Horseshoes & escort cards -- this pretty sign directed guests to find their names and seats.

Stumbled upon this wedding on photographer Tec Petaja’s blog. Held last fall in Colorado, we love DIY approach and the loose theme of hearts and the word “love” used throughout via stamps for the extras at the wedding.

The bride, a Weddingbee blogger and magazine editor is definitely a creative type and I love that she embraced a symbol that’s so deeply tied to folk art for her ranch setting.

By keeping it simple and not overusing the image, this is the perfect example of how hearts can be used beautifully and creatively without the tacky factor. These gifts and labels just make you smile when you look at them.
