Trend Alert! Guest Books to Remember

The trend of DIY weddings are popping up everywhere, and brides are putting more personal touches on their wedding. Guest books are a great way to put that special, unique touch on your big day. Instead of the traditional white guest book, have a little fun and create a guest book to remember. The guest book is often one of the very first things that guests see at a wedding or reception. Set the tone of the entire event with a guest book to remember. What is better than guests walking into a ceremony or reception with a big “WOW!” Instead of just signing their name, have guests give the bride and groom advice, take a picture, put their thumbprint, or write a little message! Unique guest books not only serve as a beautiful addition to the decor, but they also serve as a great conversation starter. So have at it!  Put that fun finishing touch on your reception! This is your big day. Make it one to remember and let your guest book serve as a way to look back on your big day and smile!

A Few of My Pinterest Favorites!

We haven’t talked about Pinterest in a while, folks. So here are a few of my favorites on this beautiful Thursday afternoon! I am loving a large flowing train, rosette details, and detailed lace. How cool is that lace skull pattern? I’m also loving the look of sleeves- it just feels so classic and romantic!

Cap Off Your Wedding Day Style With These…

Who doesn’t love shoes? No outfit is complete without the perfect pair of shoes, and this statement is true especially on your big day. With the trends of metallics, neons, stripes, and polka dots emerging in the wedding world, shoes are a great way to incorporate these trends into your wedding. I absolutely adore when brides opt for a fun, colorful pair of shoes instead of the traditional white. A trend that is expected to be hot in spring/summer 2012 is cap toe shoes, and boy do I love them! They give a little touch of classy to any color or style shoe. Celebrities are sporting them everywhere! From flats to pumps, these cap toe shoes are making their mark!

Do you have an old pair of pumps or flats that need a little spruce? Check out this DIY Cap Toe Shoes from Hits and Fits. It is so easy to do! Add color, sequins, jewels, anything really! Have fun, and let your shoes express your personality on your big day!

SATC Inspired Long Reception Tables

Ever since I saw the rehearsal dinner scene in the first Sex and the City movie, I have been head-over-heels in love with the idea of a long table wedding reception! Instead of the traditional round table, try a long, rectangular table. They give the event a modern, contemporary twist. Chandeliers, florals, and candles compliment long, rectangular tables very nicely. The intimacy, togetherness, and elegance of a long table reception is second to none. It allows for all guests to be together and be included. Long table receptions work with any wedding theme and colorway. From rustic weddings to modern weddings to destination weddings, long tables create a unique, modern foundation to the decor that I’m sure will have your wedding guests gasping. Just look at the difference a long table makes…
