On our third day of Christmas we have 10 stunning bouquets. Flowers can really make or break your wedding pictures. These are some of our favorites from this year. As photographers Nat and I love color. We think bold flowers really go the extra mile in making beautiful wedding pictures.

So today is a special day. First of all because it’s Nat’s Birthday. Any guesses as to how old? Second because it’s the first day of the twelve days of Christmas. Last year we got a lot of great feedback from our ‘best of’ posts at the end of the year, so we decided do some more. This time it will be over the 12 days of Christmas.

We have so many great wedding photos from this year that we want to share some of our favorites and also highlight some the things that made the year so special. We’re doing them in reverse, so to start off here are 12 of our favorite favors from this year. These are just some of the ones that stood out to us and listed in no particular order. (And if your favor was food then I probably ate it before I got the picture taken… oops)

From Chelsea & Jared’s Wedding mints to match their colors, Nat loves them because they’re mini, and she likes anything mini.
