Wedding Trend Spotter: Romanticism Style

The Romantic style is one that has always been popular with weddings. The romanticism style usually incorporates soft colors, antique design, ornate curvy designs, floral headpieces and centerpieces, and a gentle overall feel. Here are a few examples of romantic-themed wedding style:

Besides soft, warm colors, many romantic-style weddings also employ a good deal of crystals on the centerpieces and around the reception venue, and antique touches such as old-fashioned photo frames that can hold photos of the bride and groom and their friends and family.

How to Make Perfect Baby Shower Favor Boxes

A baby shower is a unique event that allows friends and family of the mother-to-be to celebrate their new baby. Baby showers are a lot like bridal showers, in the fact that party-goers usually play games, give gifts to the guest of honor, and use the event as a reason to celebrate and have fun.

The organizers of the baby shower usually also prepare favors for the guests, to thank them for coming. Many organizers prefer to give a single baby shower favor, such as a nice miniature photo frame or a baked good, like fudge. These fit nicely in favor boxes, like this cute bee-themed one we offer:

AK-28163NA-BG
For organizers that want to fill favor boxes for the baby shower guests, there’s a variety of small, fun items that could be included, such as cookie cutters, key chains, earrings, nail polish, and other items that guests may enjoy.

Wedding Trend Spotter: Chalkboard Decor

Another unique trend that is popping up all over wedding blogs and Pinterest profiles is chalkboards as a decor or art piece. On the whole, chalk blackboards can be a great medium for sentiments, quotes, menu signs, greetings, and special messages for almost any event (not just weddings).

Another great example of a chalkboard wedding sign that’s a unique touch at your wedding is a large program that guests can view before taking their seats. This would be easy to make with a large frame, plywood and chalkboard paint:

Contemporary Weddings: A Style Trend That’s Here to Stay

The contemporary design movement has made its way into weddings, where simple, clean lines create a visually stunning event that makes an impact. Many contemporary weddings also bring about images of dramatic lighting and a minimalist feel:

Whimsical Outdoor Fall Wedding Ideas

Although they are not as common as spring weddings, fall weddings continue to be popular for people that are looking to have an outdoor wedding set to the beautiful background of changing leaves as the weather gets cooler.

If you live in a more temperate area of the U.S., having an outdoor fall wedding can be a great way to celebrate your union and the season.

Try to incorporate the fall colors and flowers (such as mums) that commemorate the season. Other fall favorites like pumpkins, straw bales and logs create a unique setting.

Finally, for utensils and dishes, be sure to use china and silverware (or heavy plastic-ware) so they don’t blow away in the wind. For drinking glasses, personalized mason jars are an affordable option and they provide a rustic touch to your fall wedding reception:
