We talk an awful lot about tying the knot around here (Duh!), but how about what happens after!? Today, we have a fabulous and cozy first wedding anniversary inspiration shoot inspired by the season of fall. I love the non-traditional palette for the season, mixed with sparkly pumpkins, delicious desserts and rustic florals. Of course, paper is the traditional first wedding anniversary gift, so Little Bit Heart stepped in with stunning paper goodies that perfectly fit the occasion!

From Little Bit Heart: Falling in love all over again was the theme of this beautiful anniversary photoshoot- what better way to celebrate your first year together than with a fall picnic for two? Live Eventfully‘s design inspiration came from her deep love for fall. Moving away from the traditional palette of greens and oranges, Kristyn created a warm and rustic moodboard: fallen leaves, brisk air and rustic woods translated into design elements like dark wood tables, muslin cloth, splashes of gold and crimson red apples.

Since paper is the traditional first anniversary gift, we created a custom anniversaryprint. Using the couple’s logo, we also created notecards and a beautiful wooden stationery box to start a tradition of exchanging handwritten love letters on each anniversary.

So cute an cozy! What are you planning for your first wedding anniversary?
