schoolyard crush

Welcome to September...we sure are looking forward to the Fall! LOVE this wedding...inspired by the sweet little nostalgic details and the story behind the couple who have known each other since elementary school.

The wedding is of Minhee & Truman who own the fabulous Paper + Cup design studio. Their wedding was featured a few years ago in Martha Stewart Weddings. Naturally, all of the amazing stationary and details were by Paper + Cup. Enjoy!
