Ceremony programs can be a traditional, fun, imaginative, and/or informational part of any wedding. While they certainly aren't a requirement any longer at weddings, we think they can definitely be a fun touch if there's a bit of extra room in the budget. It's a great first clue to the feel and theme of your big day and a great place to make your first impression with your guests. Traditional bi-fold programs are a quick and easy way to make programs while still remaining elegant and purposeful. This particular program twist is great for summer weddings or any wedding that expects hot weather: Photo via Intimate Weddings I really love the idea of having the bridal party's info in the wedding program! You can even add in a short description of who they are, how you met, etc. This way, all the guests know just who everyone in the party is. Here is one cool example: Via Events by Kelli Quick tip - only order a little over half the number of programs as your guest count. I ...

Rain on your wedding day is never ideal, but it's something that many couples have to be aware of, especially in Florida. If you are planning a wedding outside, we've got some tips, tricks, and even fun ideas to share with you in case it does  end up raining on your wedding day. Have a Backup Plan And be realistic about it. If your ceremony and reception are planned outside, make sure that your inside backup location is large enough to accommodate all of your guests. Be Optimistic We know that if it rains on your wedding day, it won't be exactly what you've been dreaming of, but you should always make the best of it! The real reason you're having a wedding is to marry the person you love! Did you know that rain on your wedding day is actually good luck ? It's because a wet knot is harder to untie! via Pinterest Be Prepared (In a fun way!) So maybe it rained in the morning and stopped before your outdoor ceremony, but the ground is still a bit wet and mushy. So...

I had this idea for a series on the blog...  Turns out we hear often (especially at bridal shows) "All my friends told me that I HAVE to get a wedding planner, so I know I wanted to come talk to you....but - what do you actually do ?" I get it - totally! The term "wedding planner," depending on the person using it, has morphed into many different meanings over the years. The good, TRUE, wedding planners out there know that to be a wedding planner, means being a confidant, time and money saver, point-of-contact person, detailed and positive for the bride and groom. I like to say we're "Command Central" for your wedding. And that's just in the months leading up to your big day. We're in three places at once day-of making sure everything is just right and that if any issues come up, they'll be solved before you ever need to know. So I thought, once a month, I'd write a blog with a REAL timeline from one of our past weddings (names and date...

I definitely love it when I see decorations at weddings that are both beautiful AND homemade. And an added bonus? Minimal supplies! This DIY wax paper backdrop has all three of those qualities! via StyleMePretty It might look complex, but all you need for this eye-catching backdrop is ribbon, crochet string, waxed deli sheets, a tapestry needle, and a match stick! It might take some time, but I think this project might just be worth it! So grab your girls and make s bridesmaid-bonding day out of it! via Allie Rae Photography Find the full directions here . We think it'd be beautiful behind your ceremony, sweetheart table or as your photo booth backdrop! Where would you hang this lovely DIY decor at your wedding?

Want an activity that's fun for your guests, and  is something you can keep after the wedding as a special memory? We think this is just the thing!  via Katelyn James Photography I can definitely say I've never seen something like this at a wedding before! Fill up a bunch of balloons with colorful paint, attach them to a large canvas, and give guests darts to throw at and pop the balloons. After it dries, you can take it home and hang it in your home as a fun, one-of-a-kind piece of modern art! We think these things might be self explanatory, but you never know: Make sure to do this outside in a wide open area. Make sure you keep it away from all other things wedding related. The ceremony, the reception, the cake, the dress... Make sure the darts are in a safe area and out of the reach of younger children.  Consider having some sort of barrier as a "throw from here" line so that guests don't get splashed with paint from being too close. Would you do something like...

This one's a do-it-yourself in more ways than one! If you and your spouse-to-be are planning on having some local or other specially picked craft beers at your wedding, or maybe you're brewing yourself, then this would be the perfect  way to showcase all that deliciousness!  via Sweet Little Photographs How awesome is this?! All you would need to do is put together some pallets, drill some holes for the taps, and then decorate however you like! The kegs fit right behind the bar. We love the chalkboard labels for the different beers on this rustic rendition. There's your DIY contribution! Your guests'? No bartender required for this fun beer bar!  It'd look great on a deck in your new home as well post-wedding! via Sweet Little Photographs We would love to see this at a wedding! Would you?!
