Quick Inspiration: String On Some Apples

We spotted this fall friendly chair swag over at The Brides Café, and have been dreaming of an apple-themed wedding ever since: apple cider, apple pie, and maybe even a little apple dunking at the rehearsal dinner.

To create them, just string the fruit together with wire, then tie on some pretty ribbons at the ends. Make just a couple to decorate the bride and groom’s chairs or order by the bushel and do up the whole room—the best part is that the swags can be made a couple of days in advance!

Idea We Love: Candy Apple Bar

We couldn't resist sharing this sweet idea. A DIY candy apple bar - and the mini kind! Our favorite part: the branches that stepped in as popsicle sticks. Does it get any better than this?

How-to: More Fall-Inspired Escort Cards

We're still finding inspiration from our favorite seasonal elements. So easy! So cheap!

Materials
leaves (you'll need 1 per guest)
ribbon
hole punch
construction paper
glue stick
fine tip markers (we used black and white)
scissors

How-to Here's a hint: We actually made our name cards by tracing clip art that we doanloaded but chances are you can find a cute acorn from the scrapbooking aisle at your local craft store.

Step 1 Download acorn-shaped clip art. Cut out,trace and cut out.
Step 2 We traced the tops on our brown paper and the body on moss colored paper. Cut out.
Step 3 Glue the tops of the acorn on the bottom with glue stick. Set aside and let dry.
Step 4 Write the name of your guest and the table assignments.
Step 5 We decided to dress up the acorn with a dot border with a white felt tip marker.
Step 6 Make a hole in the top of the acorn. Attach to leaf with ribbon.
