Crystal had the great idea to dress the girls up in her and her mom's wedding dresses for a photo shoot for Mother's Day. It was so fun seeing the girls react to being in wedding gowns, and the style of each dress fit each girl's personality perfectly. Little E is super glamorous, so mommy's silk beaded dress brought out her princess side, and little A is free spirited, so grandma's beautiful vintage lace gown fit well with her sunny disposition (I always forget how hard she is to capture, if I wait too long to press the shutter, she's off somewhere else singing or dancing haha).

Anyway, here are some of my favorites! I can't wait to do this with my little girl some day!!

Via One of our biggest battles over at the Piggery is our chairs. When you first open a 102 year old historic venue, tables and chairs tend to be an unfortunate "back-burner" project, because building updates and projects take center stage. We HAVE tables and chairs, but they are all old mismatched cafeteria chairs in green and maroon (shudder). It got me thinking about other venues that I've been to that have horrid chairs that are hard to decorate around, so I turned to Pinterest to find some good ideas for girls who don't want to (or can't afford to!) shell out $1.25 per chair for covers. If you're lucky enough to find a venue with COOL ugly chairs that is ;)

Cool warehouse wedding (I featured this before in a post on raw wedding spaces) with mismatched chairs. I doubt these were all at the venue, but it would be cool to scour Craigslist, Freecycle or the ReStore to find some cool chairs to add in to the existing ones!

This 1980's retro wedding wedding styled shoot has some cute ideas for incorporating high school-esque chairs into your decor. Putting those chairs at the head table would be a cute and non-overwhelming way to use them in your decorations.
