I hop on a lot of planes. I love to travel. I find the architecture and culture of cities around the globe inspiring. Through all this I’ve also come to love that global, jet-setter aesthetic. Globes, world maps, old fashion luggage, old world keys, cultural obscurities and vintage finishes are all components of travel décor. If you’re the same, why not celebrate your love for travel in your wedding planning? A wedding theme doesn’t always need to be a color palette, a destination theme, or culturally centered. Emphasize what you and your fiancé love most.
Check out this week’s world traveler wedding inspiration board. Try tea stained escort cards, guest location flags on globes (a centerpiece perhaps?), luggage prop engagement photos or a champagne fountain (ok that one might not be worldly but it’s awesome).

And if it doesn’t inspire your wedding decorations maybe it’ll spark some ideas for your honeymoon.

In honor of the Mad Men season finale that aired last night I bring you a Mad Men wedding inspiration board. For those of you not familiar with the show, Mad Men is a 1960s drama focused on the interworking of an advertising firm in New York City. The silhouettes, personalities, and dramas can easily translate to your wedding day. Have an entirely Mad Men inspired wedding or simply steal some accessories, dress cuts or drink recipes inspired by the show.

Pearls and prim and proper dresses can accessorize your bridal party. And if you decide to make it a truly Mad Men wedding, why not include a few pop art prints as your wedding reception table markers? Or just pull in the 1960s vibe with short gloves and wedding veils. Getting married or not, this drink recipe sounds delicious.

Wedding monograms add a custom detail to all of your wedding elements; from the invitations to the reception décor, your custom wedding monogram can be used to bring all elements of your wedding together. Modern brides are no longer limited to the traditional wedding monogram of simply intertwining the newlyweds’ initials together.

Choose a custom font like this wedding invitation element. It’s simple and chic yet adds personalization to your wedding stationary.

you can easily transform any picture into a silhouette

Don’t just stop at combining the couples’ initials – why not combine a picture of their faces? Wedding silhouettes are timeless and add a touch of vintage style. Choosing to use a silhouette monogram in your wedding still leaves open a number of possibilities. You can choose traditional facing silhouettes, an image of the couple sitting a table, kissing under a tree or any pose from the engagement photo shoot.

If you want to take an even more modern approach I love this idea from Martha Stewart Weddings. Make your wedding monogram with your two finger prints making the shape of a heart. It’s simple and refined yet modern and unexpected. Try this innovative idea or make one of your own!

Today is the first day of October which means the fall season is in full swing. Though capes, leopard print and military silhouettes are “in” this season, nothing says fall to me more than jewel tones. Dark purple is deep and luxurious yet playful – the perfect combination for a fall wedding. These vintage monogram wedding invitations by Modern Girl Invitations let purple take the spot light.
The monogram and antique scroll design keep these wedding invitations traditional while the bright punch of color adds a modern twist. Keep things modern by simply sending out a wedding invitation or go more traditional and send out the complete wedding invitation suite. It’s your big day so do what feels most comfortable for you.
Maybe grape wedding invitations aren’t quite your style. These monogram invitations come in an array of colors – just pick the one that best suites you! These can also be completely customized, just contact us!
