Rustic Romance

Having a rustic theme wedding? What better way to incorporate your theme by having our Personalized Burlap Wedding Ceremony Aisle Runner. Your walk down the aisle is one of the most important moments of your wedding and something you’ve fantasized about since you were a little girl. This gorgeous burlap aisle runner will be the center of your wedding ceremony and will allow you to embody both you and your partner’s personalities while being consistent with your chic rustic affair.

If you want to keep with a rustic feel why not celebrate your perfect day with a rustic countryside wedding? With the right mix of elegant, green accents and mother-nature providing the perfect backdrop of natural décor; this outdoor wedding idea will surely be an unforgettable moment. Here are a few thoughts to help achieve that rustic vibe to your countryside wedding.

Countryside weddings are nothing without incorporating mixes of old timey décor with a touch of delicate accents. Adding country elements like haystacks, hanging lantern lights and wooden touches will make a wedding look fabulous, oh and very rustic as well. We recommend adding soft pastel colors to balance out the masculine furnishing. An easy way to tie in the theme is to have you wedding by a barn. Today, rustic barn weddings are taking place all over the country and offer the bride and groom a chance to hold their wedding in a very personable and unique location. You can dress up or dress down a bran wedding to match the style and décor of your wedding and offer endless charm.

Perfect Getaway

A classic ceremony exit never goes out of style. Our Mr and Mrs German Glitter Glass Sign Banners make a memorable getaway; draped on your car to proclaim a celebration of a new life you two will embark upon. Everyone’s seen it at one time or another: sometimes a limousine, maybe a classic roadster, or even an ordinary American four-door, cruising down the highway with the words “Just Married” on the back. It’s a classic wedding image. You can do a lot more than the traditional scribbling on the back of the car. Decorating the getaway car can be a chance to get creative!

Naturally, the specifics of what you can do to decorate your romantic roadster depend slightly on style and the chosen vehicle by the bride and groom. Our glitter signs can fit any style! Put these dazzling letters on the back of your limousine or a classic car to add sophistication to your special occasion. Or use the signs on the back of a horse-drawn carriage to make a wedding getaway fit for a fairy tale.


In addition to our signs, there are other ways to dress up the getaway car. You can stick with the traditional tin cans dangling on the back of the car or tie shoes to the back bumper. In times past, leather was believed to ward off evil spirits, so old leather shoes were thought to keep the newlyweds safe. If shoes aren’t readily available, use old utensils, wrenches or tools that reflect both your personalities. Or keep it quiet, and stick with streamers or flowers. Whatever you end up using make sure it's attention grabbing and personal to your own vibe--it’ll be the last thing your guests see!

What a beautiful notion to carry throughout your big day; better yet capture that notion with our Vintage Style Disposable Wedding Cameras. A disposable camera with a sophisticated twist, it’s ideal to give your guest to capture that elegant vintage affair.
 
A vintage vibe is nothing without a combination of polished floral displays, soft colors, and smooth, flowing fabrics. Incorporate colors like cream, grey, champagne, soft peach and pink to inspire a dreamy atmosphere. Simple rustic accents such as mason jars or moon glass vases with light color flowers can beautifully compliment your wedding. There are many different types of vintage weddings, so try focusing on a certain era or decade to keep your wedding plans and decorations cohesive. Start out by choosing a color scheme and blend your personality into your wedding.

Make sure to dress the part. There are plenty of different types of vintage wedding gowns that you should have no problem trying to find. Find a dress that fits the tone of your desired vintage era. An intricate beaded dress would fit nicely with a 1920s-30s theme while a glamorous silk creation goes great with a 1950s theme. The most popular eras to style a vintage wedding around seem to be twenties and fifties, but why not break the mold? The world is your oyster!

Something Blue

 

It’s the time-honored tradition that every girl knows by heart, “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” But we bet you didn’t know that it comes from an Old English rhyme and that each object stands for something? 

Either way, we love the endless possibilities that you can play with for your “something blue” on your big day of white! Whether it’s subtle, like a fathers handkerchief sewn into the underside of your dress, or doing your whole wedding in Tiffany or Robin’s Egg, pops of blue are so fun!

If you really want to go big--maybe even rent a blue get away car! Flashy just isn’t your style? How about this soft powder blue nail polish from Essie? It’d be such a cute, understated way and would look great in a close up shot of your ring!

One way to rock the blue hue is a little bit sassier and we love it! Our Hanky Panky “I Do” thongs are such a cute way to secretly broadcast your love on your big day! They even come in a great little 2-pack gift set so you can don the blue on your big day and strut the white later! They’re a great “little something” for lingerie showers and look so cute in boudoir photographs!

Finally, you can always sneak in your “something blue” in your accessories! Not a big fan of heels? Try baby blue kicks from Converse that will juuuuust peak out under your dress as you float down the aisle. Or carry an arrangement of vibrant blue hydrangeas! 



Have you found your “something blue?”

To Top It Off!

You’ve booked the location. You’ve picked the dress. You’ve ordered the cake. Now it’s time for those subtle little details that really make your wedding feel special. How about “topping it off” with one of our fabulous, Swarovski Crystal Monogrammed Wedding Cake Toppers! 

Okay, now you might be thinking-- “I hadn’t really thought of what kind of cake topper we’d have...” But let me ask you this. When you think of all those classic, time-honored wedding photos, what comes to mind? Now for myself, as a child of parents married in the 80’s, I think of puffy hair, shoulder puffs, and my parents cutting the cake. It’s the quintessential, “We’re starting our new life together” photo! Well, that and the oh-so-(not)-fun, cake smashing pic...

So, not only are all your guests waiting for this first, precious moment as “Mr. & Mrs.” but the photographer is too. And let’s be honest, you know you’re going to have to buy this photo. So why not make it memorable? Whether your man is into bicycles, has a great sense of humor, or just lets you have your way and get a fresh-flower-covered cake, the topper is a special way to broadcast who you are as a couple.

As a final thought to “top off things off,” keep your topper in a special place. That way, on your one year anniversary, it can get a second life adorning your top tier as you and your hubby celebrate a fantastic first year of marriage.

A White & Grey Winter Wedding

Classic white and grey is a flawless color combination for a winter wedding. You will be sure to sparkle in this wedding with metallic accents and a beautiful winter backdrop. You can simply never go wrong with a classic color scheme.

The weather is one of the most important thing to consider in planning a winter wedding. Of course, you want your guests and yourself to be comfortable so you must take into consideration the weather. Shawls can be a beautiful way to keep warm and you can even have a basket of extra wraps at the ceremony. A hot chocolate bar is a great idea for the reception. Plus, who doesn't love hot chocolate and heart-shaped marshmallows?!

At a winter wedding, you can easily take advantage of the fact that glitter and sequins are currently trending. Metallic accents can make your grey color scheme sparkle and can easily be incorporated into any aspect of the wedding. Jewelry is a great way to add a little sparkle along with glittery heels and hair accessories.

White hydrangeas make a gorgeous bouquet and baby’s breath may be fun to experiment with as well, especially since it has become more and more popular lately. Fake snow could be a lovely addition to the table decor. Our Beaded Snowflake Ornaments can be creatively incorporated into the reception decor for another beautiful wintry element and, as a bonus, they can be given to your guests as favors! These winter favors would certainly bring back fond memories of your wedding to your guests year after year.

What’s not to love about a sparkly grey and white winter wedding. The dreamy decor will dazzle your guests. Just think about the potential for pictures in the snow and you’ll fall in love with this winter wedding. Don’t forget to bring an extra pair of shoes! Perhaps some cozy white booties will do.
