Walk down the aisle Newport style ...

One of my closest friends is getting married this summer and asked for my help in planning. She wants an outdoor reception a la Jackie Kennedy ... well, who wouldn't?!!! So, in my quest for new ideas and inspirational sources for putting on such a soiree, I came across Newport Event Planner Nancy Swiezy's blog www.anewportaffaire.blogspot.com.

With bits of inspiration - old and new - 

and great tips and advice for any type of party, 

you won't want to miss out on this one!

With all these new ideas, the wedding's going to be a blast! Until now, the only thing I had down was the gift for the groomsmen ... Nautical Monogram Note Cards, available at http://www.muffywritesanote.com/Everyday-Occasions/Personal-Stationery/Nautical-Monogram-Note-Card-p171.html
