Decor Highlight: Unique Alters, a true representation of the couple

These days, there are absolutely no rules in how you should get married. Back in the old days, the wedding festivity world was very cliche. But today, it is more than okay to step 100% out of the box. In fact, in today’s wedding world stepping way out of the box is what makes your event all the more fabulous and tasteful. One element of weddings that is usually kept traditional still are alters. Some brides do step it up and truly make their alters a sincere representation of the groom and bride though. Here are some of our favorite unique alters!

Daily Inspiration: Orange Creamsicle and Turquoise Dream

Bold colors are thought to be too risky for brides. But, the truth is that if paired correctly…two bold colors can make a huge RIGHT as long as they have chemistry together. Interestingly enough, usually when pairing bold colors together, the best combinations are of totally opposing colors. Here is one of our favorite examples…turquoise and orange. They couldn’t be more opposite from one another, yet they look absolutely amazing together. So, go on and take a chance with your event’s colors. It could very well be the best risk you have ever taken in your life :)

Daily Inspiration: Girly Rockstar Wedding

 

Are you a girly girl, but with an edge? Pink and black are probably the perfect blend of colors for your event’s color scheme! If you want more of edge you can blend a fuchsia pink with black, or if you want to bring out more of the classy appeal, do light pink with black. Of course, your accent color would be white to neutralize it all. These two colors are the best mixture of chic, classiness, sexiness, and girlyness.

Decor Highlight: Table Linen Haven…the heart of your reception

Table Linens are crucial to your event’s decor. Many brides take table linens for granted and simply choose white or plain colored linens.  But, your reception will be a thousand times more beautiful and memorable with textured or patterned table linens. It helps tie your theme and/or color scheme together as one solid masterpiece. If you want to stick with plain colored table linens to save on money, you can choose to vamp it up with overlays instead. When doing overlays instead, textured and sheer are usually the best option.

 

Daily Inspiration: Great Gatsby Wedding

 

Very soon the new Great Gatsby film will be hitting theaters! We recently saw the trailer and it is magical. So much luxury, romance, mystery, and soft yet intense color tones. A Great Gatsby Wedding is a great theme to do for a Spring or Summer wedding. If it is an outdoor event you prefer, you can focus more on the whimsical garden aspect of the film. But, if you are doing the bulk of your event indoors, focus on a venue that has breathtaking chandeliers, and a dark oak facade. Lavender and Sage are some amazing accent colors for this theme. The majority of your event should be ivory and whites to give it that vintage feel. The accent colors will bring it all together of course. Accessories for your decor should either center around vintage would pieces, or fine silvers. It all depends on how lavish, or how cozy you want your event to look.

Daily Inspiration: Just Peachy Event

One of the most under rated colors for weddings is peach. It has got to be one of the most romantic colors to have at a wedding! It’s soft, not too girly, and very classic. It encompasses a beauty factor that cannot be explained verbally….only visually. Some great accent colors to accompany your peach color are mint, ivory, white, or tan. A peach wedding will be such a romantic hit on your day, that all couples invited will want to run out and renew their vows.

Decor Highlight: Mason Jar Craze

Remember those jars grandma used to store fruits, veggies, and make jam in? Well, those jars…mason jars, are the big craze now. They are very inexpensive, and can truly be one of the most beautiful and darling accents at your event. Mason jars are quite simple, but what makes them truly special is how versatile they are. You can do almost anything with them when it comes to event decor. You can hang them in trees with tea lights for a whimsical appeal, dress them in lace for a vintage appeal, or even make them into a romantic and timeless chandelier! These are just some of thousands of ways you can incorporate these humble lil’ jars into your event. The options are endless!
