Where Do I Sit?

Are you looking for a creative detail to add to your reception that also saves a little money? I’ve got just the idea for you! I am always a fan of unique, creative wedding details that makes your wedding stand out and that wow your guests. I think it is about time to say goodbye to those silly white escort cards with fancy script! They are pricey and often get lost in the mix and commotion of the wedding. Instead, make escort cards fun and creative… Hey, you can even combine them to be souvenirs for your guests! There are so many options for unique escort cards- find something that matches your decor and theme. Here are some images to get you brainstorming! Happy planning!

Hues You’ll Heart: Periwinkle

Periwinkle is a sweet color that is not quite lavender or purple. It’s a perfect shade in between. This soft color adds a feminine and delicate touch to any wedding. I love when periwinkle is paired with white, like the white peonies and white baby breath shown below. This pretty periwinkle palette is great for any spring wedding!

Too Cute Teacups!

A unique way to add something creative to your wedding is to use teacups as decorations. Antique teacups can be used to create a vintage feel to the wedding. If the bride has teacups of sentimental value, then that is a great way to incorporate meaning into the wedding. Places like Etsy and Anthropologie have all sorts of teacups for any taste and any occasion! I think teacups add such a cute, feminine feel to the wedding. I love the DIY candle teacups as bridesmaid favors, and of course I love the cupcakes in teacups… too cute! Using teacups in the wedding adds a creative and personal touch to any kind of wedding!

Part Two: Austin Hacienda de Hippie Wedding

After that gorgeous ceremony, I know you are thinking it can’t get better. But it can & it does! Since no wedding day is perfect, Jordan and Chad’s cocktail hour was bombarded by a Texas thunderstorm! Plans called for a seated dinner on the lawn, and dancing all night in the event center but the rain swept in and changed everything!

True to her southwestern fashion, Jordan changed her hair accessory and into turquoise cowboy boots! She was seated at a sweetheart table with her new hubby that was adorned with yarn covered candle holders, small cactuses, and bright votive holders.

The most incredible aspect of the reception were the huge paper flowers created by hand- each one took over two hours! Can you believe that DIY dedication? With the help of Misty Duncan, Jordan made the fabric & flower chandelier over the dance floor (incredible), the turquoise antlers, the Perfect Blend coffee favors (a great idea for coffee lovers!) & the entire coffee bar! I know all of you will go crazy for this beautiful wedding with the incredible DIY elements.
