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.

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.

Rustic Love

Rustic elegance is a welcome addition to weddings.  From mason jars to outdoor settings to natural accents, rustic charm is the perfect theme for a wedding.
