We took a little trip to the South back in April for our friends, Grace and Aaron's, wedding. And even though I can't share pictures of the wedding, because it will be featured in the next Martha Stewart's Weddings magazine (totally worth the wait!), I can share one neat idea they did for their out-of-town guests.

The wedding took place in Savannah — a place with lots of beauty and interesting dark history. Our friends booked a trolley tour for all of us out-of-town guests to enjoy the morning before the wedding. My hubby and I usually prefer exploring new places by asking the locals and doing a lot of walking, but this tour was a fantastic gift that we will never forget. Not only were we able to see the majority of the historic town squares — which surely would have resulted in many blisters and maybe even an argument or two had we tried on to do it by foot — but we learned so much more about Savannah's history from our very funny trolley driver/guide. What a fun way to have your guests mingle before they see each other on the dance floor!

I have way too many pictures, but here are some highlights of the tour. Enjoy!!

“Hi y'all!!”

How perfect…

The smallest house built in Savannah — and it is for sale!!

divine…

As a textile designer, my head spins when I see places like this church. But you don't have to be an artist to appreciate all the beautiful details on the walls and stained-glass windows — it's all so very inspiring.

Grace and Aaron also had everyone (whoever was up for it) join the wedding party for drinks after the rehearsal dinner. This is always a good idea, regardless of whether you have a destination or backyard wedding. Your friends and family want to be involved in your special day, and they want to see and visit with you, which is not always possible on the day of the wedding. Wedding preparations can get very hectic, especially on the day before the event, but it's important to spend quality time with the people that love you.

Thank you Grace and Aaron!!
