Bluegrass Band

My Inspiration:
While enjoying a bluegrass band at Ole Smoky Moonshine distillery in Tennessee I was inspired to share an idea with you. Hiring a bluegrass band for your cocktail hour or to play during your entire reception would certainly be a way to put your own personalized stamp on your wedding. Accompany the band with a bon-fire, smores, and small jars of moonshine, given as favors at the end of the night, would create quite the night to remember.

Gem Stones

My Inspiration:
The soft pastel colors of these gem stones give me thoughts of flower crowns and dreamy candles but also give me an idea for jazzing up your escort card table. Instead of just setting the paper escort cards out alone on a table you could pair them with a geode or gem stone. If you take it one step further the color of the stone could signify the type of meal your guests each ordered on their reply card so the wait staff can easily identify where specific meals go on each table. You could also place candles into  glass containers with small geodes, stones, and faux gem stones surrounding them on each table as centerpieces to pull the whole theme together.

Relaxed Bachelorette Party

My Inspiration:
If you're not feeling in love with traditional bachelorette party ideas and would like something a little more low key for you and your ladies to enjoy I have an idea. Try checking out a historical or artsy town close enough for a day or weekend trip. There will likely be many exciting things to schedule and encounter in a town that has a relaxed small town America feel over a big city with a high energy vibe. Pictured is scenic Gettysburg (overlooking the historic Devil's Den) and a great place to plan an chill adventure to. There are great restaurants and lodging, nightly ghost tours, historical sites to explore, and a quaint little town to keep you entertained all day with unique shopping experiences.

Color Strips

My Inspiration:
This small bird and birdhouse were created using color strips at a Sherwin Williams paint store. If you are having a hard time choosing your wedding colors consider going to a home improvement store to check out what colors work well together in the paint swatch aisle and maybe get some later inspiration for the new nest you and your soon to be husband will be creating too.
