Trendy Thursday { Save the Date Photo Magnets }

What better way to share a reminder of your approaching special day then to have a custom save-the-date magnet made for your family and friends? This compact and purposeful save-the-date, that can easily be placed on a daily appliance such as the refrigerator, not only serves as the perfect date reminder, but also, as an exciting anticipation technique, and eventually, a beautiful memory for the ones that will have joined in your special day. These personalized photos will show everyone your personality as a couple and can even set the tone for what they can expect for the style of your wedding!

Trendy Thursday { Book Worm }

Not only can a book take you to far off lands and on amazing adventures, but they also make for wonderful decor! Patterns, gold accents, and worn pages add a vintage element while also telling guests a bit more about yourself (you can tell a lot about a person based on the types of books they read).

Trendy Thursday { Whimsical Woodland Inspiration }

Here’s a great way to create some one of a kind centerpieces! These can be super easy to create on your own- incorporate knick-knacks from around your home, add some doilies (you can get these paper versions at Michael’s), and maybe throw in a few simple flowers.

Favorite Friday {Creative Wedding Dessert Table}

Having cupcakes at your wedding? Add a touch of glamour to the dessert table and give these dangling cupcakes a try!

Trendy Thursday { Place Cards }

Here’s a cute new idea I came across to replace traditional seating placecards. The picture shows old cassette tapes with each guest’s name and a song that corresponds with the table they’ll be seated at. Since tapes are so old-school, switch them out for CD, flashdrive, or (if you really want to “wow” your guests) an ipod shuffle. Not only do they serve as place cards, but they double as favors =)

Trendy Thursday { Concrete Vases }

Here’s a cool new twist on floral vases! These are actually concrete cinder blocks, perfect as a super modern and contemporary reception centerpiece.

Trendy Thursday { Food Stations }

Using food stations instead of the traditional buffet/plated reception meal is a great way to get your guests out of their seat and mingling with others. Big City Catering features a wonderful selection of stations that are sure to wow your guests!
