{Florals} A Little DIY Tablescape Inspiration

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

The fantastic Kia Gregory sent over some images of a little DIY tablescape she did on a whim after picking some gorgeous wildflowers the other day. Now talk about inspiration central!

This whole vintage look is so simple, elegant and just all around amazing. Adding a touch of lace to the table and those chic mirrors (not those ugly ones that come with most venues) definitely sets the tone of the overall vintage centerpiece we’ve got on our hands.

Such a great addition, those teacups are fantastic!

Now that’s what I call table love right here!

Check out Kia Gregory for more gorgeous inspiration!

{Real Wedding} David and Sarah By Picotte Photography

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

You have heard my singing my praises about Picotte Photography in past posts, and you’re bound to hear it again. I love the style and the romance she adds to her photography and this wedding is no different.

Meet David and Sarah-the use of many different types and colors of flowers is just amazing. I love how they decided to keep everything clean and classic looking by adding clear vases and lots of different whimsical flowers.

This looked like one heck of a wedding! Thanks to David and Sarah for letting me show it off here, and thanks to Picotte Photography for yet another fantastic wedding.

Part 2: Vintage Wedding in my Potential Venue!

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Ok here is part two of the amazing wedding. Again, this is the venue I am planning to use so it is great to see that someone has actually done a fantastic wedding here!

Just so that everyone doesn’t think I am crazy for being majorly indecisive on this space :), here is the update. I am taking the moms to see the place on Sunday. At this point, unless they point out any insanely major issues, I am going to book it. I do have a few cons keeping me from instant love, the first being the homemade food. I actually have no doubt in my mind that it will turn out to be 100% incredible, but it is the stress of getting to that point that is really killing me. It is obviously just a lot of work.

The other major concern is that the space is just not a wedding set-up. In a way I actually really like that because I hate a lot of cookie cutter wedding venues, but at the same time it takes lots more creativity and pulling in different elements to ensure the space is how it is supposed to be. I am definitely very excited to work with the non-traditional aspect, but in times of wedding inspiration-block, I am nervous that I won’t know where to put anything! Oh my. That probably won’t be the case, but I guess it is worth freaking out about.

SOOO CUTE on the food right! Love the way they did this.

OMG! I am sooo doing milk like this..I am in love :)

One thing I love about this space is the very versatile photography spots! There are so many different places which are all totally different styles. I think that will make for some great diversity!

This is the outside of the building. Not something we would be seeing from the seating in the reception.

OK all, I could REALLY use the help and feedback! What are your thoughts? Cute, not cute, keep looking, do something in particular?? I can’t believe I might actually have a full venue booked in the next week. YAY

Vintage and Detailed Wedding (In my potential venue!)

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

I wanted to show off this wedding because it is at the venue I plan on doing mine in! :) I basically googled the venue and searched for images so I could see what other people did, how the space was set up, etc. This completely helped me decide because I could really visualize how it could actually work!

They really wanted a backyard feel to their wedding which they definitely accomplished from the DIY food, to the DIY decor. Everything was made by them from start to finish! This is pretty much what I want to do, so it’s great to see that someone else has accomplished that and gotten published! (This wedding was featured on Ruffled.)

You can’t see too many pictures of the space itself, but what do you think about it?? I would definitely love to hear thoughts, ideas of what I can do with it, etc!

Love the entrance way! I also wanted to hang lanterns which this place is literally perfect for.

Ok, that is just part 1! You can sort of see the space a little in terms of the colors, the nature, the brick etc. It’s all very pretty, and it makes it even better that this wedding is beyond gorgeous!

Lovely Florals and Reusable Vases

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Reusing most of my wedding decor is something I really really want to do! After the wedding I would love to have a ton of really pretty things to put in my home. I won’t have to throw stuff away or try tocsell it or anything! Sounds like a good idea to me.

Ok now onto what I was actually talking about, I love the idea of mason jars and pitchers. I have always loved this sort of look for the flowers and in these vases it’s even better!

Maybe these can even be around like on the cake table, sign in table, etc.

What are you doing for centerpieces??

Florals To Start Your Day Off Right

Friday, May 28th, 2010

To start out the day, I will show off a beautiful bouquet! Of course this photo by The Nichols is stunning in itself, but I’d like to focus your attention to that bouquet for just a moment. I want white, and I want pops of color! So doesn’t that seem like the perfect balance of both?

However, here is another idea that I love….and it is pretty much the exact opposite! Bright colored bouquets! I think that is going to be my main problem when planning, it’s hard to decide on just one theme! Whatever I do, those little yellow balls will be in my bouquets, I’m pretty much obsessed with those!

What are you looking at for your florals??? Anything particular that you are obsessed with??

What are you looking at for your florals??? Anything particular that you are obsessed with?? Which should I go with, white with pops or lots of bold colors?

Fab Florals – Rananculus

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I am a major fan of wild flowers, especially when it comes to the wedding. I am not one for a bouquet of perfectly set roses, I want my flowers to have a bit of character. Flowers like rananculus and peonies are definitely on my list of favorites and definitely someone I plan to add to centerpieces.

Dose of Gorgeous

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Just a dose of gorgeous for you today!

PS-I am beyond obsessed with that bridal gown AND amazing necklace! I love it!

Wild Ones

Monday, January 25th, 2010

There are two things I love, using everyday things to create a unique wedding experience, and things with character as opposed to perfection.

Garden flowers are quite pretty and add great character where ever used. These types of flowers offer rich colors and imperfect arrangement, gorgeous. These types of flowers fit into my color scheme and portray the “Spring” theme quite well.

Onto the next thing I love, using everyday things to create a unique wedding experience. To me, this is my favorite of anything you can do for your wedding. For one thing, you don’t have to end up with tons of decor items after the wedding if you improvise and find things that you can definitely use after (lighting, containers, picture frames, etc. Look forward to more posts on my new everyday finds) Secondly, the unique ideas added to your wedding, the things that define you as a couple, are the things that make your wedding special.

So, how do I plan to incorporate a “tea” jar and some wild flowers? One idea is to get 10 of those jars each marked with a different things and make each the centerpiece. Instead of table numbers, the tables would be labeled “tea” and “coffee” etc.

The other idea is to add those labeled jars to the outer areas of the wedding as decor. Placing them on bar tables during cocktail hour, on the cake table, at the bar, etc. A personal touch without too much focus on it is definitely the way to go!

What personal touches are you adding?
