Mossy Green

My Inspiration:

Green! There is so much inspiration living in this moss. I love the idea of using green moss, fluffy ferns, or fragrant eucalyptus to deck out your tables in rustic elegance. Dressing your wedding party in mossy green, navy, and white will add a touch of understated sophistication to any rustic themed wedding. If your wedding ceremony is inside you can bring the outside energy in by placing moss, tall branches, and candles on both sides of the aisle. Green always adds natural vibes and a spark of life to any color palette.

Ceremony Backdrop

My Inspiration:

A backdrop can be an easy addition to dress up and personalize your ceremony decor. Although beautiful, you don't have to follow fabric draping and flowers wall trends if that's not your style. Be creative and make designing yours an adventure. You can tell your love story through the decorations you choose to use at your ceremony site. Consider painting and tying tree branches together for a natural or whimsical feel. Using found objects can make it personal and eco-friendly.

Cocktails and Seating

My Inspiration:

This bright and and lively display at a Flower Show in Philadelphia provides perfect incentive to talk about the thought of adding a themed and special seating area for guests to enjoy during cocktails or to escape to during the noisy reception activities. A decorative seating arrangement would also provide a wonderful backdrop for some Instagram worthy photos as well as posed wedding pictures.

Sing-Along

My Inspiration:

I know I am jumping out into a niche pool with this idea, but I just have to share it. This idea came to me while watching the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in Disney World. If you and your fiance are both big Disney nerds (like I am) imagine a Disney sing-along during your dinner service or a Disney karaoke session during the last hour of your reception. Most DJs have the equipment to facilitate one or both ideas. Your guests would be getting something exciting to participate in and unique to you.

Theatrical Ceremony

My Inspiration:

Going to see a ballet may not be possible at this very moment but when it was it provided great inspiration to my thoughts on ceremonies. Why not rent an unusual space like a theater to host your wedding ceremony. It would give the guests something exciting to enjoy and in this world of social distancing it would provide you with plenty of seats and room between. You could serve individual bags of popcorn to each guest as they exit with directions to the reception.

Purple Pansies

My Inspiration:

These purple pansies are an inspiration in two ways. The colors and patterns on the face of each flower are delightful and provide so much color inspiration. Can you imagine your wedding party dressed in shades of purple or in floral patterned dresses carrying yellow and white flowers? A pansy flower is edible, so you could pull that same color scheme into your wedding cake by adding pansies to the cake or cupcakes too.

Giant Games

My Inspiration:

When I stumbled across this giant chess game on the outskirts of the Powerscourt Hotel Garden (a while back) it gave me some literal inspiration. Your guests will love to play giant versions of familiar and loved games from their childhood and now. There are plenty of online sources and rental companies that offer these types of games to jazz up your cocktail hour or outside reception.

Unique Shoes

My Inspiration:

These pretty cowgirl boots made me think they would be great for a country theme or rustic barn wedding. Think of all the unique shoes types you could explore for yourself and your wedding party. Although they make a great option, don't feel like you are stuck with formal shoes when there are a plethora of fun styles to choose from. We encourage you putting your own flair on details like this!

Hot Air Balloon

My Inspiration:

It's hard not to be inspired by a hot air balloon that shows up practically in your back yard. Can you imagine showing up to your wedding ceremony in one of these or taking off in one for some pretty incredible photos after your wedding ceremony? If you really wanted to show your guests a good time offering them hot air balloon rides throughout the evening would be thrilling to many.

Ring Bearer Box

My Inspiration:

The ring bearer has forever carried the real or fake rings of the couple getting married on a satin pillow. Here is an idea to shake up tradition and give you a memento to craft. Decorate a simple box with ribbon, fabric flowers, and bling to place your ring into and have the ring bearer carry. This is a far safer way to carry the rings and you can add your own custom flair to it. A similar box can be created for the flower girl to carry to hold her petal too. Add a ribbon loop to the top and hinges to make it even easier for little ones to carry.
