Happy Friday - since I'm taking off for the day and headed to breakfast with the family to watch the horses warm up at the race track, I thought it would be fitting to share a few horse themed wedding invitations with you. These are perfect for your wedding in the country or a rustic wedding. There's even a Kentucky Derby themed bridal shower invitation which I love along with a cowgirl bridal shower invitation. Which one{s} are you loving?

Today's couple, Sara and David married on a European cruise surrounded by a few family members and close friends. While they did have a photographer on board, once they came back home, they realized they didn't have enough photos of them together and wanted to capture more. So, they contacted Arina B Photography and headed to the farm where they were surrounded by the most amazing white horse, dogs, cows, lots of hay and sunshine. Arina writes . . . "For me as a photographer, the Day After session or Trash the dress session is the happiest of all, simply because I get to take photos of a beautiful bride and groom without wedding rush, stress and time line. This session makes a perfect anniversary present as well. Couples get to refresh their sweet wedding memories and capture more photos of that gorgeous dress the bride is no longer afraid to get dirty!"

Not sure if my readers are familiar with Magnolia Rouge, but Kate is a super talented lady that not only has a daily wedding blog herself {with inspiration boards that I fall in love with each time a new one posts}, but she also designs gorgeous wedding invitations suites along with the Magnolia Rouge Magazine. Today I am sharing one of my most recent favorite inspiration boards from Kate as not only does it show the beauty of designing a wedding around nature, but I see a horse. My 6 year old daughter is in LOVE with horses and I can just see her wanting her photo taken with a horse in her wedding gown {when that day comes - a loooooong time from now}. But, for today, I have some gorgeous photos of brides with horses to share with you after you see Kate's lovely inspiration board. {you can find the original post with image credits here}
