My Wedding Sequin Obsession!

Right now I'm obsessed with everything that sparkles, especially sequins!  Bling hasn't gone anywhere, but the addition of this embellishment into the repertoire makes wedding design even more fun!  But please take it easy when adding sequins to your ceremony and/or reception space.  Less is truly more when creating :)  Check out some of these table inspirations that twinkle:

...I Found It, You Pin It...Friday!

The days of the head table are becoming obsolete and giving way to more modern style tables like the sweetheart table and kings table.  But when I saw this head table...I screamed AMAZING-NESS!!!  If you are going to have a head table positioned in front of all the guest tables within the reception space...go BIG, BOLD, BLING, LAVISH and LUSH!!!  I just adore the BLING belt running across the front of this stunning head table! WOW FACTOR!

I'm in LOVE with these lush linen for a sweetheart table!  The swirl pattern of ribbons creates the amazing look of roses.  And the gorgeous orchid and rose centerpiece hugging the perimeter of the table is simply STUNNING!!!  WOW FACTOR to the fullest!

Stunning would be an understatement for the Friday, May 11th Pin It Pic!  WOW! OMG! Look at the "chandelier" suspended above that lavish sweetheart table!  The bride and groom sitting on those seats of honor have the term "WOW Factor" sewed up from TOP to Bottom!!!  Enjoy!

To Have and To Hold Your Bouquet (Day#3)

Most of the wedding ceremony you will be holding your beautiful bouquet, but what happens to it once all the photos are done and the reception begins?  I mean it is a costly piece and you don't want to have it laying around all night.  Assign it a task as well.

Have a vase at your sweetheart or head table with just a little water at the bottom to cover the stems.  Place your bouquet in the vase and watch it double as a beautiful table centerpiece. You could also consider placing your wedding bouquet on the cake table or dessert table should you already have a head table arrangement. And should you really want to make a dramatic statement, have vases for your bridesmaids scattered on the head table for their bouquets.

Until next time...WEDologize!
