More “bridesmaid-y” dresses!

June 7, 2007 in Wedding Inspiration

I like these dresses.  Plus, that pregnant bridesmaid looks really cute!!

I’d like to do a shade of funky blue for my bridesmaids, who range in skin tone by a lot. I think blue would look good on all of them:

From the Real Wedding of Alexis & Eric in Coronado, CA. I love these Betsey Johnson dresses and would totally wear one!  Unfortunately they are over $500 each.  I wonder what these girls do to be able to afford that!

I also like the contrasting sashes on these blue dresses:

Green is also a good color:

Love the hair! From the Knot Real Wedding of Carrie & Paul in Buda, TX:

Placecards

I love this freaking wedding. Before I had no outlet for my creative ideas. I’d make stuff, and then I’d think “what the heck am I going to do with this?!” Now I can look at pictures of placecards and think “YAY!”

These placecards are a great idea–each color is for a different meal choice:

I think this is a great idea, as well…inside each pocket is the menu. From the Knot Real Wedding of Jenny & Ira in Richmond, VA:

In other news…what the heck do people need menus for?

Table Indicators

Each table needs a name or a number.  These are some creative ideas people have come up with for displaying the table numbers.  On the tables, we’re going to do something like this, but more like a timeline where each table represents a special time in our lives together:

Cupcakes?

June 6, 2007 in Wedding Inspiration

I really like the idea of having cupcakes instead of cake, but I keep reading that this is really overdone. I’m not sure if it really matters (I mean, I don’t want to get sidetracked by stupid stuff like “I have to have the most unique wedding ever!”), and it’s cheaper than doing a regular cake. Cheaper is very appealing. If we do cupcakes, I’d love to do a cupcake tier with a small cake on top. I plan to make custom cake toppers of me, Mr. Stinkerpants, our dog and three cats. Here are some pictures of cupcake ideas I like:

My mom sent me this place, in Portland. I love their small cake on top (not my style, but a cute idea):

Bouquet Ideas

June 6, 2007 in Wedding Inspiration

I can honestly say that I never noticed the flowers at any wedding I’ve ever been to. I think flowers are one of those things that are only noticed by people who have recently planned a wedding (or are in the middle of planning one). As a result, I don’t really have a preference for bouquets.

I love these tightly bound pink roses.
From the Knot Real Wedding of Esther & John in Beverly Hills, CA:

I could do these for the centerpieces as well.

I also love everything about this bouquet (especially the snapdragons). Super unique:

I think the colors in this bouquet are fabulous, but it might be too expensive to do something similar. And considering flowers die in 48 hours, I can’t really justify spending a bunch of money on them:
