Swoon! These brides are gorgeous! There's something about outdoor weddings that always bring about a magical feel. Yes, you do run the risk of weather complications, but that's why you should always have a backup plan! ⁣☔️
⁣
In the U.S. the best time to have outdoor weddings are early summer and early fall months like May, June, September, and October. These months have milder weather and are less unpredictable than other months! ⁣☀️

Are you having an outdoor wedding? What month? Comment below!⁣ 💭

Obsessed with these sage green cake pops. Like, the gold leaf... come ON! So gorgeous. It may be a surprise to some, but many brides have talked about how their guests don't really eat wedding cake, and they wish they wouldn't have spend so much money on it!⁣ 🍰
⁣
Some couples have resorted to just ordering a small cake for themselves to cut, and then having a dessert table for the guests. Desserts could include cake pops, cupcakes, cookies, s'mores, donuts, an ice cream bar, et cetera!⁣ 🍩🍪🧁🍦
⁣
Are you having a wedding cake? Are you doing a dessert table instead? Comment below! ⁣💭

Wedding invitations are fun because you can make them whatever shape you want these days! Also, you can customize them to your liking, like adding these flowers and a wax seal! 🌸⁣
⁣
Pro tip: don't use wax seals on all of your invitations, only the ones you're hand delivering! It's been said that the wax seals can get caught on things while being delivered and pop off of the envelope! So, consider taking the safe route and only having cute customizations on your hand delivered invitations! 💌⁣

This table setup... GORGEOUS. The green table runner and the gold cutlery gives the table a very whimsical and earthy feel. 🌎🌱⁣

To make your wedding space feel the most cohesive throughout, utilize your wedding color palette as best as you can with your decor!⁣

What’s your wedding aesthetic? ⁣

So yeah, this is a thing! Certain perfumes can double as a mosquito repellant! The most effective perfumes are Victoria’s Secret bombshell and Avon Skin So Soft bath oil! These two scents can repel mosquitos for about 2 hours. Who would’ve known, right? ⁣🌸
⁣
While testing out perfumes for your wedding day, it’s definitely worth looking into a few that repel insects if you’re having an outdoor wedding! ☀️

These soaps are so gorgeous! If there's a wedding favor we absolutely LOVE it's soap! Everyone uses it (hopefully) and you and your partner will have a little diy project to work on together! 🧼⁣
⁣
You can choose your colors and scents and buy some molds if you want all of them to look to the same! ✨⁣
⁣
Do you like soap as a wedding favor? Why or why not? 🤔💭⁣

Suuuuch a sucker for sage green! It's such a gorge

Suuuuch a sucker for sage green! It's such a gorgeous color and looks great on literally every skin tone 🥰⁣
⁣
Bridesmaid dresses are so personal to the style of the bride, but going with a dress that's tea-length like these ones will have your besties thanking you on the dance floor! We don't need anyone tripping over themselves all night, especially when there's already alcohol involved! 😉🥂⁣

Little patron! 💚 How cute are these bottles? Such a great favor that guests will LOVE! Edible wedding favors are a safe option if you're unsure of what you want to gift to your guests. 🍾⁣
⁣
Some couples will hand out cookies, have a candy bar, give out little wine or champagne bottles, or rent a food truck for the end of the night for guests to get a midnight snack! The options are endless for edible favors, just make sure to have alternative options for anyone who has dietary restrictions! 🍔🍟🍕🍪⁣

How sweet is this little flower girl dress? Obsessed with the color and that flower crown! Traditionally, flower girls wear white, but these days you can choose any color that fits your theme and aesthetic. ✨⁣

Are you having a flower girl? If so, what color dress are they wearing? 🌈👗⁣
