Quick Inspiration: Menu Card Idea

Who can really resist an adorable motif that you carry through your entire wedding? We definitely can't! That's why we couldn't stop talking about these DIY stamped menu cards that we spotted on lindaandharriett.blogspot.com. What a cute idea and totally doable since stamps come in all different designs and styles.

How- to: Paint Can Favors

We love finding fun packaging that we can spin into a DIY favor idea. This one was extra easy to pull of because it was all about the paint can. (P.S. We worked in our signature wedding shade to make it a real hit!)

Materials:
Mini paint cans ($.99 at Rojay Party Store)
Candy
Favor tags

Steps
Fill up the cans with your favorite mini treats. (Our color palette was cherry and gray so we found the brightest mix of red candies!). Attach your favor tag. Keep it simple or get creative like we did with the paintbrush idea. A bright and punchy tag would also look great, too.

Idea We Love: DIY Photo Station

What a clever idea that Hillary Burgess shared on the bridescafe.com. Such a great way to add some character to your big day with a little vintage charm. Aand not only do guests get some great shots to take home but they get a photo lesson too! (Extra points for a smart idea!) Think that propping this type of set-up is close to impossible? It's really not! Check out ebay, etsy, craigslist or even your grandma’s attic. Trust us, you’ll never know what you’ll find or what people in your family hold onto that you can use for your wedding!

Real Wedding Inspiration: Jessica and Tad's Charming Paper Trail

We couldn't wait to share the amazing ideas that Jessica and Tad whipped up for their wedding day celebration. We really fell in love with their Save the Date! Why? Because we literally took a stroll down all the big moments they spent together. Could those icons get any cuter? So personal. Totally creative. Unbelievably inspiring.

Real Wedding Inspiration: Hollin and Eric

Dreaming of an outdoor wedding in a cool and secluded spot? Then you'll love Hollin and Eric's wedding. The venue: A charming tree house. The details: Simply magical – and doable! The table decor was unexpected yet so perfect. Donuts were displayed on delicate fluted cake stands (yum!). Pieces of old-school flavored gum were scattered across the tablescape. Vintage tea canisters and mason jars were filled with freshly picked assorted blooms. Mismatched ideas that created a picture-perfect set-up that is just bubbling with personality.
