9 Super Chic Save the Dates

Having a chic wedding but have no idea where to start when it comes to save the dates? Check out these 9 super chic save the dates to get inspired!

Save the date #1

Talk about glitter! This Save the Date is perfect for a chic wedding at a modern hotel. We love the shiny gold colouring and the mixture of script and serif typography.

Save the date #2

This next save the date can be found on etsy. It is a gorgeous rose gold and grey colour, but the perfect grey! This grey isn’t too blue or too beige, it’s the right amount of both colours. Perfect for any wedding. This hand written font mixed with a italicized serif is so elegant.

Save the date #3

This save the date screams greenery and rose gold wedding to us. The rough edges are so different from your traditional invitations. Large bold numbers are perfect for reminding your guests of your wedding. Perfect for putting on the fridge as a reminder as well!

Save the date #4

Minimalism at its very best. The debossed text is perfectly easy to read and makes this save the date super modern. The light grey colour on the paragraph text helps for readability without being harsh in any way. Beautiful!

Save the date #5

A soft romantic font as the heading for this save the date is just right. Mixed with the thin serif font, it is the perfect amount of chicness (< is that even a word?). Since the typography is thin, adding a shiny gold colour makes this save the date stand out!

Save the date #6

Want something with a little more colour? Why not use a romantic floral option. This save the date is still super chic, but is also adds a touch of liveliness. The fonts aren’t your typical serif fonts either. This invite has a thin script matched with a soft sans serif font.

Save the date #7

Deep blue with hints of gold– so chic! We love this card, the calligraphy mixed with the narrow sans serif font works incredibly well together. We also love the movement the paint swipes add to this save the date.

Save the date #8

What says “chic” more than a black and silver foil card. Doesn’t this scream 007 to you? Think modern venue, fancy (fast) cars, martinis– shaken, not stirred, and black tie dress code.

Save the date #9

Midnight Blue, gold and white are the perfect alternative to black and white. Normally, it is good design practice to use no more than two different font styles per project. For some reason, the mixture of these script, serif and sans serif fonts just work in this case. The shiny glittery gold back of the card adds some drama to this save the date!

9 Fantastic Fall Centerpieces

 

Are you planning a fall wedding that is just around the corner? Have no idea what to do about your fall centerpieces?
We have 9 fantastic ideas to help you out! Take a look below.

 

White Antlers & Pumpkins

This first idea is great if you’re having a really colourful wedding, but you want your centerpieces to be a little more subtle. You can take this idea and add a few pops of colour, or go for the all white look. Either way, this centerpiece is so different and so beautiful, especially for a fall wedding.

Apple Cider, Anyone?

The second centerpiece we are going to look at is a stunning apple-vine centerpiece. Complete with different size pillar candles, this centerpiece would be perfect for a vineyard, orchard or even a golf course. No matter the venue, this gorgeous decoration is perfect for a late summer or fall wedding.

Succulent Pumpkins

This next centerpiece, number three, is a gorgeous d.i.y. succulent filled pumpkin. This is a seriously gorgeous centerpiece, nothing like your traditional fall decorations. If you’re having a greenery themed fall wedding, this may be the perfect centerpiece for you! Click on the link below the image to find the d.i.y. instructions.

Oranges, Figs, Berries & Leaves

This orange or tangerine table runner, is our forth centerpiece. This screams fall. This amazing mixture of berries, leaves, figs and citrus adds richness to any table. The colours are perfect for a fall wedding, or even a rustic winter wedding. You could even use this centerpiece for a Thanksgiving or Christmas get together. Stunning!

Pumpkins, Candles, Leaves

This warm and inviting centerpiece is a fall wedding classic. Our fifth fall wedding centerpiece is colourful, cheery and elegant. What is fall without the colourful changing leaves and the spectacular pumpkins, anyways. Adding white taper candles and lower pillar candles add romance to the rustic looking decor. Fall in love with this gorgeous focal point.

Mason Jar D.I.Y.

Centerpiece number six, a d.i.y. mason jar and handmade flower decoration, is rustic and perfect for a fall wedding. The colours are perfect, but you can change them according to your theme. You can also switch the fabric flowers for tissue flowers or even natural flowers. We love the twine around the mason jars, which add to the rustic fall feel.

Fall Flowers & Vines

Our seventh fall wedding centerpiece is a beautiful, orange, red and green flower and vine vase. A simple, yet elegant focal point for your guests to enjoy, while they converse and await their food. The simple brown fabric adds to the autumn feel and gives the table extra warmth.

Colourful Leaves & Candlelight

This eighth centerpiece is the ideal (and inexpensive) option for a fall wedding. What’s the point in killing flowers for 25 table decorations for one night, when you can gather already fallen leaves. This is a great option when you’re trying to stay on budget, without looking cheap. Use mod-podge to keep the leaves where you want them and to protect them from the flame of a tealight candle. Or carefully place them in the jar and haphazardly add them to the top.

White Pumpkins & Antlers

Our final centerpiece, number nine, is similar to the first centerpiece we looked at, although, very different as well. This centerpiece will be front and center stage at your wedding. The antlers, flowers, berries and foliage pour out of the gorgeous off-white pumpkin. This is not your traditional table decor, but it is spectacular all the same!

5 Steps to Choosing a Wedding Theme

5 Steps to Choosing a Wedding Theme

5 Steps to Choosing a Wedding Theme

Congratulations, your engaged! Planning a wedding can be both exciting and frustrating, but we’re going to help you with your first step. Choosing a wedding theme should be one of the first steps you take (choosing a date should come first). You’ll need to think about a few things in order to choose your theme: colours, season, location/ venue, decoration and restrictions.

 

Colours

Let the brainstorming start. Close your eyes and think of the perfect wedding. What colours come to mind? What sort of look do you visualize? If you like modern elements think of golds, silvers and rose golds. Or maybe your idea of the perfect wedding is at a beautiful cottage, in this case, think neutrals. The next step season may also determine your colour scheme. If you want a fall wedding, think deep oranges, reds, purples and yellows. A summer wedding may look more bright and cheerful and a spring wedding full of pastels. Winter weddings can have the cool look: blues and silvers, or a warm look: reds and golds.

In any case, when choosing your colour scheme think about these element: bridesmaid dresses, grooms men’s ties, flowers and decor. You don’t want to choose bright yellow as your main colour if your bridesmaids look terrible in yellow.

Season

The season you choose to have your wedding will have a big impact on your theme’s colour palette. You definitely won’t be having a winter wonderland theme with pastel yellows, blues and pinks. The season may also impact the look of your wedding. Maybe you want a rustic fall themed wedding. Chances are, your wedding will be within the fall months, otherwise your theme may look out of place. If you are having a destination wedding in the winter, chances are you won’t be having a white Christmas themed wedding. You can embrace the natural colours and go for a greenery themed wedding, or add a pop of colour! No matter when you’re planning your wedding, keep the season in mind.

Location/Venue

Think about what sort of venue you want for your wedding. Do you see a barn wedding or maybe a wedding an ultra modern hotel. This will definitely impact your theme choice. You definitely don’t want an ultra modern theme at a barn or a rustic themed wedding at a modern hotel. The theme will clash with the venue, which will look like a mistake or just thrown together. Make sure your theme and venue compliment one another. You may also want to check out this article on How to Choose a Venue in 5 Easy Steps.

Decorations

When your fiancé and you think of how your wedding will look, what sort of decorations do you see? Do you have a favourite flower that you’d like or maybe you love rustic décor. This will all play a big part in choosing your wedding theme. Someone who like clean lines will not want a rustic wedding theme. If all you can see is flowers as the décor, you should try to make that your theme. Have your wedding in a beautiful green house or in a garden. Decoration has one of the biggest impacts on your wedding theme. Try making a list of decorations you’d love to see and then another list of decorations you’d hate to see at your wedding. This might help eliminate certain theme ideas.

Restrictions

Now that you know what sort of wedding you envision, you need to think of any restrictions you may have. If you’re doing a destination wedding, for example, you may want to have a vague theme in mind. Try not to plan every detail, unless you have access to a wedding planner where the wedding will take place. Countries like D.R. may not have the same flowers they have in the USA or Canada, so keep that in mind. The best thing to do is research the types of flowers available in the season you are going. Choose a colour scheme based on those seasonal flowers.

If you dream of having wedding with a campfire at the end of the night, make sure your venue allows this. A cottage theme may sound perfect in theory, but if you have over 150 guests, this may not be ideal. In fact, this may no longer be an option. Make sure you check the capacity for your venue!

7 Inspiring Beach Wedding Aisles

7 Inspiring Beach Wedding Aisles

Are you having a destination wedding, or maybe you’re having a wedding close to home, but you live in Honolulu. Well if you’re going to be getting married on a beach, I have 7 gorgeous beach wedding aisle to inspire you. These call all be done yourself, as long as you bring the appropriate decorations with you.

Pretty in Purple

Wedding aisle number one is this majestic-looking beach wedding. The beautiful purple looks amazing with the turquoise ocean and adds a pop of colour. The bouquets at both the front and back of the aisle add a touch of elegance and scream tropical wedding and the burlap aisle runner is the perfect addition both blending in to the colour of the sand and standing out because of the different texture. Take a look at this beautiful scene!

Romantic Beach Lanterns

This second wedding aisle is perfect for a wedding on the beach around dusk or sunset. Imagine walking down the aisle to your love surrounded by lanterns while the sun is setting. Absolutely breath-taking! There is something so romantic about candle light, the sound of the ocean and feeling the sand in your toes. Seriously, just think about it!

Beachy Baby’s Breath

Aisle number three is a really awesome idea. These are cute sayings or quotes about love: Love – it does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud. The baby’s breath coming out of the lanterns are a nice touch as well, along with the burlap aisle with flower petals sprinkled on top. If you were going for a more rustic beach wedding look, this might be the perfect DIY for you.

Simply Sandy

Aisle 4 has simple decorations. The classic white wedding chairs, hydrangeas, some ribbon and a simple, but beautiful fabric and flower covered arbour closer to the ocean. White flower petals line the aisle.

Tropical Paradise

The Fifth beach aisle is a gorgeous tropical scene. The opened french doors that show to ocean through them is the perfect touch and the flowers around the door frame adds both a romantic element and elegance. Again, like in aisle three, there are quotes about love written on pieces of wood. I also love that this part of the beach is surrounded by flora, it definitely adds to the greenery theme of the wedding. I have to say, I love the whole look of this aisle!

Greenery at its Greatest

This sixth aisle is one of my favourites (have I mentioned that I’m obsessed with pineapples!). If you’re going to have a destination wedding in a tropical paradise, then use items that can be found there. I love how simple, yet beautiful this wedding aisle is. I’m all about greenery themed weddings lately. Especially for outdoor weddings, it has a touch of elegance without being over the top. Take a look!

Seashells & Succulents

The final beach aisle uses a different type of flora: succulents and ornamental grass with some seashells. The pops of colours from the succulents and seashells mixed with the neutral grass works together amazingly. Succulents are really in right now, and there is no wonder why, just take a peek at the image below. It screams warm, windy day on the beach.
