Spring into Color and Creativity for your Wedding Details!

The sun is out and the shades are on; what can I say except, “Spring is here”! With the warmth of the sun, spirits flying high and the feeling of being sun-kissed everyday, you can’t help but bring some of the sunshine and love into your wedding! Here are some wonderful and creative ideas for fun loving spring and summer weddings by Martha Stewart. I absolutely love all of these ideas because they are not only so cute to look at, but these are details that your guests will absolutely love and squeal at.

Ah! If I were welcomed to any wedding or event with shortbread and cake on a stick and lemonade on a hot summer day, I would absolutely die with glee! I love these! They are the perfect accent to a fun, whimsical summer/spring wedding.

How fun are these programs! They have little confetti pockets on the front to shower the new Mr. and Mrs. with…LOVE! Also love the pinks and cremes of the table scape next to it with it’s garden-like graphics and loose petals in the middle of the table.

This guestbook is also high on my charts, I always love fun alternatives to the traditional guestbook and this one featured with mini envelopes for guests to leave notes in is amazing. Cupcakes in a jar are all the rage right now, I am giddy just thinking about it so imagine how your guests will feel to actually receive one of these delectable treats!

Just because the sun is shining and spring is in the air, I thought that I might share some of my favorite finds of the moment from Rue Magazine. I absolutely love the colors and the mix of modern vintage in the inspiration board below.

I couldn’t be happier that the sun is out and that wedding season is officially in full swing!

Save the Date Punchcards

I am a huge fan of invitation designs and sets, especially when they’re creative and graphically well-designed. I recently discovered LetterPunch Design who creates ‘thoughtfully themed, wedding paper designs’ and I love their style! Their designs are just as their slogan reads and I am absolutely charmed by their “Save the Date” Punchcard designs. Besides their incredibly, beautiful and contemporary graphics, the best part may be the tear off RSVP card that comes with it! These are just charming, fun and refreshing. Enjoy some samples below!

Aren’t these “All Aboard” Save the Dates adorable? Here is a sampling of the tear off RSVP card attached. It’s convenient for the guest as well as perfectly thought out in functionality and design.

Here’s a fun Destination Wedding Day by Day Itinerary. Again, the design gets 100 points for concept and 100 points for the chic factor.

Love the attached Accommodations Suggestion Card

Here is an image of the RSVP card separate of the invitation…still gorgeous and chic.

Here is a sample of one of their wedding invitation sets, this one is called “Vintage Glam Weddings” and is named appropriately so…perhaps it’s because of my love for pink, damask and chandeliers.

Visit Letter Punch Design for more of their design portfolio or visit their Etsy Shop here

Plums and Dahlias DIY Decor

charmed — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:03:47 +0000

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Decor 8, especially their Color Me Pretty Feature written by Leslie of A Creative Mint. Her most recent entry featured delicious inspirations of plum hues and dahlias and I hope you will be inspired by her decor ideas. I think tomorrow, I will definately buy some dahlias and decorate my own jar.

This would be a cute idea for a small gathering, finding architecturally interesting jars and tying the rims with plum inspired ribbons and finally topping them off with dahlias is perfection!

Find fabrics or decorative paper with plum hues or dahlia designs and create a chic, color and design coordinated garland for decor.

Find dahlia and plum inspired decorative paper, cut them into different gift tag shapes. This would be great for an Escort Card Board, the different sizes and designed tags will be adorable all pinned up!

For more about this idea, be sure to visit Decor 8 for this Color Me Pretty edition designed by Creative Mint
