Maegan Waldrip: Sweet Home, Arkansas

This past weekend my mom and I spent Friday evening and Saturday morning addressing all of our save-the-dates! I addressed as she stuffed and stamped. It was a great time to be together and talk all things wedding and life in general. She is pretty wise so I always love soaking up her wisdom. Oh, and shout out to Dale Benfield of Benfield Photography for our adorable save-the-dates.

You may be wondering about the title of todays blog so let me explain. Before Nathan and I were even engaged we were traveling to White Hall one weekend and to avoid the construction traffic coming out of Little Rock we got off the interstate and took the “old highway” until we could get past the traffic. During this little journey we found a town called Sweet Home. Immediately, we both said “Ah, Sweet Home, Arkansas. That is pretty cool!” So, in my mind I thought to myself when/if we ever get engaged I am mailing all things wedding from Sweet Home. And I have done just that! Mom and I moseyed up to Sweet Home this past weekend and mailed the save-the-dates (add one more check mark on the “to-do” list). May seem crazy to some but being detailed oriented myself I wanted our postmark to say Sweet Home, Arkansas.

Once we were engaged, Nathan and I began discussing vendors, etc. and we decided we wanted all of our vendors to be from Arkansas and we wanted as many as possible to be small businesses. Both of us grew up living in and learning the ways of small businesses because of our families so we wanted to be able to give back to the community of Arkansas small businesses. I know you are probably thinking is that even possible?! Yes! Yes, it is! If you keep coming back to read you will learn of all the small business vendors we are using.

Pretty much Sweet Home, Arkansas was the cherry on top to our theme for our wedding! All things Arkansas and it sure is sweet!
