It's About The Shoes

Monday, April 30, 2012
Love, love, love the wide array of beautiful, creative, and non-traditional wedding shoes we are seeing these days!  From rainbow pumps, sparkle sneakers, and many other options, brides and bridesmaids are showing up with some pretty cute feet. :)

Bridesmaids (above) are looking quite stylish with hearts on their shoes, glitter Toms, rainboots, and watercolor rainbow shoes.

Favor Striping

Friday, April 27, 2012
I get the feeling you like our posts most when they involve what we love most:  FAVORS!  So, my goal is to try to devote at least one of our weekly blog entries to just that.  As a favor and gift company, Wedding Belle Favors strives to keep up on what is the trendiest, chicest, "it" item when it comes to favors.  We love how personalized and handmade favors have become recently!  In this post, we're focusing specifically on favors that incorporate stripes.  Stripes are clean, classic, fresh, yet modern at the same time.  Stripes can show up in the favors themselves, maybe on the tables they are displayed on, or on accent items, like favor tags.  We love some of the ideas we've assembled below.

1.  Striped Gerber Daisy Favor Boxes.  We've included one of our most popular and best selling stripe-themed favor.  It's cute and dainty and the perfect size to tuck a truffle, some fresh lavender, or other small favor item.

2.  Striped Tables.  Favors get a pop when displayed on a vibrant table.

3.  Favor Bags.  These chic chevron stripe favor bags are perfect for treats.

4.  Striped Straws.  Straws are becoming increasing popular at weddings, both as a practical piece, but also decorative.  They make cute "picks" for favor goodies, or as the favor itself.

5.  Favor & Treat Boxes.  Candy, popcorn, & treat bars are popular for weddings; have your guests use these cute pink and white striped boxes to collect goodies.

Please Be Seated

Well, we couldn't write a blog post on beautiful tables without a follow-up focused on table numbers and seating cards!  Again, I am just blown away by the beautiful and creative ways that brides are directing guests to tables and marking tables.  They truly are works of art.  Take a look below:

La Table

Friday, April 20, 2012
I can't get over the gorgeous tables that are sweeping through weddings these days!  Is it just me, or is creativity hitting all time highs in terms of the "art of the table"?  I know when I attend a wedding and arrive at the reception, often the first impression we have of the look, vibe, and style of a reception is that first entrance into the ballroom, barn, or backyard.  What's the first thing that often catches our eye?  The tables!  We find our seat and first take in all that the table has to offer.  And it's a lot!  Tables offer flowers, menus, favors, place settings, and other tokens that the couple has seen fit to include.  Below find some of our recent favorite, awe-inspiring tables:

Favor Love

Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Well, it's what we love.....favors!  We haven't written a post in awhile on our favorite current trends, au courant colors, and what we find oh-so-cute in the favor world.  So here goes.....

1.  Mini Libations.  Mini bottles of alcohol are cute as favors.  We love the bride and groom touch added to this vodka below.

2.   Maps.  Maps and travel are huge with weddings right now, and that crosses all the way to the favor.  These cute pillow box map boxes are perfect to tuck favor treasures in.

3.  Eco-Favors.  Being responsible and green with your favors is important for couples.  Below, these Coconut Bath Salt favors are made with real coconut shells.Pinned Image
4.  Handmade foods.  It adds a personal touch when you offer homemade food items such as maple syrup, honey, chocolate sauce, or flavored cooking oil (below).

5.  Chalkboard Details.  The use of chalkboard is very commonplace and cute in weddings these days.  These cute heart shaped favor tags are the perfect touch.
