This fake couple stole our wedding…good thing Phil and I are way better looking than this two peeps. Source
When you get engaged and you’re a girl you tend to go a lot of wedding blogs to get ideas for your wedding. There are a ton of really good ones like Style Me Pretty, 100 Layer Cake, Green Wedding Shoes, and Ruffled. Back in November I picked my colors and my theme of my wedding. I swear I didn’t copy them from any of those blogs. I chose the colors below and my theme was going to be 1920s/Art Deco. My vision was that Nucky Thompson (from “Boardwalk Empire”) and Jay Gatsby (from “The Great Gatsby”) were throwing a movie premiere party for our wedding in the 1920s. I love everything that has to do with old Hollywood glam and I love the decor and the style of the 1920s, so it was the perfect combination.
So during my lunch break at work I browsed my favorite wedding blogs including Ruffled and came across this blog post: http://ruffledblog.com/mint-and-gold-wedding-inspiration/ I was in shock. This photo shoot was my theme, my colors, and everything! I didn’t know if I should have been pissed or flattered. This blog definitely stole our wedding because it was posted in January and I came up with my theme in November. It was also very weird that my favorite dessert, salted caramel cake, was a featured dessert in the photo shoot. But, after thinking about it for a couple of hours, I was grateful to Ruffled for “stealing” my wedding theme and colors because now I have actually pictures to show our vendors what we want for flowers, linens, and decor, etc. So, brides out there let me know if you need a wedding theme and/or colors because apparently I’m a “trendsetter.”
See the Salted Caramel Pops! They are onto me!
Phil & Alysse's Wedding Blog :p+a: 
These photos were shot on October 27, 2012 for a professional photography workshop in Knoxville TN called “Personal Professional”. It got picked up by Ruffled in December and published in January. See, there is a process to it all-with tons of submissions, if your work is selected, it is placed on a calendar with other events to be published in the order it is accepted. So no need to be “pissed or flattered”.
Thanks Shanna for enlightening me on the process of this photo shoot. I wasn’t actually serious about being “pissed or flattered.” My blog is just trying to be entertaining. Sometimes I like to think my ideas are original when they clearly are not. Here is a list of other things that I thought I came up with first:
1. The plot for Tim Allen’s “Jungle 2 Jungle”
2. Macaroni and Cheese Bar Restaurant
3. The concept for Destiny Child “Say My Name” music video
4. Instagram minus the filters &
5. The format of the Chelsea Handler Show.
