Winter wedding bouquets with pinecones are a simple and economical choice, yet with a rustic and chic touch for your winter wedding. They look especially stunning for an outdoor wedding with lots of white and green incorporated into the wedding color scheme. They also really stand out next to a winter white wedding dress, or perhaps just a few pinecones scattered into a white wedding bouquet to … [Read more...]
Light Bulb Vases - what a simple, easy, and beautiful diy idea for flower vases. You can either choose to mount the bulb to some sort of base to use them as standing vases, or use wire to use them as hanging lightbulb vases.

The great thing about paper flower crafts, is that with a little bit of resourcefulness and creativity, you can incorporate them into your wedding day for free, using newspaper, vintage books, paper bags, and scrap paper. You can also use things like buttons or pieces from old jewelry to add a little pizzaz. I've never been a huge fan of paper flower centerpieces, but after being inspired by … [Read more...]

The great thing about a good boho braid is that it doesn't have to be perfect! The entire idea is to have a natural, kind-of messy look. They work wonderfully for long and/or thick hair, because while your hair is pulled back and out of your face, you still get the volume you need. The one shown below looks particularly well with a few strays left to frame your face or with side swept bangs. If … [Read more...]
I remember begging my mother to braid my hair as a child, loving the mother-daughter bonding time and the fact that I could tell my friends at school I had the coolest mom ever; my uniquely braided hair being proof. I haven't since ventured into braided territory, until recently, when braided hairstyles became the new rage. New soft, romantic braided wedding hairstyles for long hair have become … [Read more...]
The wedding reception menu has always been a big part of most weddings, from a sit down dinner of filet mignon and salmon, to a casual buffet with simple finger foods such as cheese, fruit and crackers. I, myself, like the buffet option better, not only because it's more cost effective, but you can also give your guests quite an array of options to choose from; finding something delectable for … [Read more...]
Yum! I don't know about you, but I love a good dessert buffet. It's like finger food heaven with all of the different options; something sweet for everyone's taste. Fortunately, dessert buffets are becoming more and more popular for many wedding receptions, either in place of the traditional wedding cake or in addition to it. Consider things like mini pies, macaroons, gourmet caramel popcorn, or … [Read more...]

Winter has always been a magical time of year to me, which makes me wonder why winter weddings aren't more popular? It may be cold, but with some creative planning you can really beat the drudgery and warm things up a bit. I had my wedding during the winter season and want to share with you how I did it without taking out a second mortgage or maxing out my credit cards. With some patience and a … [Read more...]
If you would like an alternative to the classic wedding bouquets, whether for yourself as a bride or for your bridesmaids, here is an idea that I think is not only practical but quite unique and attractive: purse bouquets!
