My to-do list is not getting any shorter, so I am super happy to get to share another guest post for you today while I am busy wading my way through boxes! Get ready for some lovely eye-candy!
Hello! I’m Sarah from the wedding blog, A Paper Proposal | Inspired Weddings, and I’m so excited to be a guest on Wedding Pickle today! Like most wedding bloggers, I am a romantic at heart, so when I was contemplating what to write about today, I thought it would be fun to showcase the many, many beautiful ways to say, “I love you.” Whether you say it on paper with poetry, handwritten notes or even paint chips, or with gifts of flowers, hammered spoons or jewelry, there really is no more meaningful an addition to your wedding day.
While I think it’s up to you to decide if you want to do a private “first look” or not before your wedding ceremony, I will always encourage you to exchange a little love letter or gift with your partner right before you walk down the aisle. The morning leading up to the ceremony can be crazy. You’re worried about how your veil looks in your hair, where the flower girl’s shoes are and whether or not the centerpieces have been set up properly. Taking that minute or two to reflect on your feelings and relationship with your partner puts things into perspective right before you say, “I do”. My husband and I wrote notes to one another to exchange and read before the ceremony, and while it was nothing fancy, reading his note was one of the most special moments of my day. I get to keep it forever, too! Taking a private moment or two to read his words soothed my nerves and made me even MORE excited to see him at the end of the aisle! It reminded me of what I was really there to do that day – to marry the man I loved.
So say it in lights, with your very own red “love bug,” in red tissue paper or with a single red rose…just remember to make your wedding day about L.O.V.E !!!

The Perfect Palette
Precious post! We did exchange notes on our wedding day and it's the only moment I got choked up all weekend. I still have his letter and plan to display it somehow in our home.
LOVE this! Those stairs are so fabulous! Good luck with all the joys of moving! I know it can be a major pain but it always feel so amazing once you finally get everything organized and feeling like home again!
This is so adorable! ROMANTIC ROMANTIC ROMANTIC! <3
Beautiful! The white and red palette makes me smile :)
We also exchanged notes (before our first look) and even though I had a room full of friends, family, photographers and a glam squad staring at me as I read it, it was still one of the most intimate moments of the day!
I love this!!! You have such a great eye Sarah. And those stairs are fantastic. I sing that song to my dogs all the time, haha. Mostly because I find myself saying "hello" directly followed by "I love you" so then the song follows. He he.
I really loved this post, it is so inspiring and I am so envy of it. I hope someday my partner will give me a spoon like the picture above. So much like it./
Romantic posts!I'm very touched with these DIY ideas.
