Story for the books


We are asked quite often for original ideas for guest books. Most people do not want to have something that will lay around their house with no spot to be placed in (okay I will be honest and say that the “most people” I am talking about in this instance is my husband). So when I saw this adorable and creative DIY wedding idea from Project Wedding, I knew I had to share. A timeline guestbook for your guests to create on the day of your wedding? Totally swoon worthy. Enjoy!

B-R-I-D-E & G-R-O-O-M


BHLDN does it again with their absolutely adorable signs to hang around your wedding. Maybe on the back of the chairs or hung above a picture collage of the bride and groom. Anyway it is shown, it will be amazing.

Cupcakes with a Twist


Everyone loves cupcakes and they are such a fun dessert option at weddings because they offer variety in a personal size portion.  But now the idea of cupcakes have gotten better due to Goldylocks over at Etsy.  She has created these adorable little cupcake sticks that can be toppers for your cuppiecakes and add some fun and pizazz to the “typical” dessert. Check em out!

Monday Maids


We have been obsessed with the jewelry company Dogeared for years and absolutely love their bridal line. What a sweet gift it would be to your bridesmaids to wear a piece of jewelry handpicked with such meaning? Here are a few of our favorites but trust us, there is so much more to explore!

I Spy With My Little Eye


{via}

When I saw this, I had one of those moments of “I wish I could redo my wedding and add this adorable idea”. Treat your guests to a challenge of the game “I Spy” and ask them to take photographs of moments your photographer might not be able to get in the hustle and bussle of it all. You could then create a public flicker account so everyone can load their photographs for you to see. Adorable



PSSST!


We are swooning over this one! Have your flower girl deliver a secret message to your groom before you walk down the aisle!
