Pretty Paper Decor

We love pretty paper!  As an alternative to traditional flowers, paper décor is a creative and fun way to embellish your ceremony and reception! Keep an eye out for paper décor made from recycled materials, and let your imagination run wild. From pinwheels to parasols, paper wedding décor comes in so many pretty colors and designs that you can have a ball with it.  And if you are a crafty bride, paper décor makes for cool DIY projects!

Save the Dates

 

Save the Date

Once you’ve settled on a wedding date and location for your wedding, the ideal next step is to send out a save the date card.  Typically sent six months prior to your wedding (or eight months if you are planning a destination wedding), the save the date is a courteous gesture to your guests, particularly if travel is involved.  Save the dates are also expected to be creative, so have fun with it!

Keep your save the dates eco-friendly by going digital!  There are plenty of cool apps, like Sincerely Ink, out there to help.  Select a super-cute photo, and design a save the date card right from your mobile.

If you love the easy process, Sincerely Ink can help you with up to 12 custom cards—so consider going green for your invites and thank-you notes too!

Real Wedding: Suzannah + Keith

What an Eco-Beautiful Virginia wedding!  We received this submission from Lisa Boggs Photography, and were immediately taken by the natural beauty of this couple’s celebration.  The wedding was held at the Bluemont Vineyard, and we love that the couple opted for minimal décor to allow the venue to speak for itself.

The creative bride made her own bouquet and centerpieces from sticks and handmade flowers.

Bride Suzannah also made this adorable cake topper!

As animal lovers, the couple chose donations to the ASPCA in lieu of wedding favors, and also asked their guests donate to their favorite animal rights charities as opposed to purchasing gifts.  What a conscious celebration!

Mother of the Bride Style

Since Mother’s Day is almost here, how about a little Mother-of-the-Bride style? 

We wholeheartedly agree that you should be the prettiest girl at your wedding, but if there had to be a runner-up, it would have to be Mom!  Your wedding celebration is the day of her dreams too, so let her style reflect it.  There are options galore for moms who want to look and feel glamorous.  Particularly for summer weddings, encourage Mom to play with colors and even prints that compliment your wedding’s palette.  And dresses that flow are ideal for that twirl on the dance floor with the dapper groom!
