love the bold, modern color combination

I cannot resist a good wedding tablescape. I think my wedding detail rankings might go dress, location, couture tablescape, husband. My ranking system could possibly explain why that fourth detail is currently non-existant. Details.

i love me some feathers

These couture tablescapes by Sandra Downie Event Designs are stunning. She shows a sample ranging from bold and modern colors to classic layouts to shabby chic touches and I love them all. Decorating such a large event always comes down to the details. They may seem like the last thing you need to worry about but they’re also what turn a basic wedding venue into your own space. And Sandra seems to have figured out exactly how to do just that.

she does shabby chic too

And she’s located right here in New England with me - must be a sign that she should plan my next birthday party. A touch over the top and flawlessly styled - sound right up my alley.

Many of you may be thinking, what do the Emmys have to do with my wedding? The red carpet is full of gorgeous women in expensive, elegant gowns with full hair, makeup and accessories. So while you may not be able to completely knockoff these looks, you can print a hair style or makeup look to be the inspiration for your big day.

Claire Danes, you know I love a glitter moment

Plus, today plenty of celebrities are having white red carpet moments or taking wedding gowns and having them made in another color. If nothing else, you can use these amazing looks as your daily dose of inspiration whether you copy them or not.

If only I could convince Neil Lane to lend me a few million in diamonds for my big day. I’d promise to give them back.

I’m a big fan of matching wedding stationary. It makes things easier on the bride since she only has to pick out one design plus it gives your wedding a polished look. While invitations, RSVPs and escort cards should all be part of you wedding invitation suite, I don’t agree that your save-the-date cards need to be a part of that complete package.

mini envelopes are always a plus

Save-the-date cards get mailed to guests six months in advance, especially if your guests are traveling from out of town or you are planning a destination wedding. With so much time between your save the date cards and the rest of your wedding materials, you can send out something completely different – so have a little fun!

focus on the location, especially if that's all you've picked so far

If you’re having a destination wedding, why not include a map of the location on an adorable postcard like the one above? If you can’t decide between a postcard and a regular card, why not do both? I love this innovative take on a traditional save-the-date postcard. The layout and font are so fun, emphasizing that this is a joyous announcement! You can focus on your formal wedding style later.
