Cute Bouts!!

weddings // No Comments

I don’t know about you, but I am so over the traditional rose boutonniere!  Of  course they are still totally in style but I say we change things up a bit with a fun and non-traditional bout.  Here are my favs of the moment – all from the oh so fabulous etsy.com of course!  Those talented peeps are incredible and I could spend hours just looking at all of the unique crafty items.

This is the perfect pick for a destination wedding or to incorporate a special place into your decor – a fun and subtle touch!  Only $15 by seller SurroundingsOnline.

Oh so vintage and blingy – these are a much for any vintage styled wedding.  I know that we are seeing vintage as the new buzz word for 2011 – what do you think?  Do you love them?!  I do!  Only $15 each by seller ericacavanagh.

I am having such a hard time deciding on my favorite – but these are definitely up there.  Oh so earthy, vintage and unique, these swanky bouts are only $13 each from seller TheBoutonniery.

If you are looking to add something fun and unique to your dashing assembly of groomsmen be sure to check out etsy.com and the sellers mentioned for the perfect fit for your style and personality!

Inspired by Rebecca!

General, weddings // 2 Comments

So we have this amazing new bride with such a romantic love story.  She tells it best, but each time we meet she has mentioned where her new Fiance proposed.  She blushes and smiles and is utterly in love with him and their story – we adore her and each of those romantic moments.  I know that she reads our blog and I wanted to let her know she inspired me.  :)   So this one is for Rebecca!

How awesome to have an intimate inside joke with your soon to be husband!  Little touches of your special locations are just the way to personalize your wedding.  Here are some fantastic finds from my favorite online resource Etsy.com.  Enjoy!

Such a cool find!  Subtle and totally a keepsake.  From seller sherrytruitt these one of a kind cufflinks are sure to make your man smile. Only $52!

Seriously my husband would love something like this.  If you actually know the GPS coordinates of where you got engaged or your eyes first met then really surprise your man with this totally unique gift!  Etsy.com seller beargraphics.  $39

This is by far my favorite find for showing off a very special place in the world.  Keeping it close to your heart, this is definitely a conversation piece and you can even put a special picture inside – yes its also a locket!  From Etsy.com seller vsc83.  $39 each!

The Perfect Wedding Favor

weddings // No Comments

I was working on favors for a bride yesterday and was having no luck thinking of anything different. Favors become so boring and a waste of money with boxes of chocolates, matches and all the other items that either get left on the table or thrown in the trash as soon as you get home. I can’t tell you how many favors we collect at the end of the night when cleaning up a reception.

I really wanted something that wasn’t tacky and had a southern charm to it…. and then I found it!! Personalized tea bags!!! (You can find them on Etsy) In the South we love our tea and personalizing them made them so precious!! I thought about it and took it a step further. At each place setting we could place a teacup and have the teabag sitting in it. It would be an adorable way to display. So, not only would the guests get the cute little tea bag, but a teacup as well. Some of the tea bags were actually reusable!! I had it… a very elegant favor that wasn’t tacky, southern, elegant and actually useful that someone would want to take home!!! Plus, it will look amazing at the place setting for the table. I love it!!
