Looking for wedding favors, decorative packaging, gifts for your wedding party, and wedding decor? Of course you are, you’re wedding planning! For lovely products galore check out Estilo Weddings, a fantastic online shop that I’m so excited to have learned about. Started by a former bride, this store carries all kinds of unique and high quality wedding supplies. I personally love their capiz shell mini tealight holders, filigree cupcake wrappers, favor boxes, and personalized paper embossers (I’ve got to get one of those!) For fun inspiration you can search their products by style in their “get inspired” section- modern, classic, global or organic, or look specifically at their many green wedding options for your eco-chic affair. Have fun!
Being a giant fan of food, I absolutely love wedding favors that include recipes for guests to take home. These letterpress coasters from Bella Figura Artisan Letterpress are made of thick, sturdy paper stock and the colors and designs are gorgeous. A fun, bright pink Raspberry Margarita recipe goes perfectly with a Cinco de Mayo wedding, and the classic recipes for Pimm’s Cup and Tennessee Tea are filled with southern charm. All of Bella Figura’s letterpress wedding designs are simply stunning, and their website is full of wedding inspiration! Check them out!
At a recent Eastern Washington wedding photographed by La Vie Photography, the bride’s Grandmother’s famous carrot cake cupcakes were served with sweetly designed recipe cards honoring the much beloved family member. Adorable!
Here are two great ideas from MarthaStewart.com. From a southern wedding that served traditional shrimp and grits during dinner, guests took home a bag of grits with a recipe wrapped around the outside. For a garden wedding or post-wedding brunch, give guests a bundle of fresh herbs with a favorite recipe attached that includes the herbs in the bunch.
Jeff and Michelle’s gorgeous September 1st wedding, coordinated by Shannon from Sublime Wedding and Event Planning, and photographed by our own Kim and Adam Bamberg of La Vie Photography, took place on a bright and shining late summer day. This perfectly matched couple filled their celebration with classic elegance and tradition as well as lots of modern and personal touches to make their friends and family feel completely welcomed and loved. Their color palette of chocolate brown and teal with splashes of red added vibrancy to every aspect of the day, and even the bright blue sky cooperated in adding to the look! Love it!
The fabulous floral arrangements designed by Flora Nova blew everyone away. At the church there were thick piles of petals lining the isle and candles covering the alter, Michelle and her bridesmaids had intricate bouquets with small splashes of color (I love the thick red ribbon around the stems of Michelle’s bouquet!) and at the reception the tables had lush centerpieces overflowing with blooms. Amazing!
Welcoming and involving their guests, especially since many had traveled from across the country to be there, was the main priority for Michelle and Jeff, so they got creative and had fun with it! Out of town guests received welcome bags that included an umbrella in case of Seattle rain, and they sent everyone home at the end of the night with a midnight snack box filled with chocolate milk and Top Pot Doughnuts. Yum! During the celebration they surprised their guests by performing a choreographed fox-trot to L-O-V-E by Michael Buble, and by inviting all the married men to catch the bouquet so (after they battled it out) the winner could present the beautiful flowers to his wife. What a fun idea.
