About Me

My name is Megan...and simply stated...I love weddings. I love what they represent and appreciate every detail that goes into making your wedding day a perfect start to the rest of your life. I decided to write this blog, because even though my wedding is done...I learned a lot, have a lot to share and have an honest approach to help the everyday bride succeed in throwing the wedding of their dreams...and everything that follows.

Sentimental Guest Book


Back in the day, the wedding guest book was a necessity. Everyone who attended a wedding was considered a witness and was required to sign the marriage document, or guest book. Today, even though the legal requirements have changed, the concept of a guest book remains as a wonderful sentiment for the wedding couple. Whether it be for your wedding, engagement party, or bridal shower, creating a unique guest book is a special way for guests to share their feelings and encouragement with the couple.

Recently, I had been asked to help create a special Engagement Party guest book for a wonderful couple who is very dear to my families heart. Here is how I helped create something that I hope they will cherish forever:

Materials: beautifully bound 50 page leather book from Italy, 38 pictures, 12 Beatles song lyric quotes, some thick brown cardstock and some good picture glue.

The process is simple, after a little organizing and some gluing and cutting, my dear friends had a unique, one of a kind guest book that is full of loving sentiments and pictures chronicling their relationship. (Tip: put the invitation to the event on the front page of the book, that way the couple can remember which event the book relates to.) The most beautiful part was the fact that everyone got to share in progress of their relationship through the pictures. It is very nostalgic sentiment and really unites everyone around the couple.

There is nothing more beautiful than helping a couple celebrate their love!
