B-I-G Balloons

So much to be inspired by in weddings today!  It's always hard to choose one topic to write about.  Lately, we have been blown away by the oversized balloon trend.  For me personally, I was never a fan of the smaller balloons at weddings, the dreaded "balloon arch", and all that.  But these oversized balloons that people are using as photo props and decor are, shall we say, elegant?  Take a look at some recent favorites below.

These oversized red balloons for this photo are super cute.

Love these beauties as an overhand for a table.

L-O-V-E these oversize X-O balloons. We think they could even work at a reception, too.

Pretty white balloons serve as a nice accent & backdrop for a dessert table.

What We Love About Weddings

Wow, we've haven't posted an entry for almost two weeks.  Sorry!  We have been busy at Wedding Belle Favors making favors and processing orders.  But we have been yearing to write about weddings and what we love, so here goes. Sometimes, it is so hard to hone in on a specific subject to write about on our blog.  We, of course, love to write about favors, but we love ALL things weddings, and honestly, with all the wonderful wedding inspirations out there right now, it's hard to choose.  So we have compiled a list of our "best of the best", what's inspiring us these days, just what is plain fabulous when it comes to weddings.  So here ya go:

1. Pompoms and Lanterns.  We still absolutely love the popularity of lanterns and pompoms.  With so many choice out there and and ounce of creativity, you can make your event truly special, like the one below.

2.  S'mores.  Yes, a whole entry devoted to s'mores.  They are wildly popular as dessert items, appetizers, and now, as part of proposals!

3.  The Color Orange.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  We're always talking about it and it's the hot color right now.  But it deserves it!  On it's own or combined with brown, purple, lime green, red....you have divine wedding decor!

4.  Faux and brooch bouquets.  I am a big fresh flower fan, but some of these bejeweled bouquets are swoon-worthy.

5.  Eco-Favors.  Yes, it's a buzz word in weddings these days.  But particularly when it comes to favors, eco-friendly options, such as plantable favors, live trees, and these soy coconut candles, can't be beat.

6.  Different Bouquets.  We love the idea of wrist bouquets and these pomanders for bridesmaid or flower girls.

We might make this "best of" segment a weekly splurge.  Stay tuned.....:)
