wed / how to brand your wedding part 3

So far in our How to Brand Your Wedding series, we've covered pre-wedding items such as invitations and ceremony items and now it's on to the reception, specifically dinner. Escort cards:

Place cards if you're being extra fancy! How cool are these agate slabs?

Menus at each place setting are a perfect place to get creative:

Table numbers (easily visible and legible, please):

(I actually was an intern and helped with this wedding!)

And something special to personalize the bride and groom's chairs:

Years before Pinterest, I organized my internet bookmarks by category (flowers, wedding cakes, dresses, etc). This image from Martha Stewart Weddings will always stick with me as one of my oldest favorites. Not only is the kelly green my favorite color, but the clean, fresh look is perfect for a spring or summer wedding. 

From what I can tell, this could be a DIY with an X-acto knife in just a few hours. Try grosgrain ribbon for spring/summer weddings and satin or velvet for elegant or fall/winter affairs!

wed / backyard ceremony space

I look at A LOT of weddings. Whether I’m reading blogs, scrolling through Pinterest, daydreaming about my own (not too soon, don’t get excited), or planning with my clients at work, I am constantly uncovering new ideas and images. It takes a lot to blow me away, to be honest. And then I saw this bouquet featuring my favorite color…

Which led to me to this wedding gallery on (of course) Style Me Pretty…and then to this ceremony set up…

Mind. Blown. Seriously, take the time to scroll through the whole wedding. You won’t regret it!

What a stunner of a ceremony entrance!! I love the look of the draped curtains with garlands of greenery. This could also work as the backdrop for the ceremony, the entrance to the reception, or modified as a photo booth backdrop!

Happy wedding Wednesday!

three little spaces

Hello! I apologize for the belated post today. Per my 101 in 1001 list, I am starting a new blog series called Three Little Spaces. I’m forever pinning or liking pretty gardens, cozy living areas, and dreamy bedroom and thought it would be fun to share all the little places I love. Wouldn’t it be nice to blink and be teleported to one of these?
