picnice tables.

Miss to Mrs. with Name Change Service
A majority of brides take their husband’s last name after marriage. Sounds easy enough to do, but it’s a bit of a hassle having to call or email every company, service, or government organization you correspond with to figure out how to change your last name on all new documents you’ll receive after the wedding. Not to worry. A new online service launched that will help you do just that.
I’m a Mrs. recently announced its online name change service nationwide in the United States. The service provides brides with all of the information they need to change their name with every organization they belong to, including everything from their Social Security Card to their Safeway Club Card. They’ve already personally contacted every organization in their database to find out the step-by-step instructions required to change your name so you don’t have to.
I’m a Mrs. offers two packages at two different price points and until August 31st, they are offering US brides their premium package for $29.95 with promotional code ‘MRS USA’. Might be worth checking out!
Please be a Dear, Wrap in Clear
I recently received a bridal shower invitation that said, “Please be a dear, and wrap in clear.” To be honest, I had never seen that before and wondered why the heck they would want you to do that? So I did a little research on it and I thought I’d pass it on to anyone else who had never heard of doing that.
From what I’ve read, this is for a “display shower” where all of the gifts are set out for everyone to see. This comes in handy especially when a lot of people are invited to the shower and unwrapping each gift will take up a lot of time. The bride-to-be then has more time to enjoy her guests. I also read that it is a tradition in Italy, although I am Italian American and it was news to me. Maybe I’m a little old school, but aside from the food and eating, isn’t opening the gifts a major part of the shower? Maybe only showers I’ve been to.

Inspiration Board: Barn Wedding
I love the idea of an outdoor wedding and this board features so many details that are perfect for an outdoor wedding. A barn is a great space for a ceremony while the long cafeteria style table seats guests for a reception. I absolutely love the lemonade stand to keep guests cool and refreshed.

There are so many pieces of the board that I love! How about that flower hair piece? And blue bird boutonniere with a bright bow tie…amazing! These colors create a cozy palette that I simply love.
