Introductions & {Rummage the Shed}

Good morning lovelies things have been growing over here at Bustle, so the time has come to hire an intern and we found the perfect fit...please blow kisses to our new intern... Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn share our passion for bringing amazing details and personality to every wedding. We are so happy to have her on our team and we didn't have any hesitation about throwing here right into our blog. So from now on Tuesdays you will be seeing posts from Kaitlyn.

This morning I was inspired by what else but my old pop’s garage! What may look like piles of junk could be heaps of treasure for your rustic wedding. From old tool boxes to wheelbarrows, old scales, chicken wire, typewriters, antique tools, wooden ladders, and even an old truck or classic motorcycle. It’s also a fantastic way to get the men in the family involved in your big day, so don’t be afraid to hand them over a project or two! I urge you to take a trip over to the old shed, wipe off the dust, and enjoy discovering an abundance of retro and rustic finds. Rummage away!

Real Wedding {Forest Hill: JD & Natalie}

Did you spy our feature on Style Me Pretty yesterday? If not pop over and check it out now.

This couple was so fun and their joy could be felt just by sitting in a room with them. J.D. and Natalie wanted their guests to be treated to a fun night filled with dancing, photobooths and snacks. I wanted the signs to be a bit more cheeky and fun. Please enjoy this bright vibrant wedding.

What's Happening at the Boutique?

I just realized I have not been posting in this area for a while, so I am bringing it back. Things have been crazy here at Bustle. We have been booking 2012 couples and still have a few 2011 spots open. Our days have been filled with design meetings, sketches, site visits and vendor relations. Wedding season is in full swing over here. We also launched our Custom & Vintage rental company Heritage & Craft. Bustle also launched our Styling services for photoshoots.

We will be styling for the fall/winter issue of a major magazine. We are so excited to have this opportunity.

Shutter Time

Old shutters are such a beautiful addition to your wedding decor. The possibilities are endless!
