Image
Hi everyone! We're back! We've been completely consumed by Spring Wedding Season around here and our blogging has fallen behind.....BUT - we can't wait to pick right up where we left off!

Guest Buttons & Escort Cards

Image
I came across this idea for your wedding guests and literally laughed out loud! I love it - personalized buttons for each guest, complete with a cute description or fun fact! via Style Me Pretty Quite the undertaking with a big guest count, but if you're having a more intimate affair, it'd be completely doable! Talk about a way for your guests to get to know one and other - It's a perfect icebreaker. Plus, I feel like it's a great, tongue-in-cheek, but meaningful way to show guests that they are special to you and you're happy they came. Attach a little tag to the back pin with their table number and you're set for escort cards as well! What do you think? Could you think of a fun tagline for each of your attendees? Challenge accepted!

Patterned Bridesmaid Dresses

Image
There are so many different options for your ladies these days! Way beyond the standard taffeta, solid colors and big bows - brides are branching out all over the place! I'm sure you've seen the ombre' effect for your maids, and you've definitely seen the different dresses each in the same shades. Have you considered patterns though?! via Style Me Pretty I am loving these stripes! (especially with the pops of color on the shoes!!) It's super elegant with a twist! via That Weird Fashion Girl Isn't this floral gown stunning?! I kinda feel like a bouquet would be overkill here...she would look beautiful walking down the aisle with a gorgeous clutch (as pictured) or maybe with a candle or pretty lantern? Or for an outdoor ceremony - a parasol?! via The Polka Dot Bride The bride herself jumped on the pattern train here! That's right - the bride is the one in the floral gown with her ladies in solid complimentary colors - how different and special! We've been ...

City Map Seating Chart

Image
My favorite weddings are the ones that incorporate special touches about the couple and what makes their love story unique. I love it when guests get to learn more about the bride & groom! Whether it's as simple as some childhood pictures, a sign with their love story, or table names with meaningful things on them, all of these details make the day that much more intimate. I saw this and thought it was a really neat way to add that personal touch every wedding needs! via Bridal Musings This couple used a city map as their seating chart for guests! Each table was named after a different location in Paris and guests found their names and found their seats. You could use your home town, the city you met, where you got engaged....the possibilities abound! Speaking from my Gator side - I think doing this with a map of the University of Florida campus would be Gatortastic! You could use your dorms, classes you had together, special campus landmarks...fun, right? (Obviously I'm bi...

Paper Cut Boutonniere

Image
Not everyone loves the look of traditional boutonnieres. Maybe you're looking for something a little more on the modern side for those special guys in your wedding? I came across this picture and thought it was such a different and fun idea! via  Brooklyn Bride It's still romantic and whimsical (as all good boutonnieres should be), but it's sleek and modern with a fun twist at the same time! Literally, ANY color, pattern, texture is open to you. I'd use the heaviest card stock that I could find to help it keep its shape throughout the day (and all those hugs). You can pick any flower silhouette you like. Plus it's light! If your groomsmen will be rocking the suspenders or vest only look (or maybe even just a dress shirt and tie?) you'll need boutonnieres that are as light weight as possible. Traditional boutonnieres just are typically too heavy to stay upright without using a bunch of pins, which gets uncomfortable.  This would be the perfect solution! For the f...

Top-Secret Ceremony Programs

Image
So, I thought this was the perfect follow-up to Allison and Shivan's Superhero Wedding on Monday - Decoder Top-Secret Ceremony Programs! via The Offbeat Bride The programs were in folders stamped "Top-Secret" and came with special decoder glasses for guests! How crazy fun is that?! You know how much I love the unique take on a tradition! What do you think?
