Posted by (once like a spark) on Feb 17, 2012 in (oncelikeaspark) | 0 comments

There is SO much that we loved about Jessica + Jon’s Augusta, GA wedding that we haven’t been able to wait to share it with you! This one is definitely a two-parter, so be on the lookout for Part 2 soon! We really felt like Jessica + Jon pulled off quite a stunning event, and we have loads of tips to share with you using Jessica + Jon’s wedding as inspiration. See the bottom of the post for all vendor information!

1 – For all you DIY-ers, use a Day-Of Director: Jessica and her mom are SUPER creative and handled all of the DIY details throughout the entire planning process. Because they were so hands-on before the wedding, they knew they wanted to relax and enjoy their hard work on the wedding day.

2 – If you rock an amazing headpiece, make sure to keep everything else simple: We are all OBSESSED with Jessica’s headpiece. Seriously obsessed. She knew she wanted to go all Sex In The City for her headpiece (you know…big/feathers/dramatic), and had hers handcrafted for her by Mayra’s Veils. The reason we think she wore this piece SO well is partly because she let that be the statement piece, and kept everything else simple (her jewelry, hair, dress, veil). We LOVE and think she pulled it off perfectly.

3. Buy shoes you love, that you’ll actually wear again. Most of us on OLAS world did NOT take this advice, and wore lame weddingish shoes that haven’t seen the light of day since. Not Jessica. She was hoping to buy her first pair of Louboutin’s, and then saw this green pair that was perfect with her wedding colors….and the rest is history! We’d be willing she’s worn these a few times since then.

4. Think outside the box for Save the Dates! Jessica and Jon had these SUPER cute “tickets” designed for their guests for Save the Dates by Papercake Designs, as well as a custom monogram. Love this idea!
