Trendy Thursday { Food Pairings }

A fun spin-off of the bite size trend is the mini food & beverage pairing. Some of my favorites are grilled cheese with a tomato soup shot {not really a beverage, but still delicious}, mini sliders with beer shooters, and milk shots with tiny chocolate chip cookies {perfect for a late night treat}.

Trendy Thursday { Homestead Elegance }

One of my favorite reception trends for 2013 is homestead elegance – it’s all about dressing up ranch style weddings with some glitz and glamour {think vintage barn with candelabras, lots of floral, & gilded edges}.

Tuesday Tips { Program Trends }

Gotta love seeing couples getting creative with programs, from all-in-one options {ceremony & reception}, to programs that come with a super cute tissue {for tears of joy of course}!

Favorite Friday { Washi Tape }

I hadn’t heard of Washi tape until about a week ago. Apparently it’s become a staple for crafters everywhere, and it’s started making an appearance in the wedding world. It’s similar to masking tape but comes in all sorts of colors and patterns. Minted has been incorporating Washi tape into their wedding stationery, and I must say I quite like it!

Trendy Thursday { C’est Chic }

The chignon is the quintessential bridal hair style. But what exactly is a “chignon?” The word “chignon” comes from the French phrase “chignon du cou,” which means nape of the neck. These hairstyles are simple, elegant, and oh so feminine.


Trendy Thursday { Pinterest & Etsy for Grooms }

It’s true, grooms use Pinterest and Etsy too! Not only are they great sites for finding wedding decor & ideas, but they’re also great for a few more reasons:

  • Finding groomsmen gifts {easy to find ideas and personalized items}
  • Browsing through sample groom’s cake {this idea may not be for every couple, but it’s a great way to showcase the groom’s interests}
  • Flipping through different fashion ideas {everything from bow ties to tuxes}
  • Selecting the perfect honeymoon site {Pinterest is a great resource for finding amazing photos of various destinations}
  • Rehearsal dinner ideas {search for “rehearsal dinner” and suggestions for venue, food & drink, decor, and more will pop up}

Trendy Thursday { Geometric Graphics }

Geometric patterns are all the rage in wedding decor right now – from cakes, to linen, and even lighting options!
