I mentioned earlier this week about how I was going to reuse my wedding decor for a home makeover after the wedding! Well, here is a tip for you to do so.

Wine Crates work perfect especially for vineyard weddings. The uses are endless as you can decorate your space by  add your favors or place cards in them or standing your cake on one for an extra touch. Depending on your budget, you could use one for each centerpiece by placing your centerpiece items inside the box. Either way, there really are quite a lot of options wedding-wise!

After the wedding, these are one of the most multi-purpose items you could have. Use them to store items on high shelves which will hold a bunch of clutter, but all that will be seen is the exterior of this beautiful and rustic crate. Also use them to create shelving or as planter boxes.

For a price tag of about $20,you have yourself a beautiful and rare addition to your wedding, then you have something which can be used constantly in your home! Enjoy!

Found this store online, but you can also check out local vineyards or supply stores!

The other day I said, “I have a major vendor crush right now and I am so giddy!” Well, this guy and his incredible work are the sources of my giddiness! Sometimes you come across incredibly artistic individuals who really get it. Aaron Shintako pushes what “photography” is made to be and he goes t that extra mile to capture the real emotion of the couple. He really communicates the love through his work. The composition of the photo is just gorgeous. I am saying all of this from a few e-mails, looking at his website and watching, yes watching, his amazing About Me video. Oh and first impression wise, he got me by playing my all time favorite artist on his website :) But these are all just first impressions until you really see what he can do!

Love the scene, the wine glasses, the dress-wow, I’m definitely in love with this shoot!

Definitely helps the photographer when you have an incredibly gorgeous couple like this!

This is just a beyond incredible engagement shoot! The colors, the angles, the everything, it doesn’t get any more rich than this! Thanks to Aaron for letting me show off this incredible engagement shoot. He is definitely on my list of photographers I wish I could have!

Love this beautiful engagement shoot by Briana Marie Photography! The shoot took place in gorgeous Napa Valley, which is where I would like to do my engagement shoot as well! The vineyards and open land is just gorgeous! She has some adorable outfits on too.

Their wedding will take place this summer in Hawaii! How fun is that???
