DIY Silk Flowers

Founds at Go Make Me

I have for years now, wanted to make my own silk or fabric flowers, and I saw this easy tutorial and thought, how fun and personal would it be to make a flower girl head band, or some flowers for accents on decor.... the opportunities are endless.

Succulents in a Wedding Bouquet

Found on Style Me Pretty's Pinterest Page

It's been a year and I am still in love with Succulents being used in wedding bouquets, centerpieces, decor, boutonnieres.

Just love it!

You? Am I alone?

Moroccan Wedding

Love this, found at Wedding Illustrated

One of my favorite brides, Kaycee, loved Ranunculus (she called them the swirly flowers) as much as I do, and I saw this, and totally thought of her!

How fun is this Moroccan wedding, with bold colors, and super gorg details! I love how the fruit and flowers create such a statement, and look so fun and elegant at the same time.

Milk Glass Florals

Hi, My Name is Melissa and I have an obsession (slightly unhealthy) with Milk Glass.

I am pretty sure that given the opportunity, I'd hoard.

I think this is an affordable and gorgeous way to have faux Milk Glass for centerpieces (by spray painting random jars with a white matte finish paint on the outside)

It absolutely makes the bloom's color pop!

What do you think? A winner?

Flowers and Flip Flops

I love a florist who can create this and totally change a room.

But when that same florist can totally find their fun and creative  side and make these awesometastic flip flops!!! I love these, could totally see them for a beach reception cocktail tables, or rehearsal dinner on the beach, right?

 

The Plant Shoppe is so talented, and so creative, I love Betsy and her staff! Seriously, can do anything you can dream of!

Pearl Wrislet Corsage

Source for Awesometastic Idea

About a year ago we did a wedding where the florist created these gorgeous wrist corsages and used pearl braclets instead of elastic. I thought it was genius...

Is it just me or do you just love this idea too?

Football Vase

Hostess with the Mostess

I cannot tell a lie, it's football season around here, and we go a bit overboard around our house.

So when I saw these adorable centerpieces I thought, hmph, I could do this...

Plus, I think if you really wanted to, you could totally use these as a cocktail table arrangements for your wedding. You'd score, big points with your fiance... Big Points... get it, points... game - nevermind.

Family on your Bouquet

Photography By: Morgan Matters Photography

We are always looking for beautiful ways to incorporate your family (either those no longer with us, or your entire family) into your wedding, and I love this idea of carrying small photographs tied into your bouquet!

Just so sweet, and really something that can be passed on to your family for future weddings.I saw this on MasterPiece Weddings Blog, a few weeks ago, and I knew I just had to share it.

Did you do something awesometastic to tie in your families wedding in yours?

Make an Entrance

Outdoor weddings can have some drawn out walks since the holding area may be far away from the alter, but making a special doorway for the wedding party's entrance or even just the brides entrance makes for a super cool addition to outdoor wedding decor!

And you could use it for a photobooth frame during your reception, we sort of love this idea.

Who wants to build me one of these?

Gray Tutu

The Best Wedding Recpetion Ever

We saw this and totally thought it was adorable, you know I have an affinity for Tutu's and cute kids, so this sort of captured my heart!

Totally adorable!

Chevron Cake

This cake is so elegant and fun, we love the soft delicate florals and the Chevron pattern. You could totally use this for any kind of chic and awesometastic gathering.

And the chevron pattern is HUGE right now, we prefer it on cakes rather than sweaters.

Agree?

Wedding cake with Initials

The initials of the bride and groom completely tie together this cake and balance the flowers with a little bit of metallic edge.

Love the fleur de lis at the bottom of the cake!

Do you think the letters would look better as gold or silver instead of bronze? Of or maybe wood? I feel like this could used so may ways, and not on top is a great change up from the norm!

Like? Love? You tell me!



Party Ideas: Buffet

We were trying to think of a fun, modern, and gardeny way to jazz up a table at an outdoor rehearsal dinner or brunch, and found this!

What a cool way to brighten up a party buffet table instead of using a tablecloth! Simple and fresh, can't go wrong with that kind of decor.

Southern Living

What type of flowers would you use in this display?

Love it? Hate it? We want to know!

Southern Flair: Mason Jars

We love Mason Jars! We love them hanging, standing, and filled with jam! (and who has two thumbs and loves jam... this girl!)

It's no secret that Mason jars are the biggest wedding trend right now, but they can be used in so many different and pretty ways, who cares if it's trendy?

What are some other awesometastic ways you've seen mason jars used?

Pinterest Wedding Decor

Are you looking for decor ideas for your wedding and you aren't sure if you want something outside, inside, on the beach, in a church.

I have a friend that is currently obsessed with sheer draping and chandeliers.

This is a seriously, fabulous find! I love the light, the tone on tone, the romance, the rose petals, it just screams, GET MARRIED UNDER ME!

Am I right?

What is your current obsession?

Outdoor Inspired Centerpieces

Flowers are one of my favorite parts of weddings, they are just so absolutely gorgeous! Some of the centerpieces that people display at their tables are so amazing-sometimes it's hard not to grab them and run!

These nature-inspired centerpieces we found on Better Home & Gardens that were too gorgeous not to share!

Can you believe these are vegetables?!?

What a great idea for something as simple as a brown paper bag! This beats the lunch I used to put in mine! 

What do you guys think about these arrangements?

Mason Flower Jars

Mason Jars are great for just about everything when it comes to creative decorating, and these hanging flower jars put together by FiftyFlowers are no exception!

These are SO perfect, especially for any outdoor wedding!

Picture this: you're walking down a pathway lined with these adorable flower jars hanging from rows of shepherds hooks....I know-perfect right?!?

What do you guys think??

Baby's Breath Bouquet

Sometimes the best things in life are those that are a bit underrated. For example-baby's breath flowers oftentimes make a floral arrangement, but rarely get acknowledged. In this case Intimate Weddings showed us that these tiny flowers can be the centerpiece, and are they gorgeous or what?

This gorgeous series of bouquets would be so perfect for any Winter Wonderland ceremony or even a delicate, chic wedding!

How perfect would these be for a rustic or outdoor themed ceremony?!?

Holiday Lanterns

As it is officially December, it is officially the holiday season and one of my favorite times of the year!

The holidays mean cold weather, cute boots, and lots of hot chocolate (with the little marshmallows, of course!)

If you plan on having your wedding during this joyful time of year, there are some great ways to incorporate some holiday staples into your ceremony!

These centerpieces we found at Pottery Barn are a gorgeous addition for any reception table or to add into your engagement party!

These lanterns can be used in so many different ways and add such a rustic touch! 

How would you incorporate these?

Decor: Pom poms

Everyone wants their wedding to be unique. The best way to create a wedding that is different is through the decorations of course. These adorable tissue paper pom poms from Pom Love at Etsy are a fantastic way to make a wedding your own! You can mix them in with your flowers or even use them as a replacement for flowers or Japanese Lanterns!

They come in different patterns and just about every color you could imagine. Take a looksie.

The best part about these darling decorations is that they are made from 100% recycled paper! How eco-friendly!
