Backyard Wedding

My Inspiration:

Are you having a back yard picnic style wedding at your house or parent's house? If you are you have freedom to do what you would like in regards to providing alcohol, although we do suggest event insurance in this scenario. Ask your guests to bring a bottle of wine or specialty beer that they would like to share. Create a sharing table full of ice filled galvanized buckets and coolers for them to place their shared wine and beer into. This is a great way to save money on alcohol and to encourage your guests to try something new. Consider offering smaller cocktail cups and plastic shot glasses, in the colors of your wedding, for people to try smaller portions before taking a whole cup of an item. Cheers!

Evergreen Winter Decor

My Inspiration:

Evergreens make me think of candle-lit romantic tables covered in rich jewel tones. I used natural wood pillar holders topped with battery operated flicker candles and small glass bowls filled with stones and moss to complete these wintery evergreen table runner tablescapes. Wood charger plates, glassware, battery operated fairy lights could also be added to tables to further finish the look.

Paper Flowers

My Inspiration:

After attending each flower show I always feel inspired. Surprisingly it wasn't the real flowers that had me inspired to share this time. These paper book page flowers mixed in with real flowers would be so much fun for a book loving bride or couple to incorporate into their wedding bouquets and boutonnieres. Another thought...Have guests sign the pages and then have the pages strategically made into flowers after your wedding so you can display them in your house.

Airplanes

 

 

My Inspiration:

Museums are always inspirational to me. The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum ignited whimsical thoughts about arriving in an prop plane or having one on site for photos at a wedding. This would be especially fun if either of the people in the couple were involved with these types of things for their job or had a particularly strong interest in them. Another thought that can to mind was using an airplane hanger as your wedding venue. That would certainly be unique and have your guests talking for quite some time afterwards!
