{{ Winter Wonderland! }}

I've been Inspired by the Season Change. I'm a Mid-West Gal, and this year I'm seriously missing WINTER! Yes, it sounds crazy! But I believe that there is something magical about the Snow. Plus, its a whole new Wardrobe! And us Women, Love clothes! Even here in Arizona, the Winter months can be chilly! So, lets dress accordingly! Here are some Warm Wedding Wardrobe thoughts :)

{Trend Spotting!} .:: Babies Breath ::.

Babies Breath. Sweet, Simple, and INEXPENSIVE! Every Wedding has a budget, and I've seen it time and time again. Brides forget to budget FLORALS! While, not every Venue includes centerpieces, an inexpensive route is needed for centerpieces. Since you may not be able to afford the Roses or Hydrangea, you may not want the low budget of Carnations.  

Babies Breath. 

It can fill up Vases, Make full Bouquets, and even fill Floral Foam very easily. Depending where you live, you may even be able to pick them yourself! I've found cute ideas for you to include them into your special day! 

.:: Boutonnières ::.

Boutonnieres have always been a small arrangement of florals that, for the most part, match the bouquets. With the times changing from the traditional Bouquets, so are the Boutonnieres. They can match your theme, or even play off a quality of the Groom (since it is him and his men that will be wearing them)!

Have fun, and include the Men on designing this one!     

.:: Oh! The pretty Bridesmaid Dresses! ::.

A lot of brides have chosen the untraditional route of different colors, and even different styles of dresses for their Bridesmaids; or even just a different dress for the Maid of Honor. While it is, you day, the ladies by your side need to look fantastic as well! Remember they shouldn't clash!! 

{A White Affair!} | Trend Spotting .::White Decor::.

The Dress is White, Flowers, Linens, Chairs, China, and even the Cake! What a luxe way to bring sophistication and elegance to your event! I believe it is a classic, timeless, beautiful approach to a theme, or decor option. While you may want to add your own splash of color in, I've found some shots of ALL WHITE! 

Enjoy! :)

{{ Aisle Decor }}

Details to your ceremony space are just as important as your reception details! I have two very important tips that EVERY Bride needs to know and consider. First, you can use some of the details in your ceremony in your reception as well! Why pay double for florals? If you are using large centerpieces, ask your coordinator or friends to place them at the alter and/or end of the aisle; then have them moved into your reception space as the table centerpieces. Second, we all know the floating candles on the aisle look super pretty! BUT, I have never seen a single wedding that uses this detail where a vase didn't get tipped over. Glass breaks, water everywhere, and takes up time. Unless you're putting them on some sort of elevation--consider the hazard. 

With that in mind, check out the details I've come across that I don't see too often and will totally spruce up any ceremony space!

Budget Wedding! Tips to save $$$

While I think the average cost is a bit off on this chart, there are some fantastic ideas of how to save some money! Its the simple things, like bringing in your own roses from Cost Co to use for peddles down the aisle-- to wearing a flower crown instead of a veil. Check it out! Hope ya'll find some ideas :)

.:: Photos of the Bride ::.

I see the same shots. Front of the Bride in her Gown, Back of the Bride in her Gown, Sitting by a window, Back of the Bride holding doors or curtains. Lets jazz it up a bit! It took some stretch, but I found some shots! Get creative! Use your surroundings as a backdrop! Show off those details!
