I might be a little partial to this idea because my husband and I met at a summer camp about 15 million years ago. I’m thinking walks by the lake, a picnic style dinner, and S’mores. Hey, this isn’t for every bride, but it would definitely be a fun and memorable experience. Here are a few inspiring wedding boards to help you envision your own camp style wedding.

This first one from Glamour & Grace really takes my breath away. The bridesmaids’ forest green dresses, simple and rustic flower bouquets, and natural up-do’s were the perfect choice. Go check out the rest of the stunning photos here.

This one from Ruffled, combined the summer camp theme with a chic vintage appearance. They really set the stage for something laid back yet spectacular. Let’s just say, this outdoorsy couple really knows how to camp with style!

From Bridal Musings, this couple made an entire day out of it with fun activities; swimming in the lake, a picnic lunch, canoeing, and a ropes course! What a great way to get all of your loved ones together for a day full of fun and happy memories.

Talk about the ultimate rustic camp wedding, this couple used a medieval catapult for their bouquet toss! All of the wedding decor, although spectacular, was DIY. It sounds like the bride had a lot of fun planning her wedding. Go check the details over at Green Wedding Shoes.

This artistic couple from New York planned a weekend for their friends and family to relax and have fun. Although unconventional, I love the idea of making your wedding day yours. Hop on over to Green Wedding Shoes to see more photos and wedding details.

A Peek Back to 2012:

The majority of jeweler’s warranties only cover the basics; chipping, cracking and loss of the diamond from the mounting (as long as you have your rings inspected every six months). They might also cover unintentional damage to the ring and loss of any smaller diamonds, but some don’t even offer that!

While warranties differ slightly as to what they actually cover, none of these jewelry warranties cover some of the most common problems encountered after purchasing a significant jewelry item. After all of the emotions that go along with getting engaged and married, don’t assume that your ring is covered, only to find out that the warranty contract basically only covered manufacturer’s defects.

Two of the most common reasons brides need to be protected are due to an accidental loss or mysterious disappearance. With such a small piece of jewelry, it could happen to anyone! It could easily be lost while traveling, dropped down a sink drain, accidentally thrown out, or even stolen. Even though your ring is so small (therefor easy to lose), we’re likely talking about a ring that cost you a small fortune.

Most engaged couples suffer from a false sense of confidence because they thought they were covered by the jeweler’s warranty. Fortunately, there are great specialty insurers out there to give you a little peace of mind. Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company offers a great protection plan. To get a free quote simply enter in your jewelry value and deductible preference, and you get an instant annual premium estimate. Easy!

These would be fun for a girl’s luncheon or bridal shower. For instructions, visit The Cookie Fairy. Although the site is in Hebrew, it can be translated into English with Google Translate. She has a lot of fun recipes!

Cake Coffee Cups

Mini food is a nice way to give your wedding guests a variety of food to choose from. You can feature many different miniature food options on your buffet table or appetizer trays. Start them off with mini veggie dips or mini shrimp cocktails before the ceremony, and then offer some cute little mini grilled cheese sandwiches, mini burgers, mini hot dogs, mini macaroni and cheese, or even mini chicken pot pies at the reception! Here is a gallery of mini food ideas and recipes to inspire your miniature wedding bites!

Mini Burgers & Hotdogs

An American classic; hamburgers and hotdogs, only in miniature form! That’s right, you don’t have to feel guilty for theses small pleasures. Finish them off with a mini side of fries. Consider a cone cup or even a mini glass with ketchup dip.

After drooling over some of these pie pop recipes, I’ve realized that they are actually quite easy to make; just replace your pie pan with popsicle sticks (found in the baking aisle at most craft stores). I’m also digging this idea for a bridal shower or luncheon. You’re only limited by the cookie cutter shapes you can find! Consider dressing them up a bit with colorful icing, sugar, cinnamon, or sprinkles. These mini pie recipes also make for awesome little treats.

Selecting a few different flavored popcorns with mini favor bags is an easy and popular choice. You can really spice it up a notch with gourmet toppings and seasonings; peanuts, candy, nacho cheddar, chocolate chips, and perhaps even a spicy chili lime powder. Popcorn balls are also a nice little addition to any popcorn station.

I also like the idea of creating a trail mix bar. It’s like a popcorn bar, but with a larger variety of little treats to mix and match. You could include popcorn, nuts, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, M&Ms, crystalized ginger, shredded coconut, mini pretzels, Chex cereal, banana chips, granola, etc…

Photo Tutorial

This season’s collection of wedding dresses are fabricated in chiffon, satin, silk dupion, and taffeta. The vintage feel and dimension of the collection is achieved by layering unique netting, laces and distinct linings. The opulent collection incorporates beaded cap sleeves, Venice vintage laces, hand beading, illusion necklines, and tulle silhouetting. I think that the Justin Alexander Spring 2013 Collection represents the bride who wants to exude charm and vintage elegance, but with a hint of drama.
