Real Wedding of Caitlin and Matt by Love Life Images

I am so excited to be able to share today's real wedding with you.  Caitlin and Matt's wedding was filled with romantic and playful details from the soft and earthy decor to the super-fun and entertaining yard games.  Photographed by the amazing Jennifer Domenick of Love Life Images, Jennifer did a fantastic job in capturing the life and laughter in this wedding.  Enjoy!

Simple yet elegant table centerpieces were put together using soft pink peonies.  Flower planters like the Zinnia plant above were presented with decorative round signs printed with the name of the flower posted on casual wooden posts.  Soft, earthy garland was strung loosely behind the bride and groom's chairs.

Croquet and other yard games kept guests entertained and laughing all night long and lent to the fun atmosphere of this wedding.

Managing Your Guest List - Common Questions and Answers

It would be perfectly lovely to have the funds and space to invite everyone to your wedding from that coworker that you barely know three cubicles over to distantly related cousins and their plus ones. For most of us, however, there are budget restrictions, people we don't particularly care for but feel we ought to include, space restrictions at the chosen venue, and too many other possible limitations to list. It isn't fun to cut people from your dream wedding list, but sometimes it must be done. Here are a few answers to the most commonly asked guest list questions.

Q: My wedding will be very small. What do I tell people that will not be invited?

A: This is very simple. You tell them exactly that - your guest list is small - limited by funds and space available, so you are only able to invite close family and friends. Don't get too caught up in social obligation or feelings of guilt. It is perfectly understandable to want only those you are most intimately connected with to witness such an emotional event in your life. Your not-so-close friends and distant family will understand this. They may even feel awkward attending if they do not know your group of guests well.

Q: Can I invite guests to the reception, but not the ceremony?
