I hope you all enjoyed a Merry and safe Holiday with your friends and loved ones... This year has sure flown by quickly! Now, back to the Wedding Buzz~
Came across these amazing centerpiece floral/tree arrangements at one of my favorite online stores SaveOnCrafts and I just had to share... Within the past couple of years, the manzanita tree became huge in wedding design and generally speaking they can get pretty pricy - here are a few you can create your own, or have a great base to add to, that won't cost you an arm and a leg:
As I contemplated what theme to create for an inspiration board, I was reminded of my love for all things pretty & vintage! A twist on the shade of "something blue" these blues are sure to create a clean and pretty pallet in shades of mint blue, creams, ivory, and brown (or black hues like the typewriter keys). *FIND#1* Typewriter Key Wall Art {$349 from Pottery Barn} is a great piece of inspiration for your Table Numbers & Escort Cards. My Idea is to create your own DIY Board with letters in Typewriter fonts or numbers, you can lead your guests to find their seats on the board under the alphabet letter of their last name directing them to their table number - its super cute and easy to DIY! *FIND#2* Hawaiian Based Photographer James Rubio captured such a beautiful shot of Hot Heels sitting on top of a vintage typewriter - when creating this theme you have got to incorporate a unique or vintage typewriter {I recommend searching on ebay, local garage sales, or flea markets to find yourself one for your wedding. Having guests sign in on the typewriter for the Guest Book will be a hugely creative hit}! *FIND#3* Keys & Memories Etsy Shop created this adorable bouquet body, adorned with typewriter keys {you can purchase them by clicking their link above} its a cute idea to do the initials of you and your soon to be hubby, or to have your bridesmaids initials on their individual bouquets. *FIND#4* A great gift to give your Groom on your wedding to complete your Typewriter Theme are these sweet CuffLinks {from E&H @ $100, also visit Etsy Shops for some handmade at a better price}. *FIND#5* These Mint Green book boxes create a unique decor element {from Wisteria @ $44, or do your own DIY version with stacked vintage books}. Enjoy the Typewriter Madness~
This is sure a fantastic DIY How To Video for making Wedding Boutonniere's! By doing your own boutonniere's for all of the men in your wedding party, it is a great way to save some money in your budget to put towards something more important that you want to splurge on ;) Like your fabulous wedding Gown!! Enjoy~
I just love these sweet and light shades of pink for a spring or summer wedding! Incorporating a mix of multiple pink shades adds more excitement to your color pallet - I recommend choosing two or three shades of pink and one bold color such as silver to accent it or green for example. This will allow you to carry the same shades throughout your big day while not being overwhelming with just one shade of pink. Some of my favorite trends above are using ruffles that bring back a beautiful vintage feel with ruffles, lace, and feminine feel. Using ivory or pearl accents would also romanticize this pallet; have fun with your pinks!!
Roost Rustic Wood Shelves $36.00 by Roost at Velocity Art and Design Made from colonial-era railroad ties procured from Northern India, Roost's recycled teak or other hardwood shelves have been waxed and polished to a deep sheen.
I just adore this Deep Colored Inspiration Board... It brings such a warm and romantic feel to any wedding design! Incorporating deep bold colors with chic lighting adds quite an affect; especially when it comes to making an impact on Wedding Photos. Incorporating a subtle pattern in the same color scheme helps make the wedding flow from invitations, to programs, in the wedding party's attire (for grooms and groomsmen in ties and such), to the day of ceremony and reception decor. All I can say is "Wow, I am INSPIRED"!!!
