Orchid Inspiration

Add a tropical flair to your nuptials with some of our most popular orchid favors!  All of our favors here are handmade and perfect for your guests.

Color Focus: Orange

We love orange for weddings.  It's such a versatile color and combines wonderfully with purples, aqua blue, yellow, greens, chocolate brown, even black.  Browse below for some of our best orange inspirations.


Orange slices exposed in a floral centerpiece surrounded by candles are warm and inviting.

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:


Ditch the guest book!  Number your tables with these journals and have guests write their salutations.

Name each table with the word "love" in various lanugages.

Wine bottle table numbers are super cute!

Cute, rustic idea to hold place cards.

Flower numbers to mark each table....lovely!

La Table

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:


With classic black and white and the look of a continuous vase, this head table is a showstopper.

What an amazing, rustic idea!  This wood plank runner is simple yet stunning.

What a fun idea, spelling out the word "love" on a table with coffee mugs.

Classic black and white gets a "pop" when differing designs top various reception tables.

Intimate, candlelit event is gorgeous.

This moss and floral table lends itself perfectly to outdoor receptions.

Bridal Showers: What We Love

1.  Mini-Cakes.  We absolutely love the trend with mini cakes; sometimes one per guest or one per table.  The one below seems perfect for a bridal shower.


2.  Umbrellas.  What's more perfect than umbrellas to accent a shower?  These cute parasol-style umbrellas below are to die for!


3.  Fun Drinks.  We are loving the trend of old-fashioned soda in bottles, decorated straws, and interesting punches and cocktails for showers.

4.  Creative Cupcakes. Cupcakes are still wildly popular, but we really like the creative angle party throwers are taking in their presentation.  For example, we love these teacup cupcakes below, perfect for a shower.

5.  Lanterns.  Still in love with lanterns for parties of all kinds, including showers.

Purplicious

We did a post a few weeks back on the striking color combination of purple and lime green.  Purple, in general, is everywhere!  Especially for weddings, it brings a welcome spirit and beauty.  We love it particularly when it is paired with lime green, orange, and even hot pink.  Below find some inspirations for a wedding or special event with this great color.

     
Love these purple pom pom accents for a shower or wedding.

Sparkle purple Converse can work for the bride or bridesmaids.

Wow!  Gorgeous purple bridesmaids with bouquets of roses and hydrangeas.

Ruffles are big, too, in weddings (that will be a blog post later this week!).  In the meantime, here is a gorgeous ruffle wedding cake in varying hues of purple.

We're sort of in love with lanterns around here!  Absolutely love the "punch" that the purple, pink, and orange make in this event.

Fresh lavender tied around a vase to be used as a candle holder is pretty & rustic.
              
LOVE these flowers in hues of purple and blue on top of lanterns.

We've featured these before, but we can't help but love these hydrangea cupcakes!

We are loving this purple tent, complete with chair cushions and table decor in complimenting purple hues.

Glitter!

Have fun with glitter for your wedding or event.  It adds the perfect touch of sparkle.
